NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share data or otherwise noted)
1.Business
Surgalign Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), (formerly known as RTI Surgical Holdings, Inc. (“RTI”)) is a global medical technology company focused on elevating the standard of care by driving the evolution of digital surgery. We have a broad portfolio of spinal hardware implants, including solutions for fusion procedures in the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical spine, motion preservation solutions for the lumbar spine, and a minimally invasive surgical implant system for fusion of the sacroiliac joint. We also have a portfolio of advanced and traditional orthobiologics, or biomaterials. In addition to our spinal hardware and biomaterials portfolios, we are developing an augmented reality and artificial intelligence digital surgery platform called HOLO™ to enable digital spine surgery, which we believe is one of the most advanced artificial intelligence technologies being applied to surgery. HOLO Portal™ surgical guidance, a component of our HOLO™ platform, is designed to automatically recognize, identify, and segment patient anatomy to autonomously assist the surgeon throughout the surgical procedure. This proprietary artificial intelligence-based platform system is an intelligent anatomical mapping technology designed to assist surgeons by allowing them to remain in safe anatomical zones, and to enhance surgical performance. We plan to leverage our digital surgery platform to improve patient outcomes and drive adoption of our spinal hardware implants and biomaterials products. We are developing a pipeline of new innovative technologies that we plan to integrate with our digital surgery platform. We currently market and sell products to hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and healthcare providers in the United States and in more than 40 countries worldwide. We are headquartered in Deerfield, Illinois, with commercial, innovation and design centers in San Diego, CA; Wurmlingen, Germany; and Warsaw, Poland.
OEM Disposition
On July 20, 2020, pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 13, 2020 (as amended from time to time, the “OEM Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and Ardi Bidco Ltd. (the “Buyer”), the Company completed the sale of its former original equipment manufacturing business, and business related to processing donated human musculoskeletal and other tissue and bovine and porcine animal tissue in producing allograft and xenograft implants using BIOCLEANSE®, TUTOPLAST® and CANCELLE®SP sterilization processes (collectively, the “OEM Businesses”) to Buyer and its affiliates for a purchase price of $440.0 million of cash, subject to certain adjustments (the “Transactions”). More specifically, pursuant to the terms of the OEM Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to the Buyer and its affiliates all of the issued and outstanding shares of RTI OEM, LLC (which, prior to the Transactions, was converted to a corporation and changed its name to “RTI Surgical, Inc.”), RTI Surgical, LLC (which, prior to the Transactions, was converted to a corporation and changed its name to “Pioneer Surgical Technology, Inc.”), Tutogen Medical, Inc. and Tutogen Medical GmbH. The Transactions were previously described in the Proxy Statement filed by the Company with the SEC on June 18, 2020. Subsequent to the Transactions, the Company changed its name to Surgalign Holdings, Inc, operating through its primary subsidiary, Surgalign Spine Technologies, Inc. Where obvious and appropriate from the context, references herein to Surgalign or the Company refer to the Company excluding the disposed OEM Businesses.
Prior to the sale of the OEM Businesses, the Company operated two reportable segments: Spine and OEM. Subsequent to the sale of the OEM Businesses, the Company operates only one reportable segment. Refer to Note 3 for further discussion on Discontinued Operations.
COVID-19
The continued effects of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, as well as the corresponding governmental response and the Company’s management of the crisis has had a significant impact on the Company’s business. The consequences of the outbreak and impact on the global economy continues to evolve, and the full extent of the impact is uncertain with the existence of variant strains of COVID-19. The variant strains have and will continue to lead to a rise in infections resulting in the reinstatement of certain restrictions previously in place on a global scale.
Beginning in 2020, many hospitals and other medical facilities canceled elective surgeries, reduced and diverted staffing and diverted other resources to patients suffering from the infectious disease and limited hospital access for non-patients, including the Company’s direct and indirect sales representatives. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, surgeons and their patients have been required, or are choosing, to defer procedures in which the Company’s products would be used, and many facilities that specialize in the procedures in which the Company’s products would be used have closed or reduced operating hours. The Company continue to see these measures taken through September 30, 2021 thus negatively
6
impacting the ability of the Company’s employees and distributors to effectively market and sell its products. In addition, even after the pandemic subsides and/or governmental orders no longer prohibit or recommend against performing such procedures, patients may continue to defer such procedures out of concern of being exposed to COVID-19.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also caused adverse effects on general commercial activity and the global economy, which led to an economic slowdown in 2020, and which has adversely affected the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition. The adverse effect of the pandemic on the broader economy has also negatively affected demand for procedures using the Company’s products, and could cause one or more of the Company’s distributors, customers, and suppliers to experience financial distress, cancel, postpone or delay orders, be unable to perform under a contract, file for bankruptcy protection, go out of business, or suffer disruptions in their business. This could impact the Company’s ability to provide products and otherwise operate its business, as well as increase its costs and expenses.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also led to and could continue to lead to severe disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase the Company’s cost of future capital and adversely affect its ability to access the capital markets in the future.
The Company cannot predict when its operations will fully return to pre-pandemic levels and will continue to carefully monitor the situation and the needs of the business.
The above and other continued disruptions to the Company’s business as a result of COVID-19 has resulted in a material adverse effect on its business, operating results and financial condition. Although vaccines have recently been made available, it remains uncertain when our business will return to normal operations. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact the Company’s business will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including the possibility that new adverse information may emerge concerning COVID-19 and additional actions to contain it or treat its impact may be required.
Liquidity
As the global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve, it could continue to materially and adversely affect our revenues, financial condition, profitability, and cash flows for an indeterminate period of time.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation one year after the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, and we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
As of September 30, 2021, we had cash of $68.4 million and an accumulated deficit of $524.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a loss from continuing operations of $34.1 million. We have incurred losses from operations in the previous two fiscal years and did not generate positive cash flows from operations in fiscal year 2020 or for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
On June 14, 2021, we issued and sold in a registered direct offering an aggregate of 28,985,508 shares of our common stock and investor warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 28,985,508 million shares at a strike price of $1.725.The Company, also in connection with the direct offering, issued placement agent warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,739,130 million shares of our common stock at a strike price of $2.15625 per share. We received net proceeds of $45.8 million from the offering after deducting investor fees of $4.2 million.
On February 1, 2021, we closed a public offering and sold a total 28,700,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.50 per share, less the underwriter discounts and commissions. We received net proceeds of $36.5 million from the offering after deducting the underwriting discounts and commission of $4.0 million.
The Company is projecting it will continue to generate significant negative operating cash flows over the next 12-months and beyond due, in part, to continued COVID-19 uncertainties, along with approximately $18.4 million of the total contingent consideration of $53.0 million expected to become due to the former owners of Holo Surgical contingent on two milestones expected to be achieved within the next 12 months. These payments will be paid through a combination of common stock and cash. The Company’s operating plan for the next 12-month period also includes continued investments in its product pipeline and funding of future operations through 2022, which will necessitate additional debt and/or equity
7
financing. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and the recent disruptions to, and volatility in, financial markets in the United States, and worldwide, resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy the Company’s on-going cash requirements through the third fiscal quarter of 2022, the Company will be required to scale back operations, reduce research and development expenses, and postpone, as well as suspend capital expenditures, in order to preserve liquidity. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.
In consideration of the inherent risks and uncertainties and the Company’s forecasted negative cash flows as described above, management has concluded that substantial doubt exists with respect to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Management continually evaluates plans to raise additional debt and/or equity financing and will attempt to curtail discretionary expenditures in the future, if necessary; however, in consideration of the risks and uncertainties mentioned, such plans cannot be considered probable of occurring at this time.
The recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its funding requirements on a continuous basis to maintain existing financing to succeed in its future operations. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
2.Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP often requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Assumptions and judgments based on historical experience may provide reported results, which differ from actual results; however, these assumptions and judgments historically have not varied significantly from actual experience, and we therefore do not expect them to vary significantly in the future. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company includes acquisition, disposal, integration and separation related costs, which are predominantly composed of legal, consulting, and advisor fee expenses, within the “Transaction and integration expense” line on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss).
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Surgalign Spine Technologies, Inc., Paradigm Spine, LLC (“Paradigm”), Pioneer Surgical Technology, Inc. (“Pioneer Surgical”), Zyga Technology, Inc. (“Zyga”), and Holo Surgical Inc. (“Holo Surgical”). The operating results of the disposed OEM Businesses have been reported as discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in the prior comparative periods.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 16, 2021, and as amended by our Annual Report (Amendment No. 1) on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The guidance provides simplifications of the accounting for convertible instruments and reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion
8
features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current U.S. GAAP. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact on its disclosures.
Immaterial Restatement of Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
During the first fiscal quarter of 2021, the Company identified errors in the calculation of its historical basic and diluted EPS. In the historical periods presented in the filing, the weighted average basic and diluted shares incorrectly included treasury stock, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units. The weighted average shares used in the restated basic and diluted EPS from continuing operations and discontinued operations have been corrected.
