Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Organization

Baxano Surgical, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) is a medical device company focused on designing, developing and marketing minimally invasive products to treat degenerative conditions of the spine affecting the lumbar region. We are passionately committed to delivering innovative technologies to our surgeon customers that benefit their patients. On May 31, 2013, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Racer X Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), consummated our acquisition of Baxano, Inc. (“Baxano”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Baxano, with Baxano remaining as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Immediately following the closing of the Merger on May 31, 2013, we changed our name to Baxano Surgical, Inc. in connection with the merger of this wholly-owned subsidiary with and into the Company. Our condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect the Baxano results, including the iO-Flex ^® and iO-Tome ^® products, from the Merger date, May 31, 2013.

We currently market the AxiaLIF® family of products for single and two level lower lumbar fusion, the VEO® lateral access and interbody fusion system, iO-Flex, a proprietary set of flexible instruments used by surgeons during spinal decompression procedures, iO-Tome instrument, which rapidly and precisely removes bone, specifically the facet joints, which is commonly performed in spinal fusion procedures and Avance™, an MIS pedicle screw system used in lumbar spinal fusion procedures. We also market other products that complement these primary offerings, including our Vectre™ facet screw system, Bi-Ostetic™ bone void filler, bowel retractors, discectomy tools, and a bone graft harvesting system that can be used to extract bone graft from the patient’s hip for use in fusion procedures. We currently sell our products through a direct sales force, independent sales agents and distributors. 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Basis of Presentation

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC on March 10, 2014 (“2013 Form 10-K”). The Company’s historical results are not necessarily indicative of future operating results, and the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or for any other period.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our annual audited consolidated financial statements and contain all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of Company’s management necessary to present fairly our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The principal estimates relate to accounts receivable reserves, inventory valuation, valuation of stock-based compensation, accrued expenses, deferred tax asset valuation reserves, and the valuation of embedded derivatives and warrants for common stock. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The condensed consolidated balance sheet that we have presented as of December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements on that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

Our financial statements are prepared on the basis that our business will continue as a going concern in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. However, our independent registered public accounting firm has indicated in its audit report on our fiscal 2013 financial statements, included in our 2013 Form 10-K, that our recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

6

At June 30, 2014, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 million and accounts receivable, net of $3.8 million. Our ability to fund our cash and future liquidity requirements is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital, increase revenues, maintain our relationships with certain vendors, successfully avoid an event of default under our debt agreements, maintain tight controls over spending and attain our other business objectives on a timely basis. To meet our capital needs, we are actively pursuing multiple alternatives to raise additional funds, including additional debt or equity financings and other sources of funding. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital from cash flows from operations and the infusion of additional capital to fund our operations in the near term, we will need to implement further expense reduction measures, including workforce reductions, the consolidation of operations and/or the delay or cancellation of certain operational programs, pursue a plan to license or sell our assets, or to cease operations. Please refer to “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of our cash requirements and efforts to obtain additional capital.

Significant Accounting Policies

A detailed description of our significant accounting policies is presented in the footnotes to our annual audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Form 10-K. Our significant accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions have not changed materially since December 31, 2013, except for those related to our 2014 convertible notes. Additional information regarding the convertible notes can be found in Note 5, “Credit Facility, Convertible Notes and Common Stock Warrants.”

Inventory

The following table presents the components of inventory (in thousands):

	June 30,		December 31,
	2014		2013
Finished goods	$	4,887	$	4,607
Raw materials		1,600		1,584
Work-in-process		694		846
Total inventories, net	$	7,181	$	7,037

Segment and Geographic Reporting

We apply the relevant guidance which establishes standards for the reporting by business enterprises of information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. We have determined that we did not have any separately reportable segments. All our products provide surgical treatment for the lumbar region of the spine. Long-lived assets are primarily located in the United States. 

The following table summarizes revenue by geographic area (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
United States	$	4,482	$	3,687	$	8,745	$	6,281

Asia		23		14		79		37
	$	4,656	$	3,877	$	9,068	$	6,977

Net Loss per Common Share

We calculate basic earnings per share based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We calculate diluted earnings per share based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common share equivalents calculated using the treasury stock method. Our potential dilutive common shares, which consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, restricted stock units, warrants and conversion of notes, have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share for all periods as the result would be anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the potential shares of common stock that are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the result would be anti-dilutive as of the end of each period presented:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Weighted average stock options and restricted stock units outstanding		6,089,502		4,093,296		5,773,266		3,702,905
Common stock warrants related to credit facility		882,353		-		882,353		-
Common stock warrants related to convertible notes		7,252,308		-		3,646,188		-

 Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). The FASB issued ASU 2014-09 to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes the most current revenue recognition guidance. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Merger

On May 31, 2013, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Merger Sub, consummated our acquisition of Baxano (the “Merger”) pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Additional information regarding the Merger can be found in Note 3, “Merger and Financing Transaction,” of the footnotes to our annual audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Form 10-K.

The results of operations of Baxano have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. The following pro forma results of operations assume the acquisition of Baxano occurred on January 1, 2013. The pro forma results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 presented below reflect our historical data and the historical data of the Baxano business adjusted for amortization of intangibles, interest costs associated with Baxano preferred stock and convertible debt, and elimination of intercompany general and administrative expenses. The pro forma results of operations presented below may not be indicative of the results we would have achieved had we completed the acquisition on January 1, 2013, or that we may achieve in the future.

The following table presents the pro forma results (in thousands, except per share data):

	June 30, 2013
	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
Revenue	$	5,650		$	11,702
Operating loss	$	(12,099	)	$	(23,514	)
Net loss	$	(12,230	)	$	(23,730	)
Net loss per common share	$	(0.27	)	$	(0.53	)

4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The goodwill and intangible assets amounts as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were recorded as part of the purchase price allocation for the Merger. The carrying amount of goodwill as of December 31, 2013 was $8.5 million and unchanged during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Intangible assets as of June 30, 2014 consisted of the following (in thousands):

				Amortization
				Period (Years)
Trademark	$	830		Indefinite
Product trademarks		1,530		15-17
Technology		13,001		15-17
Customer relationships		475		10
		15,836
Less: accumulated amortization		(1,071	)
	$	14,765

Goodwill and trademarks are tested annually for impairment and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our outstanding common stock below our net equity carrying amount. All other intangible assets are assessed for reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Should our stock price continue to decline, or other impairment indicators occur, we may have to perform an impairment assessment of our intangible assets at an interim date and prior to our required assessment at year-end for goodwill and trademark.

5. Credit Facility, Convertible Notes and Common Stock Warrants

Credit Facility with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc.

On December 3, 2013 (the “Credit Facility Closing Date”), we obtained a credit facility of up to $15.0 million (the “Credit Facility”) from Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Hercules”). The Credit Facility is governed by a loan and security agreement, dated December 3, 2013 (the “Loan Agreement”), which provides for up to three separate advances, with the first advance of $7.5 million available at closing. The availability of the second advance of $2.5 million was dependent upon our achieving $6.0 million in gross commercial revenue for the fourth quarter of our 2013 fiscal year. The availability of the third advance of $5.0 million was dependent upon our achieving $7.0 million in gross commercial revenue for the first quarter of our 2014 fiscal year and net proceeds of at least $15.0 million from sales of our equity securities on or before June 15, 2014. We did not achieve the requirements to draw the second or third advances.

8

The following table presents the components of the Credit Facility (in thousands):

	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Advance	$	7,500		$	7,500
Final payment		263			263
Debt discounts, including common stock warrant		(780	)		(932	)
Total long-term debt		6,983			6,831
Less: Current portion of long-term debt		(1,940	)		(563	)
Total long-term debt, net of current portion	$	5,043		$	6,268

The Credit Facility has a term of 39 months and accrues interest at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 7.75% (with the prime rate subject to a floor of 4.75%), calculated on an actual/360 basis and payable monthly in arrears. Amounts outstanding during an event of default accrue interest at a rate of 3% in excess of the above rate, and past due amounts are subject to a 5% late charge. Outstanding principal will amortize in the 30-month period preceding maturity, payable in equal installments of principal and interest (subject to recalculation upon a change in prime rates). Any advance may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, subject to a prepayment fee of 1-2% if prepaid more than one year after closing. In addition, a fee equal to 3.50% of all advances made under the Credit Facility will be payable upon the final principal payment or prepayment in full of the advances. The Credit Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets.

The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants and representations, including a financial reporting covenant and limitations on cash dividends, distributions, debt, contingent obligations, liens, loans, investments, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, subsidiaries, and changes in control. We are not allowed to declare or pay any cash dividends or make cash distributions on any class of stock or other equity interest, except that our subsidiary may pay dividends or make distributions up to Baxano Surgical. There are no financial covenants. Prior to the maturity of the Credit Facility, Hercules will also have the right to participate on the same terms as other participants in certain types of our broadly marketed equity financings.

The events of default under the Loan Agreement include, without limitation, (1) a material adverse change in our ability to perform our obligations under the Loan Agreement, or in the value of our collateral, and (2) an event of default under any other of our indebtedness in excess of $150,000. If an event of default occurs, Hercules is entitled to take enforcement action, including acceleration of amounts due under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement also contains other customary provisions, such as expense reimbursement and confidentiality. Hercules has indemnification rights and the right to assign the Credit Facility.

