Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation
Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation	Ocular Therapeutix, Inc. Notes to the Financial Statements (Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data) (Unaudited) 1. Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation Ocular Therapeutix, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on September 12, 2006 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative therapies for diseases and conditions of the eye using its proprietary bioresorbable hydrogel platform technology. The Company’s bioresorbable hydrogel-based product candidates are designed to provide sustained delivery of therapeutic agents to the eye. Since inception, the Company’s operations have been primarily focused on organizing and staffing the Company, acquiring rights to intellectual property, business planning, raising capital, developing its technology, identifying potential product candidates, undertaking preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing initial quantities of its products and product candidates and building the initial sales and marketing infrastructure for the commercialization of the Company’s approved product and product candidates. The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, compliance with government regulations, regulatory approval, uncertainty of market acceptance of products, securing reimbursement and the need to obtain additional financing. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s lead product candidates were in development. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be obtained, that any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval and adequate reimbursement or that any approved products will be commercially viable. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate significant revenue from product sales. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial competition from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. In addition, the Company is dependent upon the services of its employees and consultants. The Company may not be able to generate significant revenue from sales of any product for several years, if at all. Accordingly, the Company will need to obtain additional capital to finance its operations. Under Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), or ASC 205-40, the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As required by ASC 205-40, this evaluation shall initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued. The Company anticipates that its current capital resources will enable it to meet its anticipated operational expenses, debt service obligations and capital expenditures into the fourth quarter of calendar year 2018. The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception, and the Company expects to continue to generate operating losses in the foreseeable future. Management has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with the requirements of ASC 205-40. Management has determined that the Company’s accumulated deficit, history of losses, and future expected losses meet the ASC 205-40 standard for raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the issuance date of these financial statements. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $224,163, cash and cash equivalents of $51,165 and outstanding debt of $18,000. The Company intends to seek additional funding through public or private financings, debt financing and collaboration agreements and potential new collaborations. If the Company is unable to obtain other financing, the Company would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate its research and development programs or any future commercialization efforts or to relinquish valuable rights to its technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to the Company. The actions necessary to reduce spending under this plan at a level that mitigates the factors described above is not considered probable, as defined in the accounting standards; as such, under the requirements of ASC 205-40, the full extent to which management may extend the Company’s funds through these actions may not be considered in management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months as defined by ASC 205-40. As a result, in accordance with the requirements of ASC 205-40, management has concluded that it is required to disclose that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these financial statements are issued. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from uncertainty related to the ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Unaudited Interim Financial Information The balance sheet at December 31, 2016 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2017 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K on file with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2017 and results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the accrual of research and development expenses, including clinical trials, and the valuation of common stock and stock-based awards. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates. Fair Value Measurements Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable: · Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. · Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices) such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. · Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. The Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, were carried at fair value determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above (see Note 3). The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. The carrying value of the Company’s outstanding notes payable (see Note 8) approximates fair value reflecting interest rates currently available to the Company. Marketable Securities The Company’s marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are included as a component of other income (expense), net based on the specific identification method. Fair value is determined based on quoted market prices. At September 30, 2017, the Company held no marketable securities. At December 31, 2016, marketable securities by security type consisted of: Gross Gross Estimated Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Cost Gains Losses Value United States treasury notes $ 35,216 $ 1 $ (8) $ 35,209 Total $ 35,216 $ 1 $ (8) $ 35,209 At December 31, 2016, marketable securities consisted of investments that mature within one year. Restricted Cash The Company held two certificates of deposit totaling $1,728 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, as security deposits for the lease of the Company’s current and former corporate headquarters. The Company has classified these certificates of deposit as long-term restricted cash on its balance sheet. Segment Data The Company manages its operations as a single segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The Company’s singular focus is on advancing its bioresorbable hydrogel-based product candidates exclusively for ophthalmology. All tangible assets are held in the United States. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss includes net loss as well as other changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) that result from transactions and economic events other than those with stockholders. Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the diluted net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares, including potential dilutive common shares assuming the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, unvested restricted common shares and common stock warrants, as determined using the treasury stock method. For periods in which the Company has reported net losses, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company reported a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The following common stock equivalents outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and 2016 were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, because they had an anti-dilutive impact: As of September 30, 2017 2016 Options to purchase common stock 4,106,763 2,975,311 Warrants for the purchase of common stock 18,939 18,939 4,125,702 2,994,250 Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update became effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017 and continues to estimate forfeitures at each period. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact to the financial statements . Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Effective Date which amends ASU 2014-09. As a result, the standard effective date will be in the first quarter of 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of 2017. Subsequently, the FASB has issued the following standards related to ASU 2014-09: ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)” (“ASU 2016-08”); ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-10”); ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (“ASU 2016-12”); and ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2016-20”), which are intended to provide additional guidance and clarity to ASU 2014-09. The Company must adopt ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20 along with ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the “New Revenue Standards”). The New Revenue Standards may be applied using one of two retrospective application methods: (1) a full retrospective approach for all periods presented, or (2) a modified retrospective approach that presents a cumulative effect as of the adoption date and additional required disclosures. The Company expects to adopt the New Revenue Standards in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective approach and is in the process of completing its initial analysis identifying the revenue that will be impacted by the adoption of this new standard and the impact to its financial statements and footnote disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. This is expected to increase both reported assets and liabilities. The new lease standard does not substantially change lessor accounting. For public companies, the standard will be effective for the first interim reporting period within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, although early adoption is permitted. Lessees and lessors will be required to apply the new standard at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which they first apply the new guidance, using a modified retrospective transition method. The requirements of this standard include a significant increase in required disclosures. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its financial statements and footnote disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 is intended to clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows and to eliminate the diversity in practice related to such classifications. The guidance in ASU 2016-15 is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-15 on its statement of cash flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires a statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of- period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its financial statements and footnote disclosures . In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”), which clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. The new standard does not change the accounting for modifications but clarifies that modification accounting guidance should only be applied if the fair value, vesting conditions, or classification of the award changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. A reporting entity must apply the amendments in the ASU prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its financial statements and footnote disclosure.

The Company has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of its net deferred tax assets because, at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, it was more likely than not that any future benefit from deductible temporary differences and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards would not be realized. The Company has not recorded any amounts for unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

Collaboration and Feasibility Agreements
Collaboration and Feasibility Agreements	7. Collaboration and Feasibility Agreements In October 2016, the Company entered into a Collaboration, Option and License Agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”) with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Regeneron”) for the development and potential commercialization of products containing the Company’s extended-delivery hydrogel-based formulation in combination with Regeneron’s large molecule VEGF-targeting compounds for the treatment of retinal diseases. The Collaboration Agreement does not cover the development of any products that deliver small molecule drugs, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors, or TKIs, or deliver large molecule drugs other than those that target VEGF proteins. Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, the Company and Regeneron have agreed to conduct a joint research program with the aim of developing an extended-delivery formulation of aflibercept, currently marketed under the tradename Eylea, that is suitable for advancement into clinical development. The Company has granted Regeneron an option (the “Option”) to enter into an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize products containing the Company’s extended-delivery hydrogel-based formulation in combination with Regeneron’s large molecule VEGF-targeting compounds (“Licensed Products”). If the Option is exercised, Regeneron will conduct further preclinical development and an initial clinical trial under a collaboration plan. The Company is obligated to reimburse Regeneron for certain development costs incurred by Regeneron under the collaboration plan during the period through the completion of the initial clinical trial, subject to a cap of $25,000, which cap may be increased by up to $5,000 under certain circumstances. If Regeneron elects to proceed with further development following the completion of the collaboration plan, it will be solely responsible for conducting and funding further development and commercialization of product candidates. If the Option is exercised, Regeneron is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to research, develop and commercialize at least one Licensed Product. Such efforts shall include initiating the dosing phase of a subsequent clinical trial within specified time periods following the completion of the first-in-human clinical trial or the initiation of preclinical toxicology studies, subject to certain extensions. Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, Regeneron has agreed to pay the Company $10,000 upon the exercise of the Option. The Company is also eligible to receive up to $145,000 per Licensed Product upon the achievement of specified development and regulatory milestones, $100,000 per Licensed Product upon first commercial sale of such Licensed Product and up to $50,000 based on the achievement of specified sales milestones for all Licensed Products. In addition, the Company is entitled to tiered, escalating royalties, in a range from a high-single digit to a low-to-mid teen percentage of net sales of Licensed Products. The Company had a feasibility agreement with a biotechnology company which it entered into in 2014. Under this agreement, the biotechnology company would pay up to $700, of which $250 was a non-refundable payment due upon contract execution and $450 was due upon the achievement of certain milestones. The Company recognized the total expected payments under the contract which included only the non-refundable payments on a straight-line basis over the estimated performance period. When a contingent milestone payment was earned, the additional consideration to be received was added to the total expected payments under the contract then recognized over the estimated performance period. In January 2015, the first milestone under the feasibility agreement was achieved triggering a non-refundable payment due of $250 such that the total non-refundable payments that were recognized over the estimated performance period totaled $500. This agreement was terminated in the second quarter of 2016 and the Company does not have any further obligations. The Company recognized no revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company recognized no revenue and $42 of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, the Company had no deferred revenue and no accounts receivable with respect to this agreement.