Significant New Accounting Policies
Refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC on March 16, 2021 for discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the following accounting policy was adopted.
Other Operating Income
Included within "Other operating income, net" for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 is $3.9 million related to the settlement received by the Company from OEM related to inventory purchased during the year that was also paid for by the Company at the date of acquisition.
3. Discontinued Operations
In connection with the Transactions, on July 20, 2020, the Company completed the disposition of its OEM Businesses. Accordingly, the OEM Businesses are reported as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-20”). The results of operations from the OEM Businesses are classified as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss). There were no assets or liabilities of the OEM Businesses as of September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020 due to the transaction occurring on July 20, 2020. Applicable amounts in prior years have been recast to conform to this discontinued operations presentation.

In accordance with ASC 205-20, only expenses specifically identifiable and related to a business to be disposed may be presented in discontinued operations. As such, the marketing and general and administrative expenses in discontinued operations include corporate costs incurred directly to solely support the Company’s OEM Businesses.
Pursuant to the OEM Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Buyer have also entered into a Transition Services Agreement, through which the disposed OEM Businesses will provide to the Company transitional services related to IT support, customer and vendor management, procurement, and other services for periods ranging 3 to 12 months after the disposal. This contract was extended to the end of 2021.
The Company applied the “Intraperiod Tax Allocation” rules under ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires the allocation of an entity’s total annual income tax provision among continuing operations and, in the Company’s case, discontinued operations.
On December 1, 2020, pursuant to the OEM Purchase Agreement, the Company received a notice from the Buyer indicating that a post-closing adjustment in an amount of up to $14.0 million may be owed in respect of the working capital adjustment paid at closing. On June 3, 2021, the firm engaged to resolve the dispute issued a binding, non-appealable resolution whereby it was determined the Company was liable for $5.8 million of the disputed amount, which was finalized and paid during the second quarter of 2021. The final settlement was expensed under "Income (loss) from operations of discontinued operations" in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss).

4.Leases
The Company’s leases are classified as operating leases that include office space, automobiles, and copiers. The Company does not have any finance leases and the Company’s operating leases do not have any residual value guarantees, restrictions, or covenants. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of 1 to 8 years, some of which include options to extend or terminate the leases. The option to extend is only included in the lease term if the Company is reasonably certain of exercising that option. Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets are presented within "Other assets-net" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The current portion of operating lease liabilities are presented within "Accrued expenses", and the non-current portion of operating lease liabilities are presented within "Other long-term liabilities" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s lease agreements do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate nor is it available to the Company from its lessors. Instead, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at lease commencement in order to discount lease payments to present value.
A subset of the Company’s automobile and copier leases contain variable payments. The variable lease payments for such automobile leases are based on actual mileage incurred at the standard contractual rate. The variable lease payments for such copier leases are based on actual copies incurred at the standard contractual rate. The variable lease costs for all leases are immaterial.
The components of operating lease expense were as follows:

5.Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised products in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those products. The Company typically transfers control at a point in time upon shipment or delivery of the implants for direct sales, or upon implantation for sales of consigned inventory. The customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the benefits from the implant at the time the implant is shipped, delivered, or implanted, based on the terms of the contract.
12
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company’s entire revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was recognized at a point in time. The following table represents total revenue by geographical region for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively:
For the Three Months Ended September 30, | For the Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||
2021 | 2020 | 2021 | 2020 | ||||||||||||||||||||
Revenues: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Domestic | $ | 17,306 | $ | 23,690 | $ | 57,880 | $ | 62,917 | |||||||||||||||

Total revenues from contracts with customers | $ | 20,545 | $ | 27,926 | $ | 68,670 | $ | 75,562 |
The Company’s performance obligations consist mainly of transferring control of implants identified in the contracts. Some of the Company’s contracts offer assurance-type warranties in connection with the sale of a product to a customer. Assurance-type warranties provide a customer with assurance that the related product will function as the parties intended because it complies with agreed-upon specifications. Such warranties do not represent a separate performance obligation and are not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
6.Business Combinations
On April 30, 2021, the Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Prompt Prototypes LLC (“Prompt”), a California limited liability company, and Peter Kopley, an individual residing in the State of California (the “Sellers”). The Company purchased the assets of Prompt to expand its research and development capabilities, and create the capacity to produce certain medical prototypes. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company purchased specific assets and assumed certain liabilities of Prompt for a purchase price of $1.1 million. At the closing, the Company paid $0.3 million of cash and issued restricted shares with an aggregate fair market value of $0.2 million to the sellers. The remaining $0.6 million of the purchase price will be paid to Mr. Kopley, contingent on the continued employment with the Company, in the form of cash and restricted shares in two equal amounts on the 18th and 36th month anniversary of the closing date. These payments are considered future compensation.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquisition of Prompt as of April 30, 2021 (in thousands):
Inventories | $ | 140 | ||||||
Right-of-use assets | 78 | |||||||
Property and equipment | 528 | |||||||
Operating lease liabilities | (78) | |||||||
Deferred tax liability | (28) | |||||||
Net assets acquired | $ | 640 | ||||||
Bargain purchase gain | (90) | |||||||
Total purchase price | $ | 550 |
Based on the preliminary purchase price, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeded the purchase price consideration resulting in a bargain purchase gain of $0.1 million, and was recorded in "Other (income) expense – net" in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) during the second quarter ended June 30, 2021. The bargain purchase was primarily driven by the potential future compensation expense in lieu of an increased purchase price.
Holo Surgical Acquisition
On September 29, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Holo Purchase Agreement”), with Roboticine, Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”), Holo Surgical S.A., a Polish joint-stock company (“Holo S.A.”), Pawel Lewicki, PhD (“Lewicki”), and Krzysztof Siemionow, MD, PhD (“Siemionow”), which
13
provides for the Company to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Holo Surgical Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Seller (“Holo Surgical”). The Seller, Holo S.A., Lewicki and Siemionow are together referred to herein as the “Seller Group Members.” The Acquisition was closed on October 23, 2020.
As consideration for the Holo Surgical Acquisition, the Company paid to the Seller $30.0 million in cash and issued to the Seller 6,250,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 of the Company (“Common Stock”). In addition, the Seller is entitled to receive contingent consideration from the Company valued in an aggregate amount of up to $83.0 million, to be paid through the issuance of Common Stock or the payment of cash, contingent upon and following the achievement of certain regulatory, commercial and utilization milestones by specified time periods occurring up to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the closing. The Purchase Agreement provides that the Company will issue Common Stock to satisfy any contingent consideration payable to the Seller, until the total number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including the 6,250,000 shares of Common Stock issued at closing) is equal to 14,900,000 shares of Common Stock. Following the attainment of that limitation, the post-closing contingent payments would be payable in cash. The number of shares of Common Stock issued as contingent consideration with respect to the achievement of a post-closing milestone, if any, will be calculated based on the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the five (5) day trading period commencing on the opening of trading on the third trading day following the achievement of the applicable milestone. The Purchase Agreement also includes certain covenants and obligations of the Company with respect to the operation of the business of Holo Surgical that apply during the period in which the milestones may be achieved.
The Company determined that substantially all of the fair value was concentrated in the acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) asset in accordance with the guidance of ASC 805, Business Combinations. As such, the acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The total consideration of the asset acquisition was determined to be $95.0 million which consisted of a cash consideration of $30.0 million, $12.3 million of the 6,250,000 shares of Common Stock issued to the Seller, direct and incremental costs of $2.1 million incurred for the Holo Surgical Acquisition, and an estimated fair value of $50.6 million related to the contingent consideration. The Company has determined that the contingent consideration was part of the consideration of the asset acquisition and was accounted for as a liability at fair value on the acquisition date of October 23, 2020 in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Subsequently, the liability shall be marked to market at the end of each reporting period with any change recognized in current earnings. The fair value of the liability was $53.0 million as of September 30, 2021 with $18.4 million classified as current liabilities within "Accrued expenses", while $34.6 million is included as "Other long-term liabilities" in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The change in the fair value of the liability of $3.6 million since December 31, 2020 was recognized in the "Gain on acquisition contingency" line of the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss).

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred $0.6 million, and $0.8 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to the disposed OEM Businesses. These expenses have been presented in the results from discontinued operations. No stock-based compensation expense related to the disposed OEM Business was incurred in 2021.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the company excluded 5,470,364 and 5,305,329 respectively, of issued stock options in the computation of diluted net loss per share, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the company excluded 4,936,334 and 4,963,654 respectively, of issued stock options in the computation of diluted net loss per common share because their exercise price exceeded the average market price during the respective periods. The Company’s outstanding warrants were also excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share as they were considered “out-of-the-money” as of September 30, 2021.
