ALPHATEC HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

The Company

Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiary, Alphatec Spine, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Alphatec Spine”), is a medical technology company focused on the design, development and promotion of products for the surgical treatment of spine disorders. The Company has a comprehensive product portfolio and pipeline that addresses the cervical, thoracolumbar and intervertebral regions of the spine and covers a variety of spinal disorders and surgical procedures. The Company’s principal product offerings are focused on the U.S. market for fusion-based spinal disorder solutions.

Prior to September 1, 2016, the Company marketed its products in the U.S. market and in over 50 international markets through the distribution channels of Alphatec Spine and its affiliate, Scient’x S.A.S., and its subsidiaries (“Scient’x”), via a direct sales force in Italy and the United Kingdom and via independent distributors in the rest of Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In South America and Latin America, the Company conducted its operations through its Brazilian subsidiary, Cibramed Productos Medicos. In Japan, the Company marketed its products through its subsidiary, Alphatec Pacific, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

On September 1, 2016, the Company completed the sale of its international distribution operations and agreements to Globus Medical Ireland, Ltd., a subsidiary of Globus Medical, Inc., and its affiliated entities (collectively “Globus”), including the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries in Japan, Brazil, Australia and Singapore and substantially all of the assets of the Company’s other sales operations in the United Kingdom and Italy (collectively, the “International Business”), pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement, dated as of July 25, 2016 (as amended, the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) (the “Globus Transaction”). As a result of the Globus Transaction, the Company's International Business has been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented in this report and is reported as discontinued operations. See Note 4 for additional information on the divestiture of the International Business. The Company operates in one reportable business segment.  The sale of the international operations represents a strategic shift and has a significant impact on the Company's operations and financial results.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) related to a quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are adequate to make the information not misleading. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 that was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017, or any other future periods.

On August 24, 2016, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the state of Delaware to effectuate a 1-for-12 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto give retrospective effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented. All issued and outstanding common stock, options exercisable for common stock, warrants exercisable for common stock, restricted stock units, and per share amounts contained in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split for all periods presented.

8


As a result of the sale of the International Business, the Company has retrospectively revised the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016, to reflect the financial results from the International Business, and the related assets and liabilities, as discontinued operations.

The Company’s Board approved annual operating plan projects that its existing working capital at March 31, 2017 of $39.1 million (including cash of $25.5 million), allows the Company to fund its operations through one year subsequent to the date the financial statements are issued.

The Company has incurred significant net losses since inception and has relied on its ability to fund its operations through revenues from the sale of its products, equity financings and debt financings. As the Company has historically incurred losses, successful transition to profitability is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. This may not occur and, unless and until it does, the Company will continue to need to raise additional capital.  Operating losses and negative cash flows may continue for at least the next year as the Company continues to incur costs related to the execution of its operating plan and introduction of new products.  

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. A going concern basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on March 30, 2017. Except as discussed below, these accounting policies have not significantly changed during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

Warrant Accounting

As more fully described in Note 10, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common st ock in connection with a private placement transaction that closed on March 29, 2017.  These warrants contain a feature that could require the transfer of cash in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in such warrants (other than a Fundamental Transaction not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors).  The warrant holders do not control the Company’s Board of Directors, and therefore, since potential future cash settlement is deemed to be within the Company’s control, the warrants are classified in stockholder’s equity in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This new standard replaces all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminates all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance, including all subsequent clarifications, is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company performed a preliminary assessment of the impact of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements, and considered all items outlined in the standard. In assessing the impact, the Company has outlined all revenue generating activities, mapped those activities to performance obligations and traced those performance obligations to the standard. The Company is now assessing what impact the change in standard will have on those performance obligations. The Company will continue to evaluate the future impact and method of adoption of the new standard and related amendments on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures throughout 2017. The Company will adopt the new standard beginning January 1, 2018.

In July 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value for entities that do not measure inventory using the last-in, first-out or retail inventory method. The guidance also eliminates the requirement for these entities to consider replacement cost or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. The guidance

9


is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted the standard for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2017.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, which changes several aspects of the accounting for leases, including the requirement that all leases with durations greater than twelve months be recognized on the balance sheet. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on its financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, which changes several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including accounting and cash flow classification for excess tax benefits and deficiencies, forfeitures, and tax withholding requirements and cash flow classification. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted the standard for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2017.

In August 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, which eliminates the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, unless deemed impracticable, in which case, prospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has not determined the impact this standards update may have on its financial statements.

4. Discontinued Operations

In order to pay down a portion of its debt and improve its liquidity position and future cash flows, on September 1, 2016, the Company closed the Globus Transaction (described in Note 1). Following the closing of the Globus Transaction, the Company only sells its products in the U.S. market and is prohibited from marketing and selling its products outside the United States and its possessions and territories until the date that is two years following the termination of the Supply Agreement (as described below). As a result of the Globus Transaction, the Company has retrospectively revised the condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 to reflect the financial results from the International Business as discontinued operations.

At the closing of the Globus Transaction, Globus paid the Company $80 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment. On September 1, 2016, the Company used approximately $66 million of the consideration received to (i) repay in full all amounts outstanding and due under the Company’s Facility Agreement between the Company and Deerfield Private Design Fund II, L.P., Deerfield Private Design International II, L.P., Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P. and Deerfield Special Situations International Master Fund, L.P., dated as of March 17, 2014, as amended to date (the “Deerfield Facility Agreement”) and (ii) repay certain of its outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s Amended Credit Facility with MidCap (described in Note 6), in each case, including debt-related costs. Also on September 1, 2016, the Company entered into a five-year term credit, security and guaranty agreement with Globus (the “Globus Facility Agreement”), as further described in Note 6, pursuant to which Globus agreed to loan the Company up to $30 million, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Globus Facility Agreement.

The Company is evaluating certain income tax related items that are pending final resolution.

The results of operations from discontinued operations presented below include certain allocations that management believes fairly reflect the utilization of services provided to the International Business. The allocations do not include amounts related to general corporate administrative expenses. Therefore, the results of operations from the International Business do not necessarily reflect what the results of operations would have been had the International Business operated as a stand-alone entity.