The estimated fair value of the debt (categorized as a Level 2 liability for fair value measurement purposes) is determined using current market factors and our ability to obtain debt at comparable terms to those that are currently in place. We believe the estimated fair value at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 approximates the carrying amount.

In connection with the Credit Facility, we issued to Hercules a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock (the “Warrant”). The Warrant consists of two tranches, the first tranche issued at closing and the second tranche to be issued if and when Hercules makes a second advance under the Loan Agreement. The first tranche is exercisable for a number of shares of our common stock equal to $900,000 divided by the exercise price. The second tranche is exercisable for a number of shares of our common stock equal to $300,000 divided by the exercise price. We did not achieve the requirements to draw the second or third advances under the Loan Agreement and, therefore, the second tranche of the Warrant has not been issued. The exercise price is $1.02 per share initially, but is subject to downward adjustment upon our consummation of a financing at a lower effective price per share during the one-year period following the Credit Facility Closing Date. The aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise is limited to 1,176,471. The Warrant is exercisable by Hercules in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to the fifth anniversary of the Credit Facility Closing Date. The Warrant will be exercised automatically on a net issuance basis if not exercised prior to the expiration date.

The Warrant is considered a mark-to-market liability which is re-measured to fair value at each reporting period due to a provision whereby the exercise price of the Warrant could be decreased if we had a subsequent issue of equity instruments at a price less than $1.02 per share. We will be required to mark-to-market the fair value of the warrant liability each reporting period over the warrants term. At December 3, 2013, we recorded as a liability the initial Warrant tranche for 882,353 shares of our common stock at an estimated fair value of approximately $0.7 million with an offset to debt discount. The debt discount associated with the initial value of the Warrant is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Credit Facility.

Convertible Notes

On March 11, 2014, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) whereby we agreed to sell approximately $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of subordinated convertible debentures (the “Convertible Notes”), together with warrants (the “Convertible Warrants”) to purchase 9,428,000 shares of our Common Stock in a private placement transaction (the “Private Placement Transaction”). The closing of the full amount of securities in the Private Placement Transaction was subject to stockholder approval, which was attained at our 2014 annual meeting of stockholders on April 17, 2014. The Private Placement closed on April 22, 2014 (the “Private Placement Closing Date”).

Convertible notes as of June 30, 2014 consisted of the following (in thousands):

The three-year Convertible Notes will be convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $1.06 per share, for an aggregate of approximately 9,428,000 shares of Common Stock. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum, payable monthly in cash or, at our discretion provided certain conditions (“Equity Conditions”) are met each payment period, in shares of Common Stock at a price equal to 90% of a calculated market price per share. In connection with the purchase of the Convertible Notes, the selling stockholders received five-year Convertible Warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 9,428,000 shares of Common Stock, which were exercisable immediately upon issuance at an exercise price of $1.19 per share.

The Convertible Notes are subordinated to the Credit Facility and pursuant to a subordination agreement with Hercules (the “Subordination Agreement”), cash payments by us to the Purchasers under the transaction documents related to the Private Placement Transaction are subject to a $1.5 million cap for so long as the Credit Facility remains outstanding (with any amounts in excess of that cap to be held in abeyance for the Purchasers until the Credit Facility is no longer outstanding). In connection with obtaining Hercules’ consent for the Private Placement Transaction, we paid Hercules a one-time non-refundable cash facility fee in the amount of $300,000. The Convertible Notes also contain certain cross default provisions with respect to the Credit Facility. The Convertible Notes contain no financial covenants. The Convertible Notes contain customary debt instrument covenants. Upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default,” the interest rate on the Convertible Notes increases to 15% and we can be required to redeem the Convertible Notes in whole or in part in cash at 110% of the outstanding balance.

For one year after the date of issuance, the conversion price of the Convertible Notes and the exercise price of the Convertible Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the issuance of any Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock below the then-existing conversion or exercise price, as applicable, subject to certain exceptions. In the event of certain change in control transactions, the holders of the Convertible Notes and Convertible Warrants will be entitled to (i) receive upon conversion or exercise the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property which the holders would have received had they converted or exercised their Convertible Notes or Convertible Warrants, as applicable, immediately prior to such transaction; and (ii) have their securities assumed by the surviving entity. In addition, if such a transaction involves cash consideration, is a going private transaction, or involves securities not listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ, the holders of the Convertible Warrants will be entitled to have their Convertible Warrants repurchased at a calculated Black-Scholes value of such Convertible Warrants at any time within 60 days after the transaction. Subject to limited exceptions, the Company will not permit the conversion of the Convertible Notes or exercise of the Convertible Warrants of any Purchaser, if after such conversion or exercise such Purchaser would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock subject to adjustment of 9.99% with 60 days’ notice by the Purchasers.

We accounted for the Convertible Notes as an instrument that has the characteristics of a debt host contract containing several embedded derivative features that would require bifurcation and separate accounting as a derivative instrument pursuant to the provisions of ASC 815. We elected not to use the fair value option to account for the Convertible Notes and embedded derivatives as one hybrid instrument. We accounted for the derivative and warrants as liabilities due to certain adjustment provisions, which requires that they be recorded at fair value. The derivative and warrant liabilities are subject to revaluation at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value will be recorded as a change in fair value in non-operating items until the earlier of expiration or its exercise at which time the liabilities will be reclassified to equity. The debt discount associated with the initial value of the derivatives and warrants will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes.

The estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes (categorized as a Level 2 liability for fair value measurement purposes) is determined using current market factors and our ability to obtain debt at comparable terms to those that are currently in place. We believe the estimated fair value at June 30, 2014 approximates the carrying amount. The valuation assumptions are based on a the Convertible Debenture face amount of $10.0 million, cash coupon rate of 6%, time to maturity of 2.8 years, and a yield bond rate of 30%.

Warrants and Derivative Liabilities

Our derivative liability and common stock warrant liabilities are considered Level 3 instruments under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of our financial instruments (in thousands):

10

	Derivative Liability Associated with Convertible Notes			Common Stock Warrant Liability Associated with Convertible Notes			Common Stock Warrant Liability Associated with Credit Facility
Fair value as of December 31, 2013	$	—		$	—		$	528
Fair value of financial instruments issued		1,980			2,734			—
Change in fair value		(1,042	)		(1,280	)		(302	)
Fair value as of June 30, 2014	$	938		$	1,454		$	226

We valued the warrant liability associated with the Credit Facility using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Following is a summary of the key assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the Credit Facility Warrant:

							Issuance
	June 30,			December 31,			December 3,
	2014			2013			2013
Stock Price	$	0.57		$	1.01		$	1.18

Expected volatility		73.9	%		73.6	%		74.2	%
Term  (years)		4.4			4.9			5.0

We used a Monte Carlo simulation analysis to value the warrant liability associated with the Convertible Notes by modeling scenarios associated with the possible “strike price” reset provision. For the embedded derivative related to the conversion feature, as there is a conversion price reset feature, we recognized that the possible values for the Convertible Notes were path-dependent, and thus also chose to use a Monte Carlo simulation analysis to value this derivative.

Following is a summary of the key assumptions used to value the warrant liability associated with the Convertible Warrants:

6.  Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of our business. These claims potentially cover a variety of allegations spanning our entire business. Information regarding the material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our property is subject and other material legal proceedings may be found in Part I, Item 3 of our 2013 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to such proceedings.

7. Stockholders’ Equity

Our Certificate of Incorporation, which was adopted in connection with our initial public offering, authorized up to 80,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 75,000,000 shares were designated as common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) and 5,000,000 shares were designated as preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. On April 17, 2014 the Certificate of Incorporation was amended to authorize up to 155,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 150,000,000 shares were designated Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares were designated as preferred stock. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 48,659,826 and 46,156,921 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, respectively, and there were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

On June 3, 2014, we received a notification letter from The NASDAQ OMX Group (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the bid price of our Common Stock for the last 30 consecutive business days had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The notification letter has no effect on the listing of Common Stock at this time, which will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “BAXS”. We have been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until December 1, 2014, to regain compliance. The letter states that the NASDAQ staff will provide written notification that we have regained compliance if at any time before December 1, 2014, the bid price of Common Stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. In the event we do not regain compliance within the 180-day grace period, we may be eligible for additional time if we meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and provide written notice to NASDAQ of our intent to cure the deficiency by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If we are able to meet these requirements, the NASDAQ staff will inform us that we have been granted an additional 180 calendar days. If we fail to regain compliance after the second 180-day grace period, our Common Stock may be subject to delisting by NASDAQ. We intend to actively monitor the bid price for Common Stock and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the NASDAQ minimum bid price requirement.