On October 23, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Holo Surgical and became obligated for a contingent consideration in an aggregate amount of $50.6 million which must be first paid in shares of the Company’s common stock (in an amount up to 8,650,000 shares) and then paid in cash thereafter, contingent upon and following the achievement of certain regulatory, commercial and utilization milestones by specified time periods occurring up to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the closing. The number of shares of common stock issued as contingent consideration with
15
respect to the achievement of a post-closing milestone, if any, will be calculated based on the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the five (5) day trading period commencing on the opening of trading on the third trading day following the achievement of the applicable milestone. As of September 30, 2021, none of the contingent events have occurred. See Note 6 – Business Combinations for further discussion of the Holo Surgical Acquisition.
9.Inventories
The inventory balances as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consist entirely of finished goods. The Company values its inventories at the lower of net realizable value or cost using first-in, first-out (FIFO).
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had inventory write-downs of $1.4 million and $5.6 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had inventory write-downs of $5.8 million and $9.6 million, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded depreciation expense in connection with property and equipment of $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded depreciation expense in connection with property and equipment of $1.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded asset impairment and abandonment charges of $5.0 million and $9.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded asset impairment and abandonment charges of $9.4 million and $12.0 million, respectively. The fair value of property and equipment was measured utilizing an orderly liquidation value of each of the underlying assets.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company capitalized a total of $3.2 million and $0.0 million of internal software expense related to the implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") system. These expenses have been recorded within "Construction in process" as the development is still on going.
As part of the quarterly impairment analysis, the Company impaired $0.3 million in March 2021, $0.8 million in June 2021, and $2.0 million in September 2021 of the capitalized ERP costs. The impairment charges were triggered by continued negative operating cash flows.
16
For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company expensed $0.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively, related to the ERP implementation. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the company expensed $0.1 million and $0.0 million, respectively, related to the ERP implementation costs which were not capitalizable. These non-capitalizable expenses are recorded in the “Marketing, general, and administrative” line on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss).
12.Warrants
On June 14, 2021, the Company issued and sold in a registered direct offering priced at-the-market an aggregate of 28,985,508 shares of its common stock and warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 28,985,508 shares of Company common stock, at a combined purchase price of $1.725 per share. The warrants have an exercise price equal to $1.725 per share, are exercisable immediately upon issuance and will expire three years from the issuance date. The net proceeds from the direct offering, after deducting investor and management fees, were $45.8 million. Upon any exercise of the offering warrants issued in the offering for cash, the Company agreed to pay the placement agent a total cash fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the exercise of the offering warrants and a management fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the exercise of the offering warrants. The Company, also in connection with the direct offering, issued the placement agent or its designees warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,739,130 shares of its common stock. The placement agent warrants have substantially the same terms as the warrants described above, except that the placement agent warrants will have an exercise price of $2.15625 per share, and holders of the placement agent warrants are not entitled to receive cash dividends issued by the Company during such time as the placement agent warrant is outstanding.
The Company accounts for its warrants in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815”), under which the warrants did not meet the criteria for equity classification and thus were recorded as liabilities. Since the warrants met the definition of a derivative in accordance with ASC 815, these warrants were measured at fair value at inception and will be remeasured at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income in the period of change. The Company determined the fair value of its warrants based on the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model.
13.Fair Value Information
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy defines a three-level valuation hierarchy for classification and disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Acquisition Contingencies
Zyga - On January 4, 2018, the Company acquired Zyga Technology, Inc. (“Zyga”) as further explained in Note 18. As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, based on a probability weighted model, the Company estimated a contingent liability related to the clinical and revenue milestones of $1.1 million. The fair value of the contingent liability was measured using Level 3 inputs. As of December 31, 2020, the Company determined that Zyga was not expected to meet the clinical milestone to earn the contingent consideration. As such, the liability for the milestone payment was reduced to zero as of December 31, 2020 and continues to be zero at September 30, 2021.
Holo Surgical - On October 23, 2020, the Company acquired Holo Surgical as previously explained in Note 6 above. A portion of the consideration is contingent upon the achievement of certain regulatory, commercial and utilization milestones (the “milestone payment”). The contingent consideration is evaluated quarterly, or more frequently, if circumstances dictate. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded in the "Gain on acquisition contingency" line item in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss). Significant changes in
17
unobservable inputs, mainly the probability of success and cash flows projected, could result in material changes to the contingent consideration liabilities.
The Company determined the fair value of each milestone payment to be the present value of the future payment amount estimated using a probability weighted model. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, a probability of success factor ranging from 0% to 90%, and 60% to 90%, respectively, was used in the fair value calculation to reflect inherent regulatory, development and commercial risk of the contingent payments. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the discount rate applied ranged from 0.05% to 11.17% and 0.11% to 16.86%, respectively. This fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the milestone payments is based on several factors, such as: the probability of expected achievement of the specific milestones, including risks associated with uncertainty regarding achievement and payment of milestones; obtaining regulatory approvals in the United States and Europe; development of new features used with the product; adaption of the new technology by surgeons; and placement of the devices within the field.
As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of the contingent liability was $56.5 million with $9.0 million classified as current liability included within the "Accrued expenses" line, and $47.5 million as long-term liability included within "Other long-term liabilities." As of September 30, 2021, the fair value of the contingent liability was $53.0 million with $18.4 million classified as current liability included within the "Accrued expenses" line, and $34.6 million as long-term liability included within "Other long-term liabilities."

Property and Equipment, Intangibles and Other Assets
Fair value is measured using Level 3 inputs for property and equipment, other intangible assets, and other assets. As of September 30, 2021, the Level 3 fair value was measured based on orderly liquidation value for the property and equipment and other assets. Other intangible assets Level 3 fair value was measured based on the income approach. Because the Company’s forecasted cash flow is negative, any intangible assets acquired during the period were immediately impaired, as the underlying business could not support the asset value.
Unobservable inputs for the orderly liquidation value included replacement costs (unobservable), physical deterioration estimates (unobservable) and market sales data for comparable assets and unobservable inputs for the income approach included forecasted cash flows generated from use of the intangible assets (unobservable).
Property and equipment, other intangibles and other assets were impaired and written down to their estimated fair values during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020. As a result of impairments recognized, the following table summarizes the fair value of assets subject to fair value measured using Level 3 inputs for the periods presented:

16.Income Taxes
The Company evaluates the need for deferred tax asset valuation allowances based on a more likely than not standard. The ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on the ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods provided for in the tax law for each applicable tax jurisdiction. The Company has evaluated all evidence, both positive and negative, and determined that its deferred tax assets are not more likely than not to be realized. In making this determination, numerous factors were considered including the Company’s cumulative losses in recent years.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 the Company recorded $1.3 million of income tax benefit, and recorded no income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The September 30, 2021 three-month income tax provision was primarily a result of the net change in uncertain tax positions. The September 30, 2020 three-month income tax provision was a result of the full valuation allowance.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $1.0 million of income tax benefit and $3.5 million of income tax benefit, respectively. The September 30, 2021 nine-month income tax provision was primarily a result of federal interest liability as a result of timing of payments and the net change in uncertain tax positions. The September 30, 2020 nine-month income tax benefit was primarily impacted by the CARES Act tax benefit.

On July 24, 2020, the Company redeemed the Series A Preferred Stock for approximately $66.5 million and a Certificate of Retirement was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State retiring the Series A Preferred Stock.
18.Commitments and Contingencies
Acquisition of Paradigm – On March 8, 2019, pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, the Company acquired Paradigm in a cash and stock transaction valued at up to $300.0 million consisting of $150.0 million of cash on March 8, 2019, plus potential future milestone payments. Paradigm’s primary product is the coflex® Interlaminar Stabilization® device, a minimally invasive motion preserving stabilization implant that is FDA premarket approved for the treatment of moderate to severe lumbar spinal stenosis in conjunction with decompression.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid $100.0 million in cash and issued 10,729,614 shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares of Company common stock issued on March 8, 2019, were valued based on the volume weighted average closing trading price for the trading days prior to the date of execution of the definitive agreement, representing $50.0 million of value. In addition, under the terms of the agreement, the Company may have been required to pay up to an additional $150.0 million in a combination of cash and Company common stock based on a revenue earnout consideration. The first potential earnout payment of $20.0 million was based on revenues achieved during any twelve-month period ending on December 31, 2020. As the revenue milestone was not achieved, there was no consideration due with respect to the first earnout period and the Company has no further liability with respect thereto. Based on a probability weighted model, the Company estimates a contingent liability related to the revenue based earnout of zero utilizing a Monte-Carlo simulation model. A Monte-Carlo simulation is an analytical method used to estimate fair value by performing a large number of simulations or trial runs and thereby determining a value based on the possible outcomes. Accounted for as a liability to be revalued at each reporting period, the fair value of the contingent liability was measured using Level 3 inputs, which includes weighted average cost of capital and projected revenues and costs.
