ReShape Lifesciences Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts; unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of Reshape Lifesciences Inc. (the “Company” or “ReShape”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed on April 8, 2022. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted.
In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statement for Correction of Immaterial Errors
The Company revised the statement of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2020, March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2022, to reflect the correction of an immaterial error in the computation of the weighted average shares used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share. This revision has no impact on the Company’s net loss or accumulated deficit.

Reverse Stock Split and Merger Exchange Ratio

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on April 8, 2022.
10
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates. The Company reviews its estimates on an ongoing basis or as new information becomes available to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in its business.
Acquisition
The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. Purchase accounting results in assets and liabilities of an acquired business generally being recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative related costs in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company performs valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and allocates the purchase price to its respective assets and liabilities. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates.
Upon completion of the business combination with Obalon on June 15, 2021, the transaction was treated as a “reverse acquisition” for financial accounting purposes. As a result of the controlling interest of the former shareholders of ReShape, for financial statement reporting and accounting purposes, ReShape was considered the acquirer under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-10-55. The reverse acquisition is deemed a capital transaction in substance whereas the historical assets and liabilities of Obalon before the business combination were replaced with the historical financial statements of ReShape in all future filings with the SEC.
Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets relate to in-process research and development ("IPR&D") acquired in business combinations. The estimated fair values of IPR&D projects acquired in a business combination which have not reached technological feasibility are capitalized and accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets until completion or abandonment of the projects. In accordance with guidance within FASB ASC 350 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,” goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives are not subject to amortization but must be evaluated for impairment.
We evaluate long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment by comparison of the carrying amounts to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Should an impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured based on the excess carrying value of the asset over the asset’s fair value or estimates of future discounted cash flows.
For goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, in-process research and development, we review for impairment annually and upon the occurrence of certain events as required by ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other.” Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested at least annually for impairment and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We review goodwill for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If we are able to determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we would conclude that goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative, the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of
11
impairment loss, if any, when it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. The Company recorded an impairment loss for indefinite-lived intangible assets for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022. See Note 4 below for details.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain accrued and other liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. Refer to Note 5 regarding the fair value of debt instruments and Note 9 regarding fair value measurements and inputs of warrants.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were no new accounting standards adopted by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
New accounting standards not yet adopted are discussed below.
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which is intended to provide financial statement users with more useful information about expected credit losses on financial assets held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, which amended the new standard by providing targeted transition relief. The new guidance replaces the existing incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable forward-looking information to estimate all expected credit losses. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, which amended the new standard by providing additional clarification. This guidance is effective for the fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
(2) Liquidity and Management’s Plans
The Company currently does not generate revenue sufficient to offset operating costs and anticipates such shortfalls to continue primarily due to the unpredictability of new variants of COVID-19, which may result in a slow-down of elective surgeries and restrictions in some locations. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had net working capital of approximately $
Given the Company’s projected operating requirements and its existing cash and cash equivalents management’s plans include evaluating different strategies to obtain the required funding of future operations. Our anticipated operations include plans to (i) increase the sales and operations of the Company with the Lap-Band product line in order
12
to expand sales domestically and internationally (ii) improve operational efficiencies, resulting in a reduction of operational expenses, as well as a reduction to marketing and advertising costs, primarily due to focusing on digital media rather than television and print and (iii) to continue promoting our reshapecare virtual health coaching program as an addition to bariatric surgery or as an alternative to individuals that do not meet the criteria and/or do not want to go through bariatric surgery. If sales do not improve, we will reduce our expenditures for marketing, clinical and product development activities to maintain operational activities until a period of time in which we could obtain additional debt or equity financing to support our operations. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure such additional financing. Therefore, the plans cannot be deemed probable of being implemented. As a result, the Company’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above.
COVID-19 Risk and Uncertainties and CARES Act
COVID-19 pandemic continues to lead to unprecedented restrictions on, distributions in, and other related impacts on business and personal activities, including a shift in healthcare priorities, which resulted in a significant decline in medical procedures in 2020 in the United States and foreign countries. Concerns remain regarding the pace of economic recovery due to virus resurgences, including new variants, across the globe as well as vaccine distribution and hesitancy. The United States and other foreign governments may reimplement restrictions and other requirements in light of the continuing spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the continuing uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the full extent to which the pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition, including sales, expenses, manufacturing, clinical trials, research and development costs, reserves and allowances, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. These developments include, but are not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak (including new and more contagious variants of COVID-19), its severity, the actions to contain the virus or address its impact, the public acceptance and efficacy of vaccines and other treatments, United States and foreign governments actions to respond to the reduction of global activity, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.” The CARES Act, among other things, included provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The CARES Act established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under which the Company received a PPP loan. On February 3, 2021, the Company submitted the application for PPP loan forgiveness according to the terms and conditions of the United States Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Loan Forgiveness Application (Revised June 24, 2002).

