MIMEDX GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014 AND 2013
1.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulations S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU’’) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented have been included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year.  The balance sheet at December 31, 2013, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. 
You should read these condensed consolidated financial statements together with the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 4, 2014. 
The Company operates in one business segment, Regenerative Biomaterials, which includes the design, manufacture, and marketing of products and tissue processing services for the Wound Care, Surgical, Sports Medicine, Ophthalmic and Dental market categories. Our biomaterial platform technologies include tissue technologies, AmnioFix® and EpiFix®, and device technology, CollaFix™.
2.
Significant Accounting Policies
Please see Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, for a description of all significant accounting policies. 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers for which revenue has been recognized. Generally, the Company does not require collateral or any other security to support its receivables.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing receivables. The Company determines the allowance based on factors such as historical collection experience, customers' current creditworthiness, customer concentrations, age of accounts receivable balance and general economic conditions that may affect the customers' ability to pay. 
Inventories
Inventory is valued at standard cost, which approximates actual cost computed on a first-in, first-out basis, not in excess of market value. We assess the valuation of our inventory on a periodic basis and make adjustments to the value for estimated excess and obsolete inventory based on estimates about future demand. The excess balance determined by this analysis becomes the basis for our excess inventory charge. Our excess inventory review process includes analysis of sales forecasts, managing product rollovers and working with operations to maximize recovery of excess inventory.
Revenue Recognition
The Company sells its products through a combination of a direct sales force and independent stocking distributors and representatives in the U.S. and independent distributors in international markets. The Company recognizes revenue when title to the goods transfers to customers, provided there are no material remaining performance obligations required of the Company or any matters of customer acceptance. In cases where the Company utilizes distributors or ships product directly to the end user, it recognizes revenue upon shipment provided all revenue recognition criteria have been met. A portion of the Company's revenue is generated from inventory maintained at hospitals or with the field representatives. For these products, revenue is recognized at the time the product has been used or implanted. The Company records estimated sales returns, discounts and allowances as a reduction of net sales in the same period revenue is recognized.  

8




Patent Costs
The Company incurs certain legal and related costs in connection with patent applications for tissue based products and processes. The Company capitalizes such costs to be amortized over the expected life of the patent to the extent that an economic benefit is anticipated from the resulting patent or alternative future use is available to the Company. The Company capitalized approximately $168,000 of patent costs during the first three months of 2014. There were not any patent costs capitalized for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, and through the date of this report, all ASUs issued, effective and not yet effective, were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our financial position or results of operations.
3.
Liquidity and Management’s Plans
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $43,020,000 of cash and cash equivalents.  The Company reported total current assets of approximately $67,904,000 and current liabilities of approximately $9,594,000 as of March 31, 2014.  The Company believes that its anticipated cash from operating and financing activities, existing cash and cash equivalents, as well as its $3 million line of credit will enable the Company to meet its operational liquidity needs and fund its planned investing activities for the next twelve months.

The Company will also be required to pay a royalty of 3% on all commercial sales revenue from the licensed products. The Company is also obligated to pay a $50,000 minimum annual royalty payment over the life of the license. As of March 31, 2014, this license had a remaining net book value of approximately $284,000

Line of Credit

On May 17, 2013, the Company and Bank of America, N.A. (the “Lender”) entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”).  The Loan Agreement provides the Company with a secured revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Line of Credit”) of up to $3,000,000, and includes a sub-limit of up to $1,000,000 for the issuance of letters of credit.  The Revolving Line of Credit is secured by the Company's accounts receivable and inventory.  The Company intends to utilize the Revolving Line of Credit for general corporate purposes. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not made any draws under the Revolving Line of Credit.
 
Accrued interest with respect to principal amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement is payable in arrears on a monthly basis calculated at the rate of LIBOR plus two percent (2%). The principal amount outstanding under the Loan Agreement and any accrued and unpaid interest is due no later than May 1, 2014, and the Revolving Line of Credit is subject to certain prepayment penalties upon early termination of the Revolving Line of Credit.   The Loan Agreement is subject to renewal by the Lender at the end of the term.
 