Acquisition of Zyga – On January 4, 2018, the Company acquired Zyga, a spine-focused medical device company that develops and produces innovative minimally invasive devices to treat underserved conditions of the lumbar spine.
21
Zyga’s primary product is the SImmetry® Sacroiliac Joint Fusion System. Under the terms of the merger agreement dated January 4, 2018, the Company acquired Zyga for $21.0 million in consideration paid at closing (consisting of borrowings of $18.0 million on its revolving credit facility and $3.0 million cash on hand), $1.0 million contingent upon the successful achievement of a clinical milestone, and a revenue based earnout consideration of up to an additional $35.0 million. As of September 30, 2021, the Company determined that Zyga was not expected to meet the clinical milestone to earn the contingent consideration.
Aziyo – On August 1, 2018, the Company and Aziyo Biologics, Inc. entered into a Distribution Agreement which was subsequently amended on December 3, 2018, and November 15, 2020 (the “Distribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Company has exclusive distribution rights to certain biologic implants manufactured by Aziyo and marketed under the ViBone trade name (“ViBone”). The Distribution Agreement provides for minimum purchases of ViBone implants on an annual basis through calendar 2025. For calendar years 2019-2021, if the minimum purchase obligations for a particular year are not fulfilled, the Distribution Agreement provides various options for the Company to satisfy such obligations (“Shortfall Obligations”) in subsequent years, including a combination of payments and/or providing purchase orders for the shortfall amount in a given year. For calendar years 2022 and beyond, if the Company does not satisfy the minimum purchase obligations specified in the Distribution Agreement, the Company can continue to market the ViBone implants on a non-exclusive basis without any Shortfall Obligations. In January 2021, the Company issued a purchase order to Aziyo for $12.4 million relating to the 2020 Shortfall Obligation.
Acquisition of Holo Surgical – As part of the Holo Surgical acquisition, the Company estimated a total contingent liability of $50.6 million with 9.0 million classified as current liabilities and $41.6 million classified as long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets on the acquisition date of October 23, 2020. The fair value of the liability was subsequently changed to $56.5 million on December 31, 2020 with $9.0 million classified as current liabilities within "Accrued expenses" while $47.5 million classified as "Other long-term liabilities." The fair value of the liability was $53.0 million as of September 30, 2021 with $18.4 million classified as current liabilities within "Accrued expenses" in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, while $34.6 million is included as "Other long-term liabilities." The change in the fair value of the liability of $3.6 million since December 31, 2020 was recognized in the gain on acquisition contingency line of the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss). See Note 6 for further information of the Holo Surgical acquisition.
Manufacturing Agreements with Former OEM Affiliates – In connection with the closing of the OEM Transaction, on July 20, 2020 the Company entered into three manufacturing and distribution agreements with affiliates of Montague Private Equity: (i) a Manufacture and Distribution Agreement (the “Hardware MDA”) with Pioneer Surgical Technology, Inc. (“Pioneer”) pursuant to which Pioneer will manufacture certain hardware implants for the Company; (ii) a Processing and Distribution Agreement with RTI Surgical, Inc. (“RTI”), an affiliate of Pioneer, pursuant to which RTI would process certain biologic implants for the Company (the “PDA”); and (iii) a Manufacture and Distribution Agreement (NanOss) pursuant to which Pioneer would manufacture certain synthetic implants for the Company (the “NanOss MDA”), and together with the Hardware MDA and the PDA, the “OEM Distribution Agreements.” The OEM Distribution Agreements contain aggregate minimum purchase obligations for each of the first three years of the agreements as follows:
•Year 1: $24.2 million
•Year 2: $25.8 million
•Year 3: $27.2 million
The OEM Distribution Agreements contain provisions whereby the minimum purchase obligations are reduced under certain circumstances, including certain force majeure events and termination of the agreements for certain specified reasons.
In addition, on July 20, 2020, the Company entered into a Design and Development Agreement with Pioneer pursuant to which Pioneer will provide certain design and development services with respect to certain implants (the “Design and Development Agreement”). The Design and Development Agreement contains a provision whereby the Company will pay Pioneer a minimum of $1.7 million for direct labor costs and certain services with respect to maintaining design history files in each of the first two years under the Design and Development Agreement.
OPM Agreement – On January 20, 2021, the Company and Oxford Performance Materials, Inc. (“Oxford”) entered into an Amended and Restated License and Supply Agreement (the “Oxford Supply Agreement”) pursuant to which Oxford licenses certain intellectual property to the Company and supplies the Company on an exclusive basis in the United States with Polyetherketoneketone (“PEKK”) material for use in spinal implants. In addition to certain royalties under the Oxford Supply Agreement, the Company is obligated to issue binding purchase orders in each quarter of 2021 of
22
at least $0.2 million, or $0.6 million in the aggregate. Although the contract extends through 2025, there are no minimum purchase obligations beyond 2021.
San Diego Lease – On March 12, 2021, the Company entered into a Lease (the “Lease”) with SNH Medical Office Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Landlord”), to house the Company’s offices, lab and innovation space (the “Building”) in San Diego, California. The initial term of the Lease is twelve years, with one extension option for a period of seven years.
Under the terms of the Lease, the Company will lease an aggregate of approximately 94,457 rentable square feet building located at 3030 Science Park Road, San Diego, California (the “Premises”). The Landlord will make improvements over the next 12 months, after which occupancy is expected to be delivered to the Company.
Aggregate payments towards base rent for the Premises over the term of the lease will be approximately $64.6 million, including 13 months of rent abatement. The Company will recognize the lease assets and liabilities when the Landlord makes the underlying asset available to the Company and as such no amounts were accrued as of September 30, 2021. Concurrent with the Company’s execution of the Lease, as a security deposit, the Company delivered to the Landlord a payment in the amount of $2.5 million which is recorded within "Other assets – net" in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
19.Legal Actions
The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the ordinary course of business. Based on the information currently available to the Company, including the availability of coverage under its insurance policies, the Company does not believe that any of these claims that were outstanding as of September 30, 2021 will have a material adverse impact on its financial position or results of operations. The Company’s accounting policy is to accrue for legal costs as they are incurred.
Coloplast — RTI Surgical, Inc., as a predecessor to the Company, is presently named as co-defendant along with other companies in a small percentage of the transvaginal surgical mesh (“TSM”) mass tort claims being brought in various state and federal courts. The TSM litigation has as its catalyst various Public Health Notifications issued by the FDA with respect to the placement of certain TSM implants that were the subject of 510(k) regulatory clearance prior to their distribution. The Company does not process or otherwise manufacture for distribution in the U.S. any implants that were the subject of these FDA Public Health Notifications. The Company denies any allegations against it and intends to continue to vigorously defend itself.
In addition to claims made directly against the Company, Coloplast, a distributor of TSM’s and certain allografts processed and private labeled for them under a contract with the Company, has also been named as a defendant in individual TSM cases in various federal and state courts. Coloplast requested that the Company indemnify or defend Coloplast in those claims which allege injuries caused by the Company’s allograft implants, and on April 24, 2014, Coloplast sued RTI Surgical, Inc. in the Fourth Judicial District of Minnesota for declaratory relief and breach of contract. On December 11, 2014, Coloplast entered into a settlement agreement with RTI Surgical, Inc. and Tutogen Medical, Inc. (the “Company Parties”) resulting in dismissal of the case. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company Parties are responsible for the defense and indemnification of two categories of present and future claims: (1) tissue only (where Coloplast is solely the distributor of Company processed allograft tissue and no Coloplast-manufactured or distributed synthetic mesh is identified) (“Tissue Only Claims”), and (2) tissue plus non-Coloplast synthetic mesh (“Tissue-Non-Coloplast Claims”) (the Tissue Only Claims and the Tissue-Non-Coloplast Claims being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Claims”). As of September 30, 2021, there are a cumulative total of 1,157 Indemnified Claims for which the Company Parties are providing defense and indemnification. In connection with the transactions, liabilities related to these claims remained a liability retained by the Company. The defense and indemnification of these cases are covered under the Company’s insurance policy subject to a reservation of rights by the insurer.
Based on the current information available to the Company, the impact that current or any future TSM litigation may have on the Company cannot be reasonably estimated.