Overview
We are the premier global weight-loss solutions company, offering an integrated portfolio of proven products and services that manage and treat obesity and associated metabolic disease. Our primary operations are in the following geographical areas: United States, Australia and certain European and Middle Eastern countries. Our current portfolio includes the Lap-Band Adjustable Gastric Banding System, the reshapecare virtual health coaching program, the ReShape Marketplace, the Obalon Balloon System, the ReShape Vest, an investigational device to help treat more patients with obesity, and the Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation device, a technology under development as a new treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus. There has been no revenue recorded for the ReShape Vest or the Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation as these products are still in the development stage. We continue to explore the compliance requirements, manufacturing viability and quality system controls necessary for re-introducing the Obalon Balloon System.
Recent Developments
On September 16, 2022, the Company was awarded a $300 thousand, Small Business Innovation Research grant for the development of ReShape’s Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation device. This device utilizes its proprietary vagus nerve block (vBloc) technology platform, combined with vagus nerve stimulation, for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes and metabolic disorders. Specifically, the grant will fund development of the device for the treatment of hypoglycemia.
On July 27, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Paul F. Hickey as President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors, effective August 15, 2022. Mr. Hickey succeeds Bart Bandy, who has separated from the Company to pursue other opportunities. Thomas Stankovich, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, served as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer until Mr. Hickey joined the Company. Dan W. Gladney, current Chair of the Board of Directors, assumed a more active role as Executive Chair, supporting Mr. Hickey and the Company on strategic matters.
On February 16, 2022, the Company renewed the office space lease in San Clemente, California for one year. This lease renewal will commence on July 1, 2022, and end on June 30, 2023.

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

Revenue totaled $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, which represents a contraction of 24.5%, or $0.9 million compared to the same period in 2021. The primary reason for the decrease, is due to a decrease in sales throughout Europe. The Company experienced a decrease in domestic sales during the first quarter of 2022 due to the emergence in late 2021 of the fast-spreading omicron variants of COVID-19 resulting in a significant rise in global cases causing a significant number of bariatric centers to close December 2021 through February 2022. We did see revenue begin to increase, as the omicron variant began to subside. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company placed more focus on domestic sales, resulting in lower international sales. Our expectation is revenue will continue to increase through the remainder of 2022, as we are focusing on a targeted digital media campaign near bariatric surgical centers that sell the Lap-Band system.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the both the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, was $2.1 million. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was 75.1% compared to 57.6% for the same period in 2021. The increase in gross profit percentage is due to an increase in domestic sales, which has a higher margin than international sales. Additionally, we had a reduction in payroll related costs during the third quarter of 2022.
Operating Expense. The following table summarizes our unaudited operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, as well as the percentage of total revenue and the amount of change and percentage of change (dollars in thousands):

Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022, decreased by $0.9 million, or 25.1%, to $2.6 million, compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease of $1.0 million in stock-based compensation expense, as during the third quarter of 2021 the Company issued both RSUs and stock options that vested based on employee start dates prior to the grant date, therefore a portion of the RSUs and stock options were vested as of the grant date (which we refer to below as a look back provision), which resulted in a $0.9 million expense at the time the awards were given. In addition, the Company had a $0.2 million decrease in commission expense due to reduced sales compared to the third quarter of 2021. This was offset by a $0.3 million increase in consulting and professional services, as we are working on developing the reshapecare platform.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022, decreased by $8.2 million, or 67.9%, to $3.9 million, compared to $12.1 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease of $8.1 million in stock-based compensation expense, as during the third quarter of 2021 the Company issued both RSUs and stock options containing a look back provision that resulted in a $6.8 million expense at the time the awards were given. Additionally, there was a reduction in payroll related expenses of $0.3 million.
Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022, decreased by $1.0 million, or 62.6%, to $0.6 million, compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease of $1.2 million in stock-based compensation expense, as during the third quarter of 2021 the Company issued both RSUs and stock options containing a look back provision that resulted in a $1.2 million expense at the time the awards were given. This was offset by a $0.2 million increase in consulting and professional service expenses related to the ReShape’s Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation device.
Impairment of Intangible Assets. Impairment of intangible assets was $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, due to the impairment of in-process research and development assets. This is a result of the Company currently not continuing with clinical trials for the ReShape Vest. For further details see Note 4 above.

Loss (Gain) on Foreign Currency. The Company had a loss on foreign currency of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a gain of $0.1 million for the same period in 2021.
Income Tax (Benefit) Expense. The Company had an income tax benefit of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, due to a reduction in the valuation allowance related to an impairment of indefinite lived assets, offset by income tax expense.

Revenue totaled $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which represents a contraction of 22.3%, or $2.3 million compared to the same period in 2021. The primary reason for the decrease, is due to the emergence in late 2021 of the fast-spreading omicron variants of COVID-19 resulting in a significant rise in global cases causing a significant number of bariatric centers to close December 2021 through February 2022. We have been experiencing an increase in revenue compared to January and February 2022, as the omicron variant began to subside. Our expectation is revenue will continue to increase through the remainder of 2022, as we are focusing on a targeted digital media campaign near bariatric surgical centers that sell the Lab-Band system.

Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was 64.0% compared to 62.8% for the same period in 2021. The increase in gross profit margin is primarily due to the Company focusing on domestic sales which has a high margin than international sales.

Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, increased by $5.8 million, or 93.8%, to $12.0 million, compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to an increase in advertising and marketing costs of $4.6 million. The Company launched its direct to consumer marketing campaign during the fourth quarter of 2021 and expanded this campaign during the first half of 2022. In addition, we had an increase in payroll related expenses of $1.0 million, as we continue to strengthen our commercial organization and have hired a senior VP of Commercial Operations, as well as additional sales personnel. There was a $0.7 million increase in consulting and professional services, as we are working on developing the reshapecare platform. Additionally, there was an increase in travel expenses of $0.1 million, primarily due to relaxing of COVID-19 restrictions. This was offset by a decrease of $0.8 million in stock-based compensation expense, as during the third quarter of 2021 the Company issued both RSUs and stock options containing a look back provision that resulted in a $0.9 million expense at the time the awards were given.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, decreased by $5.6 million, or 29.3%, to $13.5 million, compared to $19.1 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease of $6.7 million in stock-based compensation expense, as during the third quarter of 2021 the Company issued both RSUs and stock options containing a look back provision that resulted in a $6.8 million expense at the time the awards were given. In addition, there was a reduction in audit, consulting and professional fees of $1.9 million, as we had higher costs during 2021 due to the merger with Obalon. This was offset by an increase of legal expenses of $2.2 million, primarily related to recording litigation losses of $2.0 million during the second quarter of 2022. There was reduction in payroll related costs of $0.5 million due to personnel changes. Additionally, there was a decrease of $0.2 million in rent and $0.2 million insurance, due to the office and warehouse lease in Carlsbad, CA terminating during June 2022.
Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, decreased by $0.1 million, or 6.6%, to $2.1 million, compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease of $0.9 million in stock-based compensation expense, as during the third quarter of 2021 the Company issued both RSUs and stock options containing a look back provision that resulted in a $1.2 million expense at the time the awards were given. This was offset primarily due to an increase of $0.6 million in consulting and professional service expenses related to the ReShape’s Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation device. In addition, there was an increase of $0.1 million in payroll related costs.
Impairment of Intangible Assets. Impairment of intangible assets was $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, due to the impairment of in-process research and development assets. This is a result of the Company currently not continuing with clinical trials for the ReShape Vest. For further details see Note 4 above.
Loss on Disposal of Assets, net. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company disposed of $0.4 million of assets that were acquired from the merger with Obalon.
Net Interest (Income) Expense. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was minimal, compared to an expense of $0.8 million in 2021, which related to the debt that was extinguished during the second quarter of 2021.
(Gain) Loss on Foreign Currency. The Company had a foreign currency losses of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a gain of $0.2 million for the same period in 2021.
30
Income Tax (Benefit) Expense. The Company had an income tax benefit of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, due to a reduction in the valuation allowance related to an impairment of indefinite lived assets, offset by income tax expense related to projected income in the Netherlands and Australia.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company currently does not generate revenue sufficient to offset operating costs and anticipates such shortfalls to continue primarily due to the unpredictability of new variants of COVID-19, which may result in a slow-down of elective surgeries and restrictions in some locations. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had net working capital of approximately $6.1 million, primarily due to cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $6.2 million. The Company’s principal source of liquidity as of September 30, 2022, consisted of approximately $6.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, and $2.2 million of accounts receivable. Based on its available cash resources, the Company may not have sufficient cash on hand to fund its current operations for more than twelve months from the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes in the viability of its business strategy and in its ability to raise additional funds, however, there can be no assurance to that effect.
The Company is also evaluating further funding options, including seeking additional equity or debt financing to support the expansion of the Lap-Band system, reshapecare, and the continued development of the ReShape Vest and the ReShape Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation; and the re-introduction of the Obalon Balloon System and other strategic market opportunities.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities from operations was $19.1 million and $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of our net loss of $29.6 million, partially offset by non-cash adjustments for impairment of intangible assets of $6.9 million, stock-based compensation expense of $2.0 million, amortization of intangible assets of $1.4 million, depreciation expense of $0.3 million, provision for excess and obsolete inventory of $0.2 million and loss on disposal of assets of $0.4 million, offset by non-cash reduction of expense for deferred income tax of $0.6 million and bad debt expense of $0.1 million. We show a negative cash impact to inventory of $1.3 million, as the Company is building up its inventory to meet the expected increase in demand due to the marketing strategies, and warranty liability of $0.3 million. This was offset by a positive cash impact to accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $0.1 million, accounts and other receivables of $0.7 million and prepaid expenses of $0.7 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of our net loss of $26.5 million, partially offset by non-cash adjustments for stock-based compensation expense of $10.5 million, amortization of intangible assets of $1.3 million, net loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.1 million, warrant expense of $2.8 million and amortization of debt discount of $0.5 million. We show a negative cash impact to accounts receivable of $0.9 million, as we had an increase in sales late in the third quarter, a negative impact due to increase prepaids of $0.4 million and a cash outflow for accounts payable and accruals of $1.8 million as the Company paid its vendors with the funds received in the equity raise during June of 2021. These decreases were partially offset by a change in other assets of $0.4 million.
31
Net Cash Provided (Used in) by Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was minimal.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $4.9 million, which was comprised of $5.2 million of cash received in connection with the merger with Obalon, offset by capital expenditures of $0.3 million, primarily related to the completion of moving manufacturing from Costa Rica to the United States.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, due to the proceeds received from an exercise of warrants from an institutional investor.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $33.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, due to proceeds of $45.6 million received from exercises of warrants from institutional investors, $1.0 million received from the credit agreement with an institutional investor, and $0.4 million in proceeds received from stock option exercises, offset by the early payment of $10.5 million to pay off the credit agreement and $3.2 million for financing costs.
Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements
Given the Company’s projected operating requirements and its existing cash and cash equivalents management’s plans include evaluating different strategies to obtain the required funding of future operations. Our anticipated operations include plans to (i) integrate the sales and operations of the Company with the Lap-Band product line in order to expand sales domestically and internationally (ii) improve operational efficiencies, resulting in a reduction of operational expenses, as well as a reduction to marketing and advertising costs, primarily due to focusing on digital media rather than television and print and (iii) to continue promoting reshapecare as an addition to bariatric surgery or as an alternative to individuals that do not meet the criteria and/or do not want to go through bariatric surgery. If sales do not improve, we will reduce our expenditures for marketing, clinical and product development activities to maintain operational activities until a period of time in which we could obtain additional debt or equity financing to support our operations. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure such additional financing. Therefore, the plans cannot be deemed probable of being implemented. As a result, the Company’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations, the costs to complete development of products and the cost to commercialize our products are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially and negatively as a result of a number of factors, including the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect.
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of medical devices, such as our ReShape Vest and Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation, we are unable to estimate the exact amounts of capital outlays and operating expenditures necessary to complete the development of the ReShape Vest and Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation or other additional products and successfully deliver a commercial product to the market. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the following:
● | the cost and timing of establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities; |
● | the cost of establishing clinical and commercial supplies of our ReShape Vest and Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation, and any products that we may develop; |
● | the rate of market acceptance of our ReShape Vest and Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation, and any other product candidates; |
● | the cost of filing and prosecuting patent applications and defending and enforcing our patent and other intellectual property rights; |
32
● | the cost of defending, in litigation or otherwise, any claims that we infringe third-party patent or other intellectual property rights; |
● | the effect of competing products and market developments; |
● | the cost of explanting clinical devices; |
● | the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing or other arrangements that we may establish; |
● | any revenue generated by sales of our Lap-Band, reshapecare, ReShape Marketplace, Obalon Balloon System, ReShape Vest, Diabetes Bloc-Stim Neuromodulation or our future products; |
● | the scope, rate of progress, results and cost of our clinical trials and other research and development activities; |
● | the cost and timing of obtaining any further required regulatory approvals; and |
● | the extent to which we invest in products and technologies, although we currently have no commitments or agreements relating to any of these types of transactions. |
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Information with respect to our critical accounting policies and estimates which we believe could have the most significant effect on our reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management is contained in Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no significant changes from the information discussed therein.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 there were no material changes to our significant accounting policies above, which are fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide disclosure pursuant to this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” as those controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can
33
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. An internal control material weakness is a significant deficiency, or aggregation of deficiencies, that does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that material misstatements in financial statements will be prevented or detected on a timely basis by employees in the normal course of their work. An internal control significant deficiency, or aggregation of deficiencies, is one that could result in a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than inconsequential. In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2022, and determined that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at a reasonable assurance level due to the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:
Control Environment: We had insufficient internal resources with appropriate accounting and finance knowledge and expertise to design, implement, document and operate effective internal controls around our financial reporting process. The insufficient internal resources resulted in a lack of review over our weighted average share calculation spreadsheet which included a formula error resulting in the inaccurate reporting of our earnings per share.
We are currently implementing our remediation plan to address the material weaknesses identified above. Such measures include:
● | Hiring additional accounting personnel to ensure timely reporting of significant matters. |
● | Designing and implementing controls to formalize roles and review responsibilities to align with our team's skills and experience and designing and implementing formalized controls. |
● | Designing and implementing formal processes, policies and procedures supporting our financial close process. |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than in connection with executing upon the continued implementation of the remediation measures referenced above, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On August 6, 2021, Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”) filed a complaint against ReShape, as successor in interest to Obalon Therapeutics, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York based on an alleged breach of contract arising out of Cowen’s prior engagement as Obalon’s financial advisor. The complaint alleges that Cowen is entitled to be paid a $1.35 million fee in connection with ReShape’s merger with Obalon under the terms of Cowen’s engagement agreement with Obalon. The complaint also seeks reimbursement of Cowen’s attorneys’ fees and interest in connection with its claim. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter and the Company intends to vigorously defend this matter.
On August 18, 2021, H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) filed a complaint against ReShape in the Supreme Court of the State of New York based on an alleged breach of contract arising out of Wainwright’s prior engagement by ReShape in connection with certain capital raising transactions by ReShape. The complaint alleged that Wainwright was entitled to be paid a fee in connection with ReShape’s capital raising transaction under the warrant exercise agreement that ReShape entered into on June 28, 2021. Wainwright alleged that its June and September 2019 engagement agreements with ReShape require ReShape to pay Wainwright a cash fee equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds that ReShape received from the exercise of warrants issued pursuant to those engagement agreements, including warrants that were exercised in the June 2021 transaction. The complaint also sought reimbursement of Wainwright’s attorneys’ fees and interest in connection with its claim. On July 19, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive settlement and release agreement with Wainwright pursuant to which the Company made a one-time cash payment of $1.0 million to fully and finally resolve such matter.