Stock Purchase Agreement

On December 3, 2013, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), pursuant to which we have the right to sell to Lincoln Park up to $7.0 million in shares of Common Stock, subject to certain limitations. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we have the right, on any business day and as often as every other business day over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement, at our sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, to direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock, which amount may be increased, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price of shares of Common Stock related to the future funding will be based upon the prevailing market prices of the Common Stock at the time of sales, and shares will be sold to Lincoln Park on any date that the closing price of the Common Stock is above the floor price as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. In addition, we may direct Lincoln Park to purchase additional amounts as accelerated purchases if, on the date of a regular purchase, the closing sale price of the Common Stock is not below a threshold price as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

As consideration for its commitment to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we issued to Lincoln Park 182,609 shares of Common Stock immediately upon entering the Purchase Agreement and will issue up to 60,870 shares pro rata as and when Lincoln Park purchases Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of these commitment shares. As of June 30, 2014, 210,433 commitment shares were issued to Lincoln Park. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we sold 0.7 million and 2.4 million shares, respectively, of Common Stock to Lincoln Park for an aggregate purchase price of $0.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively

Stock Purchase Agreement Modification

Effective July 11, 2014, we modified our Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park to, among other things, (i) increase the number of shares of Common Stock that we have the right to sell to Lincoln Park from 100,000 shares to 125,000 shares as often as every business day, which amount may be further increased in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, (ii) increase the aggregate amount of Common Stock that we have the right, subject to certain limitations, to direct Lincoln Park to purchase over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement from $7.0 million to $8.2 million, and (iii) decrease the floor closing price that the Common Stock must trade above in order for sales to be made to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement from $1.00 to $0.50 per share. Following the modification, the number of shares potentially issuable by us on a pro rata basis as and when Lincoln Park purchases Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement increased to 657,895 shares.

12

Warrant Agreement

In connection with the Credit Facility, we issued to Hercules the Warrant. The aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise is limited to 1,176,471. The Warrant is exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the Credit Facility Closing Date and will be exercised automatically on a net issuance basis if not exercised prior to the expiration date. See further details under “Common Stock Warrant Liability for Hercules” in Note 5.

8. Stock Incentive Plans and Stock-Based Compensation

We have an employee stock purchase plan and other long-term incentive plans, which provide for the grant of awards in the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs), to eligible employees, directors, and consultants. We established the Baxano Surgical, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2007 Plan”) in October 2007. Under the 2007 Plan, we may grant options to employees, directors or service providers and contractors for a maximum of 7,600,000 shares of Common Stock. Share-based compensation expense was $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Stock Option Program

The following table is a summary of stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2014:

	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Vested and expected to vest as of June 30, 2014		4,188,471		$	2.77		7.69	$	3,855

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the $0.57 closing price of Common Stock as reported by The NASDAQ Global Market on June 30, 2014 and the weighted average exercise price, multiplied by the number of options outstanding or exercisable. We do not record the aggregate intrinsic value for financial accounting purposes and the value changes based upon changes in the fair value of Common Stock.

The following weighted-average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014:

Risk-free interest rate	1.9	%
Expected term	6.0
Expected volatility	63.4	%
Expected dividend yield	0	%

Restricted Stock Unit Retention Program

On January 2, 2014, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the terms of the 2014 Restricted Stock Unit Retention Program (the “RSU Program”) and the grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to all our executives and management pursuant to the RSU Program and our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended. Each award amount equals a number of stock-settled RSUs reflecting one times the employee’s current salary at a target value of $3.00 per share of Common Stock. A portion of the RSU awards is subject to time-based vesting and a portion of the RSU awards is subject to performance-based vesting as outlined below:

· 75% is time-based (25% vests on first anniversary of grant date, 37.5% vests on second and third anniversaries of grant date);

· 25% is performance-based (100% vests upon the achievement of a 30% increase in Company revenue year-over-year for two successive quarters by the end of fiscal 2016).

The following table is a summary of restricted stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2014:

Outstanding as of December 31, 2013	-
Granted	3,055,997
Forfeited	(865,778	)
Outstanding as of June 30, 2014	2,190,219

11. Subsequent Event

In connection with the expiration of the lease on our San Jose facility in early December 2014 and after careful consideration of all of our options, we commenced a plan in July 2014 that is designed to improve our operational performance for the future. The plan calls for us to close the San Jose facility and outsource the manufacturing of the iO-Flex, iO-Tome sterile assemblies and AxiaLIF Blade Subassembly conducted at the facility. We expect the product transfer to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014. There were no costs associated with this plan that were required to be recognized in the consolidated condensed financial statement for the period ended June 30, 2014.

Business Overview

Baxano Surgical, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) is a medical device company focused on designing, developing and marketing minimally invasive products to treat degenerative conditions of the spine affecting the lumbar region. We are passionately committed to delivering innovative technologies to our surgeon customers that benefit their patients. On May 31, 2013, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Racer X Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), consummated our acquisition of Baxano, Inc. (“Baxano”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Baxano, with Baxano remaining as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Immediately following the closing of the Merger on May 31, 2013, we changed our name to Baxano Surgical, Inc. in connection with the merger of this wholly-owned subsidiary with and into the Company. Our condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect the Baxano results, including the iO-Flex® and iO-Tome® products, from the Merger date, May 31, 2013.

We currently market the AxiaLIF® family of products for single and two level lower lumbar fusion, the VEO® lateral access and interbody fusion system, iO-Flex, a proprietary set of flexible instruments used by surgeons during spinal decompression procedures, iO-Tome instrument, which rapidly and precisely removes bone, specifically the facet joints, which is commonly performed in spinal fusion procedures and Avance™, an MIS pedicle screw system used in lumbar spinal fusion procedures. We currently sell our products through a direct sales force, independent sales agents and distributors.

Our family of AxiaLIF products, commercially launched between 2004 and 2010, use the pre-sacral approach. This technique allows a surgeon to access the discs in the lower lumbar region through an incision adjacent to the tailbone. In this manner, an interbody fusion procedure can be accomplished through a single tissue plane, which minimizes damage to surrounding tissues. Traditional methods of accessing the lower lumbar spine for fusion either involve cutting ligament and bone if approaching from the back, or navigating around important organs and blood vessels if approaching from the front. Our VEO lateral access and interbody fusion system, commercially launched in 2011, provides for direct visualization of the psoas muscle and unrestricted lateral fluoroscopic views, which we believe has allowed us to increase our market share in the highly competitive lateral fusion segment. We believe that direct visualization allows a surgeon to identify and avoid the nerves running through this muscle that, when damaged, can cause numbness and pain in the leg and groin post spinal surgery. Our iO-Flex instruments, commercially launched in 2009, were developed to allow surgeons to perform a direct decompression while sparing the facet joints and posterior midline structures. Our iO-Flex minimally invasive set of flexible instruments allow surgeons to target lumbar stenosis of the spine with minimal disruption to the patient’s healthy anatomy critical for maintaining spinal stability. With traditional rigid instrumentation, surgeons have to remove bone that helps stabilize the spine in order to get to the area of the bone that is impinging on the exiting nerve roots. Our iO-Tome disposable instrument, commercially launched in the fourth quarter of 2013, allows surgeons to perform rapid facetectomies while working above the exiting nerves. The iO-Tome instrument utilizes the iO-Flex instrument platform to rapidly and precisely remove the facet joint, which is commonly performed in spinal fusion applications.

We also market other products that complement these primary offerings, including our Vectre™ facet screw system, Bi-Ostetic™ bone void filler, bowel retractors, discectomy tools, and a bone graft harvesting system that can be used to extract bone graft from the patient’s hip for use in fusion procedures. We also have a TLIF system under development, with a limited market launch expected in the fourth quarter of 2014. The new TLIF system will be used in conjunction with the iO-Tome instrument to provide a less invasive means of performing a TLIF procedure. Our philosophy of continuous improvement is driven by ongoing research and development investment in our core technologies. We support this investment by diligently expanding, maintaining, and protecting our significant patent portfolio.

Since inception, we have been unprofitable. As of June 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $185.9 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, our revenues were $4.7 million and our net loss was $5.9 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, our revenues were $9.1 million and our net loss was $15.0 million. We expect to continue to invest in sales and marketing infrastructure for our products in order to gain wider acceptance for them. We also expect to continue to invest in research and development and related clinical trials, and increase general and administrative expenses as we grow. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenue in order to achieve profitability.

At June 30, 2014, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 million and accounts receivable, net of $3.8 million. Our independent registered public accounting firm has indicated in its audit report on our fiscal 2013 financial statements, included in our 2013 Form 10-K, that our recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to fund our cash and future liquidity requirements will be dependent on our ability to raise additional capital, increase revenues, maintain our relationships with certain vendors, successfully avoid an event of default under our debt agreements, maintain tight controls over spending and attain our other business objectives on a timely basis. To meet our capital needs, we are actively pursuing multiple alternatives to raise additional funds, including additional debt or equity financings and other sources of funding. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital from cash flows from operations and the infusion of additional capital to fund our operations in the near term, we will need to implement further expense reduction measures, including workforce reductions, the consolidation of operations and/or the delay or cancellation of certain operational programs, pursue a plan to license or sell our assets, or to cease operations. Please refer to “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for a discussion of our cash requirements and efforts to obtain additional capital.

