ReShape Lifesciences Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts; unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of Reshape Lifesciences Inc. (the “Company” or “ReShape”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed on April 17, 2023. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted.
In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
Reverse Stock Split and Merger Exchange Ratio
On December 23, 2022, at the commencement of trading, the Company effected a
-for-50 reverse stock split. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the reverse stock split. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 4 to its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates. The Company reviews its estimates on an ongoing basis or as new information becomes available to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in its business.
Long-Lived Assets
We assess the potential impairment of long-lived assets, principally property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset group may not be fully recoverable. If an indicator of impairment exists for any of its asset groups, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows, over the life of the primary asset for each asset group is compared to that long-lived asset group's carrying value. If the carrying value of the asset group is greater than the estimated future undiscounted cash flow, the Company then determines the fair value of the assets, and if an asset is determined to be impaired, the impairment loss is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company determined the carrying value of the property, plant and equipment had been impaired due to the current financial condition of the Company and recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $0.5 million, which reduced the residual value of these assets to $0.1 million, on the consolidated
8
balance sheet as of September 30, 2023. The fair value was determined by estimating the amount the Company could receive if they were to sell the assets. In addition, the Company also impaired its remaining intangible assets, for further details see Note 4.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain accrued and other liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. Refer to Note 7 regarding fair value measurements and inputs of warrants.
Net Loss Per Share
The following table sets forth the potential shares of common stock that are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive as of the end of each period presented:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
New accounting standards adopted are discussed below.
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which is intended to provide financial statement users with more useful information about expected credit losses on financial assets held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, which amended the new standard by providing targeted transition relief. The new guidance replaces the existing incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable forward-looking information to estimate all expected credit losses. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, which amended the new standard by providing additional clarification. This guidance became effective on January 1, 2023 and did not have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.
(2) Liquidity and Management’s Plans
The Company currently does not generate revenue sufficient to offset operating costs and anticipates such shortfalls to continue as the Company has modified its strategy to a metrics-driven approach through a sustainable and scalable business model, via a digital lead generation and re-engagement strategy. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had net working capital of approximately $2.9 million, primarily due to cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $1.5 million, and $2.2 million of accounts receivable. The Company has raised gross proceeds of $13.7 million between the public offerings that occurred on February 8, 2023, April 24, 2023 and October 3, 2023. Based on its available cash resources, the Company may not have sufficient cash on hand to fund its current operations for more than twelve months from the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s anticipated operations include plans to (i) grow sales and operations of the Company with the Lap-Band product line both domestically and internationally as well as to obtain cost savings synergies, (ii) introduce to the market place ReShapeCare and ReShape Marketplace as an extension, (iii) marketing efforts to increase brand recognition, create customer awareness and increase the patient demand, (iv) continue development of the Diabetes Bloc-Stem Neuromodulation (DBSN) device, (v) seek opportunities to leverage our intellectual property portfolio and custom development services to provide third-party sales and licensing opportunities, and (vi) explore and capitalize on synergistic opportunities to expand our portfolio and offer future minimally invasive treatments and therapies in the obesity continuum of care, including Lap-Band 2.0. The Company believes that it has the flexibility to manage the growth of its expenditures and operations depending on the amount of available cash flows, which could include reducing expenditures for marketing, clinical and product development activities.
9
The Company may be required to raise additional capital, however, there can be no assurance as to whether additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. If sufficient funds on acceptable terms are not available when needed, it would have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition and could force the Company to delay, limit, reduce, or terminate product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates or testing products that the Company would otherwise plan to develop.
Therefore, the plans cannot be deemed probable of being implemented. As a result, the Company’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above.
COVID-19 Risk
The impact of COVID-19 has subsided substantially in the U.S. but continues to result in reduced activity levels outside of the U.S., such as continued restrictions on travel and business operations and advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time outside of their homes or places of business.

(4) Intangible Assets
The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consists of developed technology, and trademarks and tradenames. The estimated useful lives of these finite-lived intangible assets is 10 years. The amortization expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, were $11 thousand and $0.5 million, respectively, and the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, were $33 thousand and $1.4 million, respectively.
Impairment of In-Process Research and Development
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company determined the carrying value of the developed technology and trademarks/tradenames had been fully impaired due to the current financial condition of the Company and recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $0.2 million on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, which reduced the value of these assets to zero.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company determined that it was stopping the clinical trials for the ReShape Vest and was closing out the previous trials that occurred, as significant additional clinical work and cost would be required to achieve regulatory approval for the ReShape Vest. As such, we determined the carrying value of the IPR&D asset was impaired and recognized a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $6.9 million on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022, which reduced the value of this asset to zero.