LifeNet — On June 27, 2018, LifeNet Health, Inc. (“LifeNet”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida (since moved to the Northern District of Florida) claiming infringement of five of its patents by the Company’s predecessor RTI Surgical, Inc. The suit requests damages, enhanced damages, reimbursement of costs and expenses, reasonable attorney fees, and an injunction. The asserted patents are expired. On April 7, 2019, the Court granted the Company’s request to stay the lawsuit pending the U.S. Patent Trial and
23
Appeal Board’s (“PTAB”) decision whether to institute review of the patentability of LifeNet’s patents. On August 12, 2019 the PTAB instituted review of three LifeNet patents, and on September 3, 2019 the PTAB instituted review of the remaining two. On August 4, 2020 and August 26, 2020, the PTAB issued final written decisions finding that certain claims were shown to be unpatentable and others not. Neither party appealed the PTAB’s decisions with respect to the three LifeNet patents on which the PTAB instituted review on August 12, 2019. With respect to the remaining two LifeNet patents, Surgalign filed Notices of Appeal with the Federal Circuit on October 27, 2020 and LifeNet filed a Notice of Cross-appeal on November 9, 2020. The briefings related to these appeals were filed in the March through July timeframe and oral argument were heard on November 5, 2021. In connection with the transactions, liabilities related to these claims remained a liability retained by the Company. The Company continues to believe the suit is without merit and will vigorously defend its position. Based on the current information available to the Company, the impact that current or any future litigation may have on the Company cannot be reasonably estimated.
Securities Class Action—There is currently ongoing stockholder litigation related to the Company’s Investigation (as defined below). A class action complaint was filed by Patricia Lowry, a purported shareholder of the Company, against the Company, and certain former officers of the Company, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on March 23, 2020 asserting claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and demanding a jury trial (the “Lowry Action”). The court appointed a different shareholder as Lead Plaintiff and she filed an amended complaint on August 31, 2020. On October 15, 2020, the Company and the other named defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. In April 2021, the court denied the defendants’ motions to dismiss. On June 30, 2021, the parties to the Lowry Action conducted a mediation session, after which negotiations among the parties continued into July. On July 27, 2021 a binding term sheet settling the Lowry Action was entered into whereby the defendants will pay $10.5 million (inclusive of attorneys’ fees and administrative costs) in exchange for the dismissal with prejudice of all claims against the defendants in connection with the Lowry Action (the “Lowry Settlement”). On September 22, 2021 the court granted preliminary approval to the Lowry Settlement, and the settlement amount was paid by the Company’s insurers under its directors and officers’ insurance policies in October 2021. The Lowry Settlement is subject to final court approval. A hearing is scheduled for January 24, 2022 for the court to determine whether to give final approval to the Lowry Settlement. The Company has recorded a $10.5 million loss contingency and a $10.5 million insurance recovery as of September 30, 2021 within the "Marketing, general and administrative" expense line on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss). A corresponding receivable and liability of $10.5 million was recorded within "Prepaid and other current assets," and "Accrued expenses" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. This amount was paid and settled by the insurance company on October 5, 2021.
Derivative Lawsuits—Three derivative lawsuits have also been filed on behalf of the Company, naming it as a nominal defendant, and demanding a jury trial. On June 5, 2020, David Summers filed a shareholder derivative lawsuit (the “Summers Action”) against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company (as well as the Company as a nominal defendant), in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois asserting statutory claims under Sections 10(b), 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, as well as common law claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and corporate waste. Thereafter, two similar shareholder derivative lawsuits asserting many of the same claims were filed in the same court against the same current and former directors and officers of the Company (as well as the Company as a nominal defendant). The three derivative lawsuits have been consolidated into the first-filed Summers Action. On September 6, 2020 the court entered an order staying the Summers Action pending resolution of the motions to dismiss in the Lowry Action. On September 30, 2021, the court granted preliminary approval of a proposed settlement of the Derivative Actions (the “Derivative Actions Settlement”). Pursuant to the Derivative Actions Settlement, the Company has agreed to adopt or revise certain corporate governance policies and procedures, and the Company’s insurers will pay attorney’s fees and expenses of no more than $1.5 million to plaintiffs’ counsel. Based on this a corresponding receivable and liability of $1.5 million was recorded within "Prepaid and other current assets," and "Accrued expenses" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Derivative Actions Settlement is subject to final court approval. A hearing is scheduled for January 24, 2022 for the court to determine whether to give final approval to the Derivative Actions Settlement.
In the future, we may become subject to additional litigation or governmental proceedings or investigations that could result in additional unanticipated legal costs regardless of the outcome of the litigation. If we are not successful in any such litigation, we may be required to pay substantial damages or settlement costs. Based on the current information available to the Company, the impact that current or any future stockholder litigation may have on the Company cannot be reasonably estimated.

20.Regulatory Actions
SEC Investigations— As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2020, and the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 8, 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, with the assistance of independent legal and forensic accounting advisors, conducted an internal investigation of matters relating to the Company’s revenue recognition practices for certain contractual arrangements, primarily with customers of the Company’s formerly-owned OEM Businesses, including the accounting treatment, financial reporting and internal controls related to such arrangements (the “Investigation”). The Investigation also examined transactions to understand the practices related to manual journal entries for accrual and reserve accounts. As a result of the Investigation, the Audit Committee concluded that the Company would restate its previously issued audited financial statements for fiscal years 2018, 2017 and 2016, selected financial data for fiscal years 2015 and 2014, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods within these years commencing with the first quarter of 2016, as well as the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods within the 2019 fiscal year. The Investigation was precipitated by an investigation by the SEC initially related to the periods 2014 through 2016 (the “SEC Investigation”). The SEC Investigation is ongoing and the Company is cooperating with the SEC. The Company has contacted the SEC regarding a potential settlement of the SEC Investigation and is awaiting a response. Based on the current information available to the Company the financial or other impact of the SEC Investigation cannot be reasonably determined. In addition, on April 30, 2021, the Company and one of its executive officers each received a subpoena from the SEC requesting documents in an investigation relating to trading in the Company’s securities in late 2019 and early 2020. On October 18, 2021, the Company and the executive officer each received a termination letter from the SEC advising them that the SEC had concluded its investigation as to them and that the Staff did not intend to recommend any enforcement action by the SEC.
21.Related Party Transactions
The Company’s related parties include: i) a person who is or was (since the beginning of the last fiscal year for which the Company has filed a Form 10-K and proxy statement, even if he or she does not presently serve in that role) an executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director; ii) granter than five percent beneficial owner of the Company’s common stock; or iii) immediate family member of any of the foregoing. The Company did not enter into any related party transactions in 2018 and 2019. In 2020, the Company has entered into the following related party transactions:
The Holo Surgical Acquisition
As discussed in Note 6, on September 29, 2020, the Company entered into the Holo Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company consummated the Acquisition on October 23, 2020. As consideration for the Acquisition, the Company paid to Seller $30.0 million in cash and issued to Seller 6,250,000 shares of its common stock with a fair value of $12.3 million. In addition, the Seller will be entitled to receive contingent consideration from the Company valued at $50.6 million as of October 23, 2020, which must be first paid in shares of our common stock (in an amount up to 8,650,000 shares) and then paid in cash thereafter, contingent upon and following the achievement of certain regulatory, commercial and utilization milestones by specified time periods occurring up to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date. Dr. Pawel Lewicki, a member of the Company’s board of directors, indirectly owns approximately 57.5% of the outstanding ownership interests in the Seller. Dr. Lewicki was appointed to the Company’s board of directors on November 23, 2020.
Simpson Consulting Agreement
On July 15, 2020, the Board appointed Stuart F. Simpson to serve as the Chairman of the Board, effective immediately upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Holo Surgical Purchase Agreement. On July 20, 2020, Mr. Simpson entered into a consulting agreement (“the Consulting Agreement”) with the Company, pursuant to which he will provide consulting services to the Company. The Consulting Agreement has an initial term of three years, but may be extended with the mutual agreement of the parties. On September 10, 2021, Mr. Simpson resigned as Chairman of the Board and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Due to his resignation, Mr. Simpson's Consulting agreement with the Company was terminated.

Management Overview
We are a global medical technology company focused on elevating the standard of care by driving the evolution of digital surgery. We have a broad portfolio of spinal hardware implants, including solutions for fusion procedures in the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical spine, motion preservation solutions for the lumbar spine, and a minimally invasive surgical implant system for fusion of the sacroiliac joint. We also have a portfolio of advanced and traditional orthobiologics, or biomaterials. We are developing an augmented reality and artificial intelligence digital surgery platform called HOLO™ to enable digital spine surgery, which we believe is one of the most advanced artificial intelligence technologies being applied to surgery. HOLO Portal™ surgical guidance system, a component of our HOLO™ platform, is designed to automatically recognize, identify, and segment patient anatomy to autonomously assist the surgeon throughout the surgical procedure. This proprietary artificial intelligence-based platform system is an intelligent anatomical mapping technology designed to assist surgeons by allowing them to remain in safe anatomical zones, and to enhance surgical performance. We plan to leverage our digital surgery platform to improve patient outcomes and drive adoption of our spinal hardware implants and biomaterials products. We are developing a pipeline of new innovative technologies that we plan to integrate with our digital surgery platform.
