The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Venus, with Venus continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding ordinary and preferred share of Venus, nominal value of New Israeli Shekels 0.001, other than shares held by Venus as treasury stock or held by the Company or Merger Sub, will be converted into the right to receive 8.6506 (“Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (“Company Share”), and (ii) each outstanding Venus stock option and warrant will be assumed by the Company and converted into and become an option or warrant (as applicable) exercisable for Company Shares with the number and exercise price adjusted by the Exchange Ratio.

On August 14, 2019, the Company, Radiant Merger Sub Ltd. and Venus entered into the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement Amendment”). The Merger Agreement Amendment, among other things, adds as a condition to closing the Merger the satisfaction of the following: (i) Venus must have raised cash proceeds in one or more issuances of common equity interests or convertible bond indebtedness of Venus or the Company, in an aggregate amount of at least $20,000 (exclusive of any investment by Madryn Health Partners, LP (Venus’ lender) not later than the close of business on the closing date of the Merger and (ii) Venus and the other loan parties to the credit agreement by and among Venus, such parties and the Madryn entities, must have unrestricted cash of at least $20,000 immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Under the terms of the transaction, the Company and Venus shareholders will own approximately 15% and 85% of the combined company, respectively, on a fully diluted basis, without giving effect to the shares issued in the proposed equity commitment letter dated March 15, 2019, that is expected to close immediately after the merger (the Equity Commitment Letter). EW Healthcare Partners has committed to lead a $21,000 equity investment, priced at $0.4664 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits), in the combined company’s common stock contingent on the closing of the Merger. Additional investors committed to participating in the proposed equity financing include HealthQuest Capital, Madryn Asset Management, Longitude Capital Management, Fred Moll and Aperture Venture Partners. On August 14, 2019, the Company, Venus and the investors party to the Equity Commitment Letter entered into the first amendment to the Equity Commitment Letter (the “Equity Commitment Letter Amendment”). Pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter Amendment, the investors agreed to amend the Equity Commitment Letter to “pull forward” their maximum committed amounts such that the $21,000 committed under the Equity Commitment Letter would be invested on or prior to August 30, 2019 in Venus convertible promissory notes which will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock immediately following the consummation of the Merger. On August 14, 2019, the equity commitment letter investors purchased an aggregate of $6,950 in Convertible Notes and on August 21, 2019, certain of the remaining Equity Commitment Letter investors purchased an additional $14,050 of Convertible Notes.


In addition to the Equity Commitment Letter, Fred Moll and InterWest Partners previously funded a $5,000 convertible note to the Company, which will convert into the combined company’s common stock upon consummation of the merger at a price of $0.4664 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits).On August 20, 2019, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company raised $2,000 through the issuance of an unsecured subordinated convertible promissory note to Frederic Moll, M.D. as discussed in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

On August 14, 2019, pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2019, with Venus and certain investors named therein pursuant to which Venus sold an additional $7,200 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes to such investors. The Convertible Notes contain the same terms as the $7,800 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes that were sold pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement on June 25, 2019 and bear interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate of eight percent (8.0%) per annum from the date of issuance. The Company’s stockholders approved a proposal that effective upon the closing of the Merger, all of the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest on the Convertible Notes will automatically be converted, in whole, into the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company at a conversion price of $0.4664 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Convertible Notes.

In connection with the Convertible Note Financing, on June 25, 2019, the Company entered into a $2,500 Unsecured Subordinated Promissory Note, which funded on July 5, 2019, with Venus Concept USA Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Venus. On August 14, 2019, the Company entered into another $2,500 Unsecured Subordinated Promissory Note funded in three tranches A and B of $1,000 each and tranche C of $500 with Venus Concept USA Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Venus, collectively (the Subordinated Notes). Tranches A and B were funded on August 27, 2019 and September 25, 2019, respectively, for a total of $2,000. The maturity date of the Subordinated Notes is November 30, 2019. The Subordinated Notes bear interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum from the date of issuance, provided that upon any event of default pursuant to the Subordinated Notes, the Subordinated Notes shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate that is 4% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable thereunder. The Subordinated Notes are unsecured and subordinate in priority to the Company’s existing obligations to Solar Capital, Ltd. under its amended loan and security agreement.

The Company (formerly named Restoration Robotics, Inc.), completed its business combination with Venus, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Immediately following the effective time of the Merger, the Company effected a 15-for-1 reverse stock split of the common stock (“Reverse Stock Split”) and the Company changed its corporate name from “Restoration Robotics, Inc.” to “Venus Concept Inc.”, (“Name Change”) and the business conducted by Venus became the primary business conducted by the Company. Venus is an innovative global medical technology company that develops, commercializes and delivers minimally invasive and non-invasive medical aesthetic technologies and related practice enhancement services. The Merger, the Reverse Stock Split and the Name Change were approved by the Company’s stockholders at an annual meeting of its stockholders held on October 4, 2019.

Toconcern within 12 months from the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. In addition, the coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19” or “pandemic”) has had a significant negative impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020 and for the six months then ended, and management expects the pandemic to continue to have a negative impact in the foreseeable future, the extent of which is uncertain and largely subject to whether the severity of the pandemic worsens, or duration lengthens.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company raised net cash proceeds of $2,956 under the Equity Purchase Agreement as described below.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional capital, it may be compelled to reduce the scope of its operations and planned capital expenditures or sell certain assets, including intellectual property assets.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Venus Concept Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP)(“U.S. GAAP”) and inwith the opinioninstructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of management, reflectRegulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidatedinformation and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements included in this report. The condensed consolidated financial data disclosed in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements related to the three-month periods are also unaudited. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019, or for any other future annual or interim period. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, filed with the SEC on March 20, 2019, as amended.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of thethese unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformityaccordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as ofat the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenuerevenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimatesperiods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to the Company and assumptions made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financialunknown future impacts of statementsCOVID-19 include,as of June 30, 2020 and through the date of this report filing. The accounting matters assessed included, but arewere not limited to, revenue recognition,the allowance for doubtful accounts inventory valuation, stock-based compensation, warranty accrual and the recoverabilitycarrying value of goodwill, intangible and long-lived assets. Based on the assessment performed, the Company recorded an additional allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,954 and $3,454 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Amounts reported in thousands within this report are computed based on the amounts in dollars. As a result, the sum of the components reported in thousands may not equal the total amount reported in thousands due to rounding. Certain columns and rows within tables may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying numbers in dollars.

Restatement of Comparative Amounts

Venus Concept Ltd. previously classified the issuance of common stock and preferred stock as a credit to common stock. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, amounts issued in excess of par value are required to be accounted for in additional paid in capital (APIC). The error is a reclassification from common stock into APIC and has an overall immaterial impact on the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity and consolidated balance sheet. Items previously reported have been reclassified to conform to U.S. GAAP and the reclassification did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of cash flows and net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.loss per share calculations.


Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of funds invested in readily available checking and savings accounts, investments in money market funds and short-term time deposits. The Company’s restricted cash is held in a separate money market account as collateral for credit cards.

Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has determined it operates in a single operating segment and has one reportable segment, as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. The Company does not assess the performance of individual product line on measures of profit or loss, or asset-based metrics.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, (theor the JOBS Act).Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued aftersubsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it is (i) no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014‑09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as amended by ASU No. 2015-14, ASU No. 2016-08, ASU No. 2016-10, ASU No. 2016-12,Risks and ASU No. 2016-20, (collectively, ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 establishes a principle for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services and provides guidance on the recognition of costs related to obtaining and fulfilling customer contracts. ASU 2014-09 is required to be adopted, using either of two methods: (i) retrospective to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09; or (ii) retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures. Uncertainties

The Company adoptedhas considered the new revenue standardimpact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of that date. See Note 3. Revenue, to the unauditedits condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details.


In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-7, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)— Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This guidance supersedes ASC 505-50 and expands the scope of ASC 718 to include all share-based payment arrangements related to the acquisition of goods and services from both nonemployees and employees. The amendments should be applied onstatements. COVID-19 has had a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective adoption method. The adoption of this standard did not have a materialsignificant negative impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020 and for the three and six months then ended, and management expects the pandemic to continue to have a negative impact in the foreseeable future, the extent of which is uncertain and largely subject to whether the severity of the pandemic worsens, or duration lengthens. These impacts could include, but may not be limited to, risks and uncertainty related disclosuresto the ability of the Company’s sales and no cumulative-effect adjustment was recordedmarketing personnel and distributors to accumulated deficit at January 1, 2019.access the Company’s customer base, disruptions to the Company’s global supply chain, reduced demand and/or suspension of operations by the Company’s subscription customers which could impact their ability to make monthly payments, or deferral of aesthetic or hair restoration procedures which would impact the Company’s revenues. Consequently, these have negatively impacted the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and its overall financial condition. In addition, the impact of COVID-19 may subject the Company to future risk of material intangible and long-lived assets impairments, increased reserves for uncollectible accounts, and adjustments for inventory and market volatility for items subject to fair value measurements.


Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016,April 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑02, a Staff Question-and-Answer Document (Q&A): ASC Topic 842 and ASC Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic, that focuses on the application of the lease guidance for lease concessions related solely to the effects of COVID-19. The FASB issued the guidelines to reduce the burden and complexity for companies to account for such lease concessions (e.g., rent abatements or other economic incentives) under current lease accounting rules due to COVID-19 by providing certain practical expedients that can be used. This guidance can be applied immediately. The Company is currently assessing the impact of applying this guidance to its lease arrangements as well as when to adopt this guidance.

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04 - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (ASC Topic 848). This authoritative guidance provides optional relief for companies preparing for the discontinuation of interest rates such as LIBOR, which is expected to be phased out at the end of calendar 2021, and applies to lease contracts, hedging instruments, held-to-maturity debt securities and debt arrangements that have LIBOR as the benchmark rate. This guidance can be applied for a limited time, as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 or any date thereafter, through December 31, 2022. The guidance may no longer be applied after December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of applying this guidance as well as when to adopt this guidance.

In February 2020, the FASB issued authoritative guidance (ASU 2020-02 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842), or ASU 2016‑02, as amended by ASU 2019-01 issued) that amends and clarifies Topic 326 and Topic 842. For Topic 326, the codification was updated to include the Securities and Exchange Commission staff interpretations associated with registrants engaged in March 2019, (collectively, ASU 2016-02), which requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. Under ASU 2016‑02, a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right‑to‑use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For public entities, this standardlending activities. ASC Topic 326 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018,January 1, 2023, including interim periods within that reporting period. As an Emerging Growth Company, this standard is effective for the Company in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted.those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the standard andimpact of applying this guidance on its impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. However, the Company does expect a material change in its consolidated assets and liabilities upon adoption of this standard.instruments, such as accounts receivable.

3. REVENUE

Change in Accounting Principle

In May 2014,December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue2019-12 – Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, an authoritative guidance that simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and making simplifications in other areas. It is effective from Contractsthe first quarter of fiscal year 2022, with Customers (Topic 606). Topic 606 supersedesearly adoption permitted in any interim period. If adopted early, the revenue recognition requirementsCompany must adopt all the amendments in Topic 605 Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and requires entitiesthe same period. The amendments have differing adoption methods including retrospectively, prospectively and/or modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to recognize revenue when controlretained earnings as of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflectsbeginning of the consideration to whichfiscal year of adoption, depending on the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The FASB has issued several amendments to the standard, including clarifications on disclosure of prior-period performance obligations and remaining performance obligations.

The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective method).specific change. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. This approach was applied to all contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s historical net losses and, therefore, no adjustment was made to the opening balance of accumulated deficit at January 1, 2019. Therefore, the comparative 2018 period has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under Topic 605.

Topic 606’s core principle is that a reporting entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying this new guidance to contracts within its scope, an entity will:

Identify the contract(s) with a customer;

Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

Determine the transaction price;

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.


Impact on Financial Statements

In accordance with Topic 606, the disclosure ofcurrently evaluating the impact of applying this guidance and believes that it has transactions that may fall under the change in accounting principle to the unaudited condensed consolidated statementsscope of operations and balance sheet was as follows:this guidance.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue primarily through the sale and delivery of promised goods and services, which consists of the sale of ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems, training on the systems, extended service contracts, consumables and marketing services. Revenue is recognized when control is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services. Sales prices are documented in the executed sales contract or purchase order prior to the transfer of control to the customer. Customers may enter into a separate extended service agreement (referred to as ARTAS Care) to purchase an extended warranty for products from the Company whereby the payment is due at the inception of the agreement or in monthly installment payments. Revenue for ARTAS Care is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.

The Company also utilizes distributors to sell ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems and related consumables in certain markets outside of the United States. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the goods or services is transferred to the distributors. Standard terms for all agreements with either end customers or distributors do not allow for right of return, refunds, payment contingent on obtaining financing or other terms that could impact the customer’s payment obligation. Payment terms for U.S. customers are generally at shipment, delivery, or within 30 days of shipment, while payment terms for customers outside of the U.S. vary between 30 and 180 days after shipment.

Performance Obligations, Determination and Allocation of Transaction Price and Method of Recognition

The Company's system sale arrangements generally contain multiple products and services. For these bundled sale arrangements, the Company accounts for individual products and services as separate performance obligations. These performance obligations include: ARTAS® or ARTAS® iX System, including related accessories and software license (considered as one performance obligation), product training, consumables (consisting of harvest or site making/implantation kits), extended service contracts and marketing services. All ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems include an assurance-type standard warranty, generally for a 12-month period. ARTAS Care (extended warranty service contract) will commence at the expiration of the standard warranty period. For multiple performance obligations arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation, which is based on observable prices.


ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems and consumables are performance obligations that are satisfied at a point in time (upon shipment), whereas ARTAS Care, product training, and marketing services are performance obligations that are satisfied over time (e.g. straight line over the performance period or as training and marketing services are performed).

The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period as follows (in thousands):

(A)

Represents unearned revenue for the remaining three months of the year 2019.

Shipping and Freight Costs

Shipping and freight costs are treated as fulfillment costs. For shipments to end-customers, the customer bears the shipping and freight costs and has control of the product upon shipment. For shipments to distributors, the distributor bears the shipping and freight costs, including insurance, tariffs and other import/export costs. Additionally, sale taxes are excluded from revenue.

Practical Expedients

In connection with the Company’s adoption of Topic 606, the Company elected to use the following practical expedients (i) not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between the Company's transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less; (ii) to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period would have been one year or less; and (iii) not to recast revenue for contracts that begin and end in the same fiscal year.

Costs to Obtain Customer Contracts

Sales commissions and related expenses are considered incremental and recoverable costs of acquiring customer contracts. Except for sales commissions that would have been amortized in one year or less, which we have elected the practical expedient discussed above, certain sales commissions related to ARTAS Care and consumables that are sold bundled with the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the anticipated period of benefit, which we have estimated to be three years for ARTAS Care extended warranty service contracts and five years for consumables. We determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration the length of the customer contracts, the Company’s technology lifecycle, and other factors. Amortization expense is recorded in sales and marketing expense within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2019, short-term and long-term unamortized deferred compensation were $3 and $8, which are included in “Prepaid and other current assets” and “Other Assets,” respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred Revenue (Remaining Performance Obligations)

The aggregate balance of remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized primarily from ARTAS Care extended warranty service contracts, product training and marketing services not yet rendered to customers.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into geographical regions and by the timing of when goods and services are transferred. The Company determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by regional economic factors.

The following tables provide information about disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers into geographic regions, and the nature of the products and services:

4.3. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common sharesstock outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common sharestock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of this calculation, convertible preferred stock, preferredcommon stock warrants and stock options are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share when their effect is dilutive.

Effective November 7, 2019, a reverse The net loss attributable to common stockholders’ is adjusted for the preferred stock split of 15-for-1 was retrospectively applieddeemed dividend related to the commonbeneficial conversion feature for the periods in which the preferred stock equivalentsis outstanding.

5.4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Cash

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provision of the financial instrument. Subsequently, all financial instruments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

The financial instruments of the Company consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable,long-term receivables, line of credit, trade payables, government assistance loans, accrued expenses and accruedother current liabilities, approximateearn-out liability, other long-term liabilities and long-term debt. In view of their nature, the fair market value becauseof most of the short-term nature of those instruments. The Company’s Term Loan with Solar and Convertible Promissory Notes (both discussed further in Note 8) have fair values that approximatefinancial instruments approximates their carrying value.amounts.


U.S. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring

The Company measures the fair value of its financial assets and aliabilities using the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. This framework maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the observable inputs be used when available. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It applies to both items recognized and reported at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements and items disclosed at fair value in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the transparency of inputs as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted pricesareavailablein activemarketsforidenticalassetsor liabilitiesas of thereport date.A quotedpriceforan identicalassetor liabilityin an activemarketprovidesthemostreliablefair valuemeasurementbecauseitisdirectlyobservableto themarket.

hierarchy. A financial instrument’s levelclassification within the fair value hierarchy is based onupon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However,The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the determinationinputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of what constitutes “observable” requiresthe assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant judgment byto the Company. fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based uponon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.


The Company classifies its restricted cash and guaranteed investment certificates within Level 2 as it uses alternative pricing transparencysources and models utilizing market observable inputs. Contingent earn-out consideration is classified within Level 3.

The earn-out liability is measured using discounted cash flow techniques, with the expected cash outflows estimated based on the probability of assessment of the acquired business achieving the revenue metrics required for payment. Expected future revenues of the acquired business and the associated estimate of probability are not necessarily correspond toobservable inputs. The payments due are based on point in time measurements of the Company’s perceived riskmetrics quarterly for two years from the acquisition date.

6. BALANCESHEETCOMPONENTS5. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company’s products may be sold under subscription contracts with control passing to the customer at the end of the lease term, which is generally 36 months. These arrangements are considered to be sales-type leases, where the present value of all cash flows to be received within the arrangement is recognized upon shipment to the customer as lease revenue.

A financing receivable is a contractual right to receive money, on demand or on fixed or determinable dates, that is recognized as an asset on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company's financing receivables, consisting of sales-type leases, totaled $55,802 and $72,602 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are included in accounts receivable and long-term receivables on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluates the credit quality of an obligor at lease inception and monitors credit quality over the term of the underlying transactions.

The Company performed an assessment of the allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Based upon such assessment, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts totaling $14,277 and $10,494 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Additions to inventory are primarily comprised of newly produced units and applicators, refurbishment cost from demonstration units and used equipment which were reacquired during the six months from upgraded sales. The Company expensed $3,603 and $7,203 in cost of goods sold in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively ($6,072 and $11,313 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively). The balance of cost of goods sold represents the sale of applicators, parts and warranties.

The Company provides for excess and obsolete inventories when conditions indicate that the inventory cost is not recoverable due to physical deterioration, usage, obsolescence, reductions in estimated future demand and reductions in selling prices. Inventory provisions are measured as the difference between the cost of inventory and net realizable value to establish a lower cost basis for the inventories. As of June 30, 2020, a provision for obsolescence of $2,091 ($1,439 as of December 31, 2019) was taken against inventory.

7. INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

As described in Note 1, in November 2019, the Company completed its business combination with Venus Concept Ltd., which included the addition of goodwill of $24,847 and amortizable intangible assets, represented by the technology ($16,900) and the brand name ($1,200). Goodwill associated with the Merger was primarily attributable to the future revenue growth opportunities associated with additional share in the hair restoration market, as well as the value associated with assembled workforce.

The carrying values of goodwill and indefinite-life intangible assets are subject to annual impairment assessment as of the last day of each fiscal year. Between annual assessments, impairment review may also be triggered by any significant events or changes in circumstances affecting the Company’s business. The global pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has significantly impacted the Company’s business during the first three months of 2020, including its sales, supply chain, manufacturing and accounts receivable collections. As a result, the Company considered the COVID-19 pandemic as a triggering event and conducted quantitative impairment assessment of its goodwill as of March 31, 2020.


The Company has one reporting unit and the reporting unit’s carrying value was compared to its estimated fair value. As at March 31, 2020, the Company estimated its fair value using a combination of income approach and market approach. The income approach is based on the present value of future cash flows, which are derived from long term financial forecasts, and requires significant assumptions including among others, a discount rate and a terminal value. The market approach is based on the observed ratios of enterprise value to revenue multiples of the Company and other comparable publicly traded companies. Based upon the results of the goodwill impairment assessment, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $27,450 as of March 31, 2020, which represented the full balance of goodwill for the reporting unit. Based on the analysis of the intangible assets and long-lived assets performed by the management as at June 30, 2020, no further impairment was considered necessary.

Intangible assets net of accumulated amortization and goodwill were as follows:

Venus Concept China Matter

The Company’s Chinese subsidiary, Venus Concept China, imports and sells registered medical devices and unregistered non-medical devices in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). One of its unregistered products has been the subject of inquiries from two district level branches of the SAMR, Xuhui MSA and Huangpu MSA, as to whether the product was properly sold as a non-medical device. In January 2019, Venus Concept China applied to register a version of this non-medical device as a medical device with the National Medical Products Administration of PRC, or NMPA. On June 12, 2019, Venus Concept China was informed that Xuhui MSA had opened an administrative investigation case related to whether the device is an unregistered medical device, as a result of a complaint that Xuhui MSA received from a former distributor of Venus Concept China. Huangpu MSA notified Venus Concept China that it would be suspending its separate investigation against Venus Concept China, pending the results of the Xuhui MSA investigation. The Company and Venus Concept China have voluntarily stopped sales in China of this product. On December 11, 2019, Xuhui MSA informed Venus Concept China that a determination had been made by the Shanghai Medical Products Administration that Versa’s IPL function should be administered as a Class II medical device. Xuhui MSA also suggested that Venus Concept China consider a voluntary recall of all Versa units sold in China. In late January 2020, Venus Concept China received a copy of the Shanghai Medical Products Administration’s determination that because of the intended uses for Versa’s IPL function comprise medical treatment functions such as “treatment of benign pigmented epidermis and skin lesions,” Versa’s IPL function should be administered as a Class II medical device. Although the revenue generated from the product that is the subject of the investigation did not represent a material amount of the Company’s total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, monetary penalties nonetheless could be material.


In April 2020, Venus Concept China received a determination from NMPA on its application for registering Versa’s IPL function as a medical device. NMPA has approved the registration of one applicator HR 650 for hair removal as a Class II medical device out of the four IPL applicators for which Venus Concept China had originally applied. The date of registration is April 15, 2020. Venus Concept China also submitted an explanation letter and a draft Corrective & Preventive Action Report plan to Xuhui MSA during a meeting with the local authority on April 23, 2020. However, on April 29, 2020, Xuhui MSA informed Venus Concept China that its administrative investigation case has been transferred to Xuhui Branch of Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau (“Xuhui PSB”) for further handling. On May 6, 2020, the economic crime investigation department of Xuhui PSB confirmed to Venus Concept China’s local PRC counsel that they would review and decide whether or not to file formally a criminal investigation case against Venus Concept China and any relevant individuals allegedly responsible for any alleged criminal offense(s). On May 29, 2020, Venus Concept China was informed by Xuhui MSA of Xuhui PSB’s decision not to file a criminal investigation case and was shown a written Notice of non-filing of a criminal case issued by Xuhui PSB. On the same day, Xuhui MSA informed Venus Concept China that it would reopen and resume its administrative investigation case against Venus Concept China, which proceedings are currently ongoing.

The Company and Venus Concept China are cooperating with the relevant authorities in these matters; however, the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters.

Further, the Company may from time to time continue to be involved in various legal proceedings of a character normally incident to the ordinary course of its business, which does not deem to be material to the Company’s business and results of operations.

Loan and Security Agreement

In May 2018,On April 29, 2020, the Company entered into a Loanthe Twelfth Amendment to the Madryn Credit Agreement that (i) require that interest payments for the period beginning January 1, 2020 and Security Agreementending on, and as subsequently amendedincluding, April 29, 2020 (the Solar Agreement) with Solar Capital Ltd. (Solar)“PIK Period”), be paid-in-kind, (ii) increase the interest rate from 9.00% per annum to 12.00% per annum during the PIK Period and certain other lenders thereunder (together with Solar, the Lenders), and Solar, as the Collateral Agent. The Solar Agreement consists of a four-year term loan for an aggregate principal amount of $20,000 (the Borrowings), for working capital, to fund the Company’s general business requirements and to repay indebtedness of(iii) require the Company to Oxford Finance LLC (the Oxford Agreement). The Company used $10,085 of the loan proceeds to repay the outstanding principal of $8,667, a final payment fee of $1,300 plus accrued interestprovide certain additional financial and prepayment fees of $118 under the Oxford Agreement. The Borrowings under the Solar Agreement bear interest through maturity at a rate equalother reporting information to the U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate plus 7.95% per annum (the Interest Rate). The outstanding balance on the loan was $20,000 and accrued interest totaled $167 as of September 30, 2019. The Interest Rate was 10.1% at September 30, 2019.lenders.

Pursuant to the terms of the Solar Agreement, the Company shall make interest only payments until December 1, 2019 (the Interest Only Period). The Interest Only Period may be extended up to three additional months, if the Company achieves certain revenue and capital fundraising thresholds. Following cessation of the Interest Only Period, the Company shall make equal monthly payments on the outstanding principal balance of the Borrowings and any unpaid and accrued interest such that the Borrowings shall be fully repaid on May 1, 2022.

In addition, pursuant to the Solar Agreement, the Company issued the Lenders warrants (the Warrants) to purchase an aggregate of 161,725 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at an exercise price of $3.71 per share. The Warrants were immediately exercisable upon issuance, and excluding certain mergers or acquisitions, will expire on the ten-year anniversary of the date of issuance. The fair value of the Warrants issued was determined to be $404 using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: common stock price at issuance of $3.71 per share; exercise price of $3.71; risk-free interest rate of 2.97% based upon observed risk-free interest rates; expected volatility of 55.50% based on the Company’s implied volatility; expected term of ten years, which is the contractual life of the Warrants; and a dividend yield of 0%. The fair value of the Warrants was recorded as a debt discount within notes payable and an increase to additional paid-in capital on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The debt discount is being amortized as interest expense over the term of the Solar Agreement, using the effective interest method.

The third-party transaction costs (not paid directly to the lenders) related to the debt of $404 are accounted for as a debt discount and classified within notes payable on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortized as interest expense over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. Unamortized debt discounts related to the Oxford Agreement and all fees paid directly to Solar and Oxford totaling $505 in connection with the debt financing in May 2018 were written off to “Other income (expense), net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.


The obligations under the Solar Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all the Company’s property. The Solar Agreement contains certain affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default, including, covenants and restrictions that among other things, require the Company and its subsidiary to satisfy certain financial covenants including covenants requiring the Company to satisfy certain revenue and liquidity thresholds, and restricts the ability of the Company and its subsidiary’s ability to, incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, make loans and investments, engage in mergers and acquisitions, engage in asset sales or sale and leaseback transactions, and declare dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock. A failure to comply with these covenants could permit the Lenders under the Solar Agreement to declare the Borrowings, together with accrued but unpaid interest and certain Prepayment Fees, to be immediately due and payable. On November 2, 2018, the Solar Agreement was amended to modify the compliance requirement for certain revenue and liquidity thresholds.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $3,861 outstanding ($7,789 as of December 31, 2019) under the Credit Facility, which bears interest at LIBOR rate plus 3.25%, which amounted to a weighted average of 4.06% (5.72% for the six months ended June 30, 2019).