12


In connection with the Globus Transaction, the Company entered into a produ ct manufacture and supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) with Globus, pursuant to which the Company agreed to supply to Globus certain of its implants and instruments (the “Products”), previously offered for sale by the Company in international markets at agreed-upon prices for a minimum term of three years, with the option for Globus to extend the term for up to two additional twelve month periods subject to Globus meeting specified purchase requirements. In accordance with authoritative guidance, cert ain intercompany sales transactions have been reported under continuing operations as the Company will have continuing involvement due to future sales to Globus under the Supply Agreement. In connection with the Globus Transaction, Globus received a credit of up to $1.9 million to be applied against Product purchases pursuant to the Supply Agreement during a six-month period commencing one month after the closing of the Globus Transaction, which has been included as a reduction of the consideration received for the sale of the International Business and will be recognized as revenue upon fulfillment by the Company of product purchases by Globus.

The agreements entered into concurrently with the sale of the International Business, including the Transition Services Agreement and Supply Agreement, contain various elements and, as such, are deemed to be an arrangement with multiple deliverables as defined under authoritative accounting guidance. Several non-contingent deliverables were identified within the agreements. The Company identified the International Business, contract supply services, transition services and the Globus Facility as separate non-contingent deliverables within the arrangement.  The Company determined the estimated selling price (fair value) for each of the non-contingent deliverables on a standalone basis by utilizing relevant market data and entity-specific factors.  Based on the respective standalone fair values of the deliverables, there was no discount to allocate among the deliverables and the consideration received for each deliverable approximated standalone fair value.  As such, none of the purchase consideration was allocated to these elements.

Included in the results of continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are revenues of $5.0 million and cost of revenue of $4.0 million, respectively, that represent intercompany transactions that, prior to the Globus Transaction, were eliminated in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded $4.5 million in revenue and $3.8 million in cost of sales from the Supply Agreement that are included in the continuing operations.

13


In connection with the Globus Transaction, the Company included the interest expense of $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 incurred in connection with repayment from the proceeds from the Globus Transaction of all amounts outstanding and due under the Deerfield Facility Agreement and Amended Credit Faci lity in the loss from discontinued operations to the extent these debt facilities were repaid using the proceeds from the Globus Transaction.

5. License and Consulting Agreements

The Company’s license and consulting agreements are described in Note 5 to its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, which are included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017.

6. Debt

MidCap Facility Agreement

The Company has a credit facility with MidCap Funding IV, LLC (“MidCap”), as amended to date (the “Amended Credit Facility”), that provides for a revolving credit commitment up to $22.5 million and a  term loan commitment up to $5 million.  As of March 31, 2017, $10.3 million was outstanding under the revolving line of credit and $4.2 million was outstanding under the term loan.

The term loan interest rate is priced at the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 8.0%, subject to a 9.5% floor, and the revolving line of credit interest rate remains priced at LIBOR plus 6.0%, reset monthly. At March 31, 2017, the revolving line of credit carried an interest rate of 6.8% and the term loan carries an interest rate of 9.5%. The borrowing base is determined, from time to time, based on the value of domestic eligible accounts receivable and domestic eligible inventory. As collateral for the Amended Credit Facility, the Company granted MidCap a security interest in substantially all of its assets, including all accounts receivable and all securities evidencing its interests in its subsidiaries. In addition to monthly payments of interest, monthly repayments of $0.2 million in 2017 and $0.3 million in 2018 through maturity are due, with the remaining principal due upon maturity. At March 31, 2017, $1.9 million remains as unamortized debt discount related to the Amended Credit Facility within the condensed consolidated balance sheet, which will be amortized over the remaining term of the Amended Credit Facility.

On March 30, 2017, the Company entered into a sixth amendment to the Amended Credit Facility with MidCap (the “Sixth Amendment”).  The Sixth Amendment extend the date that the financial covenants of the Amended Credit Facility are effective from April 2017 to April 2018.

The Amended Credit Facility includes traditional lending and reporting covenants including a fixed charge coverage ratio to be maintained by the Company. The Amended Credit Facility also includes several event of default provisions, such as payment default, insolvency conditions and a material adverse effect clause, which could cause interest to be charged at a rate which is up to five percentage points above the rate effective immediately before the event of default or result in MidCap’s right to declare all outstanding obligations immediately due and payable. The financial covenants of the Amended Credit Facility are not effective until April 2018. There is no assurance that the Company will be in compliance with the financial covenants of the Amended Credit Facility in the future.

Globus Facility Agreement

On September 1, 2016, the Company and Globus entered into the Globus Facility Agreement, pursuant to which Globus agreed to loan the Company up to $30 million, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Globus Facility Agreement. At the closing of the Globus Transaction, the Company made an initial draw of $25 million under the Globus Facility Agreement with an additional draw of $5 million made in the fourth quarter of 2016.  As of March 31, 2017, the outstanding balance under the Globus Facility Agreement was $30.0 million, which becomes due and payable in quarterly payments of $0.8 million starting in September 2018, with a final payment of the remaining amount outstanding due on September 1, 2021.  The term loan interest rate is priced at LIBOR plus 8.0% through September 1, 2018, and LIBOR plus

15


13.0%, thereafter.  At March 31, 2017, unamortized debt discount related to the Globus Facility Agreement within the condensed consolidated balance sh eet was $1.0 million.

On March 30, 2017, the Company entered into a first amendment to the Globus Facility Agreement with Globus (the “Globus First Amendment”).  The Globus First Amendment extended the date that the financial covenants of the Globus Facility Agreement are effective from April 2017 to April 2018.

As collateral for the Globus Facility Agreement, the Company granted Globus a first lien security interest in substantially all of its assets, other than accounts receivable and related assets, which will secure the Globus Facility Agreement on a second lien basis. The Globus Facility Agreement includes traditional lending and reporting covenants including a fixed charge coverage ratio to be maintained by the Company. The financial covenants of the Globus Facility Agreement are not effective until April 2018. There is no assurance that the Company will be in compliance with the financial covenants of the Globus Facility Agreement in the future. The Globus Facility Agreement also includes several event of default provisions, such as payment default, insolvency conditions and a material adverse effect clause, which could cause interest to be charged at a rate which is up to five percentage points above the rate effective immediately before the event of default or result in Globus’s right to declare all outstanding obligations immediately due and payable.