Notes Payable	8. Notes Payable The Company has outstanding borrowings under a credit and security agreement entered into in 2014 and amended in December 2015, June 2016, and March 2017 (the “Amended Credit Facility”) totaling $18,000, which is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s personal property, other than its intellectual property. The $18,000 of borrowings were drawn at the closing of the March 2017 amendment, which was used primarily to pay-off outstanding balances on the facility as of the amendment date of $14,300, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $3,700. The Amended Credit Facility also includes options on two additional tranches of $10,000, each contingent upon the achievement by the Company of regulatory and commercial milestones related to DEXTENZA, providing for a total commitment under the Amended Credit Facility of $38,000. The Company is obligated to make interest-only payments under the Amended Credit Facility until February 1, 2018, and thereafter is required to make monthly principal and interest payments through December 1, 2020. The interest-only period may also be extended based on the Company’s achievement of certain milestones. Amounts borrowed under the Amended Credit Facility are at LIBOR base rate, subject to 1.00% floor, plus 7.25% with an indicative interest rate of 8.25% as of the amendment date. In addition, a final payment equal to 3.5% of amounts drawn under the Amended Credit Facility is due upon the maturity date of December 1, 2020. There are no financial covenants associated with the Amended Credit Facility; however, there are negative covenants restricting the Company’s activities, including limitations on dispositions, mergers or acquisitions; encumbering its intellectual property; incurring indebtedness or liens; paying dividends; making certain investments; and engaging in certain other business transactions. The obligations under the Amended Credit Facility are subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of specified events of default, including a material adverse change in the Company’s business, operations or financial or other condition. The Company accounted for the amendment of the Amended Credit Facility as a modification in accordance with the guidance in ASC 470-50, Debt. Amounts paid to the lenders were recorded as debt discount and a new effective interest rate was established. The effective annual interest rate of the outstanding debt under the Amended Credit Facility is 10.5%. As of September 30, 2017, the annual repayment requirements for the Amended Credit Facility, inclusive of the final payment of $630 due at expiration, were as follows: Interest and Final Year Ending December 31, Principal Payment Total 2017 — 375 375 2018 5,658 1,308 6,966 2019 6,171 796 6,967 2020 6,171 911 7,082 $ 18,000 $ 3,390 $ 21,390

Future minimum lease payments as of September 30, 2017 for its operating leases are as follows: Year Ending December 31, 2017 $ 423 2018 1,461 2019 1,235 2020 1,270 2021 1,305 Thereafter 7,940 Total $ 13,634 During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized $366 and $194, respectively, of rental expense, related to its office, laboratory and manufacturing space and office equipment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized $1,327 and $582, respectively, of rental expense, related to its office, laboratory and manufacturing space and office equipment. In June 2016, the Company entered into a lease agreement for approximately 70,712 square feet of general office, research and development and manufacturing space in Bedford, Massachusetts. The lease term commenced on February 1, 2017 and will expire on July 31, 2027. The Company relocated its corporate headquarters to the new leased premises during June 2017 and is evaluating the potential relocation of its manufacturing operations to the new leased premises. No base rent was due under the lease until August 1, 2017. The initial annual base rent is approximately $1,200 and will increase annually beginning on February 1 of each year. The Company is obligated to pay all real estate taxes and costs related to the premises, including costs of operations, maintenance, repair, and replacement and management of the new leased premises. The Company posted a customary letter of credit in the amount of approximately $1,500 as a security deposit. The lease agreement allows for a landlord provided construction allowance not to exceed approximately $2,800 to be applied to the total construction costs of the new leased premises. The construction allowance must be used on or before December 31, 2017, or it will be deemed forfeited with no further obligation by the landlord of the new leased premises. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has billed the landlord for $2,668 and received payments of $2,620 from the landlord. Build out costs being reimbursed under the tenant improvement allowance have been recorded as deferred rent and will be amortized as a deduction to rent expense over the lease term. Intellectual Property Licenses The Company has a license agreement with Incept, LLC (“Incept”) (Note 13) to use and develop certain patent rights (the “Incept License”). Under the Incept License, as amended and restated, the Company was granted a worldwide, perpetual, exclusive license to develop and commercialize products that are delivered to or around the human eye for diagnostic, therapeutic or prophylactic purposes relating to ophthalmic diseases or conditions. The Company is obligated to pay low single-digit royalties on net sales of commercial products developed using the licensed technology, commencing with the date of the first commercial sale of such products and until the expiration of the last to expire of the patents covered by the license. Any of the Company’s sublicensees also will be obligated to pay Incept a royalty equal to a low single-digit percentage of net sales made by it and will be bound by the terms of the agreement to the same extent as the Company. The Company is obligated to reimburse Incept for its share of the reasonable fees and costs incurred by Incept in connection with the prosecution of the patent applications licensed to the Company under the Incept License. Through September 30, 2017, royalties paid under this agreement related to product sales were $138 and have been charged to cost of product revenue. Indemnification Agreements In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to vendors, lessors, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors and senior management team that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any