 


On March 20, 2020, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement as a borrower with CNB, as amended, pursuant to which CNB agreed to make certain loans and other financial accommodations to the Company, and certain of its subsidiaries. In connection with the CNB Credit Facility, the Company also entered into (i) a Second Amended and Restated Guaranty of Payment and Performance with CNB dated as of March 20, 2020, (the “CNB Guaranty”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to guaranty the obligations under the CNB Credit Facility and (ii) a Security Agreement with CNB dated as of March 20, 2020, (the “CNB Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to grant CNB a security interest, in substantially all of its assets, to secure the obligations under the CNB Credit Facility. Borrowings under the CNB Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and the CNB Guaranty.

The CNB Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain either a minimum cash balance in deposit accounts or a maximum total liability to tangible net worth ratio and a minimum debt service coverage ratio. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants. An event of default under this agreement would cause a default under the Madryn Credit Agreement (see Note 9).

11. GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

The Company and one of its subsidiaries, Venus Concept USA Inc. (“Venus USA”), received funding in the total amount of $4,048 in connection with two Small Business Loans under the federal Paycheck Protection Program provided in Section 7(a) of the Small Business Act of 1953, as amended by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, as amended from time to time (the “PPP”).

The Company entered the U.S. Small Business Administration Note dated as of April 21, 2020 in favor of CNB pursuant to which the Company borrowed $1,665 original principal amount, which was funded on April 29, 2020 (the “Venus Concept PPP Loan”). The Venus Concept PPP Loan bears interest at 1% per annum and matures in two years from the date of disbursement of funds under the loan. Interest and principal payments under the Venus Concept PPP Loan will be deferred for a period of six months.

The Venus Concept PPP Loan contain certain covenants which, among other things, restrict the Company’s use of the proceeds of the PPP Loan to the payment of payroll costs, interest on mortgage obligations, rent obligations and utility expenses, require compliance with all other loans or other agreements with any creditor of the Company, to the extent that a default under any loan or other agreement would materially affect the Company’s ability to repay its PPP Loan and limit the Company’s ability to make certain changes to its ownership structure.

Venus USA entered into a U.S. Small Business Administration Note dated as of April 15, 2020 in favor of CNB. Venus USA borrowed $2,383 original principal amount, which was funded on April 20, 2020 (the “Venus USA PPP Loan” and together with the Venus Concept PPP Loan, individually each a “PPP Loan” and collectively, the “PPP Loans”). The terms of the Venus USA PPP Loan are substantially similar to the terms of the Venus Concept PPP Loan.

Under certain circumstances, all or a portion of the PPP Loans may be forgiven, however, there can be no assurance that any portion of the PPP Loans will be forgiven and that the Company would not be required to repay the PPP Loans in full. The Company recorded PPP Loans within the long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Under the Madryn Credit Agreement each PPP Loan is permitted to be incurred by the Company and Venus Concept USA as long as certain conditions remain satisfied, including that all PPP Loans must be forgiven other than any amount which can fit under existing permitted debt baskets in the Madryn Credit Agreement. If the Company and/or Venus Concept USA defaults on the respective PPP Loan or if any of the conditions to the incurrence thereof under the Madryn Credit Agreement are not satisfied (i) events of default will occur under the Madryn Credit Agreement and the CNB Credit Facility and (ii) the Company and Venus Concept USA may be required to immediately repay their respective PPP Loan.

The U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) has decided, in consultation with the Department of the Treasury, that it will review all loans in excess of $2,000 following the lender’s submission of the borrower’s loan forgiveness application. To the extent that the SBA’s audit determines that Venus Concept USA was not entitled to the loan under the PPP, the loan may not be forgiven, an event of default would occur under the Madryn Credit Agreement and Venus Concept USA could be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $4,048 outstanding under the PPP Loans (None as of December 31, 2019).

On May 6, 2020 the Company’s subsidiary, Venus Concept UK Limited, received funding in the total amount of $61.9 (50.0 GBP) in connection with the loan under the Bounce Back Loan Scheme (“Venus Concept UK Loan”), the program established in the U.K. to help smaller businesses impacted by COVID-19. This loan bears interest at 2.5% per annum and matures in six years from the date of disbursement of funds. Interest and principal payments under the Venus Concept UK Loan will be deferred for a period of twelve months. As of June 30, 2020 the balance of the Venus Concept UK Loan was $61.9 (None as of December 31, 2019).


Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries applied for government assistance programs and received government subsidies aggregating $555. The terms of these government assistance programs vary by jurisdiction. The Company recorded government subsidies received as a reduction to the associated wage costs in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate due to the recognition of previously unrecognized carried forward tax losses.

15. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the full year 2019 will be (0.17)%. Based on available evidence, including cumulative losses since inceptionChief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and expected future losses, thein assessing performance. The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has determined that it is more likely than not thatoperates in a single operating segment and has one reportable segment, as the Company’s U.S. federal, U.S. stateCODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by geography and Korea deferred tax assets will not be realizedtype for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and therefore a valuation allowance has been provided on these net deferred tax assets.

The Company has substantial net operating loss carry forwards available to offset future taxable income for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. The Company’s ability to utilize its net operating losses may be limited due to changes in its ownership as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code). Under the provisions of Sections 382 and 383 of the Code, a change of control, as defined in the Code, may impose an annual limitation on the amount of the Company’s net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and other tax attributes that can be used to reduce future tax liabilities.

The Company files tax returns for U.S. federal and state tax returns along with tax returns in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Spain and South Korea. The Company is not currently subject to any income tax examinations. Since the Company’s inception, the Company had incurred losses from its U.S. operations, which generally allows all tax years to remain open.

Beginning in first quarter of 2018, the Company is subject to new provisions of the tax law, including provisions related to Global Low Taxed Intangible Income (GILTI), Foreign Derived Intangible Income deductions (FDII), and other changes. However, due to the Company’s losses and full valuation allowance in the U.S., these were determined to have no material impact to the Estimated Annual Effective Tax Rate due to the full Valuation Allowance in the U.S.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Accounting Standards Codification 740-10 requires that the Company recognize theevaluating financial statement effects of a tax position when it becomes more likely than not, based upon the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. The gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2019 is approximately $1,540 and related to the reserve on R&D credits, none of which will affect the effective tax rate if recognized due to the valuation allowance.performance.

Our systems have been designed on a cost-effective, proprietary and flexible platforms that can identify and dissect hair follicular units directly from the scalp, create recipient implant sites and robotically implant the hair follicles into the implant sites. In addition to the ARTAS® System, we also offer the ARTAS Hair Studio application, an interactive three-dimensional patient consultation tool that enables a physician to create a simulated hair transplant model for use in patient consultations. We received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in April 2011 to market the ARTAS® System in the U.S., and we have sold the ARTAS® System into 37 other countries. In March 2018, we received 510(k) clearance from the FDAenable us to expand beyond the ARTAS® technology to include implantation.aesthetic industry’s traditional markets of dermatology and plastic surgery, and into non-traditional markets, including family and general practitioners and aesthetic medical spas. In the third quarterthree and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a substantial majority of 2018, we commercially launched the next generation ARTAS® System, called ARTAS® iX System, which incorporates the implantation functionality as well as other functionalities. As of September 30, 2019, the ARTAS® System and ARTAS Hair Studio application are protected by over 80 patentsour systems delivered in the U.S. and over 110 international patents.North America were in non-traditional markets.

The transaction was approved by our stockholders and the stockholdersbusiness of Venus and is expected to close on or before November 15, 2019, subject to all necessary regulatory approvals.

On August 14, 2019,Concept Ltd. became the Company, Radiant Merger Sub Ltd. and Venus entered into the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement Amendment”). The Merger Agreement Amendment, among other things, adds as a condition to closing the Merger the satisfactionprimary business of the following: (i) Venus must have raised cash proceeds in one or more issuances of common equity interests or convertible bond indebtedness of Venus or the Company, in an aggregate amount of at least $20.0 million (exclusive of any investment by Madryn Health Partners, LP (Venus’ lender) not later than the close of business on the closing date of the Merger and (ii) Venus and the other loan parties to the credit agreement by and among Venus, such parties and the Madryn entities, must have unrestricted cash of at least $20.0 million immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.company.

Under the terms of the transaction, the Company and Venus shareholders will own approximately 15% and 85% of the combined company, respectively, on a fully diluted basis, without giving effect to the shares issued in the proposed equity commitment letter dated March 15, 2019 that is expected to close immediately after the merger (the Equity Commitment Letter). EW Healthcare Partners has committed to lead a $21.0 million equity investment, priced at $0.4664 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits), in the combined company’s common stock contingent on the closing of the Merger. Additional investors committed to participating in the proposed equity financing include HealthQuest Capital, Madryn Asset Management, Longitude Capital Management, Fred Moll and Aperture Venture Partners. On August 14, 2019, the Company, Venus and the investors party to the Equity Commitment Letter dated


as of March 15, 2019 entered into the first amendment to the Equity Commitment Letter (the “Equity Commitment Letter Amendment”). Pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter Amendment, the investors agreed to amend the Equity Commitment Letter to “pull forward” their maximum committed amounts such that the $21.0 million committed under the Equity Commitment Letter would be invested on or prior to August 30, 2019 in Venus Concept convertible promissory notes which will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock immediately following the consummation of the Merger.

On November 7, 2019, we completed our merger transaction with Venus and Merger Sub. Upon completion of the Merger, Restoration Robotics was renamed “Venus Concept, Inc.” Concurrent with closing of the Merger, the Company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. The shares of the combined company will trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the trading symbol “VERO.” See the Current Report on Form 8-K we filed with the SEC on November 7, 2019 for additional information.

Issuance of Convertible Promissory Notes by Venus and Issuance of Subordinated Promissory Note by Restoration Robotics

On June 25, 2019, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the Note Purchase Agreement) with Venus and certain investors named therein pursuant to which Venus sold $7.8 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior subordinated convertible promissory notes (the Convertible Notes) to such investors (the Convertible Note Financing). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, Venus may sell up to $10.0 million of Convertible Notes without further approval of the board of directors of Venus (the Venus Board), and up to an additional $5.0 million of Convertible Notes subject to the approval of the Venus Board. The Convertible Notes bear interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate of eight percent (8.0%) per annum from the date of issuance. Subject to receipt of the approval of the our stockholders to the extent required under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, effective upon the closing of the Merger, all of the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest on the Convertible Notes will automatically be converted, in whole, into the number of shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.4664 per share.

On August 14, 2019, pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2019, with Venus and certain investors named therein pursuant to which Venus sold an additional $7.2 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes to such investors. The Convertible Notes contain the same terms as the $7.8 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes that were sold pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement on June 25, 2019 and bear interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate of eight percent (8.0%) per annum from the date of issuance. The Company’s stockholders approved a proposal that effective upon the closing of the Merger, all of the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest on the Convertible Notes will automatically be converted, in whole, into the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company at a conversion price of $0.4664 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Convertible Notes.

In connection with the Convertible Note Financing, on June 25, 2019 we also entered into a $2.5 million Unsecured Subordinated Promissory Note, which funded on July 5, 2019, with Venus Concept USA Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Venus. In addition, on August 14, 2019, we entered into a $2.5 million Unsecured Subordinated Promissory Note funded in three tranches A and B of $1.0 million each and tranche C of $0.5 million with Venus Concept USA Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Venus, collectively (the Subordinated Notes). Tranche A and B were funded on August 27, 2019 and September 25, 2019, respectively, for a total of $2.0 million with tranche C unfunded as of September 30, 2019. The maturity date of the Subordinated Notes is November 30, 2019. The Subordinated Notes bear interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum from the date of issuance, provided that upon any event of default pursuant to the Subordinated Notes, the Subordinated Notes shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate that is 4% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable under thereunder. The Subordinated Notes are unsecured and subordinate in priority to our existing obligations to Solar Capital, Ltd. under its amended loan and security agreement. On November 7, 2019, the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest was converted into shares of common stock.

We have fundedhad recurring net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $135.5 million and $75.7 million, respectively. Until we generate revenue at a level to support our cost structure, we expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. In order to continue our operations, we must achieve profitable operations and/or obtain additional equity investment or debt financing. Until we achieve profitability, we plan to date primarily from the issuancefund our operations and salecapital expenditures with cash on hand, borrowings and issuances of our common stock in our IPO and subsequent public follow-on offering, private placements of our equity securities and, to a lesser extent, through debt financings, exercises of our

See “—Equity Purchase Agreementwith Lincoln Park below. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative impact on our business, and we expect the pandemic to continue to have a negative impact in the foreseeable future, the extent of which is uncertain and largely subject to whether the severity of the Merger.pandemic worsens, or duration lengthens. Given the COVID-19 pandemic, we may need additional capital to fund our future operations and to access the capital markets sooner than we planned. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available at all, will be on terms that are acceptable to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital, we may be compelled to reduce the scope of our operations and planned capital or research and development expenditures or sell certain assets, including intellectual property assets. See ‘‘—Liquidity and Capital Resources’’.

Equity Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park

On June 16, 2020, we entered into the Equity Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park, which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, we may sell to Lincoln Park up to $31.0 million of shares of our common stock pursuant to our shelf registration statement.

The net proceeds from shares issuance as of June 30, 2020 were $3.0 million. In July 2020 we sold additional 0.5 million shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park for $1.9 million. The Equity Purchase Agreement will enhance our balance sheet and financial condition to support our future growth initiatives.

Loan

Products and Security AgreementServices

On November 7, 2019, we paid off

We derive revenue from the sale of products and terminatedservices. Product revenue includes revenue from the following:

the sale of systems, which includes the main console and is inclusive of control software and applicators (referred to as system revenue);

marketing supplies and kits;

consumables and disposables;

replacement applicators/handpieces; and

Venus Concept skincare and hair products.

Service revenue includes revenue derived from our obligationsVeroGrafters technician services, our 2two5 internal advertising agency, and our extended warranty service contracts provided to our existing customers.

Systems are sold through our subscription model, or through traditional sales contracts directly and through distributors.

We generate recurring monthly revenue under our Loan Agreement with Solarsubscription-based business model and from traditional system sales. Venus Concept Ltd. commenced a subscription-based model in North America in 2011 and, for the Lenderssix months ended June 30, 2020, and 2019, approximately 58% and 70% of system revenues were derived from our subscription model, respectively. We have launched our subscription model in targeted international markets in which we operate directly. We currently do not offer the ARTAS® iX System for hair restoration under the Loan Agreement. The payoff to Solarsubscription model.

Our subscription model includes an up-front fee and a monthly payment schedule, typically over a period of 36 months, with approximately 40% of total contract payments collected in the Lenders pursuantfirst year. To ensure that each monthly product payment is made on time and that the customer’s system is serviced in accordance with the terms of the warranty, every product purchased under a subscription agreement requires a monthly activation code, which we provide to the Loan Agreement consistedcustomer upon receipt of the monthly payment. These recurring monthly payments provide our customers with enhanced financial transparency and predictability. If economic circumstances are appropriate, we provide customers in good standing with the opportunity to “upgrade” to new agreements for the newest available or alternative Venus Concept’s technology throughout the subscription period. This structure can provide greater flexibility than traditional equipment leases secured through financing companies. We work closely with our customers and physicians to provide business recommendations that improve the quality of service outcomes, build patient traffic and improve financial returns for the customer’s business.

We have developed and commercialized twelve technology platforms, including our ARTAS® and NeoGraft® systems. Our medical aesthetic technology platforms have received regulatory clearance for indications such as treatment of facial wrinkles in certain skin types, temporary reduction of appearance of cellulite, non-invasive fat reduction (lipolysis) in the abdomen and flanks for certain body types and relief of minor muscle aches and pains, as well as other indications, that are cleared for marketing in overseas markets but not in the United States, including treatment of certain soft tissue injuries, temporary increase of skin tightening, temporary body contouring, and vaginal treatments in the Israeli and other markets. We believe our ARTAS® and NeoGraft® systems are complementary and give us a hair restoration product offering that can serve a broad segment of the market.


In the United States, we have obtained 510(k) clearance from FDA for our Venus Freeze and Freeze Plus systems, Venus Viva, Venus Viva MD, Venus Legacy, Venus Versa, Venus Velocity, Venus Heal, Venus Bliss, Venus Epileve and ARTAS® systems. The Venus Glow and NeoGraft® systems are listed as class I devices under FDA classification system. Outside the United States, we market our technologies in over 60 countries across Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Because each country has its own regulatory scheme and clearance process, not every device is cleared or authorized for the same indications in each market in which a particular system is marketed.

As of June 30, 2020, we operated directly in 26 international markets through our 23 direct offices in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Spain, France, Germany, Australia, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, India, Israel, Italy, Russia, Kazakhstan and South Africa.

Our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were $17.0 million and $27.8 million, respectively. We had a net loss attributable to Venus Concept of $13.2 million and $5.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively. We had an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.7 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

Our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were $31.5 million and $52.4 million, respectively. We had a net loss attributable to Venus Concept of $63.3 million and $11.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively. We had an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $16.4 million and $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as net loss income before foreign exchange loss, financial expenses, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and non-recurring items for a given period. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA along with other financial performance measures, including net income, and our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently or not at all, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. We understand that although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and warrantsalthough depreciation and amortization are a non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated will often have to purchase upbe replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for analyzing the performance of our core business because it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to 50,000 sharesperiod and company to company by backing out potential differences caused by changes in foreign exchange rates that impact financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of Common Stock, post Reverse Stock Split, at an exercise pricechanges in effective tax rates), the age and book depreciation of $6.00 per share.fixed assets (affecting relative depreciation expense), amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense (because it is a non-cash expense) and non-recurring items as explained below.

Key Factors Affecting ourImpacting Our Results of Operations

Our results of operations are impacted by several factors, but we consider the following to be particularly significant to our business:

Number of systems delivered. The majority of our revenue is generated from the delivery of systems, both under traditional sale contracts and under subscription agreements. The following table set forth the number of systems we have delivered in the geographic regions indicated:

Mix between traditional sales, subscription model sales and distributor sales.We believe theredeliver systems through (1) traditional direct system sales contracts to customers, (2) our subscription model, and (3) system sales through distributor agreements. Unit deliveries under direct system sales contracts and subscription agreements have the higher per unit revenues and gross margins, while revenues and gross margins on systems sold through distributors are several important factorslower. However, distributor sales do not require significant sales and marketing support as these expenses are borne by the distributors. In addition, while traditional system sales contracts and subscription contracts have similar gross margins, cash collections on subscription contracts generally occur over a three-year period, with approximately 40% collected in the first year and the balance collected evenly over the remaining two years of the subscription agreement.

Investment in Sales, Marketing and Operations. In recent years we made a strategic decision to penetrate the global market by investing in sales and marketing expenses across all geographic segments. This includes reducing our reliance on distributor arrangements, opening more direct offices and hiring experienced sales, marketing and operational staff. While we will generate incremental product sales in these new markets, these revenues and the related margins may not fully offset the startup investments in the initial years. In the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively, we did not open any direct sales offices, and are currently reevaluating our profitability and overall business model in select countries that have impacted,yet to produce sustainable results. As of June 30, 2020, we sold our share (51%) in our Bulgarian subsidiary, Venus Concept Central Eastern Europe Ltd., to a third party for the cash consideration of 0.5 million Euro which is equivalent to $0.5 million. The disposal resulted in loss of $0.4 million.

Bad Debt Expense. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may primarily arise from subscription customers that are unable to make the remaining required payments under their subscription contracts. Due to COVID-19, in the first half of 2020, we have experienced significant reductions in the collection of accounts receivable from our subscription customers across the markets we operate. As a result, in addition to our regular allowance for doubtful accounts, we recorded a COVID-19 related bad debt charge of $0.5 million and that we expect will impact, our results$3.0 million in the first and the second quarters of operations.

Adoption2020, respectively. The cumulative COVID-19 bad debt charge of $3.5 million represents 3.6% of the ARTAS® Systemgross outstanding accounts receivable as of June 30, 2020, respectively.

Outlook

COVID-19

The growthglobal pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has significantly negatively affected all aspects of our business depends onduring the first half of 2020, including our abilitysales, supply chain, manufacturing and accounts receivable collections.


Employee and customers’ health and safety measures. At Venus Concept, safety is our top responsibility and that includes the health and wellness of our employees globally. In response to gain broader acceptanceCOVID-19, we instituted several operational measures to ensure the safety of our employees, which include, but are not limited to the following:

Suspended or reduced operations at manufacturing and warehouse facilities;

Implemented and continuously updated our health and safety policies and processes;

Established remote working guidelines;

Maintained communication with customers, including planning for business resumption, implementing virtual training sessions and monitoring announcements regarding developments;

Enhanced safety guidelines and access to personal protective equipment for our clinical trainers; shifted to virtual training sessions where possible.

Initiated thorough cleaning and decontamination procedures throughout our global manufacturing, warehouse and office facilities.

Supply chain. A number of the ARTAS® System and, in particular, the latest iterationcomponents we use to manufacture our systems are sourced from China. We had experienced difficulty with sourcing certain component parts from China for some of our ARTAS System, ARTAS® iX,systems, including Venus Bliss, in the first quarter of 2020 and, consequently, we were not able to manufacture the number of systems we forecasted for the first quarter and part of the second quarter of 2020. Our China sourcing issue was fully remedied in the second quarter of 2020; nevertheless, we experienced difficulties in meeting customers’ demand in the second quarter of 2020 as well as the ARTAS procedure by successfully marketing and distributing the ARTAS® System and the ARTAS procedure. Ifa result of sourcing disruption earlier this year. In addition, from March 16, 2020 to June 1, 2020, we arewere unable to successfully commercializeaccess our ARTAS® System and the ARTAS procedure, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achievefacility in San Jose or sustain profitability. In the near term, we expect we will continue to operate at a loss, and we anticipate we will finance our operations principally through offerings of our capital stock and by incurring debt. If we are unable to raise adequate additional capital, we will be unable to maintain our commercialization efforts and our revenue could decline.

Significant Investment in our Sales and Marketing

We have made certain strategic changes to and investments in our U.S. sales and global marketing organizations, which included terminating certain personnel and hiring new personnel and realigning our reporting and leadership structure in the sales organization. For example, throughout 2018 we were increasing the size of our U.S. sales force by hiring sales professionals with experience selling capital equipment and equipment to physicians in the aesthetic market. In addition, we were investing significantly in our sales and marketing efforts related to the launch of the ARTAS® iX System. Strategically, we have been focused on our branding and have consolidated our regional marketing teams to standardize our messaging and focus of our marketing spending with an aim to be more efficient and cost-effective. NPI Solutions, Inc.’s (“NPI”) facility. As a result, we were unable to manufacture sufficient ARTAS procedure kits during this period and were limited to shipping procedure kits from existing inventory. While we currently have seenaccess to our San Jose facility and NPI’s facility has re-opened and we are able to manufacture ARTAS procedure kits, we cannot predict whether these facilities will be closed again by the Order of the Health Officer of the County of Santa Clara, or California State public health orders in response to future COVID-19 developments in the County or State.

Sales markets. We are a reductionglobal business, having established a commercial presence in and improved efficiencymore than 60 countries over the course of our marketing spending.

ten-year history. Approximately 30% of our 2019 sales came from the APAC and European regions which were impacted by the pandemic throughout the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The economic recovery in these regions in the second quarter of 2020 progressed unevenly depending on the success of each individual country in controlling the spread and impact of COVID-19. We anticipate as we continue to advance the commercialization of the ARTAS® iX System, ouralso saw a pronounced decline in system sales, product sales and marketing expensesservice revenues in North America and Latin America beginning in March 2020 and continuing throughout the second quarter of fiscal 2020, primarily as a result of mandated government “shelter-in-place” requirements in these regions. While our results for the second quarter of 2020 were better than we anticipated in both Europe and North America, we expect COVID-19 will continue to increase.significantly negatively affect customer demand in the second half of the year and while we expect further recovery in some markets, the impact of COVID-19 on our sales is unpredictable and could continue to be significant for the foreseeable future.

Revenue Composition

Accounts receivable collections. As a result of the global economic turmoil that has resulted from COVID-19, many of our customers are experiencing difficulty in making timely payments or payments at all during the pandemic under their subscription agreements and Trendswe have experienced a significant reduction in the collection of accounts receivable from our subscription customers across markets in the first half of 2020. As a result, in addition to our regular allowance for doubtful accounts, we recorded a COVID-19 related bad debt charge of $0.5 million and $3.0 million in the first and the second quarter of 2020, respectively. The cumulative COVID-19 bad debt charge of $3.5 million represents 3.6% of the gross outstanding accounts receivable as of June 30, 2020, respectively.

In our largest subscription markets we collected approximately 60% of our billings in March 2020, 30% of our billings in April 2020, 35% in May 2020 and 60% in June 2020. The following table reflects revenueimprovement in collection trends in May and June of 2020 are directly correlated to business re-openings and our collection efforts. We continue to proactively manage the collection of accounts receivables and have made repayment arrangements with the majority of our non-paying subscription customers to either defer collection or to collect a reduced amount, with the expectation of full collection as business activities resume. As a result of implementing repayment arrangements with the majority of our non-paying subscription customers, the majority of these customers have recommenced payments in those jurisdictions where shelter-in-place orders have been lifted and their businesses reopened. Our systems are equipped with monthly activation codes, and non-paying customers will not be provided with codes unless overdue balances are cleared, or they make a repayment arrangement with us. We will continue our pro-active management of collections and will revisit our allowance for doubtful accounts during the next quarter.

Accounts Receivables Collections Initiatives. We have made repayment arrangements with the majority of our non-paying subscription customers to collect temporarily reduced monthly payments where possible and/or deferred amounts in expectation of full collection as business activities continue to resume. We modified our payment arrangements with these subscription customers such that past due amounts are scheduled to be repaid over a three to six month period. Based on our interactions and arrangements in place thus far with our subscription customers, the majority of them have recommenced payments in those jurisdictions where shelter-in-place orders have been lifted and their businesses reopened. While the repayment arrangements and improvements in collections activities made this far are encouraging, we cannot assure you that all subscription customers will resume payments under their contracts, or that we will be successful in collecting all outstanding amounts.

Cost reduction initiatives. Our efforts to reduce the operating expense profile of the combined company are progressing well and we expect our restructuring program, combined with synergies and cost reductions, to result in cost savings of approximately $38.0 million in 2020 and continuing into 2021. After the Merger, we focused on improving the profitability of the combined businesses and identified approximately $18.0 million of synergies and cost reductions related to the Merger. In addition, and in response to the challenging business environment related to COVID-19, we also conducted a full review of our 2020 operating budget. In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we implemented a restructuring program which was mainly focused on reduction of payroll costs through a combination of permanent headcount reductions, a hiring freeze, temporary unpaid leave and a reduced work week for certain employees and reduction of discretionary spending across all departments. We expect to realize costs savings of approximately $20.0 million in 2020 and continuing into 2021. In the three months ended June 30, 2020, we realized in excess of $7.0 million of the projected $20.0 million and expect to realize the balance in the second half of 2020. Our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, reflect a severance provision of approximately $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively. This severance provision related to approximately 107 employees who were terminated by June 30, 2020. We also took immediate actions to reduce discretionary expenses, including advertising and promotion activities, travel, meetings, professional and consulting services. We have agreed to extended payment arrangements with several professional service providers, and we expect to repay outstanding amounts by the end of 2020. In addition, and in response to COVID-19, we are performing an ongoing reassessment of the viability of our subsidiaries that have insufficient revenues to cover high operating expenses. As a part of this reassessment, in the second quarter of 2020 we sold our share (51%) in our Bulgarian subsidiary, Venus Concept Central Eastern Europe Ltd., to a third party for $0.5 million, and recorded a divestment loss of $0.4 million.