Litigation

The Company is and may become involved in various legal proceedings arising from its business activities. While management is not aware of any litigation matter that in and of itself would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and depending on the nature and timing of a proceeding, an unfavorable resolution could materially affect the Company’s future consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a particular period.  The Company assesses contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual or disclosure in the Company's consolidated financial statements. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. When evaluating contingencies, the Company may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and/or the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matters. In addition, damage amounts claimed in litigation against the Company may be unsupported, exaggerated or unrelated to reasonably possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of the Company’s potential liability.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements under which it occasionally indemnifies third-parties for intellectual property infringement claims or claims arising from breaches of representations or warranties. In addition, from time to time, the Company provides indemnity protection to third-parties for claims relating to past performance arising from undisclosed liabilities, product liabilities, environmental obligations, representations and warranties, and other claims. In these agreements, the scope and amount of remedy, or the period in which claims can be made, may be limited. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of future payments, if any, due under these indemnities due to the conditional nature of the obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each agreement.

Royalties

The Company has entered into various intellectual property agreements requiring the payment of royalties based on the sale of products that utilize such intellectual property. These royalties primarily relate to products sold by Alphatec Spine and are calculated either as a percentage of net sales or in one instance on a per-unit sold basis. Royalties are included on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations as a component of cost of revenues.

8. Orthotec Settlement

On September 26, 2014, the Company entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement, dated as of August 13, 2014, by and among the Company and its direct subsidiaries, including Alphatec Spine, Inc., Alphatec Holdings International C.V., Scient'x S.A.S. and Surgiview S.A.S.; HealthpointCapital, LLC, HealthpointCapital Partners, L.P., HealthpointCapital Partners II, L.P., John H. Foster and Mortimer Berkowitz III; and Orthotec, LLC and Patrick Bertranou, (the “Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Orthotec, LLC $49.0 million in cash, including initial cash payments totaling $1.75 million, which the Company previously paid in March 2014, and an additional lump sum payment of $15.75 million, which the Company previously paid in April 2014. The Company agreed to pay the remaining $31.5 million in 28 quarterly installments of $1.1 million and one additional quarterly installment of $0.7 million, commencing October 1, 2014.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company has made installment payments in the aggregate of $28.5 million, with a remaining outstanding balance of $29.3 million. The Company has the right to prepay the amounts due without penalty. In addition, the unpaid balance of the amounts due accrues interest at the rate of 7% per year beginning May 15, 2014 until the amounts due are paid in full. The accrued but unpaid interest will be paid in quarterly installments of $1.1 million (or the full amount of the accrued but unpaid interest if less than $1.1 million) following the full payment of the $31.5 million in quarterly installments described above. No interest will accrue on the accrued interest. The Settlement Agreement provided for mutual releases of all claims in the Orthotec, LLC v. Surgiview, S.A.S, et al. matter in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County and all other related litigation matters involving the Company and its directors and affiliates.

9. Net Los s Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average number of dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of this calculation, common stock subject to repurchase by the Company, options, performance-based restricted stock units and warrants are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share when their effect is dilutive.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for continuing and discontinued operations (in thousands, except per share amounts):

10. Stock Benefit Plans and Equity Transactions

Stock Benefit Plans

On October 4, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2016 Employment Inducement Award Plan (the “Inducement Plan”). The Inducement Plan allows for the grant of options, restricted stock, restricted stock unit awards and performance unit awards to new employees of the Company by granting an award to such new employee as an inducement for such new employee to begin employment with the Company.  The Inducement Plan currently has 1,550,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance, of which, 600,000 shares of common stock were added on March 30, 2017.  Equity awards under the Inducement Plan may only be granted to an employee who has not previously been an employee or member

18


of the board of directors of the Company. The terms of the Inducement Pla n are substantially similar to the terms of the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan with two principal exceptions: (i) incentive stock options may not be granted under the Inducement Plan; and (ii) the annual compensation paid by the Company to specified executives will be deductible only to the extent that it does not exceed $1.0 million. The Company granted 175,000 Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") and 175,000 stock options under the Inducement Plan in the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Private Placement Transaction

On March 22, 2017, the Company entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors, including certain directors, executive officers and employees of the Company (collectively, the “Purchasers”), providing for the sale by the Company of 1,809,628 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $2.00 per share (the “Common Shares”), 15,245 shares of newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share (which shares are convertible into approximately 7,622,372 shares of common stock, subject to limitations on conversion until the approval by the Company’s stockholders (“Stockholder Approval”) as required in accordance with the NASDAQ listing rules), and warrants to purchase up to 9,432,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share (the “Purchaser Warrants”), in a private placement (the “Private Placement”). The Purchaser Warrants will become exercisable following Stockholder Approval, are subject to certain ownership limitations, and expire five years after the date of such Stockholder Approval.  An aggregate of $2.35 million of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which shares are convertible into approximately 1,175,000 shares of Common Stock, and Warrants to purchase up to 1,175,000 shares of Common Stock were purchased by certain directors, executive officers and employees of the Company.

The Company also entered into an engagement letter (the “Engagement Letter”) on March 1, 2017 with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), pursuant to which Wainwright agreed to serve as exclusive placement agent for the issuance and sale of the securities in the Private Placement. Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, the Company issued to Wainwright and its designees warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 471,600 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Wainwright Warrants,” and together with the Purchaser Warrants, the “Common Stock Warrants”).  The Wainwright Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Purchaser Warrants, except that the Wainwright Warrants have an exercise price equal $2.50 per share.  The Private Placement, including the issuance of the Wainwright Warrants, closed on March 29, 2017, with aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $18.9 million.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

On March 29, 2017, in connection with the closing of the Private Placement, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Designation”). The shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have a stated value of $1,000 per share and will be convertible into approximately 500 shares of common stock. Until the date that Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Certificate of Designation limits the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock such that, when aggregated with the shares of common stock issued in the Private Placement, such issuances shall not exceed 19.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, as required by NASDAQ listing rules. In addition, the Company’s directors, executive officers and employees who participated in the Private Placement will be unable to convert shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock until Stockholder Approval is obtained, pursuant to the NASDAQ listing rules. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends on an as-if-converted basis in the same form as any dividends actually paid on shares of common stock or other securities. Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will have no right to vote on matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Without the prior written consent of 75% of the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company may not: (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Certificate of Designation, (b) amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (c) increase the number of authorized shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or (d) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. In the event of the dissolution and winding up of the Company, the proceeds available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders shall be distributed pari passu among the holders of the shares of common stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, pro rata based upon the number of shares held by each such holder, as if the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were convertible, and were converted, into shares of common stock.