The Loan Agreement contains covenants that limit, under certain circumstances, the ability of the Company to, among other things, merge with or acquire other entities, incur new liens, incur additional indebtedness, sell assets outside of the ordinary course of business, make loans, advances or other extensions of credit or engage in any business activities substantially different from the Company's present business without the Lender's consent. The Loan Agreement also requires the Company to maintain certain financial covenants, including a minimum funded debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. Management is not aware of any violations of these covenants.

8.
Net Income (loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares from stock options, warrants and convertible debt using the treasury stock method.  For all periods presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, as the inclusion of equivalent shares from outstanding common stock options, warrants and convertible debt would be anti-dilutive.

Total unrecognized compensation expense related to granted stock options at March 31, 2014, was approximately $18,212,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years. 
The fair value of options granted by the Company is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate.  Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of peer companies and other factors estimated over the expected term of the options.  The term of employee options granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes expected term as the average of the sum of the vesting term plus the contract term.  The term for non-employee options is generally based upon the contractual term of the option.  The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the period of the expected term or contractual term as described.
The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of options using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model are set forth in the following table:

Warrants
The Company grants common stock warrants in connection with equity share purchases by investors as an additional incentive for providing long term equity capital to the Company and as additional compensation to consultants and advisors.  The warrants are granted at negotiated prices in connection with the equity share purchases and at the market price of the common stock in other instances.  The warrants have been issued for terms of five years.

Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part by notice given by the holder accompanied by payment in cash of an amount equal to the warrant exercise price multiplied by the number of warrant shares being purchased.
These warrants are not mandatorily redeemable, and do not obligate the Company to repurchase its equity shares by transferring assets or issuing a variable number of shares. 
The warrants require that the Company deliver shares as part of a physical settlement and do not provide for a net-cash settlement. 
All of our warrants are classified as equity as of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013 and expire at various times through the end of 2016.

10.
Income taxes 

The effective tax rates for continuing operations of (1.1%) and (3.2%), respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 were determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate and after considering any discrete items for such periods. Due to a valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets, the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 does not include the benefit of the current period U.S. tax loss. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that a portion or none of the deferred tax assets will be realized.  After consideration of all the evidence, including reversal of deferred tax liabilities, future taxable income and other factors, management has determined that a full valuation allowance is necessary as of March 31,

14



2014. As a result, income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is primarily due to income tax expense in certain state jurisdictions.

FDA Untitled Letter and Related Litigation

Initially, MiMedx processed its tissue allografts in only one form, which was a sheet form. In 2011, MiMedx introduced a micronized form of its sheet allografts.
The FDA has specific regulations governing human cells, tissues and cellular and tissue-based products, or HCT/Ps. An HCT/P is a product containing or consisting of human cells or tissue intended for transplantation into a human patient. If an HCT/P meets the criteria for regulation solely under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (so-called “361 HCT/Ps”), no FDA review for safety and effectiveness under a drug, device, or biological product marketing application is required.
MiMedx believes that all of its tissue products qualify as 361 HCT/Ps. On August 28, 2013, however, the FDA issued an Untitled Letter alleging that the Company’s micronized allografts do not meet the criteria for regulation solely under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act and that, as a result, MiMedx would need a biologics license to lawfully market the