Cash Interest Payment Deferral and Covenant Relief. On April 29, 2020, we entered into an amendment to the Madryn Credit Agreement to (i) require that interest payments for the period beginning January 1, 2020 and ending on, and including, April 29, 2020 (the “PIK Period”), be paid-in-kind, (ii) increase the interest rate from 9.00% per annum to 12.00% per annum during the PIK Period and (iii) require us to provide certain additional financial and other reporting information to the lenders. On June 30, 2020, we entered into another amendment to the Madryn Credit Agreement that (i) extends the PIK period through June 30, 2020, (ii) reduces the consolidated minimum revenue threshold requirement (a) for the four consecutive fiscal quarter period ending June 30, 2020, to at least $85.0 million and (b) for the four consecutive fiscal quarter period ending September 30, 2020, to at least $75.0 million, (iii) requires us to raise at least $5.0 million of cash proceeds from the issuance of equity during the period June 1, 2020, through September 30, 2020 and (iv) obligates us to use our best efforts to raise an additional $2.0 million of cash proceeds from the issuance of equity during the period June 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020.

Equity Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park. On June 16, 2020, we entered into the Equity Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park and sold approximately 1.0 million shares of our common stock through this equity line facility yielding net cash proceeds of $3.0 million. In July 2020, we sold additional 500 shares of our common stock for $1.9 million in net cash proceeds. The Lincoln Park facility has a two-year term and provides us with the ability to opportunistically enhance our liquidity position should the COVID-19 pandemic continue for a sustained period of time, as well as facilitate compliance with the Madryn Credit Agreement requirements.

Government Assistance Programs. Certain of our subsidiaries applied for government assistance programs and received loans and other government subsidies aggregating $4.8 million, including $4.1 million in PPP Loans under the CARES Act. The terms of these government assistance programs vary by jurisdiction. See ‘‘—Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

 


The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact our business, operating results, financial condition, and liquidity in the future will depend on future developments, which we cannot predict, including the duration and severity of the pandemic, travel restrictions, business and workforce disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain and treat the disease in each of the markets in which we operate. The situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid, and the potential for additional negative impacts on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity increases the longer the pandemic impacts activity levels in the U.S. and the other countries in which we operate.

Basis of Presentation

Revenues

We derivegenerate revenue from (1) sales of systems through our subscription model, traditional system sales to customers and distributors, (2) other product revenues from the sale of marketing supplies and kits, consumables and our skincare and hair products and (3) service revenue from the sale of our VeroGrafters™ technician services, our 2two5 internal advertising agency and our extended warranty service contracts provided to existing customers.

System Revenue

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, approximately 52% and 58%, respectively, of ARTASour system revenues were derived from our subscription model. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, approximately 68% and 70%, respectively, of system revenues were derived from our subscription model®. Our subscription model is designed to provide a low barrier to ownership of our systems and includes an up-front fee followed by monthly payments, typically over a 36-month period. The up-front fee serves as a deposit. The significantly reduced up-front financial commitment, coupled with less onerous credit and disclosure requirements, is intended to make our subscription-based sales program more appealing and affordable to physicians, including non-traditional providers of aesthetic services such as family practice, general practice, and medical spas. For accounting purposes, these arrangements are considered to be sales-type finance leases, where the present value of all cash flows to be received under the subscription agreement is recognized as revenue upon shipment to the customer and achievement of the required revenue recognition criteria.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, approximately 42% and 37%, respectively, of our system revenues were derived from traditional sales. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, approximately 28% and 24%, respectively, of system revenues were derived from traditional sales. Customers generally demand higher discounts in connection with these types of sales. We recognize revenues from products sold to end customers based on the following five steps: (1) identification of the contract(s) with the customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; and (4) allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. We do not generally grant rights of return or early termination rights to our end customers. These traditional sales are generally made through our sales team in the countries in which the team operates.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, approximately 6% and 5%, respectively, of our system revenues were derived from distributor sales. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, approximately 4% and 6%, respectively, of our system revenues were derived from distributor sales. Under the traditional distributor relationship, we do not sell directly to the end customer and, accordingly, achieve a lower overall margin on each system sold compared to our direct sales. These sales are non-refundable, non-returnable and without any rights of price protection or stock rotation. Accordingly, we consider distributors as end customers, or the sell-in method.

Procedure Based Revenue

We generate revenue from our harvesting and site making procedures in hair restoration procedures. The harvesting procedure is an act of activating the needle mechanism of the ARTAS® System and it consists of multiple harvests (each harvested hair follicle is one harvest), which direct customers can purchase at fixed price per harvest (with a minimum of 750 harvests) or a set price per procedure, as agreed upon at the time of system purchase. We also provide one sterile and one non-sterile disposable clinical kit per procedure. On average, each procedure consists of approximately 1,500 harvests. The customer must place an online order with us for the number of procedures desired and make a payment. Upon receipt of the order and the related payment, we release an electronic key that enables the ARTAS® System to perform the number of procedures purchased. Once the procedures are exhausted (or “consumed”), the customer must purchase additional procedures. Harvesting procedures can also be purchased in bulk orders. The site making procedure uses ARTAS® System to create a recipient site (i.e. site making) in the patient’s scalp affected by androgenic alopecia or AGA (or male pattern baldness). The site making procedures generally include one disposable site making kit. The site making procedures are sold to customers in the same manner as the harvesting procedures.


Other Product Revenue

We also generate revenue from our customer base by selling Glide (a cooling/conductive gel which is required for use with many of our systems), marketing supplies and kits, consumables and disposables, replacement applicators and handpieces, our skincare products (Venus Skin) and hair products, and ARTAS® System training.

Service Revenue

We generate ancillary revenue from our existing customers by selling additional services including VeroGrafters™ technician services for hair restoration using our NeoGraft® system, extended warranty service contracts, and services provided by our 2two5 internal advertising agency.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of costs associated with manufacturing our different systems, including direct product costs from third-party manufacturers, warehousing and storage costs and fulfillment and supply chain costs inclusive of personnel-related costs (primarily salaries, benefits, incentive compensation and stock-based compensation). Cost of goods sold also includes the cost of upgrades, technology amortization, royalty fees, parts, supplies, and cost of product warranties.

Operating Expenses

Selling and Marketing. We currently sell our products and ARTASservices using direct sales representatives in North America and in select international markets. Our sales costs primarily consist of salaries, commissions, benefits, incentive compensation and stock-based compensation. Costs also include expenses for travel and other promotional and sales-related activities.®

Our marketing costs primarily consist of salaries, benefits, incentive compensation and stock-based compensation. They also include expenses for travel, trade shows, and other promotional and marketing activities, including direct and online marketing. Our marketing expenses have been increasing as we continued to scale up our direct operations across all geographic segments. However, due to business disruption and restrictions imposed by the governments in many countries in which we operate, we have experienced significant decline in our selling and marketing expenses. As the business environment improves, we expect selling and marketing expenses to increase, but at a rate slightly below our rate of revenue growth.

General and Administrative. iX SystemsOur general and procedure-based fees.administrative costs primarily consist of expenses associated with our executive, accounting and finance, legal, intellectual property and human resource departments. These expenses consist of personnel-related expenses (primarily salaries, benefits, incentive compensation and stock-based compensation) and allocated facilities costs, audit fees, legal fees, consultants, travel, insurance and bad debt expense. During the normal course of operations, we may incur bad debt expense on accounts receivable balances that are deemed to be uncollectible.

Research and Development. Our research and development costs primarily consist of personnel-related costs (primarily salaries, benefits, incentive compensation, and stock-based compensation), material costs, amortization of intangible assets, regulatory affairs, and clinical costs, and facilities costs in our Yokneam, Israel research center. Our ongoing research and development activities are primarily focused on improving and enhancing our current technologies, products, and services, and on expanding our current product offering with the introduction of new products and expanded indications.

We expense all research and development costs in the periods in which they are incurred. We expect our research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in research, clinical studies, regulatory affairs, and development activities, but to decline as a percentage of revenue as our revenue increases over time.

Finance Expenses

Finance expenses consists of interest income, interest expense and other banking charges. Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits. We expect interest income to vary depending on our average investment balances and market interest rates during each reporting period. Interest expense consists of interest on long-term debt and other borrowings. The interest rate on our long-term debt is fixed at 12% as of June 30, 2020, and 9% as of December 31, 2019.

Foreign Exchange Loss (Income)

Foreign currency exchange loss (income) changes reflect foreign exchange gains or losses related to the change in value of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.


Income Taxes Expense (Benefit)

We estimate our current and deferred tax liabilities based on current tax laws in the statutory jurisdictions in which we operate. These estimates include judgments about liabilities resulting from temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes. Our most significant temporary difference results from our subscription business. In certain jurisdictions, only the payments invoiced in the current period are subject to tax, but for accounting purposes, the discounted value of the total subscription contract is reported and tax affected. This results in a deferred tax credit which is settled in the future period when the monthly installment payment is issued and settled with the customer. Since our inception, we have not recorded any tax benefits for the net operating losses we have incurred in each year or for the research and development tax credits we generated in the United States. We believe, based upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that all of our net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits will not be realized.

Income tax expense is recognized based on the actual income or loss incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Due to the uncertainties as a result of COVID-19, we were unable to determine an annualized effective tax rate and calculate the income tax expense (benefit) in accordance with such method. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate due to the recognition of previously unrecognized carried forward tax losses.

Non-Controlling Interests

In many countries where we have direct operations, we have minority shareholders. For accounting purposes, these minority partners are referred to as non-controlling interests, and we record the non-controlling interests’ share of earnings in our subsidiaries as a separate balance within stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

Restatement of Comparative Amounts

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and six months ended June 30, 2019, we previously classified the issuance of common stock and preferred stock as a credit to common stock. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, amounts issued in excess of par value are required to be accounted for in additional paid in capital (APIC). The error is a reclassification from common stock into APIC and has an immaterial impact on the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and consolidated balance sheets. Items previously reported have been reclassified to conform to U.S. GAAP and the reclassification did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of cash flows and net loss per share calculations.

Revenue from systems for the threeProducts other include ARTAS procedure kits, Venus Concept’s Venus Skin and nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased as compared to the same periods in 2018 due to a decrease in the number of ARTAS® Systems sold. We anticipate U.S.hair products, and Europe revenue from systems sold going forward to be primarily from ARTAS iX Systems, while revenue from systems sold outside of these two regions to be primarily from the existing ARTAS Systems until the time, if and when, we receive regulatory approval for the ARTAS® iX System.other consumables.

(2)

Services include Revenue from procedure-based fees for the threeVeroGrafters technician services, 2two5 ad agency services and nine months end September 30, 2019, decreased as compared to the same periods in 2018. Revenue from procedure-based fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, decreased at least in part due to the timing of purchases, kits purchased by customers and when these procedure kits are consumed, resulting in fewer procedures performed. Additionally, the trend of the procedure utilization in the third quarter of 2019 was significantly lower than past periods which may have attributed to the fewer procedures purchased by customers.extended warranty sales.

Service-related fees did not change significantly

Total revenue decreased by $10.8 million, or 38.9%, to $17.0 million for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018.

Historically, the majority of our revenue and our revenue growth has been generated through system sales. While we would expect our procedure-based fees to increase as our installed base of ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems grow worldwide, the total number of procedures has not followed the increase in our installed base of systems sold. For example, our procedure-based revenue decreased2020 from $27.8 million for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, as compared to the same periods2019. The decrease in 2018, whereas our installed base has grown from 2018 to 2019. While procedure-based revenue haswas a result of decreased from a year-to-date perspective, more than our revenue from system sales on a combined basis, during the aforementioned periods, we believe that revenue from procedure-based fees may not grow proportionally as compared to the increase in our installed base and that it could vary from quarter-to-quarter due to a number of factors, including:

physician uptake causing a slow ramp-up to utilizing the ARTAS® or ARTAS® iX Systems, which is particularly evident with physicians who are new to hair restoration procedures or physicians who do not operate a solely hair restoration focused practice who are commonly the profile we are targeting;

capacity limitations with the current installed base of ARTAS® or ARTAS® iX Systems, which can result in procedure-based fees not growing as quickly as system sales, as high performing practitioners are limited in the number of procedures that can be performed in any given period;

limited or no utilization of the ARTAS® or ARTAS® iX Systems after purchase because of a change in physician preference or practice; and

the concentration of ARTAS procedures being performed on a limited number of ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems leading to volatility between periods if particular high-volume practitioners perform a smaller number of procedures in a given period.

In order to increase the number of procedures performed per ARTAS® or ARTAS® iX System, and in turn increase revenue from procedure-based fees, we have, in connection with the leadership and sales and marketing changes, initiated programs to assist certain physicians in marketing efforts, patient education and practice optimization to increase utilization of the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems. If these efforts are successful, we anticipate that the growth in procedure-based fees will increase and that quarterly fluctuations in the number of total procedures performed will be reduced.

Revenue from Markets Outside the U.S.

Since launching the ARTAS® System in 2011, we have obtained clearance to sell our products in over 60 countries. In June 2012, we obtained our CE mark to sell our product into the European Economic Area, or EEA. We have sold into 37 countries and sell directly into the U.S., Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Spain, Poland, Benelux, Scandinavia, Portugal, the Netherlands and through distributors in the other countries. We obtained clearance to sell in China in September 2016. However, we have not obtained any regulatory approvals or clearances outside of the U.S. and Europe for our implantation functionality.

Revenue from markets outside of the U.S accounted for 43% of our total revenue in the first nine monthsUnited States of 2019, compared to 43% from the same period$2.8 million and decreased revenue in 2018. Although we will continue to invest resources outsideinternational markets of the U.S., we anticipate that the strategic shift$8.0 million. The decrease in our sales strategy towards the U.S. market will impact the revenue mix between the U.S. and non-U.S. markets. In particular, in connection with our newly launched ARTAS® iX System, which is only cleared for sale in the U.S., our marketing efforts are highly focused on the U.S.


Internationally,United States and international markets was driven by COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions and shelter-in-place orders imposed by federal, state, and local governments in most countries and markets in which we operate. In both the ARTAS®United States and ARTAS® iX System unit sales and procedure-based fees decreased in the first nine months of 2019 relative to the first nine months of 2018. We believe the decline in system sales in the Asia Pacific region was due in part to potential customers delaying their purchase until the ARTAS® iX System is approved or cleared for use in their region.

While we believe our ARTAS® iX System, which incorporates a robotic implantation functionality, could have a positive effect on system sales in the U.S. and Europe, as the robotic implantation functionality is approved in the U.S.international markets, these business closures and the Company received the CE Mark approval for Europe in August 2019. We believe that potential non-U.S. customers of the ARTAS® iX System may increase purchases of ARTAS® systems since the implantation functionality is available in their market.resultant uncertainty negatively impacted our ability to access and sell into our customary channels. Where accessibility was possible, selling efforts were hampered by target customer concerns over economic uncertainty.

We expect our operating expenses to increase becausesold an aggregate of increased sales and marketing activity to promote penetration in markets outside the U.S. where we already sell the ARTAS® System and geographic expansion into new markets.

Factors Affecting Comparability

We anticipate that our quarterly results of operations may fluctuate for the foreseeable future due to several factors, including the performance of our direct sales force and international distributors, the launch of our implantation functionality and the ARTAS® iX System, and unanticipated interruptions and expenses related to our operations and the proposed merger with Venus. In addition, due to the long lead time to finalize ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX-Systems unit sales with our physician customers, and the significant impact each unit sale has on a period’s revenue due to the price of each unit, our quarterly revenue may not be comparable from one period to another.

Furthermore, our industry is characterized by seasonally lower demand during the third calendar quarter of the year, when both physicians and prospective patients take summer vacations. A detailed discussion of these and other factors that impact our business is provided in the “Risk Factors” section in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Revenue. Revenue decreased 31% and 24% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The change in revenue was primarily due to lower sales volume of our system and procedure sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. We sold seven283 systems in the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, as2020 compared to 11 systems in the same period in 2018. We believe that lower system sales were the result of headcount transition and or customers holding off purchases due to the merger. Procedures-based fees also declined649 in the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2019. The percentage of systems revenue derived from our subscription model was approximately 52% in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 68% in the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Other product revenue increased by $0.2 million, or 10.2%, to $1.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $1.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was driven by sales of ARTAS procedure kits partially offset by COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions and shelter-in-place orders imposed by federal, state, and local governments.

Services revenue decreased by $0.8 million, or 44.7%, to $1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $1.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was driven by COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions and shelter-in-place orders imposed by federal, state, and local governments and corresponding decline in VeroGrafters™ technician services offset by additional warranty revenue on ARTAS® systems.


Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

Cost of goods sold decreased by $2.6 million, or 34.1%, to $5.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, from $7.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. Gross profit decreased by $8.2 million, or 40.7%, to $11.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $20.2 million in the same periodthree months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in 2018gross profit is primarily due to the timinglower revenues due to COVID-19 related disruptions, lockdown restrictions and shelter-in-place orders imposed by federal and local governments in countries and markets we operate. Gross margin was 70.0% of ARTAS procedures being purchased


in prior periods by customers (and consumed themrevenue in the current period) which resulted in fewer procedures purchasedthree months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 72.2% of revenue in the third quarterthree months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in gross profit percentage is primarily due to sales of ARTAS® systems in 2020, which were sold at lower margins than our other systems, and inventory fair value adjustments recognized on the business combination with Venus Concept Ltd. expensed through cost of goods sold during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by 55.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. Additionally, the trendThis decrease was attributable primarily to reduced selling commissions as a result of the procedure utilizationlower sales in the second quarter of 2019 was significantly2020, lower than past periods which may have attributedsalaries and other compensation expenses as a result of our restructuring program and reduced pay for some employees as a result of our efforts to reduce the fewer procedures purchasedimpact of COVID-19. Selling and marketing expenses were also affected by customers.

Gross Margin. Gross margin typically fluctuates with product mix, selling prices, materialreduced travel costs and revenue level. Gross margin forlower marketing costs as a result of reduced business activities caused by COVID-19. As a percentage of total revenues, our selling and marketing expenses decreased by 10.1%, from 36.8% in the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 decreased by fourteen percentage points compared to 26.7% in the same period in 2018, while gross margin for the ninethree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 decreased by one percentage point compared to2020. As the same period in 2018. Lower gross margin for the first nine months of 2019 was primarily driven by inventory reserve associated with certain excess materials, while gross margin was significantly down in third quarter of 2019 due to lower averagebusiness environment improves, we expect selling price, higher overhead absorption and inventory reserve associated with certain excess materials.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 10% and 3%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to lower variable compensation in connection with fewer system sales in the third quarterincrease, but at a rate slightly below our rate of 2019.revenue growth.

Research and Development. Research and development expense decreased 20% and 27%, for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to lower outside services and consulting costs associated with the development of the ARTAS® iX System, which was commercially launched in July 2018.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by 26.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, reflecting costs related to increased legal, audit and regulatory expenses primarily related to public company reporting obligations, an increase in bad debt expense primarily as a result of COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions and shelter-in-place orders, and additional amortization of intangible assets recognized on the business combination with Venus Concept Ltd. As a percentage of total revenues, our general and administrative expenses increased by 45.5%, from 42.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2019, to 88.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to expenses related to public company reporting obligations and due to lower revenue in the second quarter of 2020.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased 2%by 18.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. As a percentage of total revenues, our research and 7%development expenses increased by 2.3%, from 6.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2019, to 9.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in the research and development expense is attributable to reduced discretionary spending as a result of COVID-19.

Foreign exchange income. We had a foreign exchange gain of $1.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and foreign exchange gain of $0.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. Changes in foreign exchange in the three months ended June 30, 2020 are driven mainly by the effect of foreign exchange effect on accounts receivable balances denominated in currencies other than the US dollar. We do not currently hedge against foreign currency risk.

Finance Expenses. Finance expenses increased by $0.2 million, from $2.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019, to $2.4 million in the three month ended June 30, 2020, mostly due to increase in the annual interest rate from 9.00% to 12.00% during the PIK Period under the Madryn Credit Agreement. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Income Taxes Benefit. We had income taxes benefit of $0.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 comparing to $0.1 million income tax expense in the three months ended June 30, 2019. The tax provision is driven by profitable sales and the actual effective tax rates where the sale took place. In the second quarter of 2020, we effectively reversed some tax provision that was booked in the first quarter of 2020 due to reduced profitable sales in the second quarter of 2020 as a result of COVID-19.

Total revenue decreased by $20.9 million, or 39.9%, to $31.5 million for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020 from $52.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in revenue was a result of decreased revenue in the United States of $6.7 million and decreased revenue in international markets of $14.2 million. The decrease in revenue in the United States was driven by COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions and shelter-in-place orders imposed by federal and state governments. The decrease in revenue in international markets is largely due to disruptions in supply chain caused by restrictions imposed by the Chinese government due to the COVID-19 pandemic in January and February of 2020 followed by lockdown restrictions and shelter-in-place orders imposed subsequently by federal and local governments in other countries and markets in which we operate. In both the United States and international markets, these business closures and the resultant uncertainty negatively impacted our ability to access and sell into our customary channels. Where accessibility was possible, selling efforts were hampered by target customer concerns over economic uncertainty.

We sold an aggregate of 520 systems in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 1,191 in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The percentage of systems revenue derived from our subscription model was approximately 58% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 70% in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Other product revenue increased by $1.6 million, or 52.7%, to $4.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $3.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was driven by sales of ARTAS procedure kits partially offset by COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions and shelter-in-place orders imposed by federal, state, and local governments.

Services revenue decreased by $0.5 million, or 17.2%, to $2.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $3.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was driven by COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions and shelter-in-place orders imposed by federal, state, and local governments and corresponding decline in VeroGrafters™ technician services offset by additional warranty revenue on ARTAS® systems.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

Cost of goods sold decreased by $4.0 million, or 28.0%, to $10.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, from $14.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. Gross profit decreased by $16.9 million, or 44.4%, to $21.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $38.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to lower revenues due to COVID-19 related disruptions, lockdown restrictions and shelter-in-place orders imposed by federal and local governments. Gross margin was 67.2% of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 72.8% of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in gross profit percentage is primarily due to sales of ARTAS® systems in 2020, which were sold at lower margins than our other systems, and inventory fair value adjustments recognized on the business combination with Venus Concept Ltd. expensed through cost of goods sold during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by 33.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was attributable primarily to reduced selling commissions as a result of lower sales in the second quarter of 2020, lower salaries and other compensation expenses as a result of our restructuring program and reduced pay for some employees as a result of our efforts to reduce the impact of COVID-19. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses was also affected by reduced travel costs and lower marketing costs as a result of reduced business activities caused by COVID-19. As a percentage of total revenues, our selling and marketing expenses increased by 4.0%, from 37.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2019 respectively,to 41.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2020. As the business environment improves, we expect selling and marketing expenses to increase, but at a rate slightly below our rate of revenue growth.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by 44.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, reflecting costs related to increased legal, audit and regulatory expenses primarily related to public company reporting obligations, an increase in bad debt expense primarily as a result of COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions and shelter-in-place orders, and additional amortization of intangible assets recognized on the business combination with Venus Concept Ltd. As a percentage of total revenues, our general and administrative expenses increased by 54.0%, from 38.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2019, to 92.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to expenses related to public company reporting obligations and due to lower revenues in the first half of 2020.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased by 5.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. As a percentage of total revenues, our research and development expenses increased by 5.7%, from 7.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2019, to 13.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in the research and development expense is attributable to the ARTAS iX™ System research and development program we acquired through the Merger in November of 2019.

Goodwill impairment. We considered a substantial decline in our equity value and worsening macroeconomic factors due to COVID-19 as triggering events that caused analysis of potential impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets as of March 30, 2020. The quantitative impairment analysis resulted in goodwill impairment of $27.5 million driven primarily by lower than expected actual sales, as well as lower projected sales and decreased profitability because of COVID-19. As a result, the entire balance of goodwill was written off as of March 30, 2020. The impairment loss was recognized in the first quarter of 2020. Based on the impairment analysis performed no further impairment was considered necessary as of June 30, 2020.

Foreign exchange loss. We had a foreign exchange loss of $3.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and foreign exchange loss of $13,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2019. Changes in foreign exchange in the six months ended June 30, 2020 are driven mainly by foreign exchange effect on accounts receivable balances denominated in currencies other than the US dollar with the larger impact for Mexico, Argentina and Columbia which currencies declined significantly more in the first six months of 2020 compared to the same periodsperiod in 2018. The decrease was primarily the result of reduced professional service costs, consisting of accounting, consulting, legal and other professional fees incurred in connection with our first year as a public company in 2018.

Merger related expenses. Merger expenses increased 100%, for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, due to the merger transaction between us and Venus as further described in the overview section of Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Interest expense. Interest expense increased 47% and 69% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increase in interest expense between the three-month periods was related to a higher average principal balance of our outstanding long-term-debt obligations as we refinanced our debt obligations with Solar in May 2018, which had a higher outstanding balance than the loan with our previous lender as well as additional lending from our related party convertible notes and unsecured subordinated promissory notes.

Other expense, Net. Other expense, net decrease was primarily due to (i) unamortized debt issuance and debt discounts written off by us and (ii) fees paid directly to Oxford and Solar in connection with the extinguishment of the Oxford loan and the entry into the new Solar loan in May 2018 as mentioned above.

Provision for income tax. Our effective tax rate is (0.10%) and (0.14%) for income tax for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, and we expect that our effective tax rate for the full year 2019 will be (0.17%). Based on available evidence, including cumulative losses since inception and expected future losses, we have determined that it is more likely than not that our U.S. federal, U.S. state and Korea deferred tax assets will not be realized and therefore a valuation allowance has been provided on the U.S. federal, U.S. state and Korea net deferred tax assets.

In general, if we experience a greater than 50% aggregate change in ownership over a three-year period, utilization of our pre-change net operating loss, or NOL, and credit carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation under Sections 382 and 383 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, or the Code. Generally, U.S. states maintain similar laws or regulations as Sections 382 and 383 of the Code. The annual limitation generally is determined by multiplying the value of our stock at the time of such ownership change (subject to certain adjustments) by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate. Such limitations may result in expiration of a portion of the NOL or tax credit carryforwards before utilization.

We file tax returns for U.S. federal and state taxes along with tax returns in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Spain and South Korea. We are not currently subject to any income tax examinations. Since our inception, we have incurred losses from our U.S. operations, which generally allows all tax years to remain open.

We recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it becomes more likely than not, based upon the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination.2019. We do not expect any material changescurrently hedge against foreign currency risk.