Our product portfolio of spinal hardware implants and biomaterials products address an estimated $13.6 billion global spine market. We estimate that our current portfolio addresses nearly 87% of all surgeries utilizing spinal hardware implants and approximately 70% of the biomaterials used in spine-related uses. Our portfolio of spinal hardware implants consists of a broad line of solutions for spinal fusion in minimally invasive surgery (“MIS”), deformity, and degenerative procedures; motion preservation solutions indicated for use in one or two-level disease; and an implant system designed to relieve sacroiliac joint pain. Our biomaterials products consist of a broad range of advanced and traditional bone graft substitutes that are designed to improve bone fusion rates following spinal surgery.
We offer a portfolio of products for thoracolumbar procedures, including: the Streamline TL Spinal Fixation system, a system for degenerative and complex spine procedures; and the Streamline MIS Spinal Fixation System, a broad range of implants and instruments used via a percutaneous or mini-open approach. We offer a complementary line of interbody fusion devices, Fortilink-TS, Fortilink-L, and Fortilink-A, in our TETRAfuse 3D Technology, which is 3D printed with nano-rough features that have been shown to allow more bone cells to attach to more of the implant, increasing the potential for fusion. We offer a portfolio of products for cervical procedures, including: the CervAlign ACP System, a comprehensive anterior cervical plate system; the Fortilink-C IBF System, a cervical interbody fusion device that utilizes TETRAfuse 3D technology; and the Streamline OCT System, a broad range of implants used in the occipito-cervico-thoracic posterior spine. Our motion preservation systems are designed to enable restoration of segmental stability, while preserving motion. These systems include: Coflex Interlaminar Stabilization device, the only FDA PMA-approved implant for the treatment of moderate to severe lumbar spinal stenosis in conjunction with decompression; and HPS 2.0 Universal Fixation System, a pedicle screw system used for posterior stabilization of the thoracolumbar spine that includes a unique dynamic coupler, shown to preserve motion and reduce the mechanical burden on adjacent segments. Our implant system for fusion of the sacroiliac joint, SImmetry SI Joint Fusion System, is a minimally invasive surgical implant system that has been clinically demonstrated to produce high rates of sacroiliac joint fusion and statistically significant decreases in opioid use, pain, and disability.
Through a series of distribution agreements, our product portfolio of biomaterials consists of a variety of bone graft substitutes including cellular allografts, demineralized bone matrices (“DBMs”) and synthetic bone growth substitutes that have a balance of osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties to enhance bone fusion rates following spinal surgery. We market ViBone and ViBone Moldable, two next-generation viable cellular allograft bone matrix products intended to provide surgeons with improved results for bone repair. ViBone and ViBone Moldable are processed using a proprietary method optimized to protect and preserve the health of native bone cells to potentially enhance new bone formation and are
27
designed to perform and handle in a manner similar to an autograft. ViBone and ViBone Moldable contain cancellous bone particles as well as demineralized cortical bone particles and fibers, delivering osteoinductive, osteoconductive, and osteogenic properties. Our DBM product offering includes BioSet, BioReady, and BioAdapt, a DBM portfolio consisting of putty, putty with chips, strips, and boat configurations for various surgical applications while providing osteoinductive properties to aid in bone fusion. Our synthetic bone growth substitutes include nanOss and nanOss 3D Plus, a family of products that provide osteoconductive nano-structured hydroxyapatite (“HA”) and an engineered extracellular matrix bioscaffold collagen carrier that mimics a natural bone growth solution.
The HOLO Portal system combines (i) advanced augmented reality to provide the surgeon with an “X-ray vision”-like 3D overlay rendering of the patient’s anatomy, (ii) automated image processing and modular spine level identification and segmentation so the system knows the patient’s anatomy to enhance navigation, (iii) autonomous planning software and implant selection, and (iv) artificial intelligence and predictive analytics to provide autonomous guidance for preoperative and intraoperative surgeon decision-making. HOLO™’s artificial intelligence has the ability to recognize the difference between patient anatomy, such as a nerve root and a blood vessel, and help identify anatomy within complex areas of the spine, where it is easy to miscount levels. The HOLO Portal system has been designed with a unique setup process of quickly establishing the synchronization between virtual images and the patient’s real anatomy, a process called registration. Many other computer-assisted spine surgery and robotics systems have long setup requirements and registration times that can result in surgery delays, leading to inefficiencies that are cited as a major reason why surgeons have not yet widely adopted navigation and robotic technology. HOLO Portal surgical guidance has been designed to provide surgeons with real-time perioperative information such as alerts and suggestions to ensure the correct operative plan is being followed, decrease surgical complications, reduce surgical times, and improve patient outcomes. We filed an FDA 510(k) premarket submission for our HOLO Portal platform in the first quarter of 2021.
We plan to develop and commercialize several next-generation features for the HOLO technology platform, including smart instrumentation, integration with robotic platforms, patient-specific 3D printed implants, and diagnostic and predictive analytics. These surgical devices will be designed with tracking technology intended to allow real-time 3D visualization and positioning of the instruments in the surgical field and autonomous safety features to aid in surgical precision and help avoid potential damage to surrounding tissue and neurological structures. We are designing HOLO technology to be integrated with existing robotic platforms to make them “smart” by identifying relevant anatomy. In addition, we are designing the HOLO platform with a software application to enable patient-specific implants with exact dimensions, shape, and contour based on a patient’s specific bone density and height. We are also developing a novel diagnostic and predictive analytics capability using machine learning that leverages a large volume of patient data with known outcomes to allow for autonomous identification of spinal pathology.
We have aligned our core business principles with a focused business strategy that we believe will advance and scale our business with the ultimate goal of delivering on our promise to provide better patient outcomes. To support this effort, we have assembled a spine-industry experienced executive leadership team to execute against our growth strategy, which includes leveraging our digital surgery platform to improve patient outcomes and drive adoption of our spinal hardware implants and biomaterials products, developing and commercializing an increased cadence of innovative spinal hardware implants and biomaterials products, validating our innovative products with clinical evidence, growing our international business, and strategically pursuing acquisition, license, and distribution opportunities.
We currently market and sell our products to hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and healthcare providers in the United States and in more than 40 countries worldwide. Our U.S. sales organization consists of area sales directors and regional product specialists who oversee a network of independent spine and orthobiologics distributors who receive commissions for sales that they generate. Our international sales organization is composed of a sales management team that oversees a network of direct sales representatives, independent spine and orthobiologics distributors, and stocking distributors.
Sale of OEM Business, Retirement of Debt and Redemption of Preferred Stock
On July 20, 2020, pursuant to the OEM Purchase Agreement, by and between us and Ardi Bidco Ltd. (the “Buyer”), the Company sold the OEM Businesses to Buyer and its affiliates for a purchase price of $440.0 million of cash, subject to certain adjustments. In connection therewith on July 20, 2020, we (i) paid in full our $80.0 million revolving credit facility under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of June 5, 2018 (the “2018 Credit Agreement”), by and among Surgalign Spine Technologies, Inc. (formerly known as RTI Surgical, Inc. (“Legacy RTI”)), as a borrower, Pioneer Surgical Technology, Inc. (“Pioneer Surgical”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, as a borrower, the other loan parties thereto as guarantors (together, with Legacy RTI and Pioneer Surgical, the “JPM Loan Parties”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”), as lender (together with the various financial institutions as in the future may become parties thereto, the “JPM Lenders”) and as administrative agent for the JPM Lenders, as amended, (ii) terminated the 2018 Credit Agreement, (iii)
28
paid in full our $100.0 million term loan and $30.0 million incremental term loan commitment under that certain Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2019 (the “2019 Credit Agreement”), by and among Surgalign Spine Technologies, Inc., as borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Ares Capital Corporation (“Ares”), as administrative agent for the other lenders party thereto (the “Ares Lenders”), as amended and (iv) terminated the 2019 Credit Agreement.
On December 1, 2020, pursuant to the OEM Purchase Agreement, we received a notice from the Buyer indicating that a post-closing adjustment in an amount of up to $14.0 million may be owed in respect of the working capital adjustment paid at closing. We disagreed with the Buyer’s proposed post-closing adjustment and disputed the adjustment in accordance with the terms of the OEM Purchase Agreement. On June 3, 2021, the firm engaged to resolve the dispute issued a binding, non-appealable resolution whereby it was determined the Company was liable for $5.8 million of the amount remaining in dispute, which was finalized and paid during the second quarter of 2021. The final settlement was expensed under (Loss) from operations of discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss).