Common Stock Warrants

The Common Stock Warrants are exercisable for cash or, solely, if at any time after the six-month anniversary of the closing date of the Private Placement, there is not an effective registration statement or prospectus registering the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock upon exercise of the Common Stock Warrants, by cashless exercise. The exercise price of the Common Stock Warrants is subject to adjustment in the case of stock dividends or other distributions on shares

19


of common stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of common stock, stock splits, stock combination s, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock, and also, subject to limitations, upon any distribution of assets, including cash, stock or other property to the Company’s stockholders.

Prior to the exercise, holders of the Common Stock Warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the common stock purchasable upon exercise, including voting rights; however, the holders of the Common Stock Warrants will have certain rights to participate in distributions or dividends paid on the Company’s common stock to the extent set forth in the Common Stock Warrants.

The Common Stock Warrants may not be exercised by the holder to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own, after such exercise more than 4.99% of the shares of the Company’s common stock then outstanding (subject to the right of the holder to increase or decrease such beneficial ownership limitation upon notice to us, provided that such limitation cannot exceed 9.99%) and provided that any increase in the beneficial ownership limitation shall not be effective until 61 days after such notice is delivered.

If the Company effect a fundamental transaction, then upon any subsequent exercise of any Common Stock Warrants, the holder thereof shall have the right to receive, for each share of common stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such fundamental transaction, the number of shares of the successor’s or acquiring corporation’s common stock or of the Company’s common stock, if the Company is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration receivable as a result of such fundamental transaction by a holder of the number of shares of common stock into which the Common Stock Warrants were exercisable immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. In addition, in the event of a fundamental transaction (other than a fundamental transaction not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors), the Company or any successor entity shall, at the holder’s option, purchase the holder’s Common Stock Warrants for an amount of cash equal to the value of the Common Stock Warrants as determined in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing model. A fundamental transaction as described in the Common Stock Warrants generally includes any merger with or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, tender offer or exchange offer, reclassification of the Company’s common stock or the consummation of a transaction whereby another entity acquires more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock.

In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Purchaser Warrants and the Wainwright Warrants are classified within additional paid in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

11. Income Taxes

To calculate its interim tax provision, at the end of each interim period the Company estimates the annual effective tax rate and applies that to its ordinary quarterly earnings. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates or tax status is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences between book and tax amounts, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or the tax environment changes.

Intraperiod tax allocation rules require the Company to allocate the provision for income taxes between continuing operations and other categories of earnings, such as discontinued operations. In periods in which the Company has a year-to-date pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income in other categories of earnings, such as discontinued operations, the Company must allocate the tax provision to the other categories of earnings, and then record a related tax benefit in continuing operations.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the income tax provision. The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits increased by less than $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended March  31, 2017 was primarily related to foreign currency fluctuations and increases in reserves related to U.S. federal and state research credits.  The unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $9.4 million and $9.3 million, respectively. With the facts and circumstances currently available to the Company, it is reasonably possible that the amount of reserves that could reverse over the next 12 months is approximately $0.7 million.

The income tax provision from continuing operations consists primarily of income tax provisions related to state income taxes.  The Company’s effective tax rate of 0.91% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to a full valuation allowance and state income taxes.

20


Due to the equity transactions the Company entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2017, an ownership change may have occurred.  Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code, or IRC, Sections 382 and 383, annua l use of the Company’s net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards may be limited in the event a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% occurred within a three-year period.  The Company has not completed an IRC Section 382 and 383 analysis regarding the limitation of net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards.  Since there is a full valuation allowance applied to the deferred taxes, an IRC Section 382 limitation will not have an effect on the defer red taxes or the income tax rate.

The Company is not currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service, or by any foreign, state or local tax authorities, however Scient’x’s 2013 and 2014 tax years are currently under audit by the French tax authorities.

12. Related Party Transactions

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, the Company incurred expenses of less than $0.1 million related to HealthpointCapital, LLC. As of March 31, 2017, the Company also had a liability of less than $0.1 million payable to HealthpointCapital, LLC for travel and administrative expenses.

In July 2016, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with HealthpointCapital, LLC, HealthpointCapital Partners, L.P., and HealthpointCapital Partners II, L.P. (collectively, "HealthpointCapital"), pursuant to which HealthpointCapital, on behalf of the Company, paid $1.0 million of the $1.1 million payment due and payable by the Company to Orthotec on July 1, 2016 and agreed to not exercise its contractual rights to seek an immediate repayment of such amount. Pursuant to this forbearance agreement, the Company repaid this amount in September 2016.  The Company and HealthpointCapital also entered into an agreement for joint payment of settlement whereby HealthpointCapital has agreed to contribute $5 million to the $49 million Orthostec settlement amount.

13. Restructuring

In connection with the Globus Transaction (described in Note 4), the Company terminated employment agreements with several executive officers, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, and commenced an employee headcount reduction program.  The Company had additional headcount reductions in February 2017, and recorded restructuring expenses of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, related to severance liability and post-employment benefits.

On July 6, 2015, the Company announced a restructuring of its manufacturing operations in California in an effort to improve its cost structure. The restructuring included a reduction in workforce and closing the California manufacturing facility. The Company incurred expenses of $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, related to these restructuring activities.

Manageme nt’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 31, 2017. In addition to historical information the following management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations includes forward-looking information that involves risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, such as those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and any updates to those risk factors filed from time to time in our subsequent periodic and current reports filed with the SEC. Unless otherwise stated, all shares and price per share numbers set forth in this Form 10-Q for periods prior to August 24, 2016 are presented after giving effect to the reverse stock split.

Overview

We are a medical technology company focused on the design, development and promotion of products for the surgical treatment of spine disorders. Our mission is to improve patient lives by delivering advancements in spinal fusion technologies.  We have a comprehensive product portfolio and pipeline that addresses the cervical, thoracolumbar and intervertebral regions of the spine and covers a variety of spinal disorders and surgical procedures. Our principal product offerings are focused on the U.S. market for fusion-based spinal disorder solutions. We believe that our products and systems are attractive to surgeons and patients due to innovative features and benefits that are designed to simplify surgical procedures for the surgeon and improve patient outcomes.