Finance Expenses. Finance expenses increased by $0.8 million, from $3.8 million in the next 12six months in unrecognized tax benefits.


We recognize interest and/or penalties relatedended June 30, 2019, to uncertain tax positions. To the extent accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected$4.6 million in the period that such determinationsix month ended June 30, 2020, mostly due to increase in the annual interest rate from 9.00% to 12.00% during the PIK Period under the Madryn Credit Agreement. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Income Taxes Benefit. We had an income taxes benefit of $44 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $0.9 million income tax expense in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The tax provision is made. The interestdriven by profitable sales and penalties are recognized as other expensethe actual effective tax rates where the sale took place. In the first half of 2020, we had a combination of less profitable sales and notan increase in sales in lower rate tax expense. We currently have no interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.jurisdictions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, we have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations. Our net loss was $9.2

We had $14.0 million and $7.1$15.7 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $24.5 million and $20.7 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of September 30, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $217.7 million. As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents as of $8.9June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. We have funded our operations with cash generated from operating activities, through the sale of equity securities and through debt financing. We completed an equity financing during the quarter that generated $22.3 million of gross proceeds. See “— The 2020 Private Placement” above. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we repaid $3.9 million under our credit facility with City National Bank of Florida. We had total debt obligations of approximately $73.3 million as of June 30, 2020, including line of credit borrowings of $3.9 million and $16.1government assistance loans of $4.1 million, respectively.compared to total debt obligations of approximately $69.0 million at December 31, 2019, including line of credit borrowings of $7.8 million.

Our working capital requirements reflect the growth of our business over the last few years, in particular, the shift from a traditional sales model to a subscription model. Working capital is primarily impacted by growth in our subscription sales which also impacts accounts receivable. Our overall growth also requires higher inventory levels to meet demand and to accommodate the increased number of technology platforms offered. We had a split of subscription sales revenue to traditional sales revenue at a ratio of approximately 58:42 in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 70:30 in the six months ended June 30, 2019. We are directing more effort to securing traditional sales in order to improve cash flow. We expect inventory to continue to increase in the short term, but at a lower rate than the rate of revenue growth.


We also require modest funding for capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures relate primarily to our research and development facilities in Yokneam, Israel. In addition, our capital investments have included improvements and expansion of our subsidiaries’ operations to support our growth.

Madryn Credit Agreement

On October 11, 2016, Venus Concept Ltd. entered into a credit agreement as a guarantor with Madryn Health Partners, LP, as administrative agent, and certain of its affiliates as lenders (collectively, “Madryn”), as amended, (the “Madryn Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which Madryn agreed to make certain loans to certain of Venus Concept Ltd.’s subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Obligors”).

CNB Credit Facility

We have a revolving credit facility with CNB pursuant to which CNB agreed to provide a revolving credit facility to us and certain of our subsidiaries in the maximum principal amount of $10.0 million ($10.0 million as of June 30, 2019), to be used to finance working capital requirements (the “Credit Facility”). In April 2019, maximum principal amount under the SolarCredit Facility was increased from $7.5 million to $10.0 million. As of June 30, 2020, there was $3.9 million outstanding ($7.8 million as of December 31, 2019) under the Credit Facility, which bears interest at LIBOR rate plus 3.25%, which amounted to a weighted average of 4.06% (5.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2019).

The Credit Facility contains various covenants that limit our ability to engage in specified types of transactions. Subject to limited exceptions, these covenants limit our ability, without CNB’s consent, to, among other things, sell, lease, transfer, exclusively license or dispose of our assets, incur, create or permit to exist additional indebtedness, or liens, to make dividends and certain other restricted payments, and to make certain changes to its management and/or ownership structure. In addition, the Credit Facility contains certain covenants that require our subsidiary obligors to achieve certain minimum account balances, or a minimum debt service coverage ratio and a maximum total liability to tangible net worth ratio. If our subsidiary obligors fail to comply with these covenants, it will result in a default and require us and our subsidiary obligors to repay all outstanding principal amounts and accrued interest.

The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of certain of our subsidiaries requires us to maintain either a minimum cash balance in deposit accounts or a maximum total liability to tangible net worth ratio and a minimum debt service coverage ratio. An event of default under the Credit Facility would cause a default under the Madryn Credit Agreement as amended.described above.

On February 28, 2019,March 20, 2020, we raised $5.0 million throughentered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement as a borrower with CNB, as amended, pursuant to which CNB agreed to make certain loans and other financial accommodations to us. In connection with the issuanceCNB Credit Facility, we also entered into (i) a Second Amended and Restated Guaranty of NotesPayment and Performance with CNB dated as of March 20, 2020, (the “CNB Guaranty”), pursuant to Frederic Moll, M.D., one of our directors, and Interwest Partners IX, LP, one of our stockholders affiliated with Gil Kliman, M.D., one of our directors. The maturity date ofwhich we agreed to guaranty the Notes is August 28, 2020. The Notes bear interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate of eight percent (8.0%) per annum from the date of issuance. The Notes are unsecured and subordinate in priority to our existing obligations under the Solar Agreement.CNB Credit Facility and (ii) a Security Agreement with CNB dated as of March 20, 2020, (the “CNB Security Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to grant CNB a security interest, in substantially all of its assets, to secure the obligations under the CNB Credit Facility. Borrowings under the CNB Credit Facility are secured by substantially all our assets and the CNB Guaranty.

In the event of a default, if we and our subsidiary obligors are unable to repay all outstanding amounts, CNB may foreclose on the collateral granted to it to collateralize the indebtedness, which includes the enforcement of the CNB Guaranty, which will significantly affect our ability to operate its business.

As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all required covenants.


Equity Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park

On July 5, 2019,June 16, 2020, we raised $2.5entered into the Equity Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park, which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, we may sell to Lincoln Park up to $31.0 million throughof shares of our common stock pursuant to our shelf registration statement. The purchase price of shares of common stock related to a future sale will be based on the issuancethen prevailing market prices of such shares at the time of sales as described in the Equity Purchase Agreement. The aggregate number of shares that we can sell to Lincoln Park under the Equity Purchase Agreement may in no case exceed 7.8 million shares (subject to adjustment) of common stock (which is equal to approximately 19.99% of the Subordinated Noteshares of the common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Equity Purchase Agreement) (the “Exchange Cap”), unless (i) stockholder approval is obtained to issue shares above the Exchange Cap, in which case the Exchange Cap will no longer apply, or (ii) the average price of all applicable sales of common stock to Lincoln Park under the Equity Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $3.9755 per share (subject to adjustment) (which represents the minimum price, as defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), on the Nasdaq Global Market immediately preceding the signing of the Equity Purchase Agreement, such that the transactions contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement are exempt from the Exchange Cap limitation under applicable Nasdaq rules). Also, at no time may Lincoln Park (together with its affiliates) beneficially own more than 9.99% of our issued and outstanding common stock. Concurrently with entering into the Equity Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Lincoln Park (as defined above).

As of June 30, 2020, we issued and sold to Lincoln Park 1.0 million shares of our common stock, 0.2 million of which were issued to Lincoln Park as a commitment fee in connection with entering into the Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Commitment Shares”). The total value of the Commitment Shares of $0.6 million together with issuance costs of $0.1 million were recorded as deferred issuance costs in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. These costs will be amortized into condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity proportionally based on proceeds received during the period and the expected total proceeds to be raised over the term of the Equity Purchase Agreement. The net cash proceeds from shares issuance as of June 30, 2020 were $3.0 million. In July 2020, we sold additional 0.5 million shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park for $1.9 million.

Sales of shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park under the Equity Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and our determination as to the appropriate sources of funding for our operations. The proceeds we receive under the Equity Purchase Agreement will depend on the frequency and prices at which we sell shares to Lincoln Park. We expect that any proceeds we receive from such sales will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Government Assistance Programs

In April 2020, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Venus Concept USA Inc., a wholly owned subsidiaryDelaware corporation (“Venus USA”), received funding in the total amount of Venus,$4.1 million, in connection with two “Small Business Loans” under the federal Paycheck Protection Program provided in Section 7(a) of the Small Business Act of 1953, as amended by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, as amended from time to time (the “PPP”).

Pursuant to the terms of the U.S. Small Business Administration Note dated as of April 21, 2020, by us and in favor of CNB, we borrowed $1.7 million of original principal amount, which was executedfunded on June 25, 2019.April 29, 2020 (the “Venus Concept PPP Loan”). The Subordinated NoteVenus Concept PPP Loan bears interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate of eight percent (8%)1% per annum and matures in two years from the date of issuance, provideddisbursement of funds under the loan. Interest and principal payments under the Venus Concept PPP Loan will be deferred for a period of six months. Under certain circumstances, all or a portion of the Venus Concept PPP Loan may be forgiven, however, there can be no assurance that upon any portion of the Venus Concept PPP Loan will be forgiven and that we would not be required to repay the Venus Concept PPP Loan in full.

The Venus Concept PPP Loan contain certain covenants which, among other things, restrict our use of the proceeds of the PPP Loan to the payment of payroll costs, interest on mortgage obligations, rent obligations and utility expenses, require compliance with all other loans or other agreements with any our creditor, to the extent that a default under any loan or other agreement would materially affect our ability to repay its PPP Loan and limit our ability to make certain changes to our ownership structure.

Venus USA also entered into a U.S. Small Business Administration Note dated as of April 15, 2020 in favor of CNB pursuant to which Venus USA borrowed $2.4 million of original principal amount, which was funded on April 20, 2020 (the “Venus USA PPP Loan” and together with the Venus Concept PPP Loan, individually each a “PPP Loan” and collectively, the “PPP Loans”). The terms of the Venus USA PPP Loan are substantially similar to the terms of the Venus Concept PPP Loan.

Under the Madryn Credit Agreement each PPP Loan is permitted to be incurred by us and Venus Concept USA as long as certain conditions remain satisfied, including that all PPP Loans must be forgiven other than any amount which can fit under existing permitted debt baskets in the Madryn Credit Agreement. If we and/or Venus Concept USA defaults on the respective PPP Loan or if any of the conditions to the incurrence thereof under the Madryn Credit Agreement are not satisfied (i) events of default will occur under the Madryn Credit Agreement and the CNB Credit Facility and (ii) we and Venus Concept USA may be required to immediately repay their respective PPP Loan.


Also, the SBA has decided, in consultation with the Department of the Treasury, that it will review all loans in excess of $2.0 million following the lender’s submission of the borrower’s loan forgiveness application. To the extent that the SBA’s audit determines that Venus Concept USA was not entitled to the loan under the PPP, the loan may not be forgiven, an event of default pursuant towould occur under the Subordinated Note, the Subordinated Note shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate that is 4% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable under thereunder.

As of interest otherwise payable under thereunder. The Subordinated Note is unsecured and subordinate in priority to our existing obligations to Solar Capital, Ltd. under its amended loan and security agreement.

On August 20, 2019, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company raised $2.0 million through the issuance of one unsecured subordinated convertible promissory note to Frederic Moll, M.D., one of our directors. The maturity date of the Note is August 28, 2020. The Note bears interest on the unpaid principal amount at a rate of eight percent (8.0%) per annum from the date of issuance. The Note is unsecured and subordinate in priority to our existing obligations under the Solar Agreement.

On November 7, 2019, the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest was converted into shares of common stock immediately following the closing of the Merger. On November 7, 2019,June 30, 2020, we paid off and terminated our obligations under our Loan Agreement with Solar and the Lenders under the Loan Agreement.

However, months, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative impact on our business, and we willexpect the pandemic to continue to have a negative impact in the foreseeable future, the extent of which is uncertain and largely subject to whether the severity of the pandemic worsens, or duration lengthens. Given the COVID-19 pandemic, we may need additional capital to fund our future operations and to access the capital markets sooner than we intend to obtain such capital through the sale of additional shares of capital stock or related securities. To the extent that we raise additional capital through future equity financings, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing common stockholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities, these securities could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Further, there can be no assuranceplanned. We cannot assure you that we will be ablesuccessful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available at all, will be on terms that are acceptable to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital, we may be compelled to reduce the scope of our operations and planned capital or research and development expenditures or sell certain assets, including intellectual property assets.

Additional funds may not be available when we need them, on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available to us on a timely basis, we may be required to:

delay or curtail our efforts to develop system product enhancements or new products, including any clinical trials that may be required to market such enhancements;

delay or curtail our plans to increase and expand our sales and marketing efforts; or

delay or curtail our plans to enhance our customer support and marketing activities.

We are restricted by covenants in the Madryn Credit Agreement, the CNB Credit Facility, the PPP Loans and the Venus Concept UK Loan. These covenants restrict, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, which may limit our ability to obtain additional debt financing. In addition, the Madryn Credit Agreement contains certain minimum liquidity and minimum revenue covenants, which, if we fail to maintain or achieve, will result in a default under the agreement and the requirement for us to repay all outstanding principal amounts and accrued interest repay all amounts outstanding. In the event that the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic disruptions it has caused continue for an extended period of time, we cannot assure that we will remain in compliance with the financial covenants in our credit facilities. We also cannot assure you that our lenders would provide relief or that we could secure alternative financing on favorable terms orif at all. Our failure to raise additional capital would have a negative impact oncomply with the covenants contained in our credit facilities, including financial conditioncovenants, could result in an event of default, which could materially and adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan.results of operations and financial condition.


We have based our projections on the amount of operating capital requirementstime through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect and we may use all our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the ongoing commercialization of the ARTAS® System, we are unable to estimate the exact amount of our operating capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

the revenue we generate fromcost of growing our ongoing commercialization and sales and marketing activities;

the costs of manufacturing and maintaining enough inventories of our systems to meet anticipated demand and inventory write-offs related to obsolete products or components;

the costs of enhancing the existing functionality and development of new functionalities for our systems;

the costs of preparing, filing, prosecuting, defending, and enforcing patent claims and other patent related costs, including litigation costs and the results of such litigation;

Represents our loan with Solar as well as our Related Party Convertible Promissory Notes and Unsecured Subordinated Promissory Notes and our anticipated repayment schedule for the loans. Pursuant to our loan agreement with Solar, the loan will mature in May 2022. The loan with Solar accrues interest at prime plus 7.95% per annum. The outstanding principal balance on the Solar loan was $21.3 million as of September 30, 2019, which includes a final payment of $1.3 million to Solar on the maturity of the loan. The Related Party Convertible Promissory Notes accrue interest at 8.0% per annum. The outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest matures on August 28, 2020, unless converted into common stock of the Company prior to maturity. The Unsecured Subordinated Promissory Notes accrue interest at 8% per annum. The outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest matures on November 30, 2019.

In addition to the contractual obligations listed in the table above, in March 2018, we received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance to expand the ARTAS® System technology to include an implantation functionality. Based on manufacturing changes associated with the ARTAS® System, we determined that certain components procured or expected to be procured by Evolve Manufacturing Technologies, Inc., our single third-party manufacturer, who assemble the ARTAS® Systems, will be in excess of expected demand or usage. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a charge related to other excess purchase commitments from another vendor based on cost reduction changes in 2019. As a result, we recorded a loss contingency accrual of $0.5 million and included in “Other accrued liabilities” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently engage in off-balance sheet financing arrangements. In addition, we do not have any interest in entities referred to as variable interest entities, which includes special purpose entities and other structure finance entities.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have beenare prepared in accordance with U.S.U.S GAAP. PreparationThe preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires managementus to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. These estimates form the basis for judgments we make about the carrying values of our assets and estimates. Some accounting policies have a significant impactliabilities, which are not readily apparent from other sources. We base our estimates and judgments on amounts reported inhistorical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these financial statements. A summary ofestimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies and a description of accounting policies that are considered critical may be foundmore fully described in Note 2 to our 2018 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019. We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with stock-based compensation, goodwill impairment, allowance for doubtful accounts, revenue recognition, accrual for severance and income taxes have the most significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements, and therefore, consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Revenue Recognition

We generate revenue from (1) sales of systems through our subscription model, traditional system sales to customers and distributors, (2) other product revenues from the sale of ARTAS procedure kits, marketing supplies and kits, consumables and Venus Concept’s skincare and hair products and (3) service revenue from the sale of our VeroGrafters™ technician services, our 2two5 internal advertising agency and our extended warranty service contracts provided to existing customers.

The Company recognizes revenues on other products and services in accordance with ASC 606. Revenue is recognized based on the following five steps: (1) identification of the contract(s) with the customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the Notescontract; (3) determine the transaction price; and (4) allocate the transaction price to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 1)separate performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

We record our revenue net of sales tax and shipping and handling costs.

Long-term receivables

Long-term receivables relate to our subscription contract revenue or contracts which stipulate payment terms which exceed one year. They are comprised of the unpaid principal balance, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. These receivables have been discounted based on the implicit interest rate in the subscription lease which ranged between 8% to 9% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively. Unearned interest revenue represents the interest only portion of the respective subscription payments and will be recognized in income over the respective payment term as it is earned.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the collectability of customer accounts and the Critical Accounting Policiesaging of the related invoices and Estimates sectionrepresents our best estimate of probable credit losses in Management’s Discussionits existing trade accounts receivable. We regularly review the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the account receivable balances, and Analysiscurrent economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay.

Warranty accrual

We generally offer warranties for all our systems against defects for up to three years. The warranty period begins upon shipment and we record a liability for accrued warranty costs at the time of sale of a system, which consists of the remaining warranty on systems sold based on historical warranty costs and management’s estimates. We periodically assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liabilities and adjust the amounts thereof as necessary. We exercise judgment in estimating expected system warranty costs. If actual system failure rates, freight, material, technical support and labor costs differ from our estimates, we will be required to revise our estimated warranty liability. To date, our warranty reserve has been sufficient to satisfy warranty claims paid.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation costs in accordance with the accounting standards for stock-based compensation, which require that all stock-based payments to employees be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations based on their fair values.


The fair value of stock options on the grant date is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the single-option approach. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, including the option's expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock, to determine the fair value of award. We recognize the expense associated with options using a single-award approach over the requisite service period.

Financial Conditionstatements in U.S. dollars

We believe that the U.S. dollar is the currency in the primary economic environment in which we operate. The U.S. dollar is the most significant currency in which our revenues are generated, and Resultsour costs are incurred. In addition, our debt and equity financings are generally based in U.S. dollars. Therefore, our functional currency, and that of Operations. Except forour subsidiaries, is the changeU.S. dollar.

Transactions and balances originally denominated in our revenue accounting policy,U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Non-dollar transactions and balances are re-measured into U.S. dollars in accordance with the principles set forth in ASC 830-10 “Foreign Currency Translation”. All exchange gains and losses from re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items resulting from transactions in non-U.S. dollar currencies are recorded as discussedforeign exchange loss (income) in Note 2, there have been no changes in these significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.consolidated statement of operations as they arise.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued aftersubsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for recently adopted accounting pronouncements and recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVEQUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We

As a smaller reporting company, we are exposednot required to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily relate to interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations.provide disclosure for this Item.

Interest Rate Risk

Our cash and cash equivalents are held in cash deposits and money market funds. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, we do not believe that we have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio because of changes in interest rates. Declines in interest rates, however, would reduce our future interest income.

We are exposed to interest rate risk related to our debt obligations which are subject to variable interest rates. As of September 30, 2019, a 100-basis point increase in interest rates on our debt subject to variable interest rate fluctuations would increase our interest expense $0.2 million annually.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our sales contracts are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars and, therefore, substantially all of our revenue is not subject to foreign currency risk. However, a strengthening of the U.S. Dollar could increase the real cost of our products to our customers outside of the U.S., which could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results. In addition, a portion of our operating expenses are incurred outside the U.S. and are denominated in foreign currencies and are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the British Pound Sterling, Euro, Hong Kong Dollar, and South Korean Won. Additionally, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may cause us to recognize transaction gains and losses in our statement of operations. A 10% increase or decrease in current exchange rates would not have a material effect on our financial results. To date, foreign currency transaction gains and losses have not been material to our consolidated financial statements, and we have not engaged in any foreign currency hedging transactions.

As of June 30, 2020, our management, withunder the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluatedperformed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (asas defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective(the “Exchange Act”), to provide reasonable assuranceensure that information we are required to disclosebe disclosed by the Company in the reports that we fileit files or submitsubmits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SECthe Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

Our Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer didconcluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not identify any changeseffective as of June 30, 2020, because of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, based on criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in connectionits 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of June 30, 2020, because of a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting, associated with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Actlease accounting process automation which was identified during the quarteraudit of our fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, that have materially affected,December 31, 2018, as described below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent limitation on the effectivenessa combination of internal control.

The effectiveness of any system ofdeficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, including ours,such that there is subject to inherent limitations, includinga reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the exercisecompany’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.


Limitations on Effectiveness of judgment in designing, implementing, operating,Controls and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, inProcedures

In designing and evaluating theour disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours,controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only provide reasonable not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition,Further, the design of disclosure controls and proceduresa control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and proceduresmust be considered relative to their costs. Moreover,Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of these limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequateineffective because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with theestablished policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Material Weakness not yet Remediated as of June 30, 2020

In connection with our preparation and the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we identified a material weakness related to lack of centralized procedures or a technology solution that would ensure appropriate lessor accounting processes and enable the accurate and timely preparation of financial statements. As of June 30, 2020, we have not yet implemented centralized procedures or a technology solution that would ensure appropriate lessor accounting processes and enable the accurate and timely preparation of consolidated financial statements. We intendplan to continueestablish adequate centralized procedures related to monitor and upgradelease accounting processes in the second half of 2020, which could involve either hiring additional personnel or implementing a technology solution. As a result, we concluded that the material weakness associated with lease accounting process existed as of June 30, 2020, as noted above.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our plans for remediating the material weakness related to lease accounting process automation would constitute a change in our internal control over financial reporting prospectively, when such controls as necessaryare effectively implemented. Other than the continuation of the implementation of measures described above, there were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or appropriate forare reasonably likely to materially affect, our business but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

Two of these complaints, Wong v. Restoration Robotics, Inc., et al., No. 18CIV02609, and Li v. Restoration Robotics, Inc., et al., No. 19CIV08173 (together, the “State Actions”), were filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo, (the “Superior Court”), captioned Wong v.

Davila. The Wong and Guerrini complaints name us as defendants, and certain of our current and former executive officers and directors, certain of our venture capital investors and the underwriters in our IPO. The Yzeiraj complaint names us as defendants and certain of our current and former executive officers and directors. The Wong complaint asserts claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act. The Guerrini and Yzeiraj complaints assert claims under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act. The complaints all allege, among other things, that our Registration Statement filed with the SEC on September 1, 2017 and the Prospectus filed with the SEC on October 13, 2017 in connection with our IPO were inaccurate and misleading, contained untrue statements of material facts, omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading and omitted to state material facts required to be stated therein. The complaints seek unspecified monetary damages, other equitable relief and attorneys’ fees and costs.

In addition, on June 11, 2019, a putative shareholder class action complaint was filed in Superior Court of the State Actions, we, along with the other defendants, successfully demurred to the initial Wong complaint for failure to state a claim, and secured a stay of California, County of San Mateo, captioned Li v. Restoration Robotics, Inc., et al., No. 19CIV08173. The Li complaint asserts claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act and isboth cases based on the same setforum selection clause contained in our Amended and Restated Certificate of factsIncorporation, which designates the federal district courts as the Wong complaint.exclusive forums for claims arising under the Securities Act. However, on December 19, 2018, the Delaware Court of Chancery in Sciabacucchi v. Salzberg held that exclusive federal forum provisions are invalid under Delaware law. Under this ruling, the San Mateo Superior Court lifted its stay of State Actions on December 10, 2019. On January 17, 2020, Plaintiffs in the State Actions filed a consolidated amended complaint for violations of federal securities laws, alleging again that, among other things, our Registration Statement filed with the SEC on September 1, 2017 and the Prospectus filed with the SEC on October 13, 2017 in connection with our IPO were inaccurate and misleading, contained untrue statements of material fact, omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading and omitted to state material facts required to be stated therein.

Salzberg and former executive officers and directors,held that exclusive federal forum provisions are valid under Delaware law. On March 30, 2020, the Company filed a renewed motion to dismiss the Wong complaint based on theits federal forum selection clause designating the federal district courts as the exclusive forum for claims arising under the Securities Act contained in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and which asked the court in the alternative to stay the Wong action. Also, on August 8, 2018, the venture capital investor and underwriters’ defendants in the Wong action filed demurrers to the Wong complaint, and we, along with certain of our current and former executive officers and directors, joined in the venture capital investor defendants’ demurrer.clause. A hearing on our motion to dismissdemurrer and the demurrers to the Wong complaint was held on October 24, 2018. On October 25, 2018, the Court ordered the defendants’ demurrers to the complaint sustained with leave to amend and granted an extension of time for plaintiff to serve a First Amended Complaint until further order of the Court. On January 31, 2019, the Court stayed the case and stayed any decision on the Company’s motion to dismiss on forum selection grounds pending resolution of an appeal of Sciabacucchi v.

In addition to the State and Federal Actions, on July 11, 2019, a verified shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Mason v. Rhodes, No. 5:19-cv-03997-NC. The complaint alleges that certain of our current and former executive officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties, have been unjustly enriched and violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, in connection with our IPO and our 2018 proxy statement.

Venus Concept China Matter

Our Chinese subsidiary, or Venus Concept China, imports and sells registered medical devices and unregistered non-medical devices in the PRC. One of its unregistered products has been the subject of inquiries from two district level branches of the SAMR, Xuhui MSA and Huangpu MSA, as to whether the product was properly sold as a non-medical device. In January 2019, Venus Concept China had applied to register a version of this non-medical device as a medical device with the National Medical Products Administration of PRC, or NMPA. On June 12, 2019, Venus Concept China was informed that Xuhui MSA had opened an administrative investigation case related to whether the device is an unregistered medical device, as a result of a complaint that Xuhui MSA received from a former distributor of Venus Concept China. Huangpu MSA notified Venus Concept China that it would be suspending its separate investigation against Venus Concept China, pending the results of the Xuhui MSA investigation. We and Venus Concept China have voluntarily stopped sales in China of this product. On December 11, 2019, Xuhui MSA informed Venus Concept China that a determination had been made by the Shanghai Medical Products Administration that Versa’s IPL function should be administered as a Class II medical device. Xuhui MSA also suggested that Venus Concept China consider a voluntary recall of all Versa units sold in China. In late January 2020, Venus Concept China received a copy of the Shanghai Medical Products Administration’s determination that because of the intended uses for Versa’s IPL function comprise medical treatment functions such as “treatment of benign pigmented epidermis and skin lesions,” Versa’s IPL function should be administered as a Class II medical device. Although the revenue generated from the product that is the subject of the investigation did not represent a material amount of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, monetary penalties nonetheless could be material.