April Securities Offering
On April 20, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with a certain institutional investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investor in a registered direct offering (i) 291,395 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 509,300 shares of Common Stock. Each share of common stock was sold at a price of $3.07 per share and each Pre-funded Warrant was sold at an offering price of $3.069 per share underlying such Pre-funded Warrants, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million before deducting the placement agent’s fees and the offering expenses. The Company has been using the net proceeds of this offering to continue implementation of its growth strategies, for working capital and general corporate purposes. In addition, under the Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to issue and sell to the Investor in a concurrent private placement warrants to purchase an aggregate of 800,695 shares of common stock.
In connection with the Offering, the Company also agreed that certain existing warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 164,656 shares of Common Stock that were issued to the Investor, at an exercise price of $15.00 per share, were amended effective upon the closing of the Offering so that the amended warrants have an exercise price of $3.07.
The Company’s exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering, Maxim Group LLC, received a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the securities in Offering, as well as reimbursement for certain expenses, and warrants to purchase up to 40,035 shares of Common Stock, which is equal to 5.0% of the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock issued in the Offering, at an exercise price of $3.38 per share.
The offering closed April 24, 2023.
February Public Offering of Common Stock and Warrants
On February 8, 2023, the Company closed a public offering of 1,275,000 units, with each consisting of one share of its common stock, or one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of its common stock, and one warrant to purchase -half shares of its common stock. Each unit was sold at public offering price of $8.00. The warrants in the units are immediately exercisable at a price of $8.00 per share and expire five years from the date of issuance. Alternatively, each warrant can be exercised pursuant to the “alternative cashless exercise” provision, to which the holders would receive an aggregate number of shares of common stock equal the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon a cash exercise and (y) 0.50. For purposes of clarity, one common warrant to purchase -half shares would be exercisable for 0.75 shares under this alternative cashless exercise provision. The shares of common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) and accompanying warrants were only purchasable together in this offering but were issued separately and immediately separable upon issuance. As of September 30, 2023, warrants to purchase 1,674,376 shares of common stock have been exercised under the alternative cashless exercise for a total of 835,313 shares of common stock.
Gross proceeds, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, are approximately $10.2 million. The Company has been using the net proceeds of this offering to continue implementation of its growth strategies, for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Company also granted the underwriters an option to purchase an additional 191,250 shares of common stock and/or additional warrants to purchase up to 286,875 shares of common stock, to cover over-allotments, of which Maxim Group LLC exercised its option to purchase additional warrants to purchase 286,875 shares of common stock.
(7) Warrants
On April 24, 2023, the Company completed a securities purchase offering in which three classes of warrants were issued. There were 800,695 common stock purchase warrants issued with an exercise price of $3.07. The common stock purchase warrants were valued at $1.5 million using the fair value approach at the time of issuance. The fair value of the common stock purchase warrants was determined using a Black Scholes option pricing model using a risk free rate of 3.558%, expected term of 5.5 years, expected dividends of zero and an expected volatility of 88.4%.
13
In addition, one of the investors purchased 509,300 pre-funded warrants at a price of $3.069 per warrant. These warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share and do not expire. The pre-funded warrants were valued at $1.3 million using the fair value approach at the time of issuance. The fair value of the pre-funded warrants was determined using a Black Scholes option pricing model using a risk free rate of 3.558%, an expected term of 5.5 years, expected dividends of zero and expected volatility of 88.4%.
As part of the terms of the offering the Company issued 40,035 representative’s warrants with an exercise price of $3.38 per share and expiration date on April 24, 2028. The representative’s warrants were valued at $0.1 million using the fair value approach at the time of issuance. The fair value of the representative’s warrants was determined using a Black Scholes option pricing model using a risk free rate of 3.568%, an expected term of 5.0 years, expected dividends of zero and expected volatility of 96.3%.
On February 8, 2023, the Company completed a public offering in which three classes of warrants were issued. There were 2,199,375 common stock purchase warrants issued with an alternative cashless exercise provision. The alternative cashless exercise allows the holder to exercise one warrant share for 0.5 shares of common stock or exercise via the cash exercise price of $8.00 per share of common stock per warrant. The Company classifies these warrants as a liability, and the Company utilized a bifurcated Black-Scholes option pricing model to consider the cash exercise option and cashless exercise option. The bifurcated Black-Scholes option pricing model used an exercise price where the two exercise methods would be indifferent with market inputs of the stock price on the issuance, risk free interest rate, expected share price volatility and dividend yield. The Company calculates the fair value of the warrants at each reporting period and when a warrant is exercised, with the changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations. Below is a summary of the initial inputs used in the bifurcated Black-Scholes option pricing model.