15



micronized products.
After a series of correspondence and conference calls and a meeting with FDA representatives, in December 2013, the FDA clarified the basis for its position regarding the micronized products. Specifically, the FDA explained its belief that “[c]ryo-milling cut, dehydrated amniotic/chorionic membrane results in a micron-sized powder and the loss of the tensile strength and elasticity that are essential characteristics of the original amniotic/chorionic tissue relating to its utility to function as a ‘physical membrane’ (i.e. covering, barrier).” For this reason, the Agency continues to believe that the micronized products are more than minimally manipulated and the products therefore are not eligible for marketing solely under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act. The Company responded to the FDA that while it does not agree with the Agency’s position, it understands the Agency’s interest in further regulating this emerging technology. Accordingly, the Company has proposed to the FDA that it will pursue the Investigational New Drug (“IND”) and Biologics License Application (“BLA”) process for certain micronized products, and, in parallel, also proposed to enter into negotiations with the FDA on a plan to transition the micronized products to licensed biological products and continue to market the micronized products under specific conditions. The Company had its first Pre-IND meeting at the FDA on March 13, 2014. During the meeting, the Company presented a series of questions focused on detailed plans for its first BLA for its micronized tissue and reviewed some of the Company’s data. The FDA was extremely helpful in answering the Company’s questions and providing additional information related to this complex process. The Company anticipates a second meeting to finalize study protocols and review additional information. There is no guarantee that the FDA will agree to a transition plan or allow us to continue to market our micronized products while we pursue one or more BLAs. If they do allow us to continue to market our micronized products, they may impose conditions, such as labeling restrictions and compliance with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”). It is also possible that we will be required to recall our micronized products Revenues from micronized products make up about 15% of projected revenues in 2014.
Following the publication of the Untitled Letter from the FDA regarding the Company’s injectable products in September 2013, the trading price of the Company’s stock dropped sharply and several purported class action lawsuits were filed against us and certain of our executive officers asserting violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to various statements and alleged omissions related to the Company’s belief that FDA approval was not required to market its products, including its micronized products. These cases have now all been removed to, and consolidated in, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. By order dated December 9, 2013, the Court approved the appointment of a lead plaintiff and a lead counsel. A Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint, containing substantially the same causes of action and claims for relief as the initial complaints, was filed on January 27, 2014. On February 26, 2014, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss on various grounds. The plaintiff filed a Reply Memorandum of Law in opposition to the Company’s Motion to Dismiss on March 28, 2014. On April 14, 2014, the Company filed a Reply Memorandum of Law in further support of its Motion to Dismiss. The Company currently believes that the outcome of this litigation will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Subsequent Events
Line of Credit
As of May 1, 2014, the Revolving Line of Credit expired and the Company elected not to renew.
Stock Repurchase Program
On May 12, 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program. Under the terms of the program, the Company may repurchase up to $10 million of its common stock from time to time through December 31, 2014. The timing and amount of repurchases, if any, will depend upon the Company's stock price, economic and market conditions, regulatory requirements, and other corporate considerations. The Company may initiate, suspend or discontinue purchases under the stock repurchase program at any time.

Results of Operations Comparison for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
Revenue
Total revenue increased approximately $8.0 million, or 69%, to $19.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in revenue as compared to the prior year is due primarily to increased wound care sales of EpiFix® in both commercial and government accounts.

Tissue Processing Costs and Cost of Products Sold
Cost of products sold as a percentage of revenue improved to 15.2% from 16.5% as compared to prior year. The improvement was due primarily to the increase in direct sales revenue, improved product mix and higher production rates that absorb a greater percentage of fixed manufacturing costs.

Research and Development Expenses 
The Company's research and development expenses (“R&D expenses”) increased approximately $0.2 million, or 11.5%, to $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to approximately $1.2 million in the prior year. The increase is primarily related to increased investments in clinical trials, and personnel costs.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of internal personnel costs, expenses of clinical trials, fees paid to external consultants, and the cost of supplies and instruments used in the Company's laboratories.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, General and Administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014, increased approximately $7.5 million to $15.9 million compared to $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Selling expense increases were driven by costs associated with building a direct sales organization, and increased commissions due to higher sales volume. Additional spending increases included spending on support costs related to medical reimbursement, including the Company's reimbursement hotline; information technology infrastructure to help manage the growth of the business; and increased share-based compensation expense. Selling, General and Administrative expenses consist of personnel costs, professional fees, sales commissions, sales training costs, industry trade show fees and expenses, product promotion and product literature costs, facilities costs and other sales, marketing and administrative costs, depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation.