In April 2020, Venus Concept China received a determination from NMPA on its application for registering Versa’s IPL function as a medical device. NMPA has approved the registration of one applicator HR 650 for hair removal as a Class II medical device out of the four IPL applicators for which Venus Concept China had originally applied. The date of registration is April 15, 2020. Venus Concept China also submitted an explanation letter and a draft Corrective & Preventive Action Report plan to Xuhui MSA during a meeting with the local authority on April 23, 2020. However, on April 29, 2020, Xuhui MSA informed Venus Concept China that its administrative investigation case has been transferred to Xuhui Branch of Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau (“Xuhui PSB”) for further handling. On May 6, 2020, the economic crime investigation department of Xuhui PSB confirmed to Venus Concept China’s local PRC counsel that they would review and decide whether or not to file formally a criminal investigation case against Venus Concept China and any relevant individuals allegedly responsible for any alleged criminal offense(s). On May 29, 2020, Venus Concept China was informed by Xuhui MSA of Xuhui PSB’s decision not to file a criminal investigation case and was shown a written Notice of non-filing of a criminal case issued by Xuhui PSB. On the same day, Xuhui MSA informed Venus Concept China that it would reopen and resume its administrative investigation case against Venus Concept China, which proceedings are currently ongoing.

We and Venus Concept China are cooperating with the relevant authorities in these claims.matters; however, we cannot predict the outcome of these matters.

Further, we may from time to time continue to be involved in various legal proceedings of a character normally incident to the ordinary course of our business, which we do not deem to be material to our business and results of operations.

On November 7, 2019, we completedcredit risk of our merger transaction with Venus and Merger Sub. Seecustomers over the Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed with the SEC on November 7, 2019 for additional information. The risk factors set forth below relate to our business immediately following the consummationlife of the Merger.subscription agreement. In the event that our customers fail to make the monthly payments under their subscription agreements, our financial results may be adversely affected.

For additional informationsix months ended June 30, 2020 and a summary2019, approximately 58% and 70% respectively, and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, approximately 67% and 75%, respectively, of our system revenues were derived from our subscription-based model. Although the material risk associated with the Merger, the combined companies and Venus Concepts’ARTAS® System will not be available under our subscription-based model, we expect that our subscription-based business please see the “Risk Factors” section contained in our Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended, filed with the SEC on September 9, 2019.

Risks Relatedmodel to Our Business

We have limited commercial history and we have incurred significant losses since our inception. We anticipate that we will continue to incur lossesrepresent the majority of our revenue for the foreseeable future, which, togetherfuture. We collect an up-front fee, combined with our limited operating history, makes it difficulta monthly payment schedule typically over a period of 36 months, with approximately 40% of total contract payments collected in the first year. For accounting purposes, these arrangements are considered to assess our future viability.

We have a limited commercial history and have focused primarily on research and development, product design and engineering, establishing supply and manufacturing relationships, seeking regulatory clearances and approvalsbe sales-type finance leases, where the present value of all cash flows to marketbe received under the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX System, and selling and marketing. We have incurred losses in each year since our inception in 2002. Our net losses were approximately $24.5 million forsubscription agreement is recognized as revenue upon shipment of the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $28.7 million forsystem to the year ended December 31, 2018.customer. As part of September 30, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $217.7 million. We will continue to incur significant expenses for the foreseeable future as we expand our sales and marketing research and development, and clinical and regulatory activities. We may never generate enough revenue to achieve or sustain profitability. Even ifeffort, we do achieve profitability,not require our customers to undergo a credit check or register a lien or security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code or similar legislation, as is typically required with a third-party equipment leasing financing. Instead, to ensure that each monthly product payment is made on time and that the customer’s systems are serviced in accordance with the terms of the warranty, every product requires a monthly activation code, which we provide to the customer upon receiving each monthly payment. If a customer does not timely pay a monthly installment, the customer will not receive an activation code and will be unable to use the system for any procedures. This process does not protect us from the economic impact of a customer’s failure to make its monthly payments and as an unsecured creditor, we are subject to a greater risk in the event of a customer default. We cannot provide any assurance that the financial position of customers purchasing products and services under a subscription agreement will not change adversely before we receive all of the monthly installment payments due under the contract. As a result of the global economic turmoil that has resulted from COVID-19, many of our customers are experiencing difficulty in making timely payments or payments at all during this pandemic under their subscription agreements which has resulted in higher than anticipated bad debt expense over the course of the 2020 fiscal year. In our largest subscription markets we collected approximately 60% of our billings in March 2020, 30% of our billings in April 2020, 35% in May 2020 and 60% in June 2020. We cannot assure you that our customers will resume payments under their agreements or that we will not experience customer defaults even after local economies reopen for business. In the event that there is a default by any of the customers to whom we have sold systems under the subscription-based model, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability. Furthermore, because of our limited operating history and because the market for aesthetic products is rapidly evolving, we have limited insight into the trends or competitive products that may emerge and affect our business. Before investing, you should consider an investmentrecognize bad debt expenses in our common stock considering the risks, uncertainties,general and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage medical technology companies in rapidly evolving markets such as ours. We may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks, and the failure to adequately do soadministrative expenses. If this bad debt expense is material, it could causenegatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition to suffer.operating cash flows.

We may not be able to correctly estimate or control our future operating expenses, which could lead to cash shortfalls.

Our operating expenses may fluctuate significantly in the future because of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. These factors include:

thecostof growing our ongoing commercializationand salesand marketingactivities;

thecostsof manufacturingand maintainingenoughinventoriesof our productsto meetanticipated demand and inventory write-offs related to obsolete products or components;

thecostsof enhancingtheexistingfunctionalityand developmentof new functionalitiesforthe ARTAS®and ARTAS® iX System;


thecostsof preparing,filing,prosecuting,defending,and enforcingpatentclaimsand otherpatent relatedcosts,includinglitigationcostsand theresultsof such litigation;

the variability of ARTAS procedures being performed between periods if particular high-volume practitioners perform a smaller number of procedures in each period as a result of the concentration of procedures performed by certain practitioners;

any productliabilityor otherlawsuitsand thecostsassociatedwith defending themor theresultsof such lawsuits;

thecostsassociatedwith conductingbusinessand maintainingsubsidiariesin foreignjurisdictions;

thecoststo attractand retainpersonnelwith theskillsrequiredforeffectiveoperations;and

thecostsassociatedwith beinga publiccompany.

Our budgeted expense levels are based in part on our expectations concerning future revenue from ARTAS® Systems sales, servicing and procedure-based fees. We may be unable to reduce our expenditures in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfalls in revenue. Accordingly, a significant shortfall in market acceptance or demand for the ARTAS® Systems and procedures could have an immediate and material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.

It is difficult to forecast our future performance and our financial results may fluctuate unpredictably.

Our limited commercial history and the rapid evolution of the markets for medical technologies and aesthetic products make it difficult for us to predict our future performance. Several factors, many of which are outside of our control, may contribute to fluctuations in our financial results, such as:

physiciandemandfortheARTAS®and ARTAS® iX Systemsand procedureusagemayvaryfromquarterto quarter;

customers in jurisdictions where the ARTAS® iX System is not approved delaying their purchase, and not purchasing an ARTAS® System, until the ARTAS® iX System is approved or cleared for use in their market;

The long salescycle, low unit volumeforsalesof the ARTAS®System and ARTAS® iX Systemand the historicseasonalityof our industry,each maycontributeto substantialfluctuationsin our operatingresultsand stockpriceand makeit difficultto compareour resultsof operationsto priorperiodsand predictfuturefinancialresults.

We sell a relatively small number of ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems at a relatively high price, with each sale of an ARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System typically involving a significant amount of time. Because of the relatively small number of ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems we expect to sell in any period, each sale of a system could represent a significant percentage of our revenue for a period. Furthermore, due to the significant amount of time it can take to finalize the sale of a system, it is likely that a sale could be recognized in a subsequent period which could have a material effect on our results from quarter to quarter and increase the volatility of quarterly results. In addition, our industry is characterized by seasonally lower demand during the third quarter of the calendar year, generally when both physicians and prospective patients take summer vacation. As a result of these factors, future fluctuations in quarterly results could cause our revenue and cash flows to be below analyst and investor expectations, which could cause decline in our stock price. Due to future fluctuations in revenue and costs, as well as other potential fluctuations, you should not rely upon our operating results in any period as an indication of future performance. If we do not sell ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems as anticipated, our operating results will vary significantly from our expectations. In addition, selling the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems requires significant marketing effort and expenditure in advance of the receipt of revenue and our efforts may not result in a sale.

Our recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows have raised substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our consolidated financial statements as of, and for the year ended, December 31, 2018 that our recurring losses from operations and negativeoperating cash flows raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have had recurring net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations, and until we generate revenue at a level to support our cost structure, we expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses and net cash outflows. As of the filing dateJune 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of this Quarterly Report, we believe$135.5 million and $75.7 million, respectively. Our recurring losses from operations and negative operating cash flows raise substantial doubt about our current cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. Our ability to continue as a going concern, will require usmeaning that we may be unable to continue operations for the foreseeable future or realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. In order to continue our operations, we must achieve profitable operations and/or obtain additional financingequity or debt financing. However, given the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot anticipate the extent to which the current economic turmoil and financial market conditions, will continue to adversely impact our business and our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations.future operations and to access the capital markets sooner than we planned. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital, we may be compelled to reduce the scope of our operations and planned capital or research and development expenditures or sell certain assets, including intellectual property assets. The perception of our ability to continue as a going concern may make it more difficult for us to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations and could result in the loss of confidence by investors, suppliers and employees. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns have had an adverse effect our business, operating results or financial condition.

Global business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our business. In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread globally. To date, this global pandemic has resulted in extended shutdowns of businesses in North and South America, Europe and Asia Pacific and gradual re-openings of economies. Global health concerns, such as the coronavirus pandemic, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the third parties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and ultimate severity or duration of the coronavirus pandemic and related business and economic disruptions, but the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting economic and commercial shutdowns to date have materially and negatively impacted our ability to conduct business in the manner planned. Disruptions to our business include restrictions on the ability of our sales and marketing personnel and distributors to travel and sell our systems, disruptions of our global supply chain, disruptions in manufacturing, reduced demand and/or suspension of operations by our customers which has impacted their ability to make monthly subscription payments, and the deferral of aesthetic or hair restoration procedures. Our customers’ patients are also affected by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Elective aesthetic procedures are less of a priority than other items for those patients that have lost their jobs, are furloughed, have reduced work hours or have to allocate their cash to other priorities. We expect COVID-19 will continue to negatively affect customer demand throughout the second half of the year. While we expect continued recovery in many markets in the second half of the year, recoveries have been gradual and the impact of COVID-19 on our sales could still be significant, especially if there is a resurgence of the virus in major markets. We do not yet know the full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business, operating results, financial condition, or liquidity in the future will depend on future developments which are evolving and highly uncertain including the duration of the outbreak, the severity of resurgences of the virus, travel restrictions, business and workforce disruptions, the timing of and extent of reopening the economic regions in which we do business and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain and treat the disease. The outbreak of contagious diseases or the fear of such an outbreak could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect the demand for our systems. Any of these events could negatively impact our business, operating results or financial condition.

We will require substantial additional financing to achieve our goals, and a failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed on acceptable terms, or at all, could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development, commercialization and other operations or efforts.

Since our inception, we have invested a significant portion of our efforts and financial resources in research and development and sales and marketing activities. Research and development, clinical trials, product engineering, ongoing product upgrades and other enhancements such as software-updates for the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems and seeking regulatory clearances and approvals to market future products will require substantial funds to complete. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we had capital resources consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $8.9approximately $14.0 million. We believe that we will continue to expend substantial resources for the foreseeable future in connection with the ongoing commercializing of the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX System, increasingour systems, our sales and marketing efforts, and continuing research and development and product enhancements activities.

We

While we believe that the net proceeds from the 2020 Private Placement, the proceeds from sales of our common stock to Lincoln Park and the proceeds from the PPP Loans, the Venus Concept UK Loan and other government assistance programs, together with our existing cash and cash equivalents, and cash expected to be generatedthe anticipated savings from the sale of our productsMerger-related cost savings initiatives and our new restructuring program, will not be enough forenable us to fund our planned operationsoperating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. Therefore,12 months, the impact of COVID-19 on our business has been significant and we cannot predict the extent to which COVID-19 will needcontinue to adversely impact our business. Also, under the terms of our amended Madryn Agreement, we are required to raise at least $5.0 million of cash proceeds from the issuance of equity during the period June 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020 and are obligated to use our best efforts to raise an additional capital to fund our future operations. In addition, our operating plans may change as$2.0 million of cash proceeds from the issuance of equity during the period June 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020. As of August 13, 2020, we have raised $4.9 million toward the satisfaction of this obligation. As a result, of many factors some of which may be unknownwe need to us, andraise additional equity financing prior to September 30, 2020 to satisfy the Madryn obligation. Also, we may need to seekraise additional funds sooner than planned,capital through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, such as strategic collaborations. Suchcollaborations sooner than expected or otherwise implement additional cost-saving initiatives. The COVID-19 pandemic and the economic turmoil it has caused has negatively affected the global financial markets which may make it difficult to access the public markets. Any such financing may result in dilution to stockholders, the issuance of securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock, the imposition of more burdensome debt covenants and repayment obligations, the licensing of rights to our technology or other restrictions that may affect our business. In addition, we may seek additional capital due toif favorable market conditions or given other strategic considerations even if we believe we have enough funds forsufficient capital to fund our current or future operating plans.


Additional funds may not be available when we need them, on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available to us on a timely basis, we may be required to:

These covenantsrestrict,amongotherthings,our abilityto incuradditionaldebtwithout Solar’s consent, indebtedness, which may limitour abilityto obtainadditionalfunds. debt financing. In addition, the SolarMadryn Credit Agreement contains certain minimum liquidity and minimum revenue covenants, which, if we fail to maintain or achieve, will result in a default under the agreement and the requirement for us to repay all outstanding principal amounts and accrued interest repay all amounts outstanding

We are dependent uponoutstanding. In the success of the ARTAS® System and ARTAS® iX System, which has a limited commercial history. If we are unsuccessful in developing the market for robotic hair restoration or the market acceptance for the ARTAS® System and ARTAS® iX System fails to grow significantly, our business and future prospects will be harmed.

We commenced commercial sales of the ARTAS® System for hair follicle dissection in the U.S. in 2011 and expectevent that the revenueCOVID-19 pandemic and the economic disruptions it has caused continue for an extended period of time, we generate from both system sales and servicing as well as recurring procedure-based feescannot assure that we will account for allremain in compliance with the financial covenants in our revenue for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, our success depends on the acceptance among physicians and patients of the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems as the preferred system for performing hair restoration surgery. Acceptance of the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems by physicians is significantly dependent on our ability to convince physicians of the benefits of the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems to their practices and, accordingly, develop the market for robotic-assisted hair restoration surgery. Acceptance of the ARTAS procedure by patients is equally important as patient demand will influence physicians to offer the ARTAS procedure, and the degree of market acceptance of the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems by physicians and patients is unproven.credit facilities. We believe that market acceptance of the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems will depend on many factors, including:

theperceivedadvantagesor disadvantagesof theARTAS®and ARTAS® iX Systemscomparedto otherhairrestoration productsand treatments;

thesafetyand efficacyof theARTAS®and ARTAS® iX Systemsrelativeto otherhairrestorationproductsand treatments;

thepriceof theARTAS®and ARTAS® iX Systemsrelativeto otherhairrestorationproductsand treatments;

our successin expandingour salesand marketingorganization;

theeffectivenessof our marketing,advertising,and commercializationinitiatives;

our successin addingnew functionalitiesto theARTAS®and ARTAS® iX Systemsand enhancingexistingfunctions;and

our abilityto obtainregulatoryclearanceto markettheARTAS®and ARTAS® iX Systemsforadditionaltreatment indicationsin theU.S.

Further, the ARTAS® iX System, which was launched in June 2018, includes our recently approved robotic implantation functionality. As this functionality is new, it is possible that it could include defaults, “bugs” or present other technical issues which could prompt potential physician customers to delay their purchase of the ARTAS® iX System or could prompt physicians that have purchased the ARTAS® iX System to either return or not utilize the system.

Wealso cannot assure you that the ARTAS® Systemour lenders would provide relief or ARTAS® iX System will achieve broad market acceptance among physicians and patients. Becausethat we expectcould secure alternative financing on favorable terms if at all. Our failure to derive substantially all our revenue for the foreseeable future from ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems sales, servicing and procedure-based fees, any failure of this product to satisfy physician or patient demand or to achieve meaningful market acceptance will harm our business and future prospects.

If there is not sufficient patient demand for ARTAS procedures, our financial results and future prospects will be harmed.

The ARTAS procedure is an elective aesthetic procedure, the cost of which must be borne by the patient and is not covered by or reimbursable through government or private health insurance. The decision to undergo the ARTAS procedure is thus driven by patient demand, which may be influenced by a number of factors, such as:

thesuccessof our salesand marketingprograms;

theextentto which our physiciancustomersrecommendtheARTASproceduresto theirpatients;

our successin attractingconsumerswho have not previouslyundergonehairrestorationtreatment;

theextentto which theARTASproceduresatisfiespatientexpectations;

our abilityto properlytrainour physiciancustomersin theuse of theARTAS®and ARTAS® iX Systemsso thattheir patientsdo not experienceexcessivediscomfortduringtreatmentor adversesideeffects;


thecost,safety,and effectivenessof theARTAS®and ARTAS® iX Systemsversusotheraesthetictreatments;

thesuccessof any direct-to-consumermarketingeffortswe mayinitiate;and

generalconsumerconfidence,which maybe impactedby economicand politicalconditionsoutsideof our control.

Our financial performance will be materially harmed in the event we cannot generate significant patient demand for procedures performedcomply with the ARTAS® System.

Our success dependscovenants contained in part upon patient satisfaction with the effectiveness of the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems.

In order to generate repeat and referral business, patients must be satisfied with the effectiveness of the ARTAS® Systems. If the ARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System procedure is not done correctly, and or the patient suffers from complications and other adverse effects, the patient may not be satisfied with the benefits of the ARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System. Furthermore, if the transplanted hair follicles do not grow or survive the transplant, the patient will likely not view the procedure as having a satisfactory outcome. If patients are not satisfied with the aesthetic benefits of the ARTAS® System, ARTAS® iX System or feel that it is too expensive for the results obtained, our reputation and future sales will suffer.

Our success depends on growing physician adoption and use of the ARTAS® System and ARTAS® iX System.

Our ability to increase the number of physicians willing to make a significant capital expenditure to purchase the ARTAS® System, or ARTAS® iX System and make it a significant part of their practices, depends on the success of our sales and marketing programs. We must be able to demonstrate that the cost of the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems and the revenue that a physician can derive from performing ARTAS procedures are compelling when compared to the costs and revenue associated with alternative aesthetic treatments the physician can offer. In addition, we believe our marketing programs,credit facilities, including clinical and practice development support, will be critical to increasing utilization and awareness of the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems, but these programs require physician commitment and involvement to succeed. If we are unable to increase physician adoption and use of the ARTAS® System, or ARTAS® iX System our financial performance will be adversely affected.

Our inability to effectively compete with competitive hair restoration treatments or procedures may prevent us from achieving significant market penetration or improving our operating results.

The medical technology and aesthetic product markets are highly competitive and dynamic and are characterized by rapid and substantial technological development and product innovations. We designed the ARTAS® System to assist physicians in performing follicular unit extraction surgery. Demand for the ARTAS® Systems and ARTAS procedures could be limited by other products and technologies. Competition to address hair loss comes from various sources, including:

therapeuticoptionsincludingRogaine, which isappliedtopically,and Propecia,which isingested,both of which have been approvedby theFDA;

non-surgicaloptions,such as wigs, hair-lossconcealerspraysand similarproducts;and

othersurgicalalternatives,includinghairtransplantationsurgeryusingthestripsurgerymethodor usinghand-helddevices.

Surgical alternatives to the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems may be able to compete more effectively than the ARTAS procedure in established practices with trained staff and workflows built around performing these surgical alternatives. Practices experienced in offering strip surgery or follicular unit extractions using hand-held devices may be reluctant to incorporate or convert their practices to offer ARTAS procedures due to the effort involved to make such changes.

Many options may be able to provide satisfactory results for male hair loss, generally at a lower cost to the patient than the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems. As a result, if patients choose these competitive alternatives, our results of operation could be adversely affected.

We also face competition from other aesthetic devices that physicians may consider adding to their practice in lieu of building a hair restoration practice, for instance CoolSculpting, which is utilized for body contouring or cosmetic fat reduction. As a result, if physicians choose these competitive products over building a hair restoration practice with the ARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System, our results of operation could be adversely affected.


Some of our competitorshave a broadrangeof productofferings,largedirectsalesforces,and long-term customerrelationshipswith our targetphysicians,which couldinhibitour marketpenetrationefforts.Our potentialphysiciancustomersalsomayneed to recoupthecostof expensiveproductsthattheyhave already purchasedfromour competitors,and thustheymaydecideto delaypurchasing,or not to purchase,theARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System.

Many of our competitors are large, experienced companies that have substantially greater resources and brand recognition than we do. Competitioncovenants, could result in price-cutting, reduced profit margins,an event of default, which could materially and limited market share, any of which would harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may not be able to establish or strengthen our brand.

We believe that establishing and strengthening the Restoration Robotics and ARTAS brand is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of the ARTAS® Systems, particularly because of the highly competitive nature of the market for aesthetic treatments and procedures to address male hair loss. Promoting and positioning our brand will depend largely on the success of our marketing efforts and our ability to provide physicians with a reliable product to assist them in performing hair restoration surgery. Given the established nature of our competitors, and our limited commercialization in the U.S., it is likely that our future marketing efforts will require us to incur significant additional expenses. These brand promotion activities may not yield increased sales and, even if they do, any sales increases may not offset the expenses we incur to promote our brand. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brand, or if we incur substantial expenses in an unsuccessful attempt to promote and maintain our brand, our ARTAS® Systems may not be accepted by physicians, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We have limited experience with our direct sales and marketing force and any failure to build and manage our direct sales and marketing force effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We rely on a direct sales force to sell the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems in the U.S. and certain markets outside the U.S. In order to meet our anticipated sales objectives, we expect to grow our direct sales and marketing organization significantly over the next several years and intend to opportunistically build a direct sales and marketing force in certain international markets where we do not have a direct sales force. There are significant risks involved in building and managing our sales and marketing organization, including risks related to our ability to:

hirequalifiedindividualsas needed;

generatesufficientleadswithinour targetphysiciangroup forour salesforce;

provideadequatetrainingfortheeffectivesaleand marketingof theARTAS®System or ARTAS® iX System;

retainand motivateour directsalesand marketingprofessionals;and

effectivelyoverseegeographicallydispersedsalesand marketingteams.

Our failure to adequately address these risks could have a material adverse effect on our ability to increase sales and use of the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems, which would cause our revenue to be lower than expected and harm our results of operations.

To market and sell the ARTAS® and/or ARTAS® iX System in certain markets outside of the U.S., we depend on third-party distributors.

We depend on third-party distributors to sell, market, and service the ARTAS® Systems in certain markets outside of the U.S. and to train our physician customers in such markets. Furthermore, we may need to engage additional third-party distributors to expand into new markets outside of the U.S. where we do not have a direct sales force. We are subject to a number of risks associated with our dependence on these third-parties, including:

thelackof day-to-daycontrolovertheactivitiesof third-partydistributors;

third-partydistributorsmaynot committhenecessaryresourcesto market,sell,train,supportand serviceour systemsto thelevelof our expectations;

If we fail to establish and maintain satisfactory relationships with our third-party distributors, our revenue and market share may not grow as anticipated, and we could be subject to unexpected costs which would harm our results of operations and financial condition.

The sale of our common stock under the Equity Purchase Agreement may cause substantial dilution to our existing stockholders, and such sales, or the anticipation of such sales, may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

In June 2020, we entered into a purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, pursuant to which Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $31.0 million in shares of our common stock, at our sole discretion, subject to the terms and conditions and limitations set forth in the agreement. The purchase price for the shares we may sell under Equity Purchase Agreement will vary based the market and sellprice of our common stock at the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX System in markets outside of the U.S.,time we must address many international business risks with whichinitiate a sale. Although we have limited experience.

Sales in markets outsidethe right to control whether we sell any shares, if at all, under this agreement, and we generally have the right to control the timing and amount of the U.S. accounted for approximately 40% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 43% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We believe that a significant percentage of our business will continue to come fromany such sales, in markets outside of the U.S. through increased penetration in countries where we market and sell the ARTAS® or ARTAS® iX System. However, international sales are subject to acertain restrictions, including those that limit the number of risks, including:

However, to the implantation function outsideextent we do sell shares of the U.S., whichour common stock under these agreements, such sales may result in purchasing delays in international markets as customers await the availability of that function. In addition, the number of ARTAS® Systems previously soldsubstantial dilution to distributors that have not yet been placed with an end user has increased in recent periods, which, in combination with the launch of ARTAS® iX, System may further exaggerate delays in international system sales.


Whiletraditionalhair transplantationsurgeryhas been availableformany years,the ARTAS®Systemhas only been commerciallyavailablesince2011. As a result,we have a limitedtrackrecordcomparedto traditional hair transplantationsurgeryour existing stockholders, and the safetyand efficacyof the ARTAS®Systemisnot yetsupportedby long-termclinicaldata, which could limitsuch sales,and the ARTAS®Systemcould proveto be lesssafeor effectivethan initiallythought.

The ARTAS® System that we market in the U.S. is regulated as a medical device by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, and has received premarket clearance under Section 510(k)anticipation of such sales, may cause the U.S. Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA. In the 510(k) clearance process, before a device may be marketed, the FDA must determine that a proposed device is “substantially equivalent”trading price of our common stock to a legally-marketed “predicate” device, which includes a device that has been previously cleared through the 510(k) process, a device that was legally marketed prior to May 28, 1976 (pre-amendments device), a device that was originally on the U.S. market pursuant to an approved premarket approval, or PMA, application and later down-classified, or a 510(k)-exempt device. This process is typically shorter and generally requires the submission of less supporting documentation than the FDA’s PMA process and does not always require long-term clinical studies.decline.

Hair transplantation surgery has been a treatment option for hair restoration for many years, while we only began commercializing the ARTAS® System in 2011. Consequently, we lack the breadth of published long-term clinical data supporting the safety and efficacy of the ARTAS® System and the benefits it offers that might have been generated in connection with other hair restoration techniques. As a result, physicians may be slow to adopt the ARTAS® System, we may not have comparative data that our competitors have or are generating, and we may be subject to greater regulatory and product liability risks. Furthermore, future patient studies or clinical experience may indicate that treatment with the ARTAS® System does not improve patient outcomes compared to other hair restoration techniques. Such results would slow the adoption of the ARTAS® System by physicians, would significantly reduce our ability to achieve expected sales and could prevent us from achieving and maintaining profitability.

We have limited complication or patient success rate data with respect to treatment using the ARTAS® System. If future patient studies or clinical testing do not support our belief that our system offers a more advantageous treatment for hair restoration, market acceptance of the ARTAS® System could fail to increase or could decrease and our business could be harmed. Moreover, if future results and experience indicate that our implant products cause unexpected or serious complications or other unforeseen negative effects, we could be subject to mandatory product recalls, suspension or withdrawal of FDA or other governmental clearance or approval or, CE Certificates of Conformity, significant legal liability or harm to our business reputation. Furthermore, if patients that receive traditional hair transplantation surgery, such as strip surgery, were to experience unexpected or serious complications or other unforeseen effects, the market for the ARTAS® System may be adversely affected, even if such effects are not applicable to the ARTAS® System.