(8) Revenue Disaggregation and Operating Segments
The Company conducts operations worldwide and has sales in the following regions: United States, Australia, Europe and Rest of World. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company primarily only sold the Lap-Band system. The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by geography:

Operating Segments
The Company conducts operations worldwide and is managed in the following geographical regions: United States, Australia, Europe and the Rest of World (primarily in the Middle East). All regions sell the Lap-Band system, which consisted of nearly all our revenue and gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there was minimal revenue for ReShapeCare. There was no revenue or gross profit recorded for the DBSN device for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 as this product is still in the development stage. There was also no revenue recorded for the Obalon line.
(9) Income Taxes
During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense of $3 thousand and an income tax benefit of $0.4 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded income tax expense of $21 thousand and an income tax benefit of $0.3 million. The income tax expense is related to minimum state taxes and projected Australian and Netherlands income, respectively. The income tax provisions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, were calculated using the discrete year-to-date method. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the existence of valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets and current liabilities resulting from the estimated state income tax liabilities and foreign tax liability.
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based on the level of historical losses, projections of losses in future periods and potential limitations pursuant to changes in ownership under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, the Company provided a valuation allowance at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

There was no intrinsic value of the outstanding stock options at September 30, 2023. The unrecognized share-based expense at September 30, 2023 was $0.2 million, and will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.
Stock option awards outstanding under the Company’s incentive plans have been granted at exercise prices that are equal to the market value of its common stock on the date of grant. Such options generally vest over a period of four years and expire at ten years after the grant date. The Company recognized compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. The Company uses a Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted, which requires the input of both subjective and objective assumptions as follows:
Expected Term – The estimate of expected term is based on the historical exercise behavior of grantees, as well as the contractual life of the options granted.
Expected Volatility – The expected volatility factor is based on the volatility of the Company’s common stock for a period equal to the term of the stock options.
Risk-free Interest Rate – The risk-free interest rate is determined using the implied yield for a traded zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond with a term equal to the expected term of the stock options.
Expected Dividend Yield – The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s historical practice of paying dividends on its common stock.

The fair value of each RSU is the closing stock price on the Nasdaq of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Upon vesting, a portion of the RSU award may be withheld to satisfy the statutory income tax withholding obligation. The remaining RSUs will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock after the vesting period. The unrecognized compensation cost related to the RSUs at September 30, 2023 was $0.2 million and expected to be recognized over a period of 1.3 years.
(11) Commitment and Contingencies
Litigation
On August 6, 2021, Cowen and Company, LLC filed a complaint against ReShape, as successor in interest to Obalon Therapeutics, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York based on an alleged breach of contract arising out of Cowen’s prior engagement as Obalon’s financial advisor. The complaint alleges that Cowen is entitled to be paid a $1.35 million fee in connection with ReShape’s merger with Obalon under the terms of Cowen’s engagement agreement with Obalon. The complaint also sought reimbursement of Cowen’s attorneys’ fees and interest in connection with its claim. On May 11, 2023, the Supreme Court of the State of New York issued the final judgement in favor of Cowen & Company in the amount of $1.35 million, plus interest at the statutory rate of 9% per annum from June 16, 2021 until judgement is paid in full, and reimbursement of $675,000 of Cowen’s attorneys’ fees, with $275,000 to be paid upfront, $200,000 paid after six months and $200,000 paid after 12 months. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has paid the $1.35 million judgement, including related interest, and first $275,000 installment of Cowen’s attorneys’ fees. At September 30, 2023, $400 thousand of attorneys’ fees were included as accrued expenses.
The Company is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against it that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition, other than what was disclosed above. The medical device industry in which the Company operates is characterized by frequent claims and litigation, including claims regarding patent and other intellectual property rights as well as improper hiring practices. As a result, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings from time to time.
Product Liability Claims
The Company is exposed to product liability claims that are inherent in the testing, production, marketing and sale of medical devices. Management believes any losses that may occur from these matters are adequately covered by insurance, and the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company is not currently a party to any product liability litigation and is not aware of any pending or threatened product liability litigation that is reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition.