claims under indemnification arrangements will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and it has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its financial statements as of December 31, 2016 or September 30, 2017. Purchase Commitments Purchase commitments represent non-cancelable contractual commitments associated with certain clinical trial activities within the Company’s clinical research organization. Manufacturing Commitments Manufacturing contracts generally provide for termination on notice, and therefore are cancelable contracts but are contracts that the Company is likely to continue, regardless of the fact that they are cancelable. Collaboration Agreement In October 2016, the Company entered into a Collaboration Agreement with Regeneron (Note 6). If the Option to enter into an exclusive worldwide license is exercised, Regeneron will conduct further preclinical development and an initial clinical trial under a collaboration plan. The Company is obligated to reimburse Regeneron for certain development costs incurred by Regeneron under the collaboration plan during the period through the completion of the initial clinical trial, subject to a cap of $25,000, which cap may be increased by up to $5,000 under certain circumstances, the timing of such payments is not known. If Regeneron elects to proceed with further development following the completion of the collaboration plan, it will be solely responsible for conducting and funding further development and commercialization of product candidates. If the Option is exercised, Regeneron is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to research, develop and commercialize at least one Licensed Product. Such efforts shall include initiating the dosing phase of a subsequent clinical trial within specified time periods following the completion of the first-in-human clinical trial or the initiation of preclinical toxicology studies, subject to certain extensions. Through September 30, 2017, the Option has not been exercised and no payments have been made to Regeneron. Legal Proceedings On July 7, 2017, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former executive officers in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, captioned Thomas Gallagher v. Ocular Therapeutix, Inc, et al. , Case No. 2:17-cv-05011. The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of shareholders who purchased the Company’s common stock between May 5, 2017 and July 6, 2017. The complaint generally alleges that the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former officers violated Sections 10(b) and/or 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making allegedly false and/or misleading statements concerning the Form 483 issued by the FDA related to DEXTENZA and the Company’s manufacturing operations for DEXTENZA. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, attorneys’ fees, and other costs. On July 14, 2017, an amended complaint was filed; the amended complaint purports to be brought on behalf of shareholders who purchased the Company’s common stock between May 5, 2017 and July 11, 2017, and otherwise includes allegations similar to those made in the original complaint. On July 12, 2017, a second putative class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former executive officers in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, captioned Dylan Caraker v. Ocular Therapeutix, Inc, et al. , Case No. 2:17-cv-05095. The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of shareholders who purchased the Company’s common stock between May 5, 2017 and July 6, 2017. The complaint includes allegations similar to those made in the Gallagher complaint, and seeks similar relief. On August 3, 2017, a third putative class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former executive officers in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, captioned Shawna Kim v. Ocular Therapeutix, Inc, et al. , Case No. 2:17-cv-05704. The complaint purports to be brought on behalf of shareholders who purchased the Company’s common stock between March 10, 2016 and July 11, 2017. The complaint includes allegations similar to those made in the Gallagher complaint, and seeks similar relief. On October 27, 2017, a magistrate judge for the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey granted the defendants’ motion to transfer the above-referenced Gallagher, Caraker, and Kim litigations to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. On November 2, 2017, the Caraker lawsuit was transferred to the United States District Court of Massachusetts. The Company expects the Gallagher and Kim litigations to be transferred in the near future. On July 11, 2017, a purported shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed against the Company, certain of the Company’s current and former executive officers, certain current and former board members, and the Company as a nominal defendant, in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, captioned Robert Corwin v. Sawhney et al. , Case No. 1:17-cv-11270. The complaint generally alleges that the individual defendants breached fiduciary duties owed to the Company by making allegedly false and/or misleading statements concerning the Form 483 related to DEXTENZA and the Company’s manufacturing operations for DEXTENZA. The complaint purports to assert claims against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, and seeks to recover on behalf of the Company for any liability the Company incurs as a result of the individual defendants’ alleged misconduct. The complaint also seeks contribution on behalf of the Company from all individual defendants for their alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint seeks declaratory, equitable and monetary relief, an unspecified amount of damages, with interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On September 20, 2017, counsel for the plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal, stating that the plaintiff wishes to coordinate his efforts and proceed in a consolidated fashion with the plaintiff in a similar derivative suit that was pending in the Superior Court of Suffolk County of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts captioned Angel Madera v. Sawhney et al. , Case. No. 17-2273 (which is discussed in the paragraph immediately below), and intends to do so by filing an action in that court subsequent to the dismissal of this lawsuit. The Corwin lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice on September 21, 2017. On October 24, 2017, the plaintiff filed a new derivative complaint in Massachusetts Superior Court (Suffolk County), captioned Robert Corwin v. Sawney et al. , Case No. 17-3425 (BLS2). The new Corwin complaint includes allegations similar to those made in the federal court complaint, and asserts a derivative claim for breach of fiduciary duty against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The complaint also asserts an unjust enrichment claim against two additional defendants, SV Life Sciences Fund IV, LP and SV Life Sciences Fund IV Strategic Partners LP. The complaint also names the Company as a nominal defendant. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this matter. On July 19, 2017, a second purported shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed against the Company, certain of the Company’s current and former executive officers, all current board members, one former board member, and the Company as a nominal defendant, in the Superior Court of Suffolk County of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, captioned Angel Madera v. Sawhney et al. , Case. No. 17-2273. The complaint includes allegations similar to those made in the Corwin complaint. The complaint purports to assert derivative claims against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets, and seeks to recover on behalf of the Company for any liability the Company incurs as a result of the individual defendants’ alleged misconduct. The complaint seeks declaratory, equitable and monetary relief, an unspecified amount of damages, with interest, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On November 6, 2017, the court dismissed this action without prejudice due to plaintiff’s failure to complete service of process within the time permitted under applicable court rules. The Company denies any allegations of wrongdoing and intends to vigorously defend against these lawsuits. The Company is unable, however, to predict the outcome of these matters at this time. Moreover, any conclusion of these matters in a manner adverse to the Company and for which it incurs substantial costs or damages not covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and business. In addition, the litigation could adversely impact the Company’s reputation and divert management’s attention and resources from other priorities, including the execution of business plans and strategies that are important to the Company’s ability to grow the Company’s business, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

During 2015, the Company identified that it did not appropriately adjust the base salary to reflect this reduction. As a result, the Company paid the full base salary for 2015. Upon discovery of the error, the then-CEO promptly repaid the full $250 to the Company on April 1, 2016. The Company recorded a reduction to payroll expense in the first quarter of 2016. The effect of this error on the statement of operations was considered immaterial for all related periods. In March 2016, the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement with Axtria, Inc. (“Axtria”). In March 2016, the Company entered into a statement of work totaling approximately $104 under which Axtria would provide certain sales and marketing analytics to the Company.

The Second Amendment extends the term of the Lease for 36 Crosby Drive from June 30, 2018 to July 31, 2023. Further, the Second Amendment acknowledges that the Company has previously vacated and surrendered, and the Lease has expired with regards to, 34 Crosby Drive, reducing the total laboratory and manufacturing space subject to the Lease to 20,445 square feet. Accordingly, the Second Amendment reduces the Company’s required security deposit under the Lease from $228 to $114. Under the Second Amendment, the annual base rent for 36 Crosby Drive shall be approximately $524 until June 30, 2018, shall be $0 from July 1, 2018 to July 31, 2018, and shall be approximately $544 from August 1, 2018 to July 31, 2019. The annual base rent shall increase annually thereafter. The Second Amendment also provides the Company a one-time option to terminate the Lease on July 31, 2021, upon the Company’s delivery to the Landlord on or before July 31, 2020 of a termination notice and the payment to the Landlord of a termination fee of approximately $273. On October 13, 2017, the Company entered into a transition, separation and release of claims agreement (the “Fortune Transition Agreement”) with James Fortune, pursuant to which Mr. Fortune has resigned from his role as Chief Operating Officer and any and all other positions he holds as an officer or employee of the Company, effective December 31, 2017, or such earlier date as may be mutually agreed upon by Mr. Fortune and the Company (the “Separation Date”). Pursuant to the Fortune Transition Agreement, effective as of October 13, 2017, the Employment Agreement, by and between the Company and Mr. Fortune, dated June 19, 2014, was terminated. Under the Fortune Transition Agreement, Mr. Fortune will be entitled to separation benefits in the form of (i) the continuation of his base salary for twelve months after the Separation Date in the same amount in effect as of the October 13, 2017 and (ii) the payment of monthly premiums for healthcare and/or dental coverage at the same rate that is in effect on the Separation Date until the earlier of twelve months from the Separation Date or the date Mr. Fortune becomes eligible to receive such benefits under another employer’s benefit plan. Should any annual bonus payments be made to active Company executives for the calendar year 2017, Mr. Fortune will also be eligible to receive a bonus payment in such amount, if any, he would have received had he remained employed with the Company through the date of such bonus payments.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the accrual of research and development expenses, including clinical trials, and the valuation of common stock and stock-based awards. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable: · Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. · Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices) such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. · Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. The Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, were carried at fair value determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above (see Note 3). The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. The carrying value of the Company’s outstanding notes payable (see Note 8) approximates fair value reflecting interest rates currently available to the Company.