2014 Updates

Avance ^™ MIS Pedicle Screw System

On April 10, 2014, we announced that we had received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance (k133743) of our Avance™ MIS Pedicle Screw System, which may be used as an adjunct to fusion in numerous degenerative and complex spinal pathologies. The design of Avance provides a quick and easy-to-use, percutaneous pedicle screw system that addresses single, complex and multi-level spinal pathologies with minimal tissue disruption and trauma. The Avance system will be in limited market release in the second and third quarter of 2014 and is planned for full launch in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The principal estimates relate to accounts receivable reserves, inventory valuation, valuation of stock-based compensation, accrued expenses, deferred tax asset valuation reserves, and the valuation of embedded derivatives and warrants for common stock. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to the “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section of the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section contained in our 2013 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in any of our accounting policies since December 31, 2013. We periodically review our critical accounting policies and estimates with the audit committee of our Board of Directors.

Goodwill and other intangible assets are tested annually for impairment and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our outstanding common stock below our net equity carrying amount. Should our stock price continue to decline whereby the fair value of our common stock is below our book value of equity, we may have to consider an impairment charge related to the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets during a future quarter.

Primary Revenue and Expense Components

 The following is a description of the primary components of our revenue and expenses:

· Revenue. Our revenue reflects product revenue primarily consisting of our AxiaLIF and VEO fusion systems as well as our iO-Flex and iO-Tome instruments utilized in lumbar spinal surgeries. The product revenue may also include revenue for other disposable surgical products also used in those surgeries including bone void filler and bone graft harvester.

· Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue consists primarily of material, direct labor and overhead costs related to our products, including reusable kit depreciation, product royalties and medical device taxes. Overhead costs primarily include facilities-related costs, such as rent and utilities, and indirect labor costs.

Total revenue	$	4,656	$	3,877	$	779			20.1	%

Revenue. The $0.8 million increase in revenue from 2013 to 2014 was due to the addition of the iO-Flex family of products to our portfolio as of May 31, 2013, offset by lower revenues primarily from our AxiaLIF product. In March 2012, the Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT”) Editorial Panel (the “Panel”), voted to approve an application for a new Category I CPT code, 22586. This CPT code, which applies to our AxiaLIF 1-Level devices (Legacy and Plus), is a bundled lumbar arthrodesis procedure that includes bone graft and posterior instrumentation. The Medicare final rule was released in November 2012, which stated a value for the Category I CPT code 22586 and became effective January 1, 2013. Starting January 1, 2013, surgeons tried the Category I CPT code for AxiaLIF Plus 1-Level with private payors; however, coverage with certain private payors was denied sometimes after the case. The AxiaLIF Plus 1-Level reimbursement challenges and lower than expected utilization of our AxiaLIF Plus 2-Level are the primary factors in the $0.7 million decrease in AxiaLIF sales. The decrease in VEO revenue of $0.2 million from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to change in the size of the salesforce as we implemented the hybrid sales model during the second quarter of 2014 and have decreased the direct sales force and are in the process of identifying distributors who will carry our full line of products. The decrease in Other product revenue of $0.1 million from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to decreased fusion volume. Many of the products in the Other category are add on products to fusion cases and their usage directly correlates with the amount of fusion cases performed done. The decrease in international revenue primarily stems from a drop of stocking orders.

18

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit. Cost of revenue increased to $1.4 million in 2014 from $1.3 million in 2013. Gross margins increased to 69.6% in 2014 from 66.6% in 2013. The increase in gross margin from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to operational efficiencies.

Research and Development. The $1.0 million increase in research and development expenses from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to an increase of $0.3 million in personnel-related costs as we increased head count in support of a larger product portfolio and $0.7 million increase in prototypes for the second and third quarter limited market release of Avance.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses from 2013 to 2014 in total remained consistent. From 2013 to 2014 there was an increase of $0.2 million in personnel-related costs as we integrated our sales force and expanded our sales territory, an increase of $0.2 million in distributor commissions, stemming from an expanded distributor network and an increase of $0.1 million in travel and meeting expenses. These increases were primarily offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in outside services and a decrease of approximately $0.2 million in training materials, which were rebranded as a result of the 2013 Merger.

General and Administrative. The increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.7 million from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to a $0.2 million increase in legal, audit and other professional services and an increase of $0.4 million in amortization expenses of the intangible assets acquired in the Merger.

Merger and Integration Expenses. The $1.6 million incurred during 2013 related to the Merger with Baxano.

U.S. Government Settlement Charges. The $0.1 million incurred during 2013 related to legal fees for the U.S. Department of Justice investigation.

Non-Operating Items. Non-operating items expense decreased from 2013 to 2014 driven by a $2.7 million fair value adjustment gain related to derivative and common stock warrant liabilities, offset by a $0.7 million increase in interest expense for the U.S. Government settlement, the Credit Facility and convertible notes, which includes amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts.

Total revenue	$	9,068	$	6,977	$	2,091			30.0	%

Revenue. The $2.1 million increase in revenue from 2013 to 2014 was due to the addition of the iO-Flex family of products to our portfolio as of May 31, 2013, offset by lower revenues primarily from our AxiaLIF product. The AxiaLIF Plus 1-Level reimbursement challenges discussed above and lower utilization of our AxiaLIF Plus 2-Level are the primary factors in the $1.5 million decrease in AxiaLIF sales. The decrease in VEO revenue of $0.2 million from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to change in the size of the salesforce in 2014 as we implemented the hybrid sales model by decreasing the direct sales force and are in the process of identifying distributors who will carry our full line of products. The decrease in Other product revenue of $0.1 million from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to decreased fusion volume. The decrease in international revenue primarily stems from fewer stocking orders in 2014.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit. Cost of revenue increased to $2.7 million in 2014 from $2.3 million in 2013. Gross margins increased to 70.4% in 2014 from 66.6% in 2013. The increase in gross margin from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to operational efficiencies.

Research and Development. The $1.7 million increase in research and development expenses from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to an increase of $0.7 million in personnel-related costs as we increased head count in support of a larger product portfolio, $0.2 million increase in compliance expenses to support the implementation and monitoring of the Corporate Integrity Agreement with the Office of Inspector General and $0.8 million increase in prototypes for the second and third quarter limited market release of Avance.

Sales and Marketing. The $2.3 million increase in sales and marketing expenses from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to an increase of $1.8 million in personnel-related costs as we integrated our sales force and expanded our sales territory, an increase of $0.7 million in distributor commissions, stemming from an expanded distributor network, and an increase of $0.3 million in travel and meeting expenses primarily offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in outside services.

General and Administrative. The increase in general and administrative expenses of $1.7 million from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in legal, audit and other professional services; $0.1 million increase in depreciation expense and an increase of $0.7 million in amortization expenses of the intangible assets acquired in the Merger.

Merger and Integration Expenses. There was a decrease in merger and integration expenses from 2013 to 2014 of $2.9 million related to the Merger with Baxano.

U.S. Government Settlement Charges. The $0.2 million incurred during 2013 related to legal fees for the U.S. Department of Justice investigation.

Non-Operating Items. Non-operating items expense decreased from 2013 to 2014 driven by a $2.6 million fair value adjustment gain related to derivative and common stock warrant liabilities, offset by a $1.1 million increase in interest expense for the U.S. Government settlement, the Credit Facility and convertible notes, which includes amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows Analysis

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $16.9 million and $15.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For both periods the amounts are attributable primarily to the net loss after adjustment for non-cash items, such as depreciation, stock-based compensation, debt discount amortization and revaluation of derivative and common stock warrant liabilities, plus the net change in operating assets and liabilities.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $0.5 million and $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The 2014 amount reflects purchases of property and equipment, primarily for reusable instrument kits. The 2013 amount reflected the net cash paid, net of cash acquired, of $2.7 million for the Merger and purchases of property and equipment of $0.6 million, primarily for reusable instrument kits used in the field and up-fitting our new headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $11.1 million, which represented approximately $10.0 million in principal for the sale of convertible debentures, offset by related fees of $1.4 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 we sold 2.4 million shares of Common Stock for proceeds of approximately $2.5 million under the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park. Net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $17.1 million, which represented the net proceeds from the sale of common stock for the Merger, purchases of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan and from the issuance of shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.

Access to Capital and Cash Requirements

In May 2011, we filed a “universal shelf” Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-174255), or the Shelf Registration Statement, with the SEC, which became effective on August 1, 2011 and which we used for our September 2011 stock offering and 2013 and 2014 equity financing with Lincoln Park Pursuant to Rule 415(a)(5) under the Securities Act, the Shelf Registration Statement was scheduled to expire on August 1, 2014. On July 31, 2014, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the SEC in accordance with Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act solely for the purpose of continuing to provide us with the ability to sell from time to time the remaining initial offering price of unsold securities registered under the Shelf Registration Statement. The timing and terms of any additional financing transactions pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, or otherwise, have not yet been determined. Any additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

On April 17, 2014, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 75,000,000 to 150,000,000. The amendment became effective on April 17, 2014 upon filing with the Delaware Secretary of State.