(12) Subsequent Events
Securities Offering
On October 3, 2023, the Company completed a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the investors (i) 1,770,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), (ii) warrants to purchase up to 13,650,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $0.33 per share (the “Common Warrants”) and (iii) pre-funded warrants to purchase 7,330,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The securities were sold as part of units at a price of $0.33 per unit or, with respect to the units including pre-funded warrants, $0.329 per unit.
In connection with the offering, the Company also agreed that certain existing warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 965,351 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.07 per share and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 382,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share that were previously issued to one of the investors, were amended effective upon the closing of the Offering so that the amended warrants have an exercise price of $0.33 per share.
The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $2.8 million, after deducting the placement agent fees and before deducting offering expenses.
The Company’s exclusive placement agent in connection with the offering, Maxim Group LLC, received a cash fee equal to up to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the securities in offering, as well as reimbursement for certain expenses, and warrants to purchase up to 455,000 shares of Common Stock, which is equal to 5.0% of the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock (or Common Stock equivalents in the form of pre-funded warrants) issued in the offering, at an exercise price of $0.363 per share (the “Placement Agent Warrant”).
Employee Reduction
The Company remains committed to helping patients improve their lives through bariatric surgeries with the Lap-Band, while achieving profitability. To ensure its steadfast pursuit of this objective, the Company has taken many steps to reduce costs, through reduction of various operating expenses, such as adjusting our marketing strategy. On November 3, 2023, the Company made the difficult decision to reduce its workforce by approximately 23%, resulting in a projected annualized cost savings of approximately $1.2 million. The workforce reduction is part of the Company’s broader efforts to gain greater efficiencies throughout the organization, without impacting our revenue-generating strategies or the Company’s ability to continue delivering unparalleled quality and value to its customers.

Non-GAAP Disclosures
In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with GAAP, we provide certain historical non-GAAP financial information. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results.
Management believes that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial information provides investors with greater transparency and facilitates comparison of operating results across a broad spectrum of companies with varying capital structures, compensation strategies, and amortization methods, which provides a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position, and prospects for the future. However, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in Form 10-Q have certain limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company may be different from similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA
Management uses adjusted EBITDA in its evaluation of the Company’s core results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believes that these measures are important components of its internal performance measurement process. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, changes in fair value of liability warrants, and other one-time costs.

Revenue. The following table summarizes our unaudited revenue by geographic location based on the location of customers for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, as well as the percentage of each location to total revenue and the amount of change and percentage of change (dollars in thousands):

Total revenue | $ | 2,155 | 100.0 | % | $ | 2,798 | 100.0 | % | $ | (643) | (23.0) | % |
Revenue totaled $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which represents a contraction of 23.0%, or $0.6 million compared to the same period in 2022. The primary reason is due to a decrease in sales volume throughout the US and Australia. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company focused on its new strategies for marketing through a targeted digital media campaign near bariatric surgical centers, while reducing costs and increasing efficiencies. Our expectation is during the fourth quarter of 2023 and the beginning of 2024 these efforts will come to fruition and revenue will grow, as we continue to focus on increasing the demand for the Lap-Band system and our recently launched three new sizes of calibration tubes. Additionally, we are anticipating FDA approval for the LAP-BAND 2.0 early in 2024. Once FDA approval is received, we will launch the new LAP-BAND 2.0 and anticipate this will boost sales.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit. The following table summarizes our unaudited cost of revenue and gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, as well as the percentage compared to total revenue and amount of change and percentage of change (dollars in thousands):

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $1.3 million, compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2022, a decrease of $0.8 million. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was 59.8% compared to 75.1% for the same period in 2022. The decrease in gross profit percentage is due to the decrease in sales with related additional overhead costs, primarily related to payroll.

Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023, decreased by $0.8 million, or 31.2%, to $1.8 million, compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease of $0.7 million in advertising and marketing expenses, including consulting and professional marketing services, as the Company has reevaluated its marketing approach and has moved to a targeted digital marketing campaign, resulting in a reduction of costs. We also had a reduction in payroll expenditure, including commissions and travel of $0.1 million, due to changes in sales personnel and lower sales.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023, decreased by $1.7 million, or 45.6%, to approximately $2.1 million, compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in payroll-related expenses, including a reduction in stock-based compensation expense of $0.9 million, due to changes within personnel. There was a reduction in intangible asset amortization of $0.4 million, as we impaired our finite intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2022. We also had a decrease in rent and insurance of $0.2 million due to the lease of our former Carlsbad, CA location expiring. We had a reduction in professional services of approximately $0.3 million. These reductions were offset by an increase in bad debt expense of $0.3 million.
Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023, remained consistent with the same period in 2022, with a slight decrease primarily in clinical trials and professional services.

Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was 55.3% compared to 64.0% for the same period in 2022. The decrease in gross profit percentage is due to the decrease in sales and additional fixed costs.

Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, decreased by $5.8 million, or 48.5%, to approximately $6.1 million, compared to $11.9 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease of $4.6 million in advertising and marketing expenses, including consulting and professional marketing services, as the Company has reevaluated its marketing approach and has moved to a targeted digital marketing campaign, resulting in a significant reduction of costs. We also had reductions in payroll expenditures, including commissions, travel and stock-based compensation of $1.1 million, due to changes in sales personnel and lower sales.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, decreased by $4.3 million, or 33.1%, to approximately $8.7 million, compared to $13.0 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in legal related expenses due to the Company recording $2.0 million in litigation losses during the three months ended June 30, 2022. In addition, the Company had a reduction in payroll-related expenses including stock-based compensation expense of $2.4 million, due to changes within personnel. We had a decrease in intangible asset amortization of $1.3 million, as we impaired our finite intangible assets during the fourth quarter. We also had a decrease in rent and insurance of $0.7 million due to the lease of our former Carlsbad, CA location expiring. This was offset by an increase in audit and professional services of approximately $1.6 million, primarily due to the offerings we completed in February 2023 and April 2023. Additionally, we had an increase of $0.5 million in bad debt expense.
23
Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, decreased by $0.5 million, or 24.0%, to $1.6 million, compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease of $0.2 million in payroll expenses and a reduction of $0.1 million in consulting and clinical related expenses.
(Gain) Loss on Disposal of Assets, Net. Loss on disposal of assets decreased by approximately $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in the prior year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company disposed of $0.4 million of assets that were acquired from the merger with Obalon and during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we sold approximately $30 thousand of fully depreciated assets during our relocation from San Clemente, CA to Irvine, CA.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company currently does not generate revenue sufficient to offset operating costs and anticipates such shortfalls to continue as the Company has modified its strategy to a metrics-driven approach through a sustainable and scalable business model, via a digital lead generation and re-engagement strategy. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had net working capital of approximately $2.9 million, primarily due to cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $1.5 million. The Company’s principal source of liquidity as of September 30, 2023, consisted of approximately $1.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, and $2.2 million of accounts receivable. Based on its available cash resources, the Company may not have sufficient cash on hand to fund its current operations for more than twelve months from the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes in the viability of its business strategy and in its ability to raise additional funds, however, there can be no assurance to that effect.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities from operations was $14.5 million and $19.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of our net loss of $8.9 million, partially offset by non-cash adjustments for stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million, non-cash offering cost of $0.3 million and bad debt expense of approximately $0.5 million, offset by a negative cash impact related to gains recognized for changes in fair value of liability warrants of $3.9 million. We show a negative cash impact on accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2.8 million, accounts receivable of $0.4 million, and prepaid expenses of $0.3 million. This was offset by a positive cash impact on inventory of $0.3 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of our net loss of $29.7 million, partially offset by non-cash adjustments for impairment of intangible assets of $7.4 million, stock-based compensation expense of $1.8 million, amortization of intangible assets of $1.4 million, depreciation expense of $0.3 million, provision for excess and obsolete inventory of $0.2 million and loss on disposal of assets of $0.4 million, offset by non-cash reduction of expense for deferred income tax of $0.4 million and bad debt expense of $0.1 million. We show a negative cash impact to inventory of $1.3 million, as the Company is building up its inventory to meet the expected increase in demand due to the marketing strategies, and warranty liability of $0.3 million. This was offset by a positive cash impact to accounts and other receivables of $0.7 million and prepaid expenses of $0.7 million.
24
Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Investing Activities
Net cash (used in) and provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, was minimal.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, due to the proceeds received from the public offering completed during February 2023 and April 2023, less costs to complete the transaction and costs paid related to the October 2023 offering.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, due to the proceeds received from an exercise of warrants from an institutional investor.
Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements
The Company currently does not generate revenue sufficient to offset operating costs and anticipates such shortfalls to continue as the Company has modified its strategy. The Company’s anticipated operations include plans to (i) grow sales and operations of the Company with the Lap-Band product line both domestically and internationally as well as to obtain cost savings synergies, (ii) introduce to the market place ReShapeCare and ReShape Marketplace as an extension, (iii) ramp up a focused approach of marketing to increase brand recognition, create customer awareness and increase the patient demand, (iv) continue development of the DBSN device, (v) seek opportunities to leverage our intellectual property portfolio and custom development services to provide third-party sales and licensing opportunities, and (vi) explore and capitalize on synergistic opportunities to expand our portfolio and offer future minimally invasive treatments and therapies in the obesity continuum of care, including Lap-Band 2.0 and the Obalon Balloon System. The Company believes that it has the flexibility to manage the growth of its expenditures and operations depending on the amount of available cash flows, which could include reducing expenditures for marketing, clinical and product development activities.