Marketable Securities	Marketable Securities The Company’s marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are included as a component of other income (expense), net based on the specific identification method. Fair value is determined based on quoted market prices. At September 30, 2017, the Company held no marketable securities. At December 31, 2016, marketable securities by security type consisted of: Gross Gross Estimated Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Cost Gains Losses Value United States treasury notes $ 35,216 $ 1 $ (8) $ 35,209 Total $ 35,216 $ 1 $ (8) $ 35,209 At December 31, 2016, marketable securities consisted of investments that mature within one year.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash The Company held two certificates of deposit totaling $1,728 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, as security deposits for the lease of the Company’s current and former corporate headquarters. The Company has classified these certificates of deposit as long-term restricted cash on its balance sheet.
Segment Data	Segment Data The Company manages its operations as a single segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The Company’s singular focus is on advancing its bioresorbable hydrogel-based product candidates exclusively for ophthalmology. All tangible assets are held in the United States.
Comprehensive Loss	Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss includes net loss as well as other changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) that result from transactions and economic events other than those with stockholders.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share	Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the diluted net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares, including potential dilutive common shares assuming the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, unvested restricted common shares and common stock warrants, as determined using the treasury stock method. For periods in which the Company has reported net losses, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company reported a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The following common stock equivalents outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and 2016 were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, because they had an anti-dilutive impact: As of September 30, 2017 2016 Options to purchase common stock 4,106,763 2,975,311 Warrants for the purchase of common stock 18,939 18,939 4,125,702 2,994,250
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this update became effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017 and continues to estimate forfeitures at each period. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact to the financial statements . Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Effective Date which amends ASU 2014-09. As a result, the standard effective date will be in the first quarter of 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of 2017. Subsequently, the FASB has issued the following standards related to ASU 2014-09: ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)” (“ASU 2016-08”); ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-10”); ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (“ASU 2016-12”); and ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2016-20”), which are intended to provide additional guidance and clarity to ASU 2014-09. The Company must adopt ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20 along with ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the “New Revenue Standards”). The New Revenue Standards may be applied using one of two retrospective application methods: (1) a full retrospective approach for all periods presented, or (2) a modified retrospective approach that presents a cumulative effect as of the adoption date and additional required disclosures. The Company expects to adopt the New Revenue Standards in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective approach and is in the process of completing its initial analysis identifying the revenue that will be impacted by the adoption of this new standard and the impact to its financial statements and footnote disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. This is expected to increase both reported assets and liabilities. The new lease standard does not substantially change lessor accounting. For public companies, the standard will be effective for the first interim reporting period within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, although early adoption is permitted. Lessees and lessors will be required to apply the new standard at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which they first apply the new guidance, using a modified retrospective transition method. The requirements of this standard include a significant increase in required disclosures. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its financial statements and footnote disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 is intended to clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows and to eliminate the diversity in practice related to such classifications. The guidance in ASU 2016-15 is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-15 on its statement of cash flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires a statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of- period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its financial statements and footnote disclosures . In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”), which clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. The new standard does not change the accounting for modifications but clarifies that modification accounting guidance should only be applied if the fair value, vesting conditions, or classification of the award changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. A reporting entity must apply the amendments in the ASU prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its financial statements and footnote disclosure.