Currently, we market and sell our products in the United States through a network of non-exclusive independent distributors and direct sales representatives. We believe there is significant opportunity for us to partner closely with distributors to create a more dedicated and loyal sales channel for the future.  We are eliminating our stocking distributors and are moving our existing distributor relationships to more dedicated and non-competitive partnerships and we intend to add new, high-quality distributors to enable future growth.  

We believe this will allow us to reach an untapped market of surgeons, hospitals and national accounts across the United States, as well as further penetrate existing accounts and territories.

We also employ a national accounts team that is responsible for securing access at hospitals and group purchasing organizations, or GPOs, across the United States. We have had strong success with securing access to hospitals and GPOs.  We believe that this access is a key differentiator for us, and much of our current business is achieved through these accounts.  We will continue to focus our efforts and investment on developing and maintaining relationships with key GPOs and hospital networks in order to secure favorable contracts and develop strategies to convert or grow business within existing accounts.    

We are also striving to drive additional revenue by focusing our capital spend on making strategic investments in commercializing our new products. We are focusing our development and commercialization efforts on differentiated products that we can market through our sales channel.  These innovative products are designed to drive penetration within specific segments within the overall spine market, including the complex spine, deformity, and lateral markets.  We also plan to expand our biologics portfolio through structural allograft, tissue and synthetic bone graft products to support surgeons during the surgical procedure with the goal of achieving high fusion rates.  

Recent Developments

On March 29, 2017, we completed a private placement, or the Private Placement, of our  securities to certain institutional and accredited investors, including certain of our directors, executive officers and employees, providing for the sale of 1,809,628 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $2.00 per share, 15,245 shares of newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, at a purchase price of $1,000 per share (which shares are convertible into approximately 7,622,372 shares of our common stock, subject to limitations on conversion until the approval by our stockholders as required in accordance with NASDAQ listing rules), and warrants to purchase up to 9,432,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.  We also issued warrants to purchase up to 471,500 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, or Wainwright, and its designees, in connection with serving as exclusive placement agent for the issuance and sale of the

22


securities in the Private Placement.  We refer to all 9,903,600 warrants as the Warrants. The Warrants will become exercisable following stockholder approval, are subject to certain ownership limitations, and expire five years after the date of such Stockholder approval. The aggregate gross proceeds for the Private Placement were approximately $18.9 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general corporate and working capital purposes.

Between September 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017, we announced several changes to our senior leadership team, including the appointment of Terry Rich as our Chief Executive Officer; Craig Hunsaker as our Executive Vice President, People and Culture and General Counsel; Jon Allen as our Executive Vice President, Commercial Operations; Brian Snider as our Executive Vice President, Strategic Marketing and Product Development; and Jeff Black as our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer.

On September 1, 2016, we completed the sale, or the Globus Transaction, of our international distribution operations and agreements, including our wholly-owned subsidiaries in Japan, Brazil, Australia, China and Singapore and substantially all of the assets of our other sales operations in the United Kingdom and Italy, or collectively the International Business, to an affiliate of Globus. Following the closing of the Globus Transaction, we now operate in the U.S. market only and are prohibited from marketing and selling our products in foreign markets pursuant to the terms and conditions, and for the time periods, set forth in the definitive documents related to the Globus Transaction.

At the closing of the Globus Transaction on September 1, 2016, Globus paid us $80 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment. On September 1, 2016, we used approximately $66 million of the consideration received to (i) repay in full all amounts outstanding and due under the Deerfield Facility Agreement, and (ii) repay certain of our outstanding indebtedness under our Amended Credit Facility, in each case, including debt-related costs. Also on September 1, 2016, we entered into the credit, security and guaranty agreement with Globus, or the Globus Facility Agreement, pursuant to which Globus has agreed to loan us up to $30 million, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Globus Facility Agreement.

As a result of the sale of our International Business, we have retrospectively revised the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to reflect the financial results from the International Business as discontinued operations.

On August 24, 2016, we filed a certificate of amendment to our certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the state of Delaware to effectuate a 1-for-12 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock.  The share and per share amounts in the discussion below gives retrospective effect to the 1-for-12 reverse stock split for all periods presented.

Revenue and Expense Components

The following is a description of the primary components of our revenues and expenses. As a result of the Globus Transaction, as of September 1, 2016, we only sell our products in the U.S. market.

Revenues . We derive our revenues primarily from the sale of spinal surgery implants used in the treatment of spine disorders. Spinal implant products include pedicle screws and complementary implants, interbody devices, plates, and tissue-based materials. Our revenues are generated by our direct sales force and independent distributors. Our products are requested directly by surgeons and shipped and billed to hospitals and surgical centers. A majority of our business is conducted with customers within markets in which we have experience and with payment terms that are customary to our business. We may defer revenues until the time of collection if circumstances related to payment terms, regional market risk or customer history indicate that collectability is not reasonably assured.

Cost of revenues . Cost of revenues consists of direct product costs, royalties, milestones, depreciation of our surgical instruments, and the amortization of purchased intangibles. Our product costs consist primarily of direct labor, overhead, and raw materials and components. The product costs of certain of our biologics products include the cost of procuring and processing human tissue. We incur royalties related to the technologies that we license from others and the products that are developed in part by surgeons with whom we collaborate in the product development process. Amortization of purchased intangibles consists of amortization of developed product technology.

Research and development expense . Research and development expense consists of costs associated with the design, development, testing, and enhancement of our products. Research and development expense also includes salaries and related employee benefits, research-related overhead expenses, fees paid to external service providers in both cash and equity, and costs associated with surgeon consultants.

23


Sales and marketing expense . Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of salaries and related employee benefits, sales commissions and support costs, professional service fees, travel, medical education, trad e show and marketing costs.

General and administrative expense . General and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and related employee benefits, professional service fees and legal expenses.

Restructuring expenses . Restructuring expense consists of severance, social plan benefits and related taxes, facility closing costs, manufacturing transfer costs and severance costs incurred following the sale of our International Business and the termination of our manufacturing operations in California.