On June 3, 2014, we received a notification letter from The NASDAQ OMX Group (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the bid price of our Common Stock for the last 30 consecutive business days had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The notification letter has no effect on the listing of Common Stock at this time, which will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “BAXS”. We have been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until December 1, 2014, to regain compliance. The letter states that the NASDAQ staff will provide written notification that we have regained compliance if at any time before December 1, 2014, the bid price of Common Stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. In the event we do not regain compliance within the 180-day grace period, we may be eligible for additional time if we meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and provide written notice to NASDAQ of our intent to cure the deficiency by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If we are able to meet these requirements, the NASDAQ staff will inform us that we have been granted an additional 180 calendar days. If we fail to regain compliance after the second 180-day grace period, our Common Stock may be subject to delisting by NASDAQ. We intend to actively monitor the bid price for Common Stock and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the NASDAQ minimum bid price requirement.

At June 30, 2014, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 million and accounts receivable, net of $3.8 million. As of June 30, 2014, our liabilities included the Credit Facility advance of $7.5 million and a payable of $3.5 million related to our settlement agreement with the U.S. Government, payable over five remaining quarters. On July 1, 2014, we agreed with the U.S. Government to defer the scheduled payment of $0.7 million and are working with them to establish revised quarterly payments to conclude over the original term ending July 1, 2015.

21

The Credit Facility terms provided for up to two additional advances totaling $7.5 million. The availability of the second advance of $2.5 million was dependent upon our achieving $6.0 million in gross commercial revenue for the fourth quarter of our 2013 fiscal year. The availability of the third advance of $5.0 million was dependent upon our achieving $7.0 million in gross commercial revenue for the first quarter of our 2014 fiscal year and net proceeds of at least $15.0 million from sales of our equity securities on or before June 15, 2014. We did not achieve the requirements to draw the second or third advances.

As of June 30, 2014, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park we had sold 3.1 million shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park for approximately $3.2 million, leaving approximately $3.8 million for future issuance of stock. Effective July 11, 2014, we modified the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park to, among other things, (i) increase the number of shares of Common Stock that we have the right to sell to Lincoln Park from 100,000 shares to 125,000 shares as often as every business day, which amount may be further increased in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, (ii) increase the aggregate amount of Common Stock that we have the right, subject to certain limitations, to direct Lincoln Park to purchase over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement from $7.0 million to $8.2 million, and (iii) decrease the floor closing price that the Common Stock must trade above in order for sales to be made to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement from $1.00 to $0.50 per share. As of August 1, 2014, we had sold 3.9 million shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park for approximately $3.6 million, leaving approximately $4.6 million for future issuance of stock. Additional information regarding the Purchase Agreement can be found in Note 7, “Stockholders’ Equity,” included in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

On March 11, 2014, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) whereby we agreed to sell approximately $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of subordinated convertible debentures (the “Convertible Notes”), together with warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 9,428,000 shares of Common Stock in a private placement transaction (the “Private Placement Transaction”). The closing of the full amount of securities in the Private Placement Transaction was subject to stockholder approval, which was attained at our 2014 annual meeting of stockholders on April 17, 2014. The Private Placement closed on April 22, 2014 (the “Private Placement Closing Date”). Additional information regarding the Private Placement Transaction, the Convertible Notes and the Warrants can be found in Note 5, “Credit Facility, Convertible Notes and Common Stock Warrants,” included in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

In connection with the expiration of the lease on our San Jose facility in early December 2014 and after careful consideration of all of our options, we commenced a plan in July 2014 that is designed to improve our operational performance for the future. The plan calls for us to close the San Jose facility and outsource the manufacturing of the iO-Flex, iO-Tome sterile assemblies and AxiaLIF Blade Subassembly conducted at the facility. We expect the product transfer to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014. We expect to incur certain costs related to transfer of assets and severance costs which will primarily be recognized during the third and fourth quarters of 2014.

Our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, included in our 2013 Form 10-K, and our unaudited condensed financial statements were prepared on the basis that our business would continue as a going concern in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. However, our independent registered public accounting firm has indicated in its audit report on our fiscal 2013 financial statements that our recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

With the cash infusions generated from sales of our common stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park as discussed above, we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, together with cash received from sales of our products, will be sufficient to meet our cash needs through the third quarter of 2014. Our ability to sell common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement is contingent upon our shares trading at a price per share above the $0.50 floor price of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and, as a result, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to make additional sales under that Purchase Agreement in the future. On August 13, 2014, the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market was approximately $0.40 per share. If the price of our common stock continues to trade below $0.50 per share and we are unable to generate cash from additional sales of common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, we believe we will have sufficient cash to fund our operations until mid-September 2014. Our ability to fund our cash and future liquidity requirements will be dependent on our ability to raise additional capital, increase revenues, maintain our relationships with certain vendors, successfully avoid an event of default under our debt agreements, maintain tight controls over spending and attain our other business objectives on a timely basis.

To meet our capital needs, we are actively pursuing multiple alternatives to raise additional funds, including additional debt or equity financings and other sources of funding. We have received a proposal setting forth the primary terms of a senior secured term loan facility for up to $15.0 million. The proposal does not represent a binding commitment on the part of the lender, and any closing of the term loan facility will be subject to the terms and conditions delineated in the proposal, including completion of due diligence and preparation and negotiation of final documentation. Such due diligence review has not been completed and we can give no assurance that any term loan facility will close. There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any such transaction on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or otherwise. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital from cash flows from operations and the infusion of additional capital to fund our operations in the near term, we will need to implement further expense reduction measures, including workforce reductions, the consolidation of operations and/or the delay or cancellation of certain operational programs, pursue a plan to license or sell our assets, or to cease operations.

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information included in this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q, you are urged to carefully consider the risks described in Item 1A under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K”) and in Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 for a discussion of the various risks that may materially affect our business. There have been no material changes to the risks set forth in Item 1A of our 2013 Form 10-K, except as set forth in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and as set forth below. The risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition and could result in a complete loss of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Although our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, we must raise additional capital in near term to fund our operations in order to continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, has included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion that accompanies our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, indicating that our recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position we may not be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern and, therefore, be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities other than in the normal course of business which could cause investors to suffer the loss of all or a substantial portion of their investment. Our existing liquidity is not sufficient to fund operations, anticipated capital expenditures, working capital and other financing requirements. We must obtain additional financing in the form of debt or equity in order to continue operations.

With the cash infusions generated from sales of our common stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park as discussed above, we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, together with cash received from sales of our products, will be sufficient only to meet our cash needs through the third quarter of 2014. Further, our ability to sell common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement is contingent upon our shares trading at a price per share above the $0.50 floor price of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and, as a result, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to make additional sales under that Purchase Agreement in the future. On August 13, 2014, the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market was approximately $0.40 per share. If the price of our common stock continues to trade below $0.50 per share and we are unable to generate cash from additional sales of common stock under the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, we will have sufficient cash to fund our operations only until mid-September 2014. Our ability to fund our cash and future liquidity requirements will be dependent on our ability to raise additional capital, increase revenues, maintain our relationships with certain vendors, successfully avoid an event of default under our debt agreements, maintain tight controls over spending and attain our other business objectives on a timely basis. To meet our capital needs, we are actively pursuing multiple alternatives to raise additional funds, including additional debt or equity financings and other sources of funding. There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any such transaction on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or otherwise. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital from cash flows from operations and the infusion of additional capital to fund our operations in the near term, we will need to implement further expense reduction measures, including workforce reductions, the consolidation of operations and/or the delay or cancellation of certain operational programs, pursue a plan to license or sell our assets, or to cease operations.

The change in value of our derivative liabilities could have a material effect on our financial results.

Included on our balance sheet at June 30, 2014 are common stock warrants and derivative liabilities. At each reporting period, we are required to determine the fair value of such common stock warrants and derivatives and record the fair value adjustments as non-cash unrealized gains or losses. The share price of our common stock represents the primary underlying variable that impacts the value of the common stock warrants and derivative instruments. Due to the volatile nature of our share price, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses on our common stock warrants and derivative instruments each reporting period and that the amount of such gains or losses could be material.

Risks Relating to the Private Placement Transaction

Our stockholders are subject to significant dilution pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of our convertible notes and certain of outstanding warrants, which could result in a decrease in our stock price.

The issuance of the shares reserved for future issuance upon the exercise of our outstanding warrants and conversion of our convertible notes, as well as future sales of substantial amounts of such shares to the public, would have a significantly dilutive effect on our existing stockholders and could result in a decrease in our stock price. As of July 30, 2014, we had approximately 21,520,982 shares of our common stock reserved or designated for future issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants and conversion of outstanding convertible debt. Included in the shares of common stock designated for future issuance are 882,353 shares that are subject to warrant contracts issued in December 2013 related to our Credit Facility that are currently exercisable at $1.02 per share. The Convertible Notes issued in April 2014, will be convertible into shares of our Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $1.06 per share, for an aggregate of approximately 9,428,000 shares of our Common Stock. In connection with the purchase of the Convertible Notes, we also issued five-year Convertible Warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 9,428,000 shares of Common Stock, which were exercisable immediately upon issuance at an exercise price of $1.19 per share. Subject to certain conditions, we may also issue shares of common stock at a price equal to 90% of a calculated market price per share in lieu of cash interest payments on the Convertible Notes.