The OEM Businesses met the criteria within ASC 205-20 to be reported as discontinued operations because the Transactions were a strategic shift in business that had a major effect on our operations and financial results. Therefore, we are reporting the historical results of the OEM Businesses including the results of operations and cash flows as discontinued operations, and related assets and liabilities were retrospectively reclassified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations for all periods presented herein. Unless otherwise noted, applicable amounts in the prior year have been recast to conform to this discontinued operations presentation. See Note 3 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, “Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Exhibit for additional information. Unless otherwise indicated, the following information relates to continuing operations. A more complete description of our business prior to the Transactions is included in Item 1. “Business”, in Part I of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 16, 2021, and as amended by our Annual Report (Amendment No. 1) on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021.

See Note 6 – Business Combinations.
COVID-19
As discussed in more detail above in Part I, Item 1, “Business” of this Exhibit, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has adversely affected our business. The consequences of the outbreak and impact on the economy continues to evolve and the full extent of the impact is uncertain as of the date of this filing. The outbreak has already had, and continues to have, a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition, and has significantly disrupted our operations.
Recent Supplier Quality Issues
The Company has recently experienced various quality issues in its global supply chain. These quality issues include product delays, quality holds, and recalls. Given the Company’s focus on patient safety, this has resulted in the Company devoting significant time and resources to address these issues and prevent similar ones from occurring in the future. In addition, these quality issues have adversely affected the Company’s results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, and is expected to continue to have an effect throughout the remainder of 2021. Although the Company is diligently working with its suppliers to remediate these matters, no assurance can be given as to the duration and impact of these issues.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2021, Compared With Three Months Ended September 30, 2020
Revenues – Our revenues decreased $7.4 million, or 26.4%, to $20.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $27.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, partially due to decreased demand during the quarter as a result of the continued hospital and surgery center decrease in procedures due to COVID-19 and other commercial pressures.
Cost of Goods Sold – Costs of goods sold decreased $5.1 million, or 42.7%, to $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $11.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in costs of goods sold was primarily due to the decrease in sales period over period.
Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses – Marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 0.4%, to $27.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $27.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Research and Development Expenses – Research and development expenses increased $0.7 million or 31.4%, to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase is driven by the continued focus on the development of the HOLOTM platform and obtaining regulatory approval.
Asset Impairment and Abandonments – Asset impairment and abandonments expenses decreased $3.9 million or 42.2% to $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in instrument purchases during the course of 2021, and due to the impairment of the Spine asset group property, plant and equipment impaired in 2020.
Transaction and Integration Expenses – Transaction and integration expenses decreased $3.4 million or 100.0% to $0.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was caused by the fact that there were no transaction or integrated expenses incurred during the three month period ended September 30, 2021.
Other Operating Income - Net – Other operating income, net was $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 related to the Company's inventory settlement with OEM.
Total Other (Income) Expense - Net – Total other (income) expense - net for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $7.4 million of income compared to less than $0.1 million of income for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was caused by a decrease in the fair value of our warrant liability of $7.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit – For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $1.3 million of income tax benefit and $0.0 million of income tax provision, respectively. The September 30, 2021 three-month income tax provision was primarily a result of the net change in uncertain tax positions. The September 30, 2020 three-month income tax provision was a result of the full valuation allowance.
Discontinued Operations – Net income from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $0.3 million as compared to $149.3 million net income for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This change period over period is caused by the sale of the OEM business during the third quarter ended September 30, 2020 (See Note 3 for further explanation).
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021, Compared With Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020
Revenues – Our revenues decreased $6.9 million, or 9.1%, to $68.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $75.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, partially due to the continued pressures and shutdowns due to COVID-19 and other commercial pressures.
Cost of Goods Sold – Costs of goods sold decreased $10.3 million, or 33.7%, to $20.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $30.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in costs of goods sold was due to; The lower sales in the current period and certain direct manufacturing costs related to excess and obsolete inventory in the prior period.
Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses – Marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased $17.6 million, or 18.2%, to $79.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $96.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in marketing, general and administrative costs is driven by reduction
31
in spending through the simplification of the distribution and administrative infrastructure, and reduction in spending due to the sale of the OEM Businesses.
Research and Development Expenses – Research and development expenses decreased $0.8 million or 8.2%, to $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease is mainly driven by the decrease in product development and spending with the traditional hardware business.
Asset Impairment and Abandonments – Asset impairment and abandonments expenses decreased $2.3 million or 19.2% to $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by the impairment of the Spine property and equipment in 2020.
Transaction and Integration Expenses – Transaction and integration expenses decreased $3.3 million or 56.92% to $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Total Other (Income) Expense - Net – Total other (income) expense - net for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $9.6 million of income compared to $0.1 million of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The $9.5 million increase was mainly attributable to a $10.3 million decrease in the fair value of our warrant liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit – For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $1.0 million of income tax benefit and $3.5 million income of tax benefit, respectively. The September 30, 2021 nine-month income tax provision was primarily a result of federal interest liability as a result of timing of payments and the net change in uncertain tax positions. The September 30, 2020 nine-month income tax benefit was primarily impacted by the CARES Act tax benefit.
Discontinued Operations – Net loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $5.2 million due to the settlement of the OEM purchase agreement working capital dispute (See Note 3), compared to $142.1 million net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We utilize certain financial measures that are not calculated based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 provide 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 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.
To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we disclose non-GAAP net income applicable to common shares and non-GAAP gross profit adjusted for certain amounts. The calculation of the tax effect on the adjustments between GAAP net loss applicable to common shares and non-GAAP net income applicable to common shares is based upon our estimated annual GAAP tax rate, adjusted to account for items excluded from GAAP net loss applicable to common shares in calculating non-GAAP net income applicable to common shares. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures are included in the reconciliations below:

Management removes the amount of these costs including the tax effect on the adjustments from our operating results to supplement a comparison to our past operating performance.
2021 Change in fair value of warrant liability – Other income related to the revaluation of our warrant liability.
2021 Gain on acquisition contingency – The gain on acquisition contingency relates to an adjustment to our estimate of obligation for future milestone payments on the Holo Surgical acquisition.

2021 Severance and restructuring costs – These gain and costs relate to the reduction of our organizational structure, primarily driven by simplification of our Marquette, MI location.
2020 Inventory write-off – These costs relate to the write-off of inventory related to the transition from an integrated manufacturing company to a distributed model.
2020 Restatement and related costs – These costs relate to consulting and legal fees and settlement expenses incurred as a result of the restatement, regulatory and related activities in 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As the global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve, it could continue to materially and adversely affect our revenues, financial condition, profitability, and cash flows for an indeterminate period of time.
As discussed in Note 20, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has an active investigation that remains ongoing. The Company continues to cooperate with the SEC in relation to its investigation. Based on current information available to the Company, the financial impact associated with SEC investigation and shareholder litigation may have on the Company cannot be reasonably estimated.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation one year after the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, and we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
As of September 30, 2021, we had cash of $68.4 million and an accumulated deficit of $524.3 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a loss from continuing operations of $8.3 million and $34.1 million, respectively. We have incurred losses from operations in the previous two fiscal years and did not generate positive cash flows from operations in fiscal year 2020 or through the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
On June 14, 2021, we issued and sold in a registered direct offering an aggregate of 29.0 million shares of our common stock and investor warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 29.0 million shares at a strike price of $1.725. The Company, also in connection with the direct offering, issued placement agent warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 1.7 million shares of our common stock at a strike price of $2.15625 per share. We received net proceeds of $45.8 million from the offering after deducting investor fees of $4.2 million.
On February 1, 2021, we closed a public offering and sold a total 28,700,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.50 per share, less the underwriter discounts and commissions. We received net proceeds of $40.5 million from the offering after deducting the underwriting discounts and commission of $4.0 million.
We project we will continue to generate significant negative operating cash flows over the next 12-months and beyond. In consideration of: i) COVID-19 uncertainties, ii) negative cash flows that are projected over the next 12-month period, iii) uncertainty regarding potential settlements related to ongoing litigation and regulatory investigations, and iv) approximately $18.4 million of the total contingent consideration of $53.0 million is expected to become due to the former owners of Holo Surgical if regulatory approval in the US is obtained in 2021, which would be paid through a combination of common stock and cash; we have forecasted the need to raise additional capital in order to continue as a going concern. The Company’s operating plan for the next 12-month period also includes continued investments in its product pipeline which will necessitate additional debt and/or equity financing in addition to the funding of future operations through 2021 and beyond.
34
In consideration of the inherent risks and uncertainties and the Company’s forecasted negative cash flows as described above, management has concluded that substantial doubt exists with respect to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Management continually evaluates plans to raise additional debt and/or equity financing and will attempt to curtail discretionary expenditures in the future, if necessary, however, in consideration of the risks and uncertainties mentioned, such plans cannot be considered probable of occurring at this time.
The recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its funding requirements on a continuous basis, to maintain existing financing and to succeed in its future operations. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

At September 30, 2021, we had 81 days of revenues outstanding in trade accounts receivable, a decrease of 17 days compared to December 31, 2020. The decrease is primarily due to improved collection efforts in addition to reduced sales.