Total other income (expense). Total other income (expense) includes interest income, interest expense, changes in the fair value of the warrant liabilities, gains and losses from foreign currency exchanges, and other non-operating gains and losses.

Income tax (benefit) provision . Income tax provision from continuing operations consists primarily of income tax provisions related to state income taxes. ASC 740-20 requires total income tax expense or benefit to be allocated among continuing operations, discontinued operations, extraordinary items, other comprehensive income and items charged directly to shareholders’ equity. This allocation is referred to as intra-period tax allocation. The sale of the Company's international distribution operations and several foreign subsidiaries is reported under discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, we are required to allocate the provision for income taxes between continuing operations and discontinued operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, allowances for accounts receivable, inventories and intangible assets, stock-based compensation and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumption conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those that, in management’s view, are most important in the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. Except for the changes disclosed in Note 2 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1, Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management believes there have been no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2017 to the critical accounting policies discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2017.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

Revenues . Revenues were $28.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $34.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, representing a decrease of $6.2 million, or 18.2%.

U.S. Commercial Revenues were $23.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $29.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, representing a decrease of $5.8 million or 19.8%.  The decrease in revenue was attributed to a combination of volume, product mix, and pricing as a result of lost distributors and customers and associated overall change in revenue composition associated with the financial and operational challenges the Company faced in 2016,

which led to the sale of the Company’s international b usiness in order to sustain operations.  Revenue was also impacted by the Company’s decision to exit the stocking distributor and terminate distributor relationships that are not representative of the Company’s long-term business and rebranding strategy.   Revenue from stocking distributors alone represented $1.3 million of the revenue decline.

Other Revenues were $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  Other revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2017 are primarily attributed to sales to Globus under our supply agreement with Globus, or the Supply Agreement.  Other revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2016 are primarily attributed to sales to affiliates.  The decrease was primarily related to lower sales to Globus compared to sales to affiliates.

Cost of revenues . Cost of revenues was $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $9.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, representing an increase of $1.5 million, or 15.2%.

Cost of U.S. Commercial Revenues were $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  Despite a decrease in revenue, cost of revenues increased slightly attributed primarily to increased supply costs from reduced sourcing and manufacturing volumes, and an increase in inventory kit write-offs due to distributor turnover.

Cost of other revenues, which are primarily attributed to sales to Globus under the Supply Agreement, were $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  The decrease in cost of revenues was primarily related to lower sales to Globus in the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the intercompany sales and cost of sales included in continuing operations in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Gross profit . Gross profit was $16.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $24.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, representing a decrease of $7.7 million, or 31.5%.

Gross profit from U.S. Commercial Revenues was 68.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 80.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  The decrease in gross margin was attributable primarily to increased supply costs from reduced sourcing and manufacturing volumes, and an increase in inventory kit write-offs due to distributor turnover.

Gross profit from Other Revenues was 16.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 18.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  The decrease in gross margin was primarily related to sale of our international business to Globus, for which we supply international products at reduced margin over historical levels.

Research and development expense . Research and development expense was $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, representing a decrease of $2.2 million, or 60.2%. The decrease was related to a decrease in stock compensation expense related to a consulting agreement ($0.5 million), reduction of personnel related costs due to headcount reductions ($0.6 million) and a reduction of development activities ($1.1 million).

Sales and marketing expense. Sales and marketing expense was $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, representing a decrease of $3.8 million, or 25.7%. The decrease was the result of a reduction in personnel and related expenses due to head-count reductions ($1.6 million), lower commission expense due to lower sales ($1.4 million) and a reduction in general sales and marketing expenses ($0.8 million).

General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense was $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, representing a decrease of $2.8 million, or 30.9%. The decrease was due to a reduction in legal costs due to legal costs incurred in connection with the Globus transaction in 2016 ($1.4 million), a reduction in personnel related costs due to head-count reductions ($0.9 million) and a reduction in professional services ($0.4 million).

Amortization of acquired intangible assets. Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This expense represents amortization in the period for intangible assets associated with general business assets obtained in acquisitions.

26


Restructuring expense .  Restructuring expense was $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Due to the closing of the Globus Transaction, which eliminated substantially all of our international operations we began a corporate downsizing initiative to rationalize our cost structure in line with our reduced op erations. The restructuring costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 consist primarily of severance charges related to headcount reductions.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, was $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 representing an increase of $1.0 million.  The increase is primarily related to interest expense of $2.4 million related to MidCap and Deerfield debt extinguished in the Globus transaction being included in discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 partially offset by interest expense related to the Globus Facility Agreement.  

Other income (expense), net . Other income (expense), net was net income of $0.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to net income of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, representing a decrease in income of $0.2 million. The decrease in income was primarily the result of the decrease in warrant valuation ($0.1 million) which was related to the decrease in the value of our common stock in the first quarter of 2016.

Income tax provision. Income tax provision was less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. The 2017 and 2016 income tax provision from continuing operations consists primarily of income tax provisions related to state income taxes. The 2016 income tax benefit from continuing operations consists primarily of the reversal of deferred tax liabilities associated with tax deductible goodwill, partially offset by state income taxes.  We are required allocate the provision for income taxes between continuing operations and other categories of earnings, such as discontinued operations.

Discontinued operations . On July 25, 2016, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with Globus whereby we agreed to sell all of our international distribution operations and agreements, including our wholly-owned subsidiaries in Japan and Brazil and substantially all of the assets of our other sales operations in the United Kingdom and Italy, and on September 1, 2016, we completed the sale to Globus. As a result of our strategic decision to sell the International Business and focus on U.S market, our condensed consolidated statements of operations and the condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect the financial results from the International Business as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, activity presented under discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations represents our commercial operations prior to the sale of the International Business in September 2016.  Certain operating expenses were also allocated to the business activities associated with the discontinued operations as well as interest expense related to our debt that we repaid using the proceeds from the sale of the International Business.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We utilize certain financial measures that are not calculated based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Certain of these financial measures are considered “non-GAAP” financial measures within the meaning of Item 10 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with the GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of our results of operations and the factors and trends affecting our business. These non-GAAP financial measures are unaudited and are also used by our management to evaluate financial results and to plan and forecast future periods. However, non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures used by us may differ from the non-GAAP measures used by other companies, including our competitors.

Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the effects of interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, other income (expense) and other non-recurring income or expense items, such as asset impairments and restructuring and other expenses. We believe that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to adjusted EBITDA is income (loss) from continuing operations. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations. Therefore, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Furthermore, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as a measure of operating performance or to net cash provided by operating, investing or financing activities, or as a measure of our ability to meet our cash needs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred significant net losses since inception and relied on our ability to fund our operations through revenues from the sale of our products, debt financings and equity financings, including the Private Placement in March 2017. As we have incurred losses, a successful transition to profitability is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure. This may not occur and, unless and until it does, we will continue to need to raise additional capital.  At March 31, 2017, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash of $25.5 million and accounts receivable, net of $14.2 million.  We believe that our current available cash will be sufficient to fund our planned expenditures and meet our obligations for at least 12 months following our financial statement issuance date.

Historically, our principal sources of cash have included customer payments from the sale of our products, proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred stock and proceeds from the issuance of debt. Our principal uses of cash have included cash used in operations, payments relating to purchases of surgical instruments, repayments of borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility, payments due under the Orthotec settlement agreement and acquisitions of businesses and intellectual property rights. We expect that our principal uses of cash in the future will be these same uses of cash. We expect that, as our revenues grow, our sales and marketing, research and development expenses and our capital expenditures will continue to grow and, as a result, we will need to generate significant net revenues to achieve profitability.  Operating losses and negative cash flows may continue for at least the next year as we continue to incur costs related to the execution of our operating plan and introduction of new products.

We may seek additional funds from public and private equity or debt financings, borrowings under new or existing debt facilities or other sources to fund our projected operating requirements.  However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain further financing, or do so on reasonable terms. If we are unable to raise additional funds on a timely basis, or at all, we would be materially adversely affected.

On July 25, 2016, we entered into the Purchase and Sale Agreement, with Globus, pursuant to which, and on the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, among other things, Globus agreed to acquire our International Business.  Upon the closing, of the Globus Transaction on September 1, 2016, or the Closing, Globus paid us $80 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment, or the Closing Payment. Following the Closing, we have used approximately $66 million of the Closing Payment to (i) repay in full all amounts outstanding and due under our credit facility with Deerfield and (ii) repay certain of our outstanding indebtedness under our Amended Credit Facility with MidCap, in each case, including debt-related costs. At the Closing, we also entered into the Globus Facility Agreement pursuant to which Globus agreed to loan us up to $30 million, of which $25 million was drawn at the Closing and an additional $5 million draw in the fourth quarter of 2016, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Globus Facility Agreement.

In connection with the Globus Transaction we terminated employment agreements with several executive officers and commenced an employee headcount reduction program.  We had additional headcount reductions in February 2017, and have recorded restructuring expenses of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, related to severance liability and post-employment benefits.  We have incurred restructuring expenses totaling $3.3 million through March 31, 2017 as a result of this headcount reduction program.

A substantial portion of our available cash funds is held in business accounts with reputable financial institutions. At times, however, our deposits, may exceed federally insured limits and thus we may face lo sses in the event of insolvency of any of the financial institutions where our funds are deposited. We did not hold any marketable securities as of March 31, 2017.

Amended Credit Facility and Other Debt

On August 30, 2013, we entered into the Amended Credit Facility, which amended and restated the prior credit facility that we had with MidCap. On September 1, 2016, we entered into a Fifth Amendment to the MidCap Amended Facility Agreement, or the MidCap Fifth Amendment, that: (a) permitted (i) the Globus Transaction, (ii) the release of Alphatec International LLC and Alphatec Pacific, Inc. as credit parties, (iii) the payment in full of all obligations to Deerfield  under the Facility Agreement between us and Deerfield, dated as of March 17, 2014, as amended to date, or the Deerfield Facility Agreement, and (iv) the incurrence of debt under the Globus Facility Agreement and the granting of liens in favor of Globus, (b) reduced the revolving credit commitment to $22.5 million and the term loan commitment to $5 million, (c) revised the existing financial covenant package, and (d) extended the commitment expiry date from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2019. In connection with the prepayment of the term loan under the Amended Credit Facility, we incurred a prepayment fee of $0.6 million payable to MidCap.  On March 30, 2017, we entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Amended Credit Facility to extend the date that the financial covenants of the Amended Credit Facility are effective from April 2017 to April 2018.

The term loan interest rate is priced at the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 8.0%, subject to a 9.5% floor, and the revolving line of credit interest rate remains priced at LIBOR plus 6.0%, reset monthly. At March 31, 2017, the revolving line of credit carried an interest rate of 6.8% and the term loan carries an interest rate of 9.5%. The borrowing base is determined, from time to time, based on the value of domestic eligible accounts receivable and domestic eligible inventory. As collateral for the Amended Credit Facility, we granted MidCap a security interest in substantially all of its assets, including all accounts receivable and all securities evidencing its interests in our subsidiaries. In addition to monthly payments of interest, monthly repayments of $0.2 million in 2017 and $0.3 million in 2018 through maturity are due, with the remaining principal due upon maturity.  As of March 31, 2017, $10.3 million was outstanding under the revolving line of credit and $4.2 million was outstanding under the term loan.

The Amended Credit Facility includes traditional lending and reporting covenants including a fixed charge coverage ratio to be maintained by us. The Amended Credit Facility also includes several event of default provisions, such as payment default, insolvency conditions and a material adverse effect clause, which could cause interest to be charged at a rate which is up to five percentage points above the rate effective immediately before the event of default or result in MidCap’s right to declare all outstanding obligations immediately due and payable.

On September 1, 2016, we entered into the Globus Facility Agreement, pursuant to which Globus agreed to loan us up to $30 million, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Globus Facility Agreement. We made an initial draw of $25 million under the Globus Facility Agreement with an additional draw of $5 million made in the fourth quarter of 2016. As of March 31, 2017, the outstanding balance under the Globus Facility Agreement was $30 million, which becomes due and payable in quarterly payments of $0.8 million starting November 2018 and the final payment due on September 30, 2021. The term loan interest rate is priced at LIBOR plus 8.0% through September 1, 2018, and LIBOR plus 13.0%, thereafter.