For one year after the date of issuance of these warrants and convertible notes, if we sell or issue (or are deemed to sell or issue) shares of our common stock or rights, warrants, options or other convertible securities for shares of our common stock at a price below the then current exercise price or conversion price per share for such securities, the applicable exercise and conversion prices of these securities is reset to the lowest price per share of the newly-issued securities. Any such adjustments to the exercise price of the warrants and convertible notes will have a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders and could result in a decrease in our stock price. Further, if the price of the convertible notes is adjusted, this would lead to the issuance of additional shares of our common stock upon conversion. If and when issued, these shares of common stock would further substantially dilute the ownership percentage and voting power of our current stockholders.

In addition, we filed a registration statement with the SEC to register the resale of all of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes and a portion of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Convertible Warrants The registration statement facilitates the resale of such shares of common stock into the public market, and any such resale would increase the number of shares of our common stock available for public trading. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could have the effect of depressing the market price for our common stock and make it more difficult for you to sell shares of our common stock at times and prices that you feel are appropriate or for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.

Risks Related to Our Business and Operations

We may not be able to comply with all applicable listing requirements or standards of the NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ could delist our common stock.

Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards. There can be no assurances that we will be able to comply with applicable listing standards. In the event that our common stock is not eligible for quotation on another market or exchange, trading of our common stock could be conducted in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board. In such event, it could become more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, our common stock, and there would likely also be a reduction in our coverage by security analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline further. Also, it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital if we are not listed on a major exchange.

On June 3, 2014, we received a notification letter from the NASDAQ indicating that the bid price of our Common Stock for the last 30 consecutive business days had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The notification letter has no effect on the listing of Common Stock at this time, which will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “BAXS”. We have been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until December 1, 2014, to regain compliance. The letter states that the NASDAQ staff will provide written notification that we have regained compliance if at any time before December 1, 2014, the bid price of Common Stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. In the event we do not regain compliance within the 180-day grace period, we may be eligible for additional time if we meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and provide written notice to NASDAQ of our intent to cure the deficiency by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If we are able to meet these requirements, the NASDAQ staff will inform us that we have been granted an additional 180 calendar days. If we fail to regain compliance after the second 180-day grace period, our Common Stock may be subject to delisting by NASDAQ. We intend to actively monitor the bid price for Common Stock and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the NASDAQ minimum bid price requirement.

On August 13, 2014, the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market was approximately $0.40 per share, which remains below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing. If we fail to continue to meet all applicable continued listing requirements for The NASDAQ Global Market in the future and NASDAQ determines to delist our Common Stock, the delisting could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock, our ability to obtain financing to repay debt and fund our operations.

We have a significant amount of goodwill and other intangible assets on our balance sheet. If our goodwill or other intangible assets become impaired, we may be required to record a significant charge to earnings and reduce our stockholders' equity.

As of June 30, 2014, approximately 55% of our total consolidated assets reflected on the consolidated balance sheet included in this report consist of goodwill or other intangible assets. Under generally accepted accounting principles, goodwill and intangible assets must generally be tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. We performed our annual impairment analysis during the fourth quarter of 2013 and determined that goodwill and intangible assets were not impaired. If our intangible assets are determined to be impaired in the future, we may be required to record significant, non-cash charges to earnings and a corresponding reduction in our net asset value in the period in which the impairment is determined. The assessment of whether goodwill is impaired is sensitive to our stock price. Should our stock price continue to decline whereby the fair value of our common stock is below our book value of equity, we may have to consider an impairment charge related to the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets during a future quarter.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On March 11, 2014, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement, providing for the issuance, in a private placement, of $9,993,680 in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes, together with the Warrants, to the Purchasers. The closing of the full amount of securities in the Private Placement Transaction was subject to stockholder approval of the Private Placement Transaction, which was attained at our 2014 annual meeting of stockholders on April 17, 2014. The Private Placement Transaction closed on April 22, 2014.

The three-year Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.06 per share, for an aggregate of approximately 9,428,000 shares of our common stock. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum, payable monthly in cash or, at our discretion provided certain conditions are met each payment period, in shares of our common stock at a price equal to 90% of a calculated market price per share. In connection with the purchase of the Convertible Notes, the Purchasers received five-year Warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 9,428,000 shares of our common stock, which were exercisable immediately upon issuance at an exercise price of $1.19 per share. We could receive up to a maximum of $11,219,320 in proceeds from the cash exercise of all Warrants held by the Purchasers. As of the date hereof, none of the Warrants have been exercised. We cannot precisely estimate the allocation of the net proceeds from any exercise of the Warrants for cash. Accordingly, in the event the Warrants are exercised for cash, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds of such exercises.

For one year after the date of issuance, the conversion price of the Convertible Notes and the exercise price of the Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the issuance of any common stock or securities convertible into shares of our common stock below the then-existing conversion or exercise price, as applicable, subject to certain exceptions. In the event of certain change in control transactions, the holders of the Convertible Notes and Warrants will be entitled to (i) receive upon conversion or exercise the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property which the holders would have received had they converted or exercised their Convertible Notes or Warrants, as applicable, immediately prior to such transaction and (ii) have their securities assumed by the surviving entity. In addition, if such a transaction involves cash consideration, is a going private transaction, or involves securities not listed on the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to have their Warrants repurchased at a calculated Black-Scholes value of such Warrants at any time within 60 days after the transaction. Subject to limited exceptions, we will not permit the conversion of the Convertible Notes or exercise of the Warrants of any Purchaser, if after such conversion or exercise such Purchaser would beneficially own more than 4.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock.

The foregoing sale of securities was made in reliance upon the exemption for registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act (and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder) for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All of the foregoing securities are deemed restricted securities for the purposes of the Securities Act.

4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The goodwill and intangible assets amounts as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were recorded as part of the purchase price allocation for the Merger. The carrying amount of goodwill as of December 31, 2013 was $8.5 million and unchanged during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Intangible assets as of June 30, 2014 consisted of the following (in thousands):

			Amortization
			Period (Years)
Trademark	$	830	Indefinite
Product trademarks		1,530	15-17
Technology		13,001	15-17
Customer relationships		475	10
		15,836
Less: accumulated amortization		(1,071)
	$	14,765

Goodwill and trademarks are tested annually for impairment and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our outstanding common stock below our net equity carrying amount. All other intangible assets are assessed for reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Should our stock price continue to decline, or other impairment indicators occur, we may have to perform an impairment assessment of our intangible assets at an interim date and prior to our required assessment at year-end for goodwill and trademark .

The notification letter has no effect on the listing of Common Stock at this time, which will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “BAXS”. We have been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until December 1, 2014, to regain compliance. The letter states that the NASDAQ staff will provide written notification that we have regained compliance if at any time before December 1, 2014, the bid price of Common Stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. In the event we do not regain compliance within the 180-day grace period, we may be eligible for additional time if we meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and provide written notice to NASDAQ of our intent to cure the deficiency by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If we are able to meet these requirements, the NASDAQ staff will inform us that we have been granted an additional 180 calendar days. If we fail to regain compliance after the second 180-day grace period, our Common Stock may be subject to delisting by NASDAQ. We intend to actively monitor the bid price for Common Stock and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the NASDAQ minimum bid price requirement.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Basis of Presentation

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC on March 10, 2014 (“2013 Form 10-K”). The Company’s historical results are not necessarily indicative of future operating results, and the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or for any other period.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our annual audited consolidated financial statements and contain all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of Company’s management necessary to present fairly our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The principal estimates relate to accounts receivable reserves, inventory valuation, valuation of stock-based compensation, accrued expenses, deferred tax asset valuation reserves, and the valuation of embedded derivatives and warrants for common stock. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The condensed consolidated balance sheet that we have presented as of December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements on that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

Our financial statements are prepared on the basis that our business will continue as a going concern in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. However, our independent registered public accounting firm has indicated in its audit report on our fiscal 2013 financial statements, included in our 2013 Form 10-K, that our recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

At June 30, 2014, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 million and accounts receivable, net of $3.8 million. Our ability to fund our cash and future liquidity requirements is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital, increase revenues, maintain our relationships with certain vendors, successfully avoid an event of default under our debt agreements, maintain tight controls over spending and attain our other business objectives on a timely basis. To meet our capital needs, we are actively pursuing multiple alternatives to raise additional funds, including additional debt or equity financings and other sources of funding. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital from cash flows from operations and the infusion of additional capital to fund our operations in the near term, we will need to implement further expense reduction measures, including workforce reductions, the consolidation of operations and/or the delay or cancellation of certain operational programs, pursue a plan to license or sell our assets, or to cease operations. Please refer to “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of our cash requirements and efforts to obtain additional capital.

Significant Accounting Policies

A detailed description of our significant accounting policies is presented in the footnotes to our annual audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Form 10-K. Our significant accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions have not changed materially since December 31, 2013, except for those related to our 2014 convertible notes.

Segment and Geographic Reporting

We apply the relevant guidance which establishes standards for the reporting by business enterprises of information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. We have determined that we did not have any separately reportable segments. All our products provide surgical treatment for the lumbar region of the spine. Long-lived assets are primarily located in the United States.