If we choose to, or are required to, conduct additional studies, such studies or experience could, slow the market adoption of the ARTAS® System by physicians, significantly reduce our ability to achieve expected revenue and prevent us from becoming profitable.

We were the subject of purported class action lawsuits, and additional litigation may be brought against us in the future.

In

Between May 23, 2018 and June 2018, a number of purported stockholder11, 2019, four putative shareholder class actionactions complaints were filed against us, the members of our board of directors (and affiliated venture funds), as well as certain of our current and former officers and directors, certain of our venture capital investors, and the underwriters inof our IPO. Two of these complaints, Wong v. Restoration Robotics, Inc., et al., No. 18CIV02609, and Li v. Restoration Robotics, Inc., et al., No. 19CIV08173 (together, the “State Actions”), were filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo, and assert claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act. The other two complaints, Guerrini v. Restoration Robotics, Inc., et al., No. 5:18-cv-03712-EJD and Yzeiraj v. Restoration Robotics, Inc., et al., No. 5:18-cv-03883-BLF (together, the “Federal Actions”), were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and assert claims under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act. The complaints all allege, among other things, that our Registration Statement filed with the SEC on September 1, 2017 and the Prospectus filed with the SEC on October 13, 2017 in connection with our IPO were inaccurate and misleading, contained untrue statements of material facts, omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading and omitted to state material facts required to be stated therein. The complaints seek unspecified monetary damages, other equitable relief and attorneys’ fees and costs.


In the State Actions, we, along with the other defendants, successfully demurred to the initial Wong complaint for failure to state a claim, and secured a stay of both cases based on the forum selection clause contained in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which designates the federal district courts as the exclusive forums for claims arising under the Securities Act. However, on December 19, 2018, the Delaware Court of Chancery in Sciabacucchi v. Salzberg held that exclusive federal forum provisions are invalid under Delaware law. Based on this ruling, the San Mateo Superior Court lifted its stay of State Actions on December 10, 2019. On January 17, 2020, Plaintiffs in the State Actions filed a consolidated amended complaint for violations of federal securities laws, alleging again that, among other things, our Registration Statement filed with the SEC on September 1, 2017 and the Prospectus filed with the SEC on October 13, 2017 in connection with our IPO were inaccurate and misleading, contained untrue statements of material fact, omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading and omitted to state material facts required to be stated therein. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages, other equitable relief and attorneys’ fees and costs. On February 24, 2020, we demurred to the consolidated amended complaint for failure to state a claim. On March 18, 2020, the Delaware Supreme Court reversed the Chancery Court’s decision in Sciabacucchi v. Salzberg and held that exclusive federal forum provisions are valid under Delaware law. On March 30, 2020, the Company filed a renewed motion to dismiss based on its federal forum selection clause. A hearing on our demurrer and renewed motion to dismiss was held on June 12, 2020. The court has not yet issued any decision.

In the Federal Actions, which have been consolidated under the caption In re Restoration Robotics, Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 5:18-cv-03712-EJD, Lead Plaintiff Eduardo Guerrini filed his consolidated amended complaint for violations of federal securities laws on November 30, 2018. The consolidated amended complaint alleges again that, among other things, our Registration Statement filed with the SEC on September 1, 2017 and the Prospectus filed with the SEC on October 13, 2017 in connection with our IPO were inaccurate and misleading, contained untrue statements of material facts, omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading and omitted to state material facts required to be stated therein. On January 29, 2019, we, along with certain of our former officers and directors, filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint for failure to state a claim. On October 18, 2019, the District Court granted our motion to dismiss as to all but two allegedly false or misleading statements contained in our Prospectus. On December 9, 2019, we filed our answer to the consolidated amended complaint denying the falsity of these statements, and discovery is underway. On May 29, 2020, Lead Plaintiff filed a motion for class certification, which we elected not to oppose, and on July 29, 2020, the court certified a class of investors who purchased shares of our common stock pursuant or traceable to our initial public offering.

In addition into the State and Federal Actions, on July 11, 2019, a verified shareholder derivative complaint was filed whichin the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Mason v. Rhodes, No. 5:19-cv-03997-NC. The complaint alleges that certain of our current and former executive officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties, have been unjustly enriched and violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, in connection with our IPO and our 2018 proxy statement. The complaints seekcomplaint seeks unspecified money damages, declaratory relief, other equitable relief and attorneys’ fees and costs. On August 21, 2019, the District Court granted the parties’ joint stipulation to stay the Mason action during the pendency of the Federal Actions, and the case remains stayed.

In addition to the actions described above relating to our IPO, two lawsuits purporting to challenge disclosures made in connection with our merger have also been filed. The first, captioned Bushansky v. Restoration Robotics, Inc., et al., No. 5:19-cv-06004-MMC, alleged, among other things, that defendants violated Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 14a-9. The complaint alleged that the proxy statement filed with the SEC by Restoration Robotics, Inc. on September 10, 2019 in connection with the Merger omitted or misrepresented material information. The complaint sought, among other things, injunctive relief, unspecified damages, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On November 6, 2019, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the Bushansky action with prejudice as to his individual claims and without prejudice as to the claims of the putative class.

The second, a putative shareholder class action complaint captioned Pak v. Restoration Robotics, Inc., et al., No. 1:19-cv-02237, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on December 6, 2019. The complaint alleges, among other things, that defendants violated Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 14a-9. The complaint alleges that the proxy statement filed with the SEC by Restoration Robotics, Inc. on September 10, 2019 in connection with the Merger contained false or misleading information. The complaint seeks, among other things, compensatory and/or rescissory damages, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On February 26, 2020, the District Court appointed Joon Pak as Lead Plaintiff in the Pak action, and approved his selection of Lead Counsel. We filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on May 26, 2020. On July 2, 2020, plaintiff and we filed a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice as to the plaintiff and without prejudice as to the putative class.

While we believe these claims to be without merit, we cannot assure you that additional claims alleging the same or similar facts will not be filed. Any litigation could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.


One of our subsidiaries is the subject of an administrative law investigation by the People’s Republic of China, or the PRC, State Administration for Market Regulation, or SAMR, regarding the potential misclassification of one product as a non-medical device. If this subsidiary is determined to have sold the Versa platform under an improper classification, the subsidiary could face material administrative penalties, including loss of future sales, corrective actions, disgorgement of profits and fines.

Our Chinese subsidiary, Venus Concept China, imports and sells registered medical devices and unregistered non-medical devices in the PRC. One of its unregistered products has been the subject of inquiries from two district level branches of the SAMR, Xuhui MSA and Huangpu MSA, as to whether the product was properly sold as a non-medical device. In January 2019, Venus Concept China had applied to register a version of this non-medical device as a medical device with the National Medical Products Administration of PRC, or NMPA. On June 12, 2019, Venus Concept China was informed that Xuhui MSA had opened an administrative investigation case related to whether the device is an unregistered medical device, as a result of a complaint that Xuhui MSA received from a former distributor of Venus Concept China. Huangpu MSA notified Venus Concept China that it would be suspending its separate investigation against Venus Concept China, pending the results of the Xuhui MSA investigation. We and Venus Concept China have voluntarily stopped sales in China of this product. On December 11, 2019, Xuhui MSA informed Venus Concept China that a determination had been made by the Shanghai Medical Products Administration that Versa’s IPL function should be administered as a Class II medical device. Xuhui MSA also suggested that Venus Concept China consider a voluntary recall of all Versa units sold in China. In late January 2020, Venus Concept China received a copy of the Shanghai Medical Products Administration’s determination that because of the intended uses for Versa’s IPL function comprise medical treatment functions such as “treatment of benign pigmented epidermis and skin lesions,” Versa’s IPL function should be administered as a Class II medical device. Although the revenue generated from the product that is the subject of the investigation did not represent a material amount of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, monetary penalties nonetheless could be material.

In April 2020, Venus Concept China received a determination from NMPA on its application for registering Versa’s IPL function as a medical device. NMPA has approved the registration of one applicator HR 650 for hair removal as a Class II medical device out of the four IPL applicators for which Venus Concept China had originally applied. The date of registration is April 15, 2020. Venus Concept China also submitted an explanation letter and a draft Corrective & Preventive Action Report plan to Xuhui MSA during a meeting with the local authority on April 23, 2020. However, on April 29, 2020, Xuhui MSA informed Venus Concept China that its administrative investigation case had been transferred to Xuhui Branch of Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau (“Xuhui PSB”) for further handling. On May 6, 2020, the economic crime investigation department of Xuhui PSB confirmed to Venus Concept China’s local PRC counsel that they would review and decide whether or not to file formally a criminal investigation case against Venus Concept China and any relevant individuals allegedly responsible for any alleged criminal offense(s). On May 29, 2020, Venus Concept China was informed by Xuhui MSA of Xuhui PSB’s decision not to file a criminal investigation case against Venus Concept China and was shown a written Notice of non-filing of a criminal case issued by Xuhui PSB. On the same day, Xuhui MSA informed Venus Concept China that it would reopen and resume its administrative investigation case against Venus Concept China, which proceedings are currently ongoing.

In addition to the product that is the subject of an administrative investigation, Venus Concept China also sells two other products in the PRC, which are not registered as medical devices with the NMPA. Venus Concept China may not be able to convince the relevant SAMR authorities that the product that is the subject of an administrative investigation was properly classified, or that any of its other products that might be the subject of future government investigations, is properly classified. If any of the products sold by us as unregistered products is ultimately determined to be a medical device, the registration process with the NMPA could be extensive and time-consuming, potentially resulting in Venus Concept China’s inability to sell such products in the PRC for several years. Venus Concept China’s prior sales of those products could also subject it to material administrative penalties if it is determined that the products were sold in the absence of necessary registrations with NMPA. These administrative penalties could include limitations on future sales, corrective actions, including product recalls, disgorgement of profits and fines, the future imposition of which could materially adversely affect our business, operations, financial condition and reputation in the market.

We rely on a single third-party manufacturer for the manufacturing of the reusable procedure kits, disposable procedure kits and spare procedures kits used with the ARTAS®ARTAS® System and the ARTAS®ARTAS® iX System.

NPI Solutions, Inc., or NPI, produces reusable procedure kits, disposable procedure kits and spare kits used with the ARTAS®ARTAS® System and ARTAS® ARTAS® iX System. If the operations of NPI are interrupted or if it is unable or unwilling to meet our delivery requirements due to capacity limitations or other constraints, we may be limited in our ability to fulfill new customer kit orders required for use with the existing ARTAS®ARTAS® System and ARTAS®ARTAS® iX System. Any change to another contract manufacturer would likely entail significant delay, require us to devote substantial time and resources, and could involve a period in which our products could not be produced in a timely or consistently high-quality manner, any of which could harm our reputation and results of operations.


We have a manufacturing agreement for consumables with NPI for the supply of consumable products, including reusable procedure kits, disposable procedure kits and spare procedure kits used with the ARTAS®ARTAS® System and ARTAS® ARTAS® iX System, pursuant to both of which we make purchases on a purchase order basis. The agreement is effective for an initial term of two years and will continue to automatically renew for additional twelve-month periods, subject to either party’s right to terminate the agreement upon 180 days advance notice during the initial term if our quarterly forecasted demand falls below 75% of our historical forecasted demand for the same period in the previous year or upon 120 days’ advance notice after the initial term.


In addition, our reliance on NPI involves a number of other risks, including, among other things, that:

our various procedure kits may not be manufactured in accordance with agreed upon specifications or in compliance with regulatory requirements, or its manufacturing facilities may not be able to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, which could negatively affect the safety or efficacy of our procedure kits, cause delays in shipments of our procedure kits, or require us to recall procedure kits previously delivered to customers;customers or subject us to enforcement actions by regulatory agencies;

we may not be able to timely respond to unanticipated changes in customer orders, and if orders do not match forecasts, we may have excess or inadequate inventory of materials and components;

we may be subject to price fluctuations when a supply contract is renegotiated or if our existing contract is not renewed;

NPI may wish to discontinue manufacturing and supplying products to us for risk management reasons; and

NPI may encounter financial or other hardships unrelated to our demand for products, which could inhibit its ability to fulfill our orders and meet our requirements.

If any of these risks materialize, it could significantly increase our costs, our ability to generate net sales would be impaired, market acceptance of our products could be adversely affected, and customers may instead purchase or use our competitors’ products, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, if we are required to change the manufacturing of our various procedure kits, we will be required to verify that the new manufacturer maintains facilities, procedures and operations that comply with our quality and applicable regulatory requirements, which could further impede our ability to manufacture the procedure kits in a timely manner. Transitioning to a new supplier could be time-consuming and expensive, may result in interruptions in our operations and product delivery. The occurrence of these events could harm our ability to meet the demand for our products in a timely or cost-effective manner.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure alternative equipment and materials and utilize such equipment and materials without experiencing interruptions in our workflow. If we should encounter delays or difficulties in securing, reconfiguring or revalidating the equipment and components we require for the ARTAS®ARTAS® System and ARTAS® ARTAS® iX System, including the related consumables, our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted.

If NPI is unable to manufacture the reusable procedure kits, disposable procedure kits and spare procedures kits used with the ARTAS® System and the ARTAS® iX System in high-quality commercial quantities successfully and consistently to meet demand, our growth will be limited.

To manufacture our reusable procedure kits, disposable procedure kits and spare procedure kits in the quantities that we believe will be required to meet anticipated market demand, NPI will need to increase manufacturing capacity, which will involve significant challenges. In addition, the development of commercial-scale manufacturing capabilities will require us and NPI to invest substantial additional funds and hire and retain the technical personnel who have the necessary manufacturing experience. Neither we nor NPI may successfully complete any required increase to existing manufacturing processes in a timely manner, or at all.

If NPI is unable to produce the reusable procedure kits, disposable procedure kits and spare kits in sufficient quantities to meet anticipated customer demand, our revenue, business, and financial prospects would be harmed. The limited experience NPI has in producing larger quantities of the procedure kits may also result in quality issues, and possibly result in product recalls. Manufacturing delays related to quality control could harm our reputation and decrease our revenue. Any recall could be expensive and generate negative publicity, which could impair our ability to market the ARTAS® System and the ARTAS® iX System and procedures and further affect our results of operations.


If we are unable to manufacture our next generation ARTAS® System, called the ARTAS® iX System in high-quality commercial quantities successfully and consistently to meet demand, our growth will be limited, and our reputation could be harmed.

To manufacture our ARTAS® iX System in the quantities that we believe will be required to meet anticipated market demand, we will need to develop and maintain sufficient manufacturing capacity, which will involve significant challenges. Historically, we have not manufactured any of our other products (e.g. ARTAS® System) in-house or without the contract manufacturer involvement. Over the next 12 months, we will manufacture the ARTAS® iX System without a third-party contract manufacturer’s involvement. The development of commercial-scale manufacturing capabilities will require us (or our contract manufacturer for ARTAS® iX System, if we decide to utilize one on a long-term basis) to invest substantial additional funds and hire and retain the technical personnel who have the necessary manufacturing experience. Neither we nor a third-party manufacturer, if one is utilized, may successfully complete any required increase to existing manufacturing processes in a timely manner, or at all.

If we or a contract manufacturer, if one is utilized, are unable to produce the ARTAS® iX System in sufficient quantities to meet anticipated customer demand, our revenue, business, financial prospects, and reputation would be harmed. The limited experience we or a third-party manufacturer, if one is utilized, in producing the ARTAS® iX System may also result in quality issues, and possibly result in product recalls. Manufacturing delays related to quality control could harm our reputation and decrease our revenue. Any recall could be expensive and generate negative publicity, which could impair our ability to market the ARTAS® iX System and procedures and further affect our results of operations.

Both our manufacturing of the ARTAX ® iX System and NPI’s manufacturing of the procedure kits are dependent upon third-party suppliers and, in some cases, sole suppliers, for the majority of our components, subassemblies and materials, making us vulnerable to supply shortages and price fluctuations, which could harm our business.

We and NPI, as the case may be, rely on several sole source suppliers, including Kuka Robotics, Inc., FLIR Integrated Imaging Solutions Inc. and 3D-CAM International Corporation, for certain components of the ARTAS® iX System, reusable procedure kits, disposable procedure kits and spare procedure kits. These sole suppliers, and any of our other suppliers, may be unwilling or unable to supply components of these systems to us or NPI reliably and at the levels we anticipate or are required by the market. For us to be successful, our suppliers must be able to provide products and components in substantial quantities, in compliance with regulatory requirements, in accordance with agreed upon specifications, at acceptable costs and on a timely basis. An interruption in our commercial operations could occur if we encounter delays or difficulties in securing these components, and if we cannot then obtain an acceptable substitute. If we are required to transition to new third-party suppliers for certain components of the ARTAS® iX System or our procedure kits, we believe that there are only a few such suppliers that can supply the necessary components. A supply interruption, price fluctuation or an increase in demand beyond our current suppliers’ capabilities could harm our ability to manufacture the ARTAS® iX System and NPI’s ability to manufacture our procedure kits until new sources of supply are identified and qualified. In addition, the use of components or materials furnished by these alternative suppliers could require us to alter our operations.

Our reliance on these suppliers subjects us to a number of risks that could harm our reputation, business, and financial condition, including, among other things:

interruptionof supplyresultingfrommodificationsto or discontinuationof a supplier’soperations;

delaysin productshipmentsresultingfromuncorrecteddefects,reliabilityissues,or a supplier’s variationin a component;

a lackof long-termsupplyarrangementsforkey componentswith our suppliers;

Wherepracticable,we areseeking,or intendingto seek, second-sourcemanufacturersforcertainof our components.However, we cannotprovideassurancethatwe willbe successfulin establishingsecond-source manufacturersor thatthesecond-sourcemanufacturerswillbe ableto satisfycommercialdemandforthe ARTAS® System and ARTAS® iX System.

If any of these risks materialize, costs could significantly increase and our ability to meet demand for our products could be impacted. If we are unable to satisfy commercial demand for the ARTAS® System and ARTAS® iXSystem in a timely manner, our ability to generate revenue would be impaired and market acceptance of our products could be adversely affected.

We forecast sales to determine requirements for components and materials used in the ARTAS® System and ARTAS® iX System, reusable procedure kits, disposable procedure kits, upgrade kits and spare kits and if our forecasts are incorrect, we may experience delays in shipments or increased inventory costs.

We keep limited finished products on hand. To manage our operations, we forecast anticipated product orders and material requirements to predict our inventory needs and enter into purchase orders on the basis of these requirements. Several components of the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems require significant order lead time. Our limited historical commercial experience and anticipated growth may not provide us with enough data to consistently and accurately predict future demand. If our business expands and our demand for components and materials increases beyond our estimates, our manufacturers and suppliers may be unable to meet our demand. In addition, if we underestimate our component and material requirements, we may have inadequate inventory, which could interrupt, delay, or prevent delivery of the ARTAS® System or the ARTAS® iX System and related products to our customers. In contrast, if we overestimate our requirements, we may have excess inventory, which would increase use of our working capital. Any of these occurrences would negatively affect our financial condition and the level of satisfaction our physician customers have with our business.

Even though the ARTAS® System and ARTAS® iX System are marketed to physicians, there exists a potential for misuse by the operator of the systems by physicians, non-physicians or individuals who are not sufficiently trained, which could harm our reputation and our business.

We and our independent distributors market and sell the ARTAS® System and ARTAS® iX System to physicians. Under state law in the U.S., our physician customers can generally allow nurse practitioners, technicians, and other non-physicians to perform the ARTAS procedures under their direct supervision. Similarly, in markets outside of the U.S., physicians can allow non-physicians to perform the ARTAS procedures under their supervision. Although we and our distributors provide training on the use of the ARTAS® System and ARTAS® iX System, we do not supervise the procedures performed with the ARTAS® System and ARTAS® iX System, nor can we be assured that direct physician supervision of procedures occurs according to our recommendations. The potential misuse of the ARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System by physicians and non-physicians may result in adverse treatment outcomes, which could harm our reputation and expose us to costly product liability litigation.

We and our distributors offer product training sessions, but neither we nor our distributors require purchasers or operators of our products to attend training sessions. The lack of required training for operators of our product and the use of our products by non-physicians may result in product misuse and adverse treatment outcomes, which could harm our reputation and expose us to costly product liability litigation.

Product liability suits could be brought against us for defective design, labeling, material, or workmanship, or misuse of the ARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System, and could result in expensive and time-consuming litigation, payment of substantial damages, an increase in our insurance rates and substantial harm to our reputation.

If the ARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System are defectively designed, manufactured, or labeled, contains defective components, or is misused, we may become subject to substantial and costly litigation by our physician customers or their patients. Misuse of the ARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System or failure to adhere to operating guidelines can cause skin damage and underlying tissue damage and, if our operating guidelines are found to be inadequate, we may be subject to liability. Furthermore, if a patient is injured in an unexpected manner or suffers unanticipated adverse events after undergoing the ARTAS procedure, even if the procedure was performed in accordance with our operating guidelines, we may be subject to product liability claims. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liability claims, we may incur substantial liabilities. Even successful defense would require significant financial and management resources. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:

decreaseddemandfortheARTAS® System and ARTAS® iX System,or any futureproducts;

damageto our reputation;

withdrawalof clinicaltrialparticipants;

a diversionof management’stimeand our resources;

substantialmonetaryawardsto physiciancustomers,patientsor clinicaltrialparticipants;

regulatoryinvestigations,productrecalls,withdrawalsor labeling,marketingor promotional restrictions;

lossof revenue;and

theinabilityto commercializeany futureproducts.

Our inability to obtain and maintain sufficient product liability insurance at an acceptable cost and scope of coverage to protect against potential product liability claims could inhibit commercialization of the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems. As of September 30, 2019, we carry product liability insurance in the amount of $4.0 million in the aggregate. Although we maintain such insurance, any claim that may be brought against us could result in a court judgment or settlement in an amount that is not covered, in whole or in part, by our insurance or that is in excess of the limits of our insurance coverage. Our insurance policies also have various exclusions and deductibles, and we may be subject to a product liability claim for which we have no coverage. We will have to pay any amounts awarded by a court or negotiated in a settlement that exceed our coverage limitations or that are not covered by our insurance, and we may not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient funds to pay such amounts. Moreover, in the future, we may not be able to maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost or in sufficient amounts to protect us against losses.

The clinical trial process required to obtain regulatory clearances or approvals is lengthy and expensive with uncertain outcomes and could result in delays in new product introductions.

In order to obtain 510(k) clearance for the ARTAS® System, we were required to conduct a clinical trial, and we expect to conduct clinical trials in support of marketing authorization for future products and product enhancements. Conducting clinical trials is a complex and expensive process, can take many years, and outcomes are inherently uncertain. We may suffer significant setbacks in clinical trials, even after earlier clinical trials showed promising results, and failure can occur at any time during the clinical trial process. Any of our products may malfunction or may produce undesirable adverse effects that could cause us or regulatory authorities to interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials. We, the FDA, or another regulatory authority may suspend or terminate clinical trials at any time to avoid exposing trial participants to unacceptable health risks.

Successful results of pre-clinical studies are not necessarily indicative of future clinical trial results, and predecessor clinical trial results may not be replicated in subsequent clinical trials. Additionally, the FDA may disagree with our interpretation of the data from our pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, or may find the clinical trial design, conduct or results inadequate to prove safety or efficacy, and may require us to pursue additional pre-clinical studies or clinical trials, which could further delay the clearance or approval of our products. The data we collect from our pre-clinical studies and clinical trials may not be sufficient to support FDA clearance or approval, and if we are unable to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our future products in our clinical trials, we will be unable to obtain regulatory clearance or approval to market our products.

In addition, we may estimate and publicly announce the anticipated timing of the accomplishment of various clinical, regulatory and other product development goals, which are often referred to as milestones. These milestones could include the obtainment of the right to affix the CE Mark in the European Union; the submission to the FDA of an investigational device exemption, or IDE, application to commence a pivotal clinical trial for a new product; the enrollment of patients in clinical trials; the release of data from clinical trials; and other clinical and regulatory events. The actual timing of these milestones could vary dramatically compared to our estimates, in some cases for reasons beyond our control. We cannot assure you that we will meet our projected milestones and if we do not meet these milestones as publicly announced, the commercialization of our products may be delayed and, as a result, our stock price may decline.

Delays in the commencement or completion of clinical testing could significantly affect our product development costs. We do not know whether planned clinical trials will begin on time, need to be redesigned, enroll an adequate number of patients in a timely manner or be completed on schedule, if at all. The commencement and completion of clinical trials can be delayed or terminated for a number of reasons, including delays or failures related to:

theFDAor comparableforeignregulatoryauthoritiesdisagreeingas to thedesignor implementationof our clinicalstudies;

obtainingregulatoryapprovalto commencea clinicaltrial;

reachingagreementon acceptabletermswith prospectiveclinicalresearchorganizations,or CROs,and trialsites,thetermsof which can be subjectto extensivenegotiationand mayvarysignificantlyamong differentCROsand trialsites;

manufacturingsufficientquantitiesof a productforuse in clinicaltrials;

havingclinicalsitesobservetrialprotocolor continueto participatein a trial;

addressingany patientsafetyconcernsthatariseduringthecourseof a clinicaltrial;

addressingany conflictswith new or existinglaws or regulations;and

addinga sufficientnumberof clinicaltrialsites.

Patient enrollment in clinical trials and completion of patient follow-up depend on many factors, including the size of the patient population, the nature of the trial protocol, the proximity of patients to clinical sites, the eligibility criteria for the clinical trial, patient compliance, competing clinical trials and clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages of the product being studied in relation to other available therapies, including any new treatments that may be cleared or approved for the indications we are investigating. For example, patients may be discouraged from enrolling in our clinical trials if the trial protocol requires them to undergo extensive post-treatment procedures or follow-up to assess the safety and efficacy of a product, or they may be persuaded to participate in contemporaneous clinical trials of a competitor’s product. In addition, patients participating in our clinical trials may drop out before completion of the trial or suffer adverse medical events unrelated to our products. Delays in patient enrollment or failure of patients to continue to participate in a clinical trial may delay commencement or completion of the clinical trial, cause an increase in the costs of the clinical trial and delays, or result in the failure of the clinical trial.

We could also encounter delays if the FDA concluded that our financial relationships with our principal investigators resulted in a perceived or actual conflict of interest that may have affected the interpretation of a study, the integrity of the data generated at the applicable clinical trial site or the utility of the clinical trial itself. Principal investigators for our clinical trials may serve as scientific advisors or consultants to us from time to time and receive cash compensation and/or stock options in connection with such services. If these relationships and any related compensation to or ownership interest by the clinical investigator carrying out the study result in perceived or actual conflicts of interest, or the FDA concludes that the financial relationship may have affected interpretation of the study, the integrity of the data generated at the applicable clinical trial site may be questioned and the utility of the clinical trial itself may be jeopardized, which could result in the delay or rejection of our marketing application by the FDA. Any such delay or rejection could prevent us from commercializing any of our products in development.