Net Interest Expense
The Company recorded net interest expense of approximately $21,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared with approximately $1,343,000 of financing and net interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The decrease of approximately $1,322,000 is primarily due to the conversion and payoff of debt.  The following table summarizes the interest charges for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Revenue continues to increase quarter - over - quarter while management maintains tight controls over spending. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $43.0 million of cash and cash equivalents. The Company reported total current assets of approximately $67.9 million and total current liabilities of approximately $9.6 million at March 31, 2014, which represents a current ratio of 7.1 as of March 31, 2014. Management believes that its anticipated cash from operating and financing activities, existing cash and cash equivalents, as well as its $3 million line of credit will enable the Company to meet its operational liquidity needs and fund its planned investing activities for the next year.
Contractual Obligations
Contractual obligations associated with ongoing business activities are expected to result in cash payments in future periods.  The table below summarizes the amounts and estimated timing of these future cash payments as of March 31, 2014:

Discussion of cash flows
Net cash used in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2014, decreased approximately $0.5 million to $1.6 million compared to $2.1 million used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily attributable to the decrease in the Net loss offset by the increase in working capital.
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014, increased approximately $0.5 million to $0.6 million compared to $0.1 million used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due to purchases of plant and equipment related to the relocation to a new facility with expanded production capacity and capitalization of patent application costs.
Net cash flows from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014, increased approximately $0.1million to $1.2 million compared to $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Cash flows from financing activities during the current quarter include approximately $.8 million received from the exercise of warrants compared to approximately $.9 million received from the exercise of warrants during the first three months of 2013 and approximately $.4 million received from the exercise of stock options compared to $0.2 million received from the exercise of stock options during the first three months of 2013.
Due to the material amount of non-cash related items included in the Company results of operations, the Company has developed an Adjusted EBITDA metric which provides management with a clearer view of operational use of cash (see the table below). The Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2014 was approximately $2.0 million which is an improvement of approximately $.9 million as compared to the prior year first quarter. This improvement was the result of a lower net loss for the period and higher share - based compensation expenses in 2014.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Non-GAAP financial measures are commonly used in the industry and are presented because management believes they provide relevant and useful information to investors. However, there are limitations to using these non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA is not indicative of cash provided or used by operating activities and may differ from comparable information provided by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, as an alternative to, or more meaningful than measures of financial performance determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most closely related financial measure reported under GAAP for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies
In preparing financial statements, the Company follows accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require the Company to make certain estimates and apply judgments that affect its financial position and results of operations. Management continually reviews the Company's accounting policies and financial information disclosures. A summary of significant accounting policies that require the use of estimates and judgments in preparing the financial statements was provided in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  During the quarter, there were no material changes to the accounting policies and assumptions previously disclosed.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For the effect of recent accounting pronouncements, see Item 1 Financial Statements – Note 2.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of Company management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company's controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.


21



Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
The Company has confidence in its internal controls and procedures. Nevertheless, management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company's disclosure procedures and controls or its internal controls will prevent all errors or intentional fraud. An internal control system, no matter how well-conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of such internal controls are met. Further, the design of an internal control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all internal control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Following the publication of an Untitled Letter from the FDA regarding the Company’s injectable products in September 2013, the trading price of the Company’s stock dropped sharply and several purported class action lawsuits were filed against the Company and certain of its executive officers asserting violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to various statements and alleged omissions related to the Company’s belief that FDA approval was not required to market its products, including its micronized products. These cases have now all been removed to, and consolidated in, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. By order dated December 9, 2013, the Court approved the appointment of a lead plaintiff and a lead counsel. A Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint, containing substantially the same causes of action and claims for relief as the initial complaints, was filed on January 27, 2014. On February 26, 2014, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss on various grounds. The plaintiff filed a Reply Memorandum of Law in opposition to the Company’s Motion to Dismiss on March 28, 2014. On April 14, 2014, the Company filed a Reply Memorandum of Law in further support of its Motion to Dismiss. The Company currently believes that the outcome of this litigation will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position or results of operations.