Net Loss per Common Share

We calculate basic earnings per share based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. We calculate diluted earnings per share based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common share equivalents calculated using the treasury stock method. Our potential dilutive common shares, which consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, restricted stock units, warrants and conversion of notes, have not been included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share for all periods as the result would be anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the potential shares of common stock that are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share as the result would be anti-dilutive as of the end of each period presented:

  Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). The FASB issued ASU 2014-09 to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes the most current revenue recognition guidance. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact that the implementation of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC on March 10, 2014 (“2013 Form 10-K”). The Company’s historical results are not necessarily indicative of future operating results, and the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or for any other period.

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our annual audited consolidated financial statements and contain all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of Company’s management necessary to present fairly our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The principal estimates relate to accounts receivable reserves, inventory valuation, valuation of stock-based compensation, accrued expenses, deferred tax asset valuation reserves, and the valuation of embedded derivatives and warrants for common stock. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The condensed consolidated balance sheet that we have presented as of December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements on that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

Our financial statements are prepared on the basis that our business will continue as a going concern in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. However, our independent registered public accounting firm has indicated in its audit report on our fiscal 2013 financial statements, included in our 2013 Form 10-K, that our recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

At June 30, 2014, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $2.3 million and accounts receivable, net of $3.8 million. Our ability to fund our cash and future liquidity requirements is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital, increase revenues, maintain our relationships with certain vendors, successfully avoid an event of default under our debt agreements, maintain tight controls over spending and attain our other business objectives on a timely basis. To meet our capital needs, we are actively pursuing multiple alternatives to raise additional funds, including additional debt or equity financings and other sources of funding. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital from cash flows from operations and the infusion of additional capital to fund our operations in the near term, we will need to implement further expense reduction measures, including workforce reductions, the consolidation of operations and/or the delay or cancellation of certain operational programs, pursue a plan to license or sell our assets, or to cease operations. Please refer to “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of our cash requirements and efforts to obtain additional capital.

Equity [Abstract]

Stockholders Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block]

7. Stockholders’ Equity

Our Certificate of Incorporation, which was adopted in connection with our initial public offering, authorized up to 80,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 75,000,000 shares were designated as common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) and 5,000,000 shares were designated as preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. On April 17, 2014 the Certificate of Incorporation was amended to authorize up to 155,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 150,000,000 shares were designated Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares were designated as preferred stock. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 48,659,826 and 46,156,921 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, respectively, and there were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

On June 3, 2014, we received a notification letter from The NASDAQ OMX Group (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the bid price of our Common Stock for the last 30 consecutive business days had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The notification letter has no effect on the listing of Common Stock at this time, which will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “BAXS”. We have been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until December 1, 2014, to regain compliance. The letter states that the NASDAQ staff will provide written notification that we have regained compliance if at any time before December 1, 2014, the bid price of Common Stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. In the event we do not regain compliance within the 180-day grace period, we may be eligible for additional time if we meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and provide written notice to NASDAQ of our intent to cure the deficiency by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If we are able to meet these requirements, the NASDAQ staff will inform us that we have been granted an additional 180 calendar days. If we fail to regain compliance after the second 180-day grace period, our Common Stock may be subject to delisting by NASDAQ. We intend to actively monitor the bid price for Common Stock and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the NASDAQ minimum bid price requirement. 

Stock Purchase Agreement

On December 3, 2013, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), pursuant to which we have the right to sell to Lincoln Park up to $7.0 million in shares of Common Stock, subject to certain limitations. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we have the right, on any business day and as often as every other business day over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement, at our sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, to direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock, which amount may be increased, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price of shares of Common Stock related to the future funding will be based upon the prevailing market prices of the Common Stock at the time of sales, and shares will be sold to Lincoln Park on any date that the closing price of the Common Stock is above the floor price as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. In addition, we may direct Lincoln Park to purchase additional amounts as accelerated purchases if, on the date of a regular purchase, the closing sale price of the Common Stock is not below a threshold price as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

As consideration for its commitment to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we issued to Lincoln Park 182,609 shares of Common Stock immediately upon entering the Purchase Agreement and will issue up to 60,870 shares pro rata as and when Lincoln Park purchases Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of these commitment shares. As of June 30, 2014, 210,433 commitment shares were issued to Lincoln Park. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we sold 0.7 million and 2.4 million shares, respectively, of Common Stock to Lincoln Park for an aggregate purchase price of $0.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Stock Purchase Agreement Modification

Effective July 11, 2014, we modified our Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park to, among other things, (i) increase the number of shares of Common Stock that we have the right to sell to Lincoln Park from 100,000 shares to 125,000 shares as often as every business day, which amount may be further increased in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, (ii) increase the aggregate amount of Common Stock that we have the right, subject to certain limitations, to direct Lincoln Park to purchase over the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement from $7.0 million to $8.2 million, and (iii) decrease the floor closing price that the Common Stock must trade above in order for sales to be made to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement from $1.00 to $0.50 per share. Following the modification, the number of shares potentially issuable by us on a pro rata basis as and when Lincoln Park purchases Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement increased to 657,895 shares.

Warrant Agreement

In connection with the Credit Facility, we issued to Hercules the Warrant. The aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise is limited to 1,176,471. The Warrant is exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the Credit Facility Closing Date and will be exercised automatically on a net issuance basis if not exercised prior to the expiration date. See further details under “Common Stock Warrant Liability for Hercules” in Note 5.

8. Stock Incentive Plans and Stock-Based Compensation

We have an employee stock purchase plan and other long-term incentive plans, which provide for the grant of awards in the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs), to eligible employees, directors, and consultants. We established the Baxano Surgical, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2007 Plan”) in October 2007. Under the 2007 Plan, we may grant options to employees, directors or service providers and contractors for a maximum of 7,600,000 shares of Common Stock. Share-based compensation expense was $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Stock Option Program

The following table is a summary of stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2014:

	Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding as of December 31, 2013	3,985,590	$	3.31	7.71	$	11,125
Options granted	1,294,000		0.78	9.84		-
Options exercised	(2,000)		0.28	0.03		856
Options expired or canceled	(174,701)		5.32	6.24		-
Options forfeited	(694,925)		1.93	-		-
Outstanding as of June 30, 2014	4,407,964	$	2.71	7.77	$	3,855
Exercisable at June 30, 2014	2,199,577	$	3.89	6.35	$	3,855
Vested and expected to vest as of June 30, 2014	4,188,471	$	2.77	7.69	$	3,855

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the $0.57 closing price of Common Stock as reported by The NASDAQ Global Market on June 30, 2014 and the weighted average exercise price, multiplied by the number of options outstanding or exercisable. We do not record the aggregate intrinsic value for financial accounting purposes and the value changes based upon changes in the fair value of Common Stock.

The following weighted-average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014:

Risk-free interest rate	1.9	%
Expected term	6.0
Expected volatility	63.4	%

On January 2, 2014, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors approved the terms of the 2014 Restricted Stock Unit Retention Program (the “RSU Program”) and the grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to all our executives and management pursuant to the RSU Program and our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended. Each award amount equals a number of stock-settled RSUs reflecting one times the employee’s current salary at a target value of $3.00 per share of Common Stock. A portion of the RSU awards is subject to time-based vesting and a portion of the RSU awards is subject to performance-based vesting as outlined below:

⋅ 75% is time-based (25% vests on first anniversary of grant date, 37.5% vests on second and third anniversaries of grant date);

⋅ 25% is performance-based (100% vests upon the achievement of a 30% increase in Company revenue year-over-year for two successive quarters by the end of fiscal 2016).

The following table is a summary of restricted stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2014:

Subsequent Event

In connection with the expiration of the lease on our San Jose facility in early December 2014 and after careful consideration of all of our options, we commenced a plan in July 2014 that is designed to improve our operational performance for the future. The plan calls for us to close the San Jose facility and outsource the manufacturing of the iO-Flex, iO-Tome sterile assemblies and AxiaLIF Blade Subassembly conducted at the facility. We expect the product transfer to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014. There were no costs associated with this plan that were required to be recognized in the consolidated condensed financial statement for the period ended June 30, 2014.

5. Credit Facility, Convertible Notes and Common Stock Warrants

Credit Facility with Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc.

On December 3, 2013 (the “Credit Facility Closing Date”), we obtained a credit facility of up to $15.0 million (the “Credit Facility”) from Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Hercules”). The Credit Facility is governed by a loan and security agreement, dated December 3, 2013 (the “Loan Agreement”), which provides for up to three separate advances, with the first advance of $7.5 million available at closing. The availability of the second advance of $2.5 million was dependent upon our achieving $6.0 million in gross commercial revenue for the fourth quarter of our 2013 fiscal year. The availability of the third advance of $5.0 million was dependent upon our achieving $7.0 million in gross commercial revenue for the first quarter of our 2014 fiscal year and net proceeds of at least $15.0 million from sales of our equity securities on or before June 15, 2014. We did not achieve the requirements to draw the second or third advances.