At September 30, 2021, excluding the purchase accounting step-up of Paradigm inventory, we had 378 days of inventory on hand, an increase of 160 days compared to December 31, 2020. The increase in inventory days is primarily due to the continued purchase of implants during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. We believe that our inventory levels will be adequate to support our on-going operations.
As of September 30, 2021, we have no material off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates based upon our financing, investing and cash management activities.
We are subject to market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates based upon our financing, investing and cash management activities. We are exposed to interest rate risk in the United States and Germany. Changes in interest rates affect interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents. We have not entered into derivative transactions related to cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2021, we did not have any outstanding indebtedness.
The value of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro affects our financial results. Changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively affect revenues, gross margins, operating expenses and net income. Our international operations currently transact business primarily in the Euro. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the period end exchange rate while revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Intercompany transactions are translated from the Euro to the U.S. dollar. Based on our September 30, 2021 outstanding intercompany balances, a 1% change in currency rates would have had a de-minimis impact on our results of operations. We do not expect changes in exchange rates to have a material adverse effect on our income or our cash flows in 2021. However, we can give no assurance that exchange rates will not significantly change in the future.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2021. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2021, due to the existence of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed 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 that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or unaudited interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As previously identified and described more fully under Item 9A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, we identified material weaknesses in the control environment, risk assessment, control activities, monitoring activities, and information and communication components of internal control as we did not appropriately design controls in response to the risk of misstatement due to changes in our business environment. The material weaknesses resulted in misstatements that were corrected in the restatement included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The material weaknesses have not been remediated as of September 30, 2021.
Additionally, the material weaknesses described above could result in a misstatement of the aforementioned account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the annual or unaudited interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weakness
Our management, with oversight from our Audit Committee, continues to take action on the remediation plan more fully described under Item 9A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. This plan includes enhancing the overall internal control environment, the addition of experienced internal resources and/or third-party advisors and the implementation of additional controls and procedures to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting. While the remediation plan has been developed, and action has been taken on resolution of required activities within it, there are still a significant number of steps to be taken to enable management to complete the
36
remediation. Accordingly, we concluded that the material weaknesses had not yet been remediated as of September 30, 2021.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting discovered in fiscal year 2020 existed as of December 31, 2018. Management has taken remediation activities since the time the material weaknesses were identified; however, the remediated controls were not in place for a sufficient period of time to be tested for their design and operational effectiveness. As such, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2021.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
SEC and related Audit Committee Investigation
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2020, and the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 8, 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, with the assistance of independent legal and forensic accounting advisors, conducted an internal investigation of matters relating to the Company’s revenue recognition practices for certain contractual arrangements, primarily with customers of the Company’s formerly-owned OEM Businesses, including the accounting treatment, financial reporting and internal controls related to such arrangements (the “Investigation”). The Investigation also examined transactions to understand the practices related to manual journal entries for accrual and reserve accounts. As a result of the Investigation, the Audit Committee concluded that the Company would restate its previously issued audited financial statements for fiscal years 2018, 2017 and 2016, selected financial data for fiscal years 2015 and 2014, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods within these years commencing with the first quarter of 2016, as well as the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods within the 2019 fiscal year. The Investigation was precipitated by an investigation by the SEC initially related to the periods 2014 through 2016 (the “SEC Investigation”). The SEC Investigation is ongoing and the Company is cooperating with the SEC. The Company has contacted the SEC regarding a potential settlement of the SEC Investigation. Based on the current information available to the Company the financial or other impact of the SEC Investigation cannot be reasonably determined. In addition, on April 30, 2021, the Company and one of its executive officers each received a subpoena from the SEC requesting documents in an investigation relating to trading in the Company’s securities in late 2019 and early 2020. On October 18, 2021, the Company and the executive officer each received a termination letter from the SEC advising them that the SEC had concluded its investigation as to them and that the Staff did not intend to recommend any enforcement action by the SEC.
There is currently ongoing stockholder litigation related to the Company’s Investigation (as defined below). A class action complaint was filed by Patricia Lowry, a purported shareholder of the Company, against the Company, and certain current and former officers of the Company, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on March 23, 2020 asserting claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and demanding a jury trial (“Lowry Action”). The court appointed a different shareholder as Lead Plaintiff and she filed an amended complaint on August 31, 2020. On October 15, 2020, the Company and the other-named defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint. In April 2021, the court denied the defendants’ motions to dismiss. On June 30, 2021, the parties to the Lowry Action conducted a mediation session, after which negotiations among the parties continued into July. On July 27, 2021 a binding term sheet settling the Lowry Action was entered into whereby the defendants will pay $10.5 million (inclusive of attorneys’ fees and administrative costs) in exchange for the dismissal with prejudice of all claims against the defendants in connection with the Lowry Action (the “Lowry Settlement”). On September 22, 2021 the court granted preliminary approval to the Lowry Settlement, and the settlement amount was paid by the Company’s insurers under its directors and officers’ insurance policies in October 2021. The Lowry Settlement is subject to final court approval. A hearing is scheduled for January 24, 2022 for the court to determine whether to give final approval to the Lowry Settlement.
Three derivative lawsuits have also been filed on behalf of the Company, naming it as a nominal defendant, and demanding a jury trial. On June 5, 2020, David Summers filed a shareholder derivative lawsuit (“Summers Action”) against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company (as well as the Company as a nominal defendant), in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois asserting statutory claims under Sections 10(b), 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, as well as common law claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and corporate waste. Thereafter, two similar shareholder derivative lawsuits asserting many of the same claims were filed in the same court against the same current and former directors and officers of the Company (as well as the Company as a nominal defendant). The three derivative lawsuits have been consolidated into the first-filed Summers Action. On September 6, 2020 the Court entered an order staying the Summers Action pending resolution of the motions to dismiss in the Lowry Action. On September 30, 2021, the court granted preliminary approval of a proposed settlement of the Derivative Actions (the “Derivative Actions Settlement”). Pursuant to the Derivative Actions Settlement, the Company has agreed to adopt or revise certain corporate governance policies and procedures. A hearing is scheduled for January 24, 2022 for the court to determine whether to give final approval to the Derivative Actions Settlement.
In the future, we may become subject to additional litigation or governmental proceedings or investigations that could result in additional unanticipated legal costs regardless of the outcome of the litigation. If we are not successful in any such litigation, we may be required to pay substantial damages or settlement costs. Based on the current information
38
available to the Company, the impact that current or any future stockholder litigation may have on the Company cannot be reasonably estimated.
For a further description, we refer you to Part I, Item 1, Note 19 entitled “Legal Actions” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of material legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Except as described below, there has been no material change in our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1.A., Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2021, and as amended by our Annual Report (Amendment No. 1) on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021.
Our appointment of a new registered independent accounting firm could result in delays in the filing of our reports with the SEC, and our new registered independent accounting firm may interpret accounting rules differently than our former firm, which could adversely impact our business.
On April 5, 2021, Deloitte & Touche LLP resigned as our auditors, and we engaged a new firm, Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. Given the complexities of public-company accounting rules, the differences in how those rules are interpreted by various accounting firms, it is possible that our new independent auditor will require us to characterize certain transactions and/or present financial data differently than was approved by our former auditor. Similarly, it is possible that our new independent auditor will disagree with the way we have presented financial results in prior periods, in which case we may be required to restate those financial results. In either case, these changes could negatively impact our future financial results and/or previously reported financial results, could subject us to the expense and other consequences of restating our prior financial statements, and could lead to government investigation and/or shareholder litigation.
We are dependent on our key management and technical personnel for continued success.
Our senior management team is concentrated in a small number of key members, and our future success depends to a meaningful extent on the services of our executive officers and other key team members, including members of our scientific staff. Generally, our executive officers and employees can terminate their employment relationship at any time. The loss of any key employees, including the departure of our Chief Financial Officer in October 2021, or our inability to attract or retain other qualified personnel could materially harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Competition for qualified leadership and scientific personnel in our industry is intense, and we compete for leadership and scientific personnel with other companies that have greater financial and other resources than we do. Our future success will depend in large part on our ability to attract, retain, and motivate highly qualified leadership and scientific personnel, and there can be no assurance that we are able to do so. Any difficulty in hiring or retaining needed personnel, or increased costs related thereto, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Supply chain disruptions could adversely impact our operations and financial condition.
Global supply chains have been disrupted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors. Accordingly, the availability of raw materials and components used in the manufacture of our products may be adversely impacted. Additionally, even when we and our suppliers are able to source such materials and components, they may cost more and may only be available on a delayed basis. Higher materials and component costs could adversely affect our margins if we are unable to pass such costs along to customers in the form of price increases. Delays in receipt of materials and components could also interrupt our production and cause us to go into backorder on certain of our products, further exacerbating the effect of the global supply chain disruption.