Furthermore, clinical trials may also be delayed because of ambiguous or negative interim results. In addition, a clinical trial may be suspended or terminated by us, the FDA, the IRB overseeing the clinical trial at issue, the Data Safety Monitoring Board for such trial, any of our clinical trial sites with respect to that site, or other regulatory authorities due to several factors, including:

failureto conducttheclinicaltrialin accordancewith applicableregulatoryrequirementsor our clinical protocols;

inspectionof theclinicaltrialoperationsor trialsitesby theFDAor otherregulatoryauthorities resultingin theimpositionof a clinicalhold;

inabilityof a clinicalinvestigatoror clinicaltrialsiteto continueto participatein theclinicaltrial;

unforeseensafetyissuesor adversesideeffects;

failureto demonstratea benefitfromusingtheproduct;and

lackof adequatefundingto continuetheclinicaltrial.

Additionally, changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur and we may need to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes. Amendments may require us to resubmit our clinical trial protocols to IRBs for reexamination, which may impact the costs, timing or successful completion of a clinical trial. If we experience delays in completion of, or if we terminate, any of our clinical trials, the commercial prospects for our products may be harmed and our ability to generate product revenue from these products will be delayed or not realized at all. In addition, any delays in completing our clinical trials will increase our costs, slow down our product development and approval process and jeopardize our ability to commence product sales and generate revenue. Any of these occurrences may significantly harm our business, financial condition and prospects significantly. In addition, many of the factors that cause, or lead to, a delay in the commencement or completion of a clinical trial may also ultimately lead to the denial of regulatory approval of the subject product.


Our businesscould be adverselyaffectedifwe are unable to extendthe cleareduses of the ARTAS® System and ARTAS® iX Systemor successfullypursue the development,regulatoryclearanceor approvaland commercializationof future products.

The ARTAS® System and ARTAS® iX System for hair follicle dissection, which has been cleared for use in the U.S. only for dissecting hair follicles from the scalp in men diagnosed with AGA who have black or brown straight hair, recipient site making for the follicle transplantation sites and, in our ARTAS® iX System, robotic implantation in which hair follicles are robotically transplanted, which recently has been approved for commercial marketing in the U.S., are our only products. Our business could be adversely affected if we are unable to extend the cleared uses of the ARTAS® System and ARTAS® iX System or successfully pursue the development, regulatory clearance or approval and commercialization of future products. In the future, we may also become dependent on other products that we may develop or acquire. The clinical and commercial success of our products will depend on several factors, including the following:

theabilityto raiseany additionalrequiredcapitalon acceptableterms,or atall;

our abilityto avoidthird-partypatentinterference,intellectualpropertychallengesor intellectual propertyinfringementclaims.

Even if regulatory approvals or clearances are obtained, we may never be able to successfully commercialize any future indications or products. Accordingly, we cannot provide assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue through the sale of any future products to continue our business.

We will need to increase the size of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing growth.

As of September 30, 2019, we had 90 employees, with 35 employees in sales and marketing, 24 employees in customer support, 18 employees in research and development, including clinical, regulatory and certain quality control functions, five employees in manufacturing operations and eight employees in general management and administration. We will need to continue to expand our sales, marketing, managerial, operational, finance and administrative resources for the ongoing commercialization of the ARTAS® System and ARTAS® iX System and continue our development activities of any future products.

Our existing management, personnel, systems and facilities may not be adequate to support our future growth. Our need to effectively execute our growth strategy requires that we:

identify,recruit,retain,incentivizeand integrateadditionalemployees,includingsalespersonnel;

manageour internaldevelopmentand operationaleffortseffectivelywhilecarryingout our contractual obligationsto thirdparties;and

continueto improveour operational,financialand managementcontrols,reportssystemsand procedures.


Ifwe failto attractand retainseniormanagementand key personnel,we maybe unable to successfullygrow our business.

Our success depends in part on our continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified management, clinical and other personnel. We are highly dependent upon our senior management, particularly our President and Chief Executive Officer, our management team and other key personnel. The loss of services of any of these individuals could delay or prevent enhancement of the ARTAS® System and ARTAS® iX System, the expansion of the ARTAS® System and ARTAS® iX System to new indications, or the development of any future products. Although we have entered into employment agreements with our senior management team, these agreements do not provide for a fixed term of service.

Competition for qualified personnel in the medical device field is intense due to the limited number of individuals who possess the skills and experience required by our industry. We will need to hire additional personnel and we may not be able to attract and retain quality personnel on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, to the extent we hire personnel from competitors, we may be subject to allegations that they have been improperly solicited or that they have divulged proprietary or other confidential information, or that their former employers own their research output.

Because we have opted to take advantage of the JOBS Act provision which allows us to delay implementing new accounting standards, our consolidated financial statements may not be directly comparable to other public companies.

Pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued after the enactmentOrder of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlierHealth Officer of the dateCounty of Santa Clara directing all individuals to shelter-in-place, which was issued on March 16, 2020, in response to impact of COVID-19 pandemic (as updated, the “Order”), we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. Because we have elected to take advantage of this provision of the JOBS Act, our consolidated financial statements and the reported results of operations contained therein may not be directly comparable to other public companies.

We incur significant costs because of operating as a public company, and our management devotes substantial time to new compliance initiatives. We may fail to comply with the rules that apply to public companies, including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which could result in sanctions or other penalties that would harm our business.

We incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a public company, including costs resulting from public company reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and regulations regarding corporate governance practices. The listing requirements of The Nasdaq Global Market and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, require that we satisfy certain corporate governance requirements relating to director independence, filing annual and interim reports, stockholder meetings, approvals and voting, soliciting proxies, conflicts of interest and a code of conduct. Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to ensure that we comply with all of these requirements. Moreover, the reporting requirements, rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costlier. Any changes we make to comply with these obligations may not be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our obligations as a public company on a timely basis, or at all. These reporting requirements, rules and regulations, coupled with the increase in potential litigation exposure associated with being a public company, could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or board committees or to serve as executive officers, or to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors’ and officers’ insurance, on acceptable terms.

We are subject to Section 404 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Section 404, and the related rules of the SEC, which generally require our management and independent registered public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. During the course of our review and testing, we may identify deficiencies and bewere unable to remediate them before we must provide the required reports.

If we have a material weakness inaccess our internal controls over financial reporting, we may not detect errors on a timely basis and our consolidated financial statements may be materially misstated. We or our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting, which could harm our operating results, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and cause the market price of our stock to decline. In addition, as a public company we are required to file accurate and timely quarterly and annual reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any failure to report our financial results on an accurate and timely basis could result in sanctions, lawsuits, delisting of our shares from The Nasdaq Global Market or other adverse consequences that would materially harm to our business and cause the market price of our common stock to decline.


Further, for so long as we remain an emerging growth company as defined in the JOBS Act, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404. Once we are no longer an emerging growth company or, if prior to such date, we opt to no longer take advantage of the applicable exemption, our independent registered public accounting firm will be engaged to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a)following the fifth anniversary of our IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

Unfavorable global economic conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy and in the global financial markets. Furthermore, the market for aesthetic medical procedures may be particularly vulnerable to unfavorable economic conditions. In particular, the ARTAS procedures will not receive coverage and reimbursement and, as a result, demand for this product will be tied to discretionary spending levels of our targeted patient population. The recent global financial crisis caused extreme volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn, such as the recent global financial crisis, could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems, ARTAS procedures or any future products, if approved, and our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. A weak or declining economy could also strain our manufacturers or suppliers, possibly resulting in supply disruption, or cause our customers to delay making payments for our services. Any of the foregoing could harm our business and we cannot anticipate all of the ways in which the economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business.

We or the third parties upon whom we depend may be adversely affected by earthquakes or other natural disasters and our business continuity and disaster recovery plans may not adequately protect us from a serious disaster.

Our corporate headquarters and other facilities are locatedfacility in San Jose California, which in the past has experienced both severe earthquakes and floods. We do not carry earthquake or flood insurance. Earthquakes or other natural disasters could severely disrupt our operations, and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

If a natural disaster, power outage or other event occurred that prevented us from using all or a significant portion of our headquarters, that damaged critical infrastructure, such as our ARTAS enterprise system, enterprise financial systems and records, manufacturing resource planning and enterprise quality systems, or that otherwise disrupted operations, it may be difficult or, in certain cases, impossible, for us to continue our business for a substantial period of time. The disaster recovery and business continuity plan we have in place are limited and are unlikely to prove adequate in the event of a serious disaster or similar event. We may incur substantial expenses because of the limited nature of our disaster recovery and business continuity plans, which, particularly when taken together with our lack of earthquake or flood insurance, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Furthermore, integral parties in our supply chain are similarly vulnerable to natural disasters or other sudden, unforeseen and severe adverse events. If such an event were to affect our supply chain, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Significant disruptions of information technology systems or breaches of data security could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We collect and maintain information in digital form that is necessary to conduct our business, and we are increasingly dependent on information technology systems and infrastructure to operate our business. In the ordinary course of our business, we collect, store and transmit large amounts of confidential information, including intellectual property, proprietary business information and personal information. It is critical that we do so in a secure manner to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of such confidential information. We have established physical, electronic, and organizational measures to safeguard and secure our systems to prevent a data compromise, and rely on commercially available systems, software, tools, and monitoring to provide security for our information technology systems and the processing, transmission and storage of digital information. We have also outsourced elements of our information technology infrastructure, and asNPI’s facility until June 1, 2020. As a result, a few third-party vendors may or couldwe were unable to manufacture sufficient ARTAS procedure kits during this period and were limited to shipping procedure kits from existing inventory. While we currently have access to our confidential information. Our internal information technology systemsSan Jose facility and infrastructure, and those of our current and any future collaborators, contractors and consultants and other third parties on which we rely, are vulnerable to damage from computer viruses, malware, natural disasters, terrorism, war, telecommunication and electrical failures, cyber-attacks or cyber-intrusions over the Internet, attachments to emails, persons inside our organization, or persons with access to systems inside our organization. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attacks or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments, and cyber terrorists,NPI’s facility has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and


intrusionsfromaroundtheworld have increased.In addition,theprevalentuse of mobiledevicesthataccessconfidentialinformationincreasestheriskof data securitybreaches,which couldleadto thelossof confidentialinformationor otherintellectualproperty.The coststo us to mitigatenetworksecurityproblems,bugs, viruses,worms,malicioussoftwareprogramsand securityvulnerabilitiescouldbe significant,and whilewe have implementedsecuritymeasuresto protectour datasecurityand informationtechnologysystems,our effortsto addresstheseproblemsmaynot be successful, and theseproblemscouldresultin unexpectedinterruptions,delays,cessationof serviceand otherharmto our businessand our competitiveposition.Ifsuch an eventwere to occurand causeinterruptionsin our operations,it couldresultin a materialdisruptionof our productdevelopmentprograms.Moreover,ifa computersecurity breachaffectsour systemsor resultsin theunauthorizedreleaseof personallyidentifiableinformation,our reputationcouldbe materiallydamaged.In addition,such a breachmayrequirenotificationto governmental agencies,themediaor individualspursuantto variousfederaland stateprivacyand securitylaws, ifapplicable, includingtheHealthInsurancePortabilityand AccountabilityAct of 1996, or HIPAA,as amendedby theHealth InformationTechnologyforClinicalHealthAct of 2009, or HITECH,and itsimplementingrulesand regulations,as wellas regulationspromulgatedby theFederalTradeCommission and statebreachnotification laws. We would alsobe exposedto a riskof lossor litigationand potentialliability,which couldmaterially adverselyaffectour business,resultsof operationsand financialcondition.

Our employees and independent contractors, including consultants, manufacturers, distributors, commercial collaborators, service providers and other vendors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We are exposed to the risk that our employees and independent contractors, including consultants, manufacturers, distributors, commercial collaborators, service providers and other vendors may engage in misconduct or other illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional, reckless and/or negligent conduct or other unauthorized activities that violate the laws and regulations of the FDA and other similar regulatory bodies, including those laws that require the reporting of true, complete and accurate information to such regulatory bodies; manufacturing standards; U.S. federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse, data privacy laws and other similar non-U.S. laws; or laws that require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or data. Activities subject to these laws also involve the improper use or misrepresentation of information obtained in the course of clinical trials, the creation of fraudulent data in our nonclinical studies or clinical trials, or illegal misappropriation of product, which could result in regulatory sanctions and cause serious harm to our reputation. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct by employees and other third-parties, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. In addition, we are subject to the risk that a person or government could allege such fraud or other misconduct, even if none occurred. If any such actions are instituted against us,re-opened and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could have a significant impact on our business and financial results, including, without limitation, the imposition of significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, monetary fines, disgorgements, individual imprisonment, other sanctions, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings and curtailment of our operations, any of which could adversely affect our abilityable to operate our business and our results of operations.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

We may in the future become involved in lawsuits to defend ourselves against intellectual property disputes, which couldmanufacture ARTAS procedure kits, we cannot predict whether these facilities will be expensive and time consuming, and ultimately unsuccessful, and could result in the diversion of significant resources, and hinder our ability to commercialize our existing or future products.

Our success depends in part on not infringing the patents or violating the other proprietary rights of others. Intellectual property disputes can be costly to defend and may cause our business, operating results and financial condition to suffer. Significant litigation regarding patent rights occurs in the medical industry. Whether merited or not, it is possible that U.S. and foreign patents and pending patent applications controlled by third parties may be alleged to cover our products. We may also face allegations that our employees have misappropriated the intellectual property rights of their former employers or other third parties. Our competitors in both the U.S. and abroad, many of which have substantially greater resources and have made substantial investments in patent portfolios and competing technologies, may have applied for or obtained or may in the future apply for and obtain, patents that will prevent, limit, or otherwise interfere with our ability to make, use, sell, and/or export our products. Our competitors may have one or more patents for which they can threaten and/or initiate patent infringement actions against us and/or any of our third-party suppliers. Our ability to defend ourselves and/or our third-party suppliers may be limited by our financial and human resources, the availability of reasonable defenses, and the ultimate acceptance of our defensesclosed again by the courts or juries. Furthermore, if such patents are successfully asserted against us, this may result in an adverse impact on our business, including injunctions, damages, and/or attorneys’ fees. From time to time and in the ordinary course of business, we may develop noninfringement and/or invalidity positions with respect to third-party patents, which may or not be ultimately adjudicated as successful by a judge or jury if such patents were asserted against us.


We mayreceivein thefuture,particularlyas a publiccompany,communicationsfrompatentholders,including non-practicingentities,alleginginfringementof patentsor otherintellectualpropertyrightsor misappropriation of tradesecrets,or offeringlicensesto such intellectualproperty.Any claimsthatwe assertagainstperceived infringerscouldalsoprovokethesepartiesto assertcounterclaimsagainstus allegingthatwe infringetheir intellectualpropertyrights.At any giventime,we maybe involvedas eithera plaintiffor a defendantin a numberof patentinfringementactions,theoutcomesof which maynot be known forprolongedperiodsof time.

The large number of patents, the rapid rate of new patent applications and issuances, the complexitiesOrder of the technologies involved, and the uncertainty of litigation significantly increase the risks related to any patent litigation. Any potential intellectual property litigation also could force us to do one or moreHealth Officer of the following:

findalternativesuppliesforinfringingproductsor processes,which couldbe costlyand create significantdelaydue to theneed forFDAregulatoryclearance;and/or

redesignthoseproductsor processesthatinfringeany third-partyintellectualproperty,which couldbe costly,disruptive,and/orinfeasible.

From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business with respect to intellectual property. Even if resolved in our favor, litigation or other legal proceedings relating to intellectual property claims may cause us to incur significant expenses and could distract our technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities. In addition, there could beCalifornia State public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments, and if securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Finally, any uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise the funds necessary to continue our operations.

If any of the foregoing occurs, we may have to withdraw existing products from the market or may be unable to commercialize one or more of our products, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Any litigation or claim against us, even those without merit, may cause us to incur substantial costs, and could place a significant strain on our financial resources, divert the attention of management from our core business and harm our reputation. Furthermore, as the number of participants in the robotic hair restoration surgery market grows, the possibility of intellectual property infringement claims against us increases.

In addition, we may indemnify our customers, suppliers and international distributors against claims relating to the infringement of the intellectual property rights of third parties relating to our products, methods, and/or manufacturing processes. Third parties may assert infringement claims against our customers, suppliers, or distributors. These claims may require us to initiate or defend protracted and costly litigation on behalf of our customers, suppliers or distributors, regardless of the merits of these claims. If any of these claims succeed, we may be forced to pay damages on behalf of our customers, suppliers, or distributors or may be required to obtain licenses for the products they use. If we cannot obtain all necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms, our customers may be forced to stop using our products, or our suppliers may be forced to stop providing us with products.

Changes in patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our existing and future products.

Recent patent reform legislation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent applications and the enforcement or defense of our issued patents. On September 16, 2011, the Leahy- Smith America Invents Act, or the Leahy-Smith Act, was signed into law. The Leahy-Smith Act includes a number of significant changes to U.S. patent law. These include provisions that affect the way patent applications are prosecuted, redefine prior art, may affect patent litigation, and switched the U.S. patent system from a “first-to-invent” system to a “first-to-file” system. Under a “first-to-file” system, assuming the other requirements for patentability are met, the first inventor to file a patent application generally will be entitled to the patent on an invention regardless of whether another inventor had made the invention earlier. The USPTO recently developed new regulations and procedures to govern administration of the Leahy-Smith Act, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated with the Leahy-Smith Act, in particular, the first-to-file provisions, only became effective on March 16, 2013. Accordingly, it is not clear what, if any, impact the Leahy-Smith Act will have on the operation of our business. The Leahy-Smith Act and its implementation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent applications and the enforcement or defense of our issued patents, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

In addition, patent reform legislation may pass in the future that could lead to additional uncertainties and increased costs surrounding the prosecution, enforcement and defense of our patents and applications. Furthermore, the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit have made, and will likely continue to make, changes in how the patent laws of the U.S. are interpreted. For example, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on several patent cases in recent years, such as AssociationforMolecularPathologyv.MyriadGenetics,Inc. (Myriad I), MayoCollaborativeServicesv.PrometheusLaboratories,Inc., and AliceCorporationPty.Ltd.v.CLSBank International, either narrowing the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakening the rights of patent owners in certain situations. Similarly, foreign courts have made, and will likely continue to make, changes in how the patent laws in their respective jurisdictions are interpreted. We cannot predict future changes in the interpretation of patent laws or changes to patent laws that might be enacted into law by U.S. and foreign legislative bodies. Those changes may materially affect our patents or patent applications and our ability to obtain additional patent protection in the future.

Obtaining and maintaining patent protection depends on compliance with various procedural, document submission, fee payment and other requirements imposed by governmental patent agencies, and our patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for non-compliance with these requirements.

The USPTO and various foreign governmental patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment, and other similar provisions during the patent application process. In addition, periodic maintenance fees on issued patents often must be paid to the USPTO and foreign patent agencies over the lifetime of the patent. While an unintentional lapse can in many cases be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules, there are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. Non-compliance events that could result in abandonment or lapse of a patent or patent application include, but are not limited to, failure to respond to official actions within prescribed time limits, non-payment of fees and failure to properly legalize and submit formal documents. If we fail to maintain the patents and patent applications covering our products or procedures, we may not be able to stop a competitor from marketing products that are the same as or similar to our own, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.


We maynot be ableto adequatelyprotectour intellectualpropertyrightsthroughout the world.

Filing, prosecuting and defending patents on our products in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive. The requirements for patentability may differ in certain countries, particularly developing countries, and the breadth of patent claims allowed can be inconsistent. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as laws in the U.S. Consequently, we may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our inventions in all countries outside the U.S. Competitors may use our technologies in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection to develop their own products and, furthermore, may export otherwise infringing products to territories in which we have patent protection that may not be sufficient to terminate infringing activities.

We do not have patent rights in certain foreign countries in which a market may exist. Moreover, in foreign jurisdictions where we do have patent rights, proceedings to enforce such rights could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business, could put our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly, and our patent applications at risk of not issuing. Additionally, such proceedings could provoke third parties to assert claims against us. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate, and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Thus, we may not be able to stop a competitor from marketing and selling in foreign countries products that are the same as or similar to our products, and our competitive position in the international market would be harmed.

We depend on certain technologies that are licensed to us. We do not control these technologies and any loss of our rights to them could prevent us from selling our products.

We are dependent on licenses from HSC Development LLC and James A. Harris, M.D. for some of our key technologies. We do not own the patents that underlie these licenses. Our rights to use the technology we license are subject to the negotiation of, continuation of and compliance with the terms of those licenses. In some cases, we do not control the prosecution, maintenance, or filing of the patents to which we hold licenses, or the enforcement of these patents against third parties. These patents and patent applications are not written by us or our attorneys, and we did not have control over the drafting and prosecution. Our licensors might not have given the same attention to the drafting and prosecution of these patents and applications as we would have if we had been the owners of the patents and applications and had control over the drafting and prosecution. We cannot be certain that drafting and/or prosecution of the licensed patents and patent applications by the licensors have been or will be conducted in compliance with applicable laws and regulations or will result in valid and enforceable patents and other intellectual property rights.

Our intellectual property agreements with third parties may be subject to disagreements over contract interpretation, which could narrow the scope of our rights to the relevant intellectual property or technology or increase our financial or other obligations to our licensors.

Certain provisions in our intellectual property agreements may be susceptible to multiple interpretations. The resolution of any contract interpretation disagreement that may arise could affect the scope of our rights to the relevant intellectual property or technology or affect financial or other obligations under the relevant agreement, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In addition, while it is our policy to require our employees and contractors who may be involved in the conception or development of intellectual property to execute agreements assigning such intellectual property to us, we may be unsuccessful in executing such an agreement with each party who in fact conceives or develops intellectual property that we regard as our own. Our assignment agreements may not be self-executing or may be breached, and we may be forced to bring claims against third parties, or defend claims they may bring against us, to determine the ownership of what we regard as our intellectual property.

We may be subject to damages resulting from claims that we or our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of our competitors or are in breach of non-competition or non-solicitation agreements with our competitors.

We could in the future be subject to claims that we or our employees have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed alleged trade secrets or other proprietary information of former employers or competitors. Although we have procedures in place that seek to prevent our employees and consultants from using the intellectual property, proprietary information, know-how or trade secrets of others in their work for us, we may in the future be subject to claims that we caused an employee to breach the terms of his or her non-competition or non-solicitation agreement, or that we or these individuals have, inadvertently or otherwise, used or disclosed the alleged trade secrets or other proprietary information of a former employer or competitor. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and could be a distraction to management. If our defense to those claims fails, in addition to paying monetary damages, a court could prohibit us from using technologies or functionalities that are essential to our products, if such technologies or functionalities are found to incorporate or be derived from the trade secrets or other proprietary information of the former employers. An inability to incorporate technologies or functionalities that are important or essential to our products would have a material adverse effect on our business and may prevent us from selling our products or from practicing our processes. In addition, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. Moreover, any such litigation or the threat thereof may adversely affect our ability to hire employees or contract with independent sales representatives. A loss of key personnel or their work product could hamper or prevent our ability to commercialize our products, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


Ifour trademarksand tradenamesare not adequatelyprotected,then we maynot be ableto buildname recognitionin our marketsof interestand our businessmaybe adverselyaffected.

We hold various trademarks for our products and services. Many of these trademarks are registered with the USPTO and corresponding government agencies in numerous other countries, and we hold trademark applications for these marks in a number of foreign countries, although the laws of many countries may not protect our trademark rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. Actions taken by us to establish and protect our trademarks might not prevent imitation of our products or services, infringement of our trademark rights by unauthorized parties or other challenges to our ownership or validity of our trademarks. If any of these events occur, we may not be able to protect and enforce our rights in these trademarks, which we need in order to build name recognition with potential partners or customers in our markets of interest. In addition, unauthorized third-parties may have registered trademarks similar and identical to our trademarks in foreign jurisdictions or may in the future file for registration of such trademarks. If they succeed in registering or developing common law rights in such trademarks, and if we were not successful in challenging such third-party rights, we may not be able to use such trademarks to market our products and services in those countries. If we are unable to register our trademarks, enforce our trademarks, or bar a third-party from registering or using a trademark, our ability to establish name recognition based on our trademarks and compete effectively in our markets of interest may be adversely affected.

If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position may be harmed.

In addition to patent and trademark protection, we also rely on trade secrets, including unpatented know-how, technology and other proprietary information, to maintain our competitive position. We seek to protect our trade secrets, in part, by entering into non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with parties who have access to them, such as our consultants and vendors, or our former or current employees. We also enter into confidentiality and invention or patent assignment agreements with our employees and consultants. Despite these efforts, however, any of these parties may breach the agreements and disclose our trade secrets and other unpatented or unregistered proprietary information, and once disclosed, we are likely to lose trade secret protection. Monitoring unauthorized uses and disclosures of our intellectual property is difficult, and we do not know whether the steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property will be effective. In addition, we may not be able to obtain adequate remedies for any such breaches. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, some courts inside and outside the U.S. are less willing or unwilling to enforce trade secret protection.

Furthermore, our competitors may independently develop knowledge, methods and know-how similar, equivalent, or superior to our proprietary technology. Competitors could purchase our products and attempt to replicate some or all of the competitive advantages we derive from our development efforts, willfully infringe our intellectual property rights, design around our protected technology, or develop their own competitive technologies that fall outside of our intellectual property rights. In addition, our key employees, consultants, suppliers or other individuals with access to our proprietary technology and know-how may incorporate that technology and know-how into projects and inventions developed independently or with third parties. As a result, disputes may arise regarding the ownership of the proprietary rights to such technology or know-how, and any such dispute may not be resolved in our favor. If any of our trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor, we would have no right to prevent them, or those to whom they communicate it, from using that technology or information to compete with us and our competitive position could be adversely affected. If our intellectual property is not adequately protected so as to protect our market against competitors’ products and methods, our competitive position could be adversely affected, as could our business.

Risks Related to Government Regulation

The ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems and our operations are subject to extensive government regulation and oversight both in the U.S. and abroad, and our failure to comply with applicable requirements could harm our business.

The ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems and related products and services are regulated as medical devices subject to extensive regulation in the U.S. and elsewhere, including by the FDA and its foreign counterparts. The FDA and foreign regulatory agencies regulate, among other things, with respect to medical devices:

design,developmentand manufacturing;

testing,labeling,contentand languageof instructionsforuse and storage;

clinicaltrials;

productsafety;

marketing,salesand distribution;

premarketclearanceand approval;

recordkeepingprocedures;

advertisingand promotion;


recallsand fieldsafetycorrectiveactions;

post-marketsurveillance,includingreportingof deathsor seriousinjuriesand malfunctionsthat,ifthey were to recur,couldleadto deathor seriousinjury;

post-marketapprovalstudies;and

productimportand export.

The regulations to which we are subject are complex and have tended to become more stringent over time. Regulatory changes could result in restrictions on our ability to carry on or expand our operations, higher than anticipated costs or lower than anticipated sales.