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of medical devices, such as our Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation, we are unable to estimate the exact amounts of capital outlays and operating expenditures necessary to complete the development of the Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation or other additional products and successfully deliver a commercial product to the market. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the following:
● | the cost and timing of establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities; |
● | the cost of establishing clinical and commercial supplies of our Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation, and any product candidates; |
● | the rate of market acceptance of our Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation, and any other product candidates; |
● | the cost of filing and prosecuting patent applications and defending and enforcing our patent and other intellectual property rights; |
● | the cost of defending, in litigation or otherwise, any claims that we infringe third-party patent or other intellectual property rights; |
● | the effect of competing products and market developments; |
● | the cost of explanting clinical devices; |
● | the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing or other arrangements that we may establish; |
● | any revenue generated by sales of our Lap-Band, ReShapeCare, ReShape Marketplace, Obalon Balloon System, Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation or our future products; including FDA approval on Lap-Band 2.0, which is expected before fiscal year-end 2023, |
25
● | the scope, rate of progress, results and cost of our clinical trials and other research and development activities; |
● | the cost and timing of obtaining any further required regulatory approvals; and |
● | the extent to which we invest in products and technologies, although we currently have no commitments or agreements relating to any of these types of transactions. |
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Information with respect to our critical accounting policies and estimates which we believe could have the most significant effect on our reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management is contained in Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no significant changes from the information discussed therein.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 there were no material changes to our significant accounting policies above, which are fully described in Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide disclosure pursuant to this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” as those controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. An internal control material weakness is a significant deficiency, or aggregation of deficiencies, that does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that material misstatements in financial statements will be prevented or detected on a timely basis by employees in the normal course of their work. An internal control significant deficiency, or aggregation of deficiencies, is one that could result in a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than inconsequential. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2023, and determined that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at a reasonable assurance level due to the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting:
Control Environment: We had insufficient internal resources with appropriate accounting and finance knowledge and expertise to design, implement, document and operate effective internal controls around our financial reporting
26
process. The insufficient internal resources resulted in misstatements of our revenue recognition, stock based compensation, weighted average share calculation, disclosures of income taxes and expense cut off at period end.
Purchase Accounting: The Company did not design and maintain effective management review controls at a sufficient level of precision over the accounting for transactions related to the prepaid D&O insurance policy purchased in connection with the merger transaction in June 2021. This material weakness resulted in certain material corrections to the financial statements and in the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for the annual and interim consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the interim consolidated financial statements in the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2022.
Income Taxes: The Company did not design and maintain effective management review controls at a sufficient level of precision over the accounting for income taxes.
Journal entry access and review: The Company did not have effective processes to ensure that all journal entries were properly approved prior to being posted to the general ledger. Furthermore, a segregation of duties conflict is present as certain individuals have the ability to both prepare and post journal entries to the general ledger.
Information technology access and change management: A segregation of duties conflict is present as access and approval rights to the Company’s information technology systems are not reviewed on a timely basis. Furthermore, certain individuals have the ability to develop and deploy changes to production which could create a segregation of duties risk.
We are currently implementing our remediation plan to address the material weaknesses identified above. Such measures include:
● | Hiring additional accounting personnel to ensure timely reporting of significant matters. |
● | Designing and implementing controls to formalize roles and review responsibilities to align with our team's skills and experience and designing and implementing formalized controls. |
● | Designing and implementing formal processes, policies and procedures supporting our financial close process. |
● | Design a formal review of a monthly journal entry report to ensure journal entries are appropriately approved within a timely manner. |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than in connection with executing upon the continued implementation of the remediation measures referenced above, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