As collateral for the Globus Facility Agreement, we granted Globus a first lien security interest in substantially all of our assets, other than accounts receivable and related assets, which will secure the Globus Facility Agreement on a second lien basis.

We have various capital lease arrangements. The leases bear interest at rates ranging from 6.6% to 9.6%, are generally due in monthly principal and interest installments, are collateralized by the related equipment, and have various maturity dates through September 2018. As of March 31, 2017, the balance of these capital leases, net of interest totaled $0.7 million.

As of March 31, 2017, we have made $28.5 million in Orthotec settlement payments and there remains aggregate of $29.3 million of Orthotec settlement payments to be paid by us.

Operating Activities

We used net cash of $6.1 million from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017. During this period, net cash provided by operating activities primarily consisted of a net loss of $5.5 million and working capital and other assets used cash of $4.9 million, which were offset by $4.4 million of non-cash costs including amortization,

29


depreciation, stock-based compensation, provision for doubtful accounts, provision fo r excess and obsolete inventory, and interest expense related to amortization of debt discount and issuance costs. Working capital and other assets used cash of $4.7 million primarily consisted of an increase in inventories of $0.3 million and a decrease i n accounts payable of $5.4 million and accrued expenses of $5.9 million, partially offset by decreases in accounts receivable of $4.4 million, prepaid expenses and other current assets of $2.0 million and other assets of $0.3 million.

Investing Activities

We used cash of $2.0 million in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily for the purchase of surgical instruments.

Financing Activities

Financing activities provided net cash of $13.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily attributable to the Private Placement, which provided net cash proceeds of $17.5 million.  Under the MidCap Amended Credit Facility, we made net payments of $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017. We also made principal payments on notes payable and capital leases totaling $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Based on our closing stock price as of March 31, 2017, the last trading date of the quarter, of $2.33 per share. Pursuant to a three-year collaboration agreement, we may be obligated to make three annual payments to the collaborator as sole consideration for services provided, paid in our common stock at a per share price of $23.35, which was equal to the average NASDAQ closing price of the common stock on the five days leading up to and including the date of signing the collaboration agreement. The actual number of shares issued each year will be determined by the fair market value of the services provided over the prior 12 months. The actual amount of potential cash settlement will vary depending on the price of our common stock at the respective settlement dates.

This commitment represents payments in cash, and is subject to attaining certain sales milestones, development milestones such as U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval, product design and functionality testing requirements, which we believe are reasonably likely to be achieved during the period from 2017 through 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This new standard replaces all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminates all industry-specific

30


guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. T he core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance, including all subsequent clarifications, is effective for us for annual and interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-ef fect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We performed a preliminary assessment of the impact of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements, and considered all items outlined in the standard. In assessing the impact, we outlined all revenu e generating activities, mapped those activities to performance obligations and traced those performance obligations to the standard. We are now assessing what impact the change in standard will have on those performance obligations. We will continue to ev aluate the future impact and method of adoption of the new standard and related amendments on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures throughout 2017. We will adopt the new standard beginning January 2018.

In July 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value for entities that do not measure inventory using the last-in, first-out or retail inventory method. The guidance also eliminates the requirement for these entities to consider replacement cost or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted the standard for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2017.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, which changes several aspects of the accounting for leases, including the requirement that all leases with durations greater than twelve months be recognized on the balance sheet. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on our financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, which changes several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including accounting and cash flow classification for excess tax benefits and deficiencies, forfeitures, and tax withholding requirements and cash flow classification. The guidance is effective for annual periods and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We adopted the standard for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2017.

In August 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, which eliminates the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, unless deemed impracticable, in which case, prospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the new guidance and has not determined the impact this standards update may have on our financial statements.

Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “seek,” “intend,” “continue,” “project,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, many of which are beyond our control, including the factors set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and any updates to those risk factors filed from time to time in our subsequent periodic and current reports filed with the SEC. In addition, the forward-looking statements contained herein represent our estimate only as of the date of this filing and should not be relied upon as representing our estimate as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting such forward-looking statements.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our borrowings under our credit facilities expose us to market risk related to changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2017, our outstanding floating rate indebtedness totaled $44.4 million. The primary base interest rate is the LIBOR rate.

32


Assuming the outstanding balance on our floating rate indebtedness remains constant over a year, a 100 basis point increase in the interest rate would decrease pre-tax income and cash flow by approximately $0.4 million. Other outstanding debt consists o f fixed rate instruments, including debt outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility with MidCap and the Globus Facility Agreement, notes payable and capital leases.

Commodity Price Risk

We purchase raw materials that are processed from commodities, such as titanium and stainless steel. These purchases expose us to fluctuations in commodity prices. Given the historical volatility of certain commodity prices, this exposure can impact our product costs. However, because our raw material prices comprise a small portion of our cost of revenues, we have not experienced any material impact on our results of operations from changes in commodity prices. A 10% change in commodity prices would not have had a material impact on our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s, or SEC's, 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 for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

33


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

Litigation

We are and may become involved in various legal proceedings arising from our business activities. While we are not aware of any litigation matter that in and of itself would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and depending on the nature and timing of a proceeding, an unfavorable resolution could materially affect our future consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a particular period.  We assess contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual or disclosure in our consolidated financial statements. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in our consolidated financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. When evaluating contingencies, we may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including the procedural status of the matter in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and/or the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matters. In addition, damage amounts claimed in litigation against us may be unsupported, exaggerated or unrelated to reasonably possible outcomes, and as such are not meaningful indicators of our potential liability.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors described under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017.  

Item 2.

Unre gistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

None

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Under the terms of our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan and our Amended and Restated 2005 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan, as amended, which we refer to collectively as the Stock Plans, and prior to the expiration of the Stock Plans in May 2026, we are permitted to award shares of restricted stock to our employees, directors and consultants. These shares of restricted stock are subject to a lapsing right of repurchase by us. We may exercise this right of repurchase in the event that a restricted stock recipient’s employment, directorship or consulting relationship with us terminates prior to the end of the vesting period. If we exercise this right, we are required to repay the purchase price paid by or on behalf of the recipient for the repurchased restricted shares. Repurchased shares are returned to the Stock Plan and are available for future awards under the terms of the Stock Plan.  There were no shares of common stock repurchased during the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