In the U.S., before we can market a new medical device, or a new use of, new claim for or significant modification to an existing product, we must first receive either clearance under Section 510(k) of the FDCA or approval of a PMA application from the FDA, unless an exemption applies. In the 510(k) clearance process, before a device may be marketed, the FDA must determine that a proposed device is “substantially equivalent” to a legally-marketed “predicate” device, which includes a device that has been previously cleared through the 510(k) process, a device that was legally marketed prior to May 28, 1976 (pre-amendments device), a device that was originally on the U.S. market pursuant to an approved premarket approval, or PMA, application and later down-classified, or a 510(k)-exempt device. To be “substantially equivalent,” the proposed device must have the same intended use as the predicate device, and either have the same technological characteristics as the predicate device or have different technological characteristics and not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness than the predicate device. Clinical data are sometimes required to support substantial equivalence. In the PMA process, the FDA must determine that a proposed device is safe and effective for its intended use based, in part, on extensive data, including, but not limited to, technical, pre-clinical, clinical trial, manufacturing and labeling data. The PMA process is typically required for devices that are deemed to pose the greatest risk, such as life- sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices.

Modifications to products that are approved through a PMA application generally require FDA approval. Similarly, certain modifications made to products cleared through a 510(k) may require a new 510(k) clearance. Both the PMA approval and the 510(k)-clearance process can be expensive, lengthy and uncertain. The FDA’s 510(k) clearance process usually takes from three to 12 months but can last longer. The process of obtaining a PMA is much costlier and more uncertain than the 510(k)-clearance process and generally takes from one to three years, or even longer, from the time the application is filed with the FDA. In addition, a PMA generally requires, and the 510(k)-clearance process sometimes requires, the performance of one or more clinical trials. Despite the time, effort and cost, we cannot assure you that any particular device will be approved or cleared by the FDA. Any delay or failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals could harm our business.

In the U.S., we have obtained 510(k) premarket clearance from the FDA to market the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX System for harvesting hair follicles from the scalp in men diagnosed with AGA who have black or brown straight hair. An element of our strategy is to continue to add new functionalities and enhance existing functionalities to the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems. We expect that certain modifications we may make to the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems may require new 510(k) clearance; however, future modifications may be subject to the substantially more costly, time-consuming and uncertain PMA process. If the FDA requires us to go through a lengthier, more rigorous examination for future products or modifications to existing products than we had expected, product introductions or modifications could be delayed or canceled, which could cause our sales to decline.

The FDA can delay, limit or deny clearance or approval of a device for many reasons, including:

we maynot be ableto demonstrateto theFDA’s satisfactionthattheproductor modificationis substantiallyequivalentto theproposedpredicatedeviceor safeand effectiveforitsintendeduse;

thedatafromour pre-clinicalstudiesand clinicaltrialsmaybe insufficientto supportclearanceor approval,where required;and

themanufacturingprocessor facilitieswe use maynot meetapplicablerequirements.

The FDA’s and other regulatory authorities’ policies may change, and additional government regulations may be enacted that could prevent, limit or delay regulatory approval of our products. For example, in December 2016, the 21st Century Cures Act, or Cures Act, was signed into law. The Cures Act, among other things, is intended to modernize the regulation of medical devices and spur innovation, but its ultimate implementation remains unclear. If we are slow or unable to adapt to changes in existing requirements or the adoption of new requirements or policies, or if we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we may fail to obtain any marketing clearances or approvals, lose any marketing clearance or approval that we may have obtained, and we may not achieve or sustain profitability.

Even after we have obtained the proper regulatory clearance or approval to market a product, we have ongoing responsibilities under FDA regulations. The failure to comply with applicable regulations could jeopardize our ability to sell the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems and result in enforcement actions such as:

warningletters;

fines;

injunctions;

civilpenalties;

terminationof distribution;

recallsor seizuresof products;

totalor partialsuspensionof production;

refusalto grantfutureclearancesor approvals;

in themostseriouscases,criminalpenalties.

Any of these sanctions could result in higher than anticipated costs or lower than anticipated sales and harm our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to extensive governmental regulation in foreign jurisdictions, such as Europe, and our failure to comply with applicable requirements could cause our business to suffer.

We must maintain regulatory approval in foreign jurisdictions in which we plan to market and sell the ARTAS® System.

In the European Economic Area or EEA, manufacturers of medical devices need to comply with the Essential Requirements laid down in Annex II to the EU Medical Devices Directive (Council Directive 93/42/EEC).

Compliance with these requirements is a prerequisite to be able to affix the CE mark to medical devices, without which they cannot be marketed or sold in the EEA. To demonstrate compliance with the Essential Requirements and obtain the right to affix the CE Mark, manufacturers of medical devices must undergo a conformity assessment procedure, which varies according to the type of medical device and its classification. Except for low risk medical devices (Class I with no measuring function and which are not sterile), where the manufacturer can issue an EC Declaration of Conformity based on a self-assessment of the conformity of its products with the Essential Requirements, a conformity assessment procedure requires the intervention of a Notified Body, which is an organization designated by a competent authority of an EEA country to conduct conformity assessments.


Depending on therelevantconformityassessmentprocedure,theNotifiedBody would auditand examinethe TechnicalFileand thequalitysystemforthemanufacture,designand finalinspectionof our devices.The NotifiedBody issuesa CECertificateof Conformityfollowingsuccessfulcompletionof a conformityassessment procedureconductedin relationto themedicaldeviceand itsmanufacturerand theirconformitywith the EssentialRequirements.This Certificateentitlesthemanufacturerto affixtheCEmarkto itsmedicaldevices afterhavingpreparedand signeda relatedECDeclarationof Conformity.

As a rule, demonstration of conformity of medical devices and their manufacturers with the Essential Requirements must be based, among other things, on the evaluation of clinical data supporting the safety and performance of the products during normal conditions of use. Specifically, a manufacturer must demonstrate that the device achieves its intended performance during normal conditions of use and that the known and foreseeable risks, and any adverse events, are minimized and acceptable when weighed against the benefits of its intended performance, and that any claims made about the performance and safety of the device (e.g., product labeling and instructions for use) are supported by suitable evidence. This assessment must be based on clinical data, which can be obtained from (1) clinical studies conducted on the devices being assessed, (2) scientific literature from similar devices whose equivalence with the assessed device can be demonstrated or (3) both clinical studies and scientific literature. With respect to active implantable medical devices or Class III devices, the manufacturer must conduct clinical studies to obtain the required clinical data, unless reliance on existing clinical data from equivalent devices can be justified. The conduct of clinical studies in the EEA is governed by detailed regulatory obligations. These may include the requirement of prior authorization by the competent authorities of the country in which the study takes place and the requirement to obtain a positive opinion from a competent Ethics Committee. This process can be expensive and time-consuming.

On April 5, 2017, the European Parliament passed the Medical Devices Regulation, which repeals and replaces the EU Medical Devices Directive. Unlike directives, which must be implemented into the national laws of the EEA member States, the regulations would be directly applicable, i.e., without the need for adoption of EEA member State laws implementing them, in all EEA member States and are intended to eliminate current differences in the regulation of medical devices among EEA member States. The Medical Devices Regulation, among other things, is intended to establish a uniform, transparent, predictable and sustainable regulatory framework across the EEA for medical devices and in vitro diagnostic devices and ensure a high level of safety and health while supporting innovation.

The Medical Devices Regulation will however only become applicable three years after publication. Once applicable, the new regulations will among other things:

strengthentheruleson placingdeviceson themarketand reinforcesurveillanceonce theyare available;

establishexplicitprovisionson manufacturers’responsibilitiesforthefollow-upof thequality, performanceand safetyof devicesplacedon themarket;

strengthenrulesfortheassessmentof certainhigh-riskdevices,such as implants,which mayhave to undergoan additionalcheckby expertsbeforetheyareplacedon themarket.

These modifications may have an impact on the way we conduct our business in the EEA.

We are subject to governmental regulation and other legal obligations, particularly related to privacy, data protection and information security. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our business.

We are subject to diverse laws and regulations relating to data privacy and security, including, in the United States, the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, and, in the European Union (EU) and shortly in the European Economic Area (EEA), Regulation 2016/679, known as the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR. New global privacy rules are being enacted and existing ones are being updated and strengthened. Complying with these numerous, complex and often changing regulations is expensive and difficult, and failure to comply with any privacy laws or data security laws or any security incident or breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized use or disclosure of sensitive or confidential patient or consumer information, whether by us, one of our business associates or another third-party, could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations, including but not limited to: material fines and penalties; damages; litigation; consent orders; and injunctive relief.


Furthermore, these rules are constantly changing; for example, the GDPR came into effect in May this year reforming the European regime. The GDPR implements more stringent operational requirements than its predecessor legislation. For example, the GDPR requires us to make more detailed disclosures to data subjects, requires disclosure of the legal basis on which we can process personal data, makes it harder for us to obtain valid consent for processing, provides more robust rights for data subjects, introduces mandatory data breach notification through the EU, imposes additional obligations on us when contracting with service providers and requires us to adopt appropriate privacy governance including policies, procedures, training and data audit. If we do not comply with our obligations under the GDPR, we could be exposed to fines of up to the higher of 20,000,000 Euros or up to 4% of our total worldwide annual turnover in the event of a significant breach. In addition, we may be the subject of litigation and/or adverse publicity, which could have material adverse effect on our reputation and business.

We are also subject to evolving European laws on data export and electronic marketing. The rules on data export will apply when we transfer personal data to group companies or third parties outside of the EEA. For example, in 2015, the Court of Justice of the EU ruled that the U.S.-EU Safe Harbor framework, one compliance method by which companies could transfer personal data regarding citizens of the EU to the United States, was invalid and could no longer be relied upon. The U.S.-EU Safe Harbor framework was replaced with the U.S.-EU Privacy Shield framework, which is now under review and there is currently litigation challenging another EU mechanism for adequate data transfers, the standard contractual clauses. It is uncertain whether the Privacy Shield framework and/or the standard contractual clauses will be similarly invalidated by the European courts. These changes may require us to find alternative bases for the compliant transfer of personal data from the EEA to the U.S and we are monitoring developments in this area. The EU is also in the process of replacing the e-Privacy Directive with a new set of rules taking the form of a regulation, which will be directly implemented in the laws of each European member state, without the need for further enactment. The current draft of the e-Privacy Regulation retains strict op-in for electronic marketing and the penalties for contravention have significantly increased with fining powers to the same levels as GDPR (i.e. the greater of 20,000,000 Euros or 4% of total global annual revenue).

Modifications to the ARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System and any future products that receive 510(k) clearances may require new 510(k) clearances or PMA approvals, and if we make such modifications without seeking new clearances or approvals, the FDA may require us to cease marketing or recall the modified products until clearances or approvals are obtained.

The ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems have received 510(k) clearances from the FDA. Any modification to a 510(k)-cleared device that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change in its intended use, design or manufacture, requires a new 510(k) clearance or, possibly, approval of a PMA. The FDA requires every manufacturer to make this determination in the first instance, but the FDA may review any manufacturer’s decision. The FDA may not agree with our decisions regarding whether new clearances or approvals are necessary. We have made modifications to the ARTAS® System in the past and have determined based on our review of the applicable FDA regulations and guidance that in certain instances new 510(k) clearances or PMA approvals were not required. We may make similar modifications or add additional functionalities in the future that we believe do not require a new 510(k) clearance or approval of a PMA. The FDA has issued a guidance document intended to assist manufacturers in determining whether modifications to cleared devices require the submission of a new 510(k), and such guidance has come under scrutiny in recent years, the practical impact of which is unclear. If the FDA disagrees with our determination and requires us to submit new 510(k) notifications or PMA applications for modifications to our previously cleared products for which we have concluded that new clearances or approvals are unnecessary, we may be required to cease marketing or to recall the modified product until we obtain clearance or approval, which could require us to redesign our products, conduct clinical trials to support any modifications, and pay significant regulatory fines or penalties. In addition, the FDA may not approve or clear our products for the indications that are necessary or desirable for successful commercialization or could require clinical trials to support any modifications. Any delay or failure in obtaining required clearances or approvals would adversely affect our ability to introduce new or enhanced products in a timely manner, which in turn would harm our future growth. Any of these actions would harm our operating results.

We are subject to restrictions on the indications for which we are permitted to market our products, and any violation of those restrictions, or marketing of the ARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System for off-label uses, could subject us to regulatory enforcement action.

The FDA’s 510(k) clearance for the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems specifies the cleared indication for use of the product is dissecting hair follicles from the scalp in men diagnosed with AGA who have black or brown straight hair. The ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems are intended to assist physicians in identifying and extracting hair follicular units from the scalp during hair transplantation.


We trainour marketingand directsalesforceto not promotetheARTAS®Systemor ARTAS® iX System forusesoutsideof theFDA-clearedindicationsforuse, known as “off-labeluses.”We cannot,however, preventa physicianfromusingthe ARTAS®Systemor ARTAS® iX System off-labelwhen, in thephysician’sindependentprofessionalmedicaljudgment,he or she deems itappropriate.Theremaybe increasedriskof injuryto patientsifphysiciansattemptto use theARTAS®System or ARTAS® iX System off-label.Furthermore,theuse of theARTAS®System or ARTAS® iX Systemforindicationsotherthanthoseclearedby theFDAor approvedby any foreignregulatorybody maynot effectivelytreatsuch conditions,which couldharmour reputationin themarketplaceamongphysiciansand patients.

If the FDA or any foreign regulatory body determines that our promotional materials or training constitute promotion of an off-label use, it could request that we modify our training or promotional materials or subject us to regulatory or enforcement actions, including, among other things, the issuance or imposition of an untitled letter, a warning letter, injunction, seizure, refusal to issue new 510(k)s or PMAs, withdrawal of existing 510(k)s or PMAs, refusal to grant export approvals, and civil fines or criminal penalties. It is also possible that other federal, state or foreign enforcement authorities might take action under other regulatory authority, such as false claims laws, if they consider our business activities to constitute promotion of an off-label use, which could result in significant penalties, including, but not limited to, criminal, civil and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs and the curtailment of our operations.

The ARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System may cause or contribute to adverse medical events that we are required to report to the FDA, and if we fail to do so, we would be subject to sanctions that could harm our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. The discovery of serious safety issues with the ARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System, or a recall of the ARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System either voluntarily or at the direction of the FDA or another governmental authority, could have a negative impact on us.

We are subject to the FDA’s medical device reporting regulations and similar foreign regulations. The FDA’s medical device reporting regulations require us to report to the FDA when we receive or become aware of information that reasonably suggests that the ARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that, if the malfunction were to recur, it could cause or contribute to a death or serious injury. The timing of our obligation to report is triggered by the date we become aware of the adverse event as well as the nature of the event. We may fail to report adverse events of which we become aware within the prescribed timeframe. We may also fail to recognize that we have become aware of a reportable adverse event, especially if it is not reported to us as an adverse event or if it is an adverse event that is unexpected or removed in time from the use of the ARTAS® System ARTAS® iX System, as the case may be. If we fail to comply with our reporting obligations, the FDA could act, including warning letters, untitled letters, administrative actions, criminal prosecution, imposition of civil monetary penalties, revocation of our device clearance, seizure of our products or delay in clearance of future products.

The FDA and foreign regulatory bodies have the authority to require the recall of commercialized products in the event of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture of a product or if a product poses an unacceptable risk to health. The FDA’s authority to require a recall must be based on a finding that there is reasonable probability that the device could cause serious injury or death. We may also choose to voluntarily recall a product if any material deficiency is found. A government-mandated or voluntary recall by us could occur because of an unacceptable risk to health, component failures, malfunctions, manufacturing defects, labeling or design deficiencies, packaging defects or other deficiencies or failures to comply with applicable regulations. We cannot assure you that product defects or other errors will not occur in the future. Recalls involving the ARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System could be particularly harmful to our business, financial condition and results of operations because it is our only product.

Companies are required to maintain certain records of recalls and corrections, even if they are not reportable to the FDA. We may initiate voluntary withdrawals or corrections for the ARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System in the future that we determine do not require notification of the FDA. If the FDA disagrees with our determinations, it could require us to report those actions as recalls and we may be subject to enforcement action. A future recall announcement could harm our reputation with customers, potentially lead to product liability claims against us and negatively affect our sales.


Ifwe or our distributorsdo not obtainand maintaininternationalregulatoryregistrationsor approvalsforthe ARTAS®System,our abilityto marketand sellthe ARTAS®Systemoutsideof the U.S.willbe diminished.

Sale of the ARTAS® System outside the U.S. are subject to foreign regulatory requirements that vary widely from country to country. In addition, the FDA regulates exports of medical devices from the U.S. While the regulations of some countries may not impose barriers to marketing and selling the ARTAS® System or only require notification, others require that we or our distributors obtain the approval of a specified regulatory body. Complying with foreign regulatory requirements, including obtaining registrations or approvals, can be expensive and time-consuming, and we cannot be certain that we or our distributors will receive regulatory approvals in each country in which we plan to market the ARTAS® System or that we will be able to do so on a timely basis. The time required to obtain registrations or approvals, if required by other countries, may be longer than that required for FDA clearance, and requirements for such registrations, clearances, or approvals may significantly differ from FDA requirements. If we modify the ARTAS® System, we or our distributors may need to apply for additional regulatory approvals or other authorizations before we are permitted to sell the modified product. In addition, we may not continue to meet the quality and safety standards required to maintain the authorizations that we or our distributors have received. If we or our distributors are unable to maintain our authorizations in a particular country, we will no longer be able to sell the applicable product in that country, which could harm our business.

Regulatory clearance or approval by the FDA does not ensure clearance or approval by regulatory authorities in other countries, and clearance or approval by one or more foreign regulatory authorities does not ensure clearance or approval by regulatory authorities in other foreign countries or by the FDA. However, a failure or delay in obtaining regulatory clearance or approval in one country may have a negative effect on the regulatory process in others.

We must manufacture our products in accordance with federal and state regulations, and we could be forced to recall our installed systems or terminate production if we fail to comply with these regulations.

The methods used in, and the facilities used for, the manufacture of the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems and related products must comply with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, or QSR, which is a complex regulatory scheme that covers the procedures and documentation of the design, testing, production, process controls, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, handling, storage, distribution, installation, servicing and shipping of medical devices.

Furthermore, we are required to verify that our suppliers maintain facilities, procedures and operations that comply with our quality and applicable regulatory requirements. The FDA enforces the QSR through periodic announced or unannounced inspections of medical device manufacturing facilities, which may include the facilities of subcontractors. The ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems are also subject to similar state regulations and various laws and regulations of foreign countries governing manufacturing.

We cannot guarantee that we or any subcontractors will take the necessary steps to comply with applicable regulations, which could cause delays in the delivery of the ARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System. In addition, failure to comply with applicable FDA requirements or later discovery of previously unknown problems with the ARTAS® System or ARTAS® iX System manufacturing processes could result in, among other things:

warninglettersor untitledletters;

fines,injunctionsor civilpenalties;

suspensionor withdrawalof approvalsor clearances;

seizuresor recallsof our products;

totalor partialsuspensionof productionor distribution;

administrativeor judiciallyimposedsanctions;

theFDA’s refusalto grantpendingor futureclearancesor approvalsforour products;

clinicalholds;

refusalto permittheimportor exportof our products;and

criminalprosecutionto us or our employees.

Any of these actions could significantly and negatively impact supply of our products. If any of these events occurs, our reputation could be harmed, we could be exposed to product liability claims and we could lose customers and suffer reduced revenue and increased costs.


We maybe subjectto variousfederaland statelaws pertainingto healthcarefraud and abuse, and any violationsby us of such laws could resultin finesor otherpenalties.

While procedures utilizing the ARTAS® and ARTAS® iX Systems are not currently covered or reimbursed by any third-party payor, our commercial, research and other financial relationships with healthcare providers and others may be subject to various federal and state laws intended to prevent healthcare fraud and abuse. Such laws include the U.S. federal Anti-Kickback Statute and similar laws that apply to state healthcare programs, private payors and self-pay patients; the U.S. federal civil and criminal false claims laws, such as the civil False Claims Act, and civil monetary penalties laws; state and federal data privacy and security laws and regulations; state and federal physician payment transparency laws; and state and federal consumer protection and unfair competition laws.

Further, these laws may impact any sales, marketing and education programs we currently have or may develop in the future and the way we implement any of those programs. Penalties for violations of these laws can include exclusion from federal healthcare programs and substantial civil and criminal penalties.

Recently enacted and future legislation may increase the difficulty and cost for us to sell our products.

In the U.S. and some non-U.S. jurisdictions, there have been, and we expect there will continue to be, a number of legislative and regulatory changes and proposed changes regarding the healthcare system that could, among other things, restrict or regulate post-approval activities and affect our ability to profitably sell our products. For example, in March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, collectively the Affordable Care Act, was enacted. The Affordable Care Act, imposed, among other things, an annual excise tax of 2.3% on any entity that manufactures or imports medical devices offered for sale in the U.S., which, due to subsequent legislative amendments, has been suspended from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2019, and, absent further legislative action, will be reinstated starting January 1, 2020. It is uncertain the extent to which any challenges, amendments and attempts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act in the future may impact our business or financial condition. We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may potentially increase our costs to sell our product and decrease our profitability.

Recent U.S. tax legislation and future changes to applicable U.S. or foreign tax laws and regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to income and other taxes in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Changes in laws and policy relating to taxes or trade may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, the U.S. government recently enacted significant tax reform, and certain provisions of the new law may adversely affect us. Changes include, but are not limited to, a federal corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S. international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a more generally territorial system, and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. The legislation is unclear in many respects and could be subject to potential amendments and technical corrections and will be subject to interpretations and implementing regulations by the Treasury and Internal Revenue Service, any of which could mitigate or increase certain adverse effects of the legislation. In addition, it is unclear how these U.S. federal income tax changes will affect state and local taxation. Generally, future changes in applicable U.S. or foreign tax laws and regulations, or their interpretation and application could have an adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our stock price may be volatile, and you may not be able to resell shares of our common stock at or above the price you paid.

The market price of our common stock could be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuationsorders in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include those discussed in this “Risk Factors” section and others such as:

any failure to integrate with Venus Concept following the completion of the Merger;

thecontinuedgrowth in demandfortheARTAS®Systemsand ARTASprocedures;

our commercialization,marketingand manufacturing capabilities;

thecontinuingproductivityand effectivenessof our commercialinfrastructureand salesforce;

our financialperformance;

COVID-19 developmentsand projectionsrelatingto our competitorsand our industry,includingcompeting therapiesand procedures.

In addition, the stock markets in general, and the markets for medical device and aesthetic stocks in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that may have been unrelated to the operating performance of the issuer. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price or liquidity of our common stock. In the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against the issuer. Recently, several securities class action complaints have been filed against us, certain of our current and former executive officers and directors, certain of our investors and certain underwriters in our IPO. These complaints allege violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act due to allegedly false and misleading statements made in connection with our IPO. While we believe that these lawsuits are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against these claims, we could incur substantial costs in defending these lawsuits and the attention of our management could be diverted from the operation of our business. Further, if more of our stockholders were to bring additional lawsuits on similar or unrelated grounds, we could incur substantial costs defending these additional lawsuits and the attention of our management would be further diverted from the operation of our business.

An active market for our common stock may not be maintained.

Prior to our IPO, there had been no public market for shares of our common stock. Our stock only recently began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market, but we can provide no assurance that we will be able to maintain an active trading market on the Nasdaq Global Market or any other exchange in the future. If an active market for our common stock does not developCounty or is not maintained, it may be difficult for our stockholders to sell shares without depressing the market price for the shares or at all. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares and may impair our ability to acquire other businesses, applications, or technologies using our shares as consideration.State.

If securities or industry analysts issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding our stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We currently have very limited research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no additional securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, the market price or trading volume of our stock could be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts who cover us issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding us, our business model, our intellectual property or our stock performance, or if our operating results fail to meet the expectations of analysts, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

We are an “emerging growth company” and as a result of the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, our common stock may be less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation, stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved and delayed adoption of new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.


Ifwe sellsharesof our commonstockin futurefinancings,stockholdersmayexperienceimmediatedilution and, as a result,our stockpricemaydecline.

We may from time to time issue additional shares of common stock at a discount from the current market price of our common stock. As a result, our stockholders would experience immediate dilution upon the purchase of any shares of our common stock sold at such discount. In addition, as opportunities present themselves, we may enter into financing or similar arrangements in the future, including the issuance of debt securities, preferred stock or common stock. If we issue common stock or securities convertible into common stock, our common stockholders would experience additional dilution and, as a result, our stock price may decline.

Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.

We have incurred substantial losses during our history and do not expect to become profitable in the near future, and we may never achieve profitability. To the extent that we continue to generate taxable losses, unused losses will carry forward to offset future taxable income, if any, until such unused losses expire. Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” generally defined as a greater than 50 percentage point change (by value) in its equity ownership by certain stockholders over a three-year period, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards, or NOLs, and other pre-change tax attributes (such as research and development tax credits) to offset its post-change income or taxes may be limited. We may have experienced ownership changes in the past and may experience ownership changes in the future and/or subsequent shifts in our stock ownership (some of which shifts are outside our control). As a result, if we earn net taxable income, our ability to use our pre-change NOLs to offset such taxable income could be subject to limitations. Similar provisions of state tax law may also apply. As a result, even if we attain profitability, we may be unable to use a material portion of our NOLs and other tax attributes.

Provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could discourage a takeover that stockholders may consider favorable and may lead to entrenchment of management.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that could delay or prevent changes in control or changes in our management without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions will include the following:

a classifiedboardof directorswith three-yearstaggeredterms,which maydelaytheabilityof stockholdersto changethemembershipof a majorityof our boardof directors;

no cumulativevotingin theelectionof directors,which limitstheabilityof minoritystockholdersto electdirectorcandidates;

advance notice procedures that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to our board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.

In addition, these provisions would apply even if we were to receive an offer that some stockholders may consider beneficial.


We arealsosubjectto theanti-takeoverprovisionscontainedin Section203 of theDelawareGeneral CorporationLaw. Under Section203, a corporationmaynot, in general,engagein a businesscombinationwith any holderof 15% or moreof itscapitalstockunlesstheholderhas heldthestockforthreeyearsor, amongother exceptions,theboardof directorshas approvedthetransaction.

Claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our amended and restated bylaws and our indemnification agreements that we have entered into with our directors and officers provide that:

we willindemnifyour directorsand officersforservingus in thosecapacitiesor forservingother businessenterprisesatour request,to thefullestextentpermittedby Delawarelaw. Delawarelaw providesthata corporationmayindemnifysuch personifsuch personactedin good faithand in a mannersuch personreasonablybelievedto be in or not opposed to thebestinterestsof theregistrant and, with respectto any criminalproceeding,had no reasonablecauseto believesuch person’sconduct was unlawful;

we maynot retroactivelyamendour amendedand restatedbylaw provisionsto reduceour indemnificationobligationsto directors,officers,employeesand agents.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty, any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, any action to interpret, apply, enforce, or determine the validity of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock, and, consequently, our stockholders’ ability to achieve a return on their investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.

We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. We intend to invest our future earnings, if any, to fund our growth. Therefore, our stockholders are not likely to receive any dividends on their common stock for the foreseeable future. Since we do not intend to pay dividends, our stockholders’ ability to receive a return on their investment will depend on any future appreciation in the market value of our common stock. There is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate or even maintain the price at which our stockholders have purchased it.