The following table presents the components of the Credit Facility (in thousands):

	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Advance	$	7,500	$	7,500
Final payment		263		263
Debt discounts, including common stock warrant		(780)		(932)
Total long-term debt		6,983		6,831
Less: Current portion of long-term debt		(1,940)		(563)
Total long-term debt, net of current portion	$	5,043	$	6,268

The Credit Facility has a term of 39 months and accrues interest at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 7.75% (with the prime rate subject to a floor of 4.75%), calculated on an actual/360 basis and payable monthly in arrears. Amounts outstanding during an event of default accrue interest at a rate of 3% in excess of the above rate, and past due amounts are subject to a 5% late charge. Outstanding principal will amortize in the 30-month period preceding maturity, payable in equal installments of principal and interest (subject to recalculation upon a change in prime rates). Any advance may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, subject to a prepayment fee of 1-2% if prepaid more than one year after closing. In addition, a fee equal to 3.50% of all advances made under the Credit Facility will be payable upon the final principal payment or prepayment in full of the advances. The Credit Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets.

The Loan Agreement contains customary covenants and representations, including a financial reporting covenant and limitations on cash dividends, distributions, debt, contingent obligations, liens, loans, investments, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, subsidiaries, and changes in control. We are not allowed to declare or pay any cash dividends or make cash distributions on any class of stock or other equity interest, except that our subsidiary may pay dividends or make distributions up to Baxano Surgical. There are no financial covenants. Prior to the maturity of the Credit Facility, Hercules will also have the right to participate on the same terms as other participants in certain types of our broadly marketed equity financings.

The events of default under the Loan Agreement include, without limitation, (1) a material adverse change in our ability to perform our obligations under the Loan Agreement, or in the value of our collateral, and (2) an event of default under any other of our indebtedness in excess of $150,000. If an event of default occurs, Hercules is entitled to take enforcement action, including acceleration of amounts due under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement also contains other customary provisions, such as expense reimbursement and confidentiality. Hercules has indemnification rights and the right to assign the Credit Facility.

The estimated fair value of the debt (categorized as a Level 2 liability for fair value measurement purposes) is determined using current market factors and our ability to obtain debt at comparable terms to those that are currently in place. We believe the estimated fair value at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 approximates the carrying amount.

In connection with the Credit Facility, we issued to Hercules a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock (the “Warrant”). The Warrant consists of two tranches, the first tranche issued at closing and the second tranche to be issued if and when Hercules makes a second advance under the Loan Agreement. The first tranche is exercisable for a number of shares of our common stock equal to $900,000 divided by the exercise price. The second tranche is exercisable for a number of shares of our common stock equal to $300,000 divided by the exercise price. We did not achieve the requirements to draw the second or third advances under the Loan Agreement and, therefore, the second tranche of the Warrant has not been issued. The exercise price is $1.02 per share initially, but is subject to downward adjustment upon our consummation of a financing at a lower effective price per share during the one-year period following the Credit Facility Closing Date. The aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise is limited to 1,176,471. The Warrant is exercisable by Hercules in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to the fifth anniversary of the Credit Facility Closing Date. The Warrant will be exercised automatically on a net issuance basis if not exercised prior to the expiration date.

The Warrant is considered a mark-to-market liability which is re-measured to fair value at each reporting period due to a provision whereby the exercise price of the Warrant could be decreased if we had a subsequent issue of equity instruments at a price less than $1.02 per share. We will be required to mark-to-market the fair value of the warrant liability each reporting period over the warrants term. At December 3, 2013, we recorded as a liability the initial Warrant tranche for 882,353 shares of our common stock at an estimated fair value of approximately $0.7 million with an offset to debt discount. The debt discount associated with the initial value of the Warrant is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Credit Facility.

Convertible Notes

On March 11, 2014, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) whereby we agreed to sell approximately $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of subordinated convertible debentures (the “Convertible Notes”), together with warrants (the “Convertible Warrants”) to purchase 9,428,000 shares of our Common Stock in a private placement transaction (the “Private Placement Transaction”). The closing of the full amount of securities in the Private Placement Transaction was subject to stockholder approval, which was attained at our 2014 annual meeting of stockholders on April 17, 2014. The Private Placement closed on April 22, 2014 (the “Private Placement Closing Date”).

Convertible notes as of June 30, 2014 consisted of the following (in thousands):

Principal	$	9,994
Discounts, including common stock warrant and embedded derivative		(4,524)
Total long-term debt		5,470
Less: Current portion of convertible notes		-
Total convertible notes, net of current portion	$	5,470

The three-year Convertible Notes will be convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $1.06 per share, for an aggregate of approximately 9,428,000 shares of Common Stock. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum, payable monthly in cash or, at our discretion provided certain conditions (“Equity Conditions”) are met each payment period, in shares of Common Stock at a price equal to 90% of a calculated market price per share. In connection with the purchase of the Convertible Notes, the selling stockholders received five-year Convertible Warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 9,428,000 shares of Common Stock, which were exercisable immediately upon issuance at an exercise price of $1.19 per share.

The Convertible Notes are subordinated to the Credit Facility and pursuant to a subordination agreement with Hercules (the “Subordination Agreement”), cash payments by us to the Purchasers under the transaction documents related to the Private Placement Transaction are subject to a $1.5 million cap for so long as the Credit Facility remains outstanding (with any amounts in excess of that cap to be held in abeyance for the Purchasers until the Credit Facility is no longer outstanding). In connection with obtaining Hercules’ consent for the Private Placement Transaction, we paid Hercules a one-time non-refundable cash facility fee in the amount of $300,000. The Convertible Notes also contain certain cross default provisions with respect to the Credit Facility. The Convertible Notes contain no financial covenants. The Convertible Notes contain customary debt instrument covenants. Upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default,” the interest rate on the Convertible Notes increases to 15% and we can be required to redeem the Convertible Notes in whole or in part in cash at 110% of the outstanding balance.

For one year after the date of issuance, the conversion price of the Convertible Notes and the exercise price of the Convertible Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the issuance of any Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock below the then-existing conversion or exercise price, as applicable, subject to certain exceptions. In the event of certain change in control transactions, the holders of the Convertible Notes and Convertible Warrants will be entitled to (i) receive upon conversion or exercise the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property which the holders would have received had they converted or exercised their Convertible Notes or Convertible Warrants, as applicable, immediately prior to such transaction; and (ii) have their securities assumed by the surviving entity. In addition, if such a transaction involves cash consideration, is a going private transaction, or involves securities not listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ, the holders of the Convertible Warrants will be entitled to have their Convertible Warrants repurchased at a calculated Black-Scholes value of such Convertible Warrants at any time within 60 days after the transaction. Subject to limited exceptions, the Company will not permit the conversion of the Convertible Notes or exercise of the Convertible Warrants of any Purchaser, if after such conversion or exercise such Purchaser would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock subject to adjustment of 9.99% with 60 days’ notice by the Purchasers.

We accounted for the Convertible Notes as an instrument that has the characteristics of a debt host contract containing several embedded derivative features that would require bifurcation and separate accounting as a derivative instrument pursuant to the provisions of ASC 815. We elected not to use the fair value option to account for the Convertible Notes and embedded derivatives as one hybrid instrument. We accounted for the derivative and warrants as liabilities due to certain adjustment provisions, which requires that they be recorded at fair value. The derivative and warrant liabilities are subject to revaluation at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value will be recorded as a change in fair value in non-operating items until the earlier of expiration or its exercise at which time the liabilities will be reclassified to equity. The debt discount associated with the initial value of the derivatives and warrants will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes.

The estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes (categorized as a Level 2 liability for fair value measurement purposes) is determined using current market factors and our ability to obtain debt at comparable terms to those that are currently in place. We believe the estimated fair value at June 30, 2014 approximates the carrying amount. The valuation assumptions are based on a the Convertible Debenture face amount of $10.0 million, cash coupon rate of 6%, time to maturity of 2.8 years, and a yield bond rate of 30%.

Warrants and Derivative Liabilities

Our derivative liability and common stock warrant liabilities are considered Level 3 instruments under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of our financial instruments (in thousands):

	Derivative Liability Associated with Convertible Notes		Common Stock Warrant Liability  Associated with Convertible Notes		Common Stock Warrant Liability Associated with Credit Facility

We valued the warrant liability associated with the Credit Facility using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Following is a summary of the key assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the Credit Facility Warrant:

							Issuance
	June 30,			December 31,			December 3,
	2014			2013			2013
Stock Price	$	0.57		$	1.01		$	1.18

Expected volatility		73.9	%		73.6	%		74.2	%
Term (years)		4.4			4.9			5.0

We used a Monte Carlo simulation analysis to value the warrant liability associated with the Convertible Notes by modeling scenarios associated with the possible “strike price” reset provision. For the embedded derivative related to the conversion feature, as there is a conversion price reset feature, we recognized that the possible values for the Convertible Notes were path-dependent, and thus also chose to use a Monte Carlo simulation analysis to value this derivative.

Following is a summary of the key assumptions used to value the warrant liability associated with the Convertible Warrants:

				Issuance

	2014			2014
Stock price	$	0.57		$	0.97