The Company is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against it that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition, other than what is disclosed above. The medical device industry in which the Company operates is characterized by frequent claims and litigation, including claims regarding patent and other intellectual property rights as well as improper hiring practices. As a result the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings from time to time. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has accrued $1.0 million for potential legal settlements.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Except for the additional risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 8, 2022.
We received a bid price deficiency notice from the Nasdaq Capital Market. If we are unable to cure this deficiency and meet the Nasdaq continued listing requirements, we could be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, which would negatively impact the trading of our common stock.
On July 19, 2022, we received a written notice (the “Bid Price Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications department (the “Nasdaq Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Nasdaq Listing Rules require listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share and, based upon the closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets this requirement. The Bid Price Notice provides that the Company will have a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance. If at any time during this period the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Nasdaq Staff will provide the Company with a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.
If the Company fails to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) prior to the expiration of the 180 calendar day period, but meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all of the other applicable standards for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price, and provides written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary, then the Company may be granted an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2).
Our board of directors authorized the submission of a proposal to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock in order to regain compliance with the minimum bid at the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. However, there can be no assurance that our stockholders will approve the proposal. Even if we are able to effect a reverse stock split, there is also no guarantee that we will be able to maintain the Nasdaq Capital Market listing of our common stock in the future.
If our common stock is delisted by Nasdaq, our common stock may be eligible for quotation on an over-the-counter quotation system or on the pink sheets. Upon any such delisting, our common stock would become subject to the regulations of the SEC relating to the market for penny stocks. A penny stock is any equity security not traded on a national securities exchange that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The regulations applicable to penny stocks may severely affect the market liquidity for our common stock and could limit the ability of stockholders to sell securities in the secondary market. In such a case, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock, and there can be no assurance that our common stock will be eligible for trading or quotation on any alternative exchanges or markets.
Delisting from Nasdaq could adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through public or private sales of equity securities, would significantly affect the ability of investors to trade our securities and would negatively affect the value and liquidity of our common stock. Delisting could also have other negative results, including the potential loss of confidence by employees, the loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities.

We are seeking stockholder approval to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock with a ratio within a range of 1-for-30 and 1-for-100, which if implemented may have adverse effects on our common stock.
We have submitted a proposal to our stockholders to consider at our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders scheduled for December 14, 2022 to authorize our Board to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) with a ratio in the range of 1-for-30 and 1-for-100, such ratio to be determined by our Board in its discretion. The principal purpose of the Reverse Stock Split is to decrease the total number of shares of common stock outstanding and proportionately increase the market price of the common stock above $1.00 per share in order to meet the continuing listing minimum bid price requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Delisting from Nasdaq would adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through the public or private sale of equity securities and would significantly affect the ability of investors to trade our securities. Delisting would also negatively affect the value and liquidity of our common stock because alternatives, such as the OTC Bulletin Board and the pink sheets, are generally considered to be less efficient markets. Our Board intends to effect the Reverse Stock Split only if it believes that a decrease in the number of shares outstanding is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and is likely to improve the trading price of our common stock and improve the likelihood that we will be allowed to maintain our continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Accordingly, our Board has approved the Reverse Stock Split in order to help ensure that the share price of our common stock meets the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Although we expect that the Reverse Stock Split will result in an increase in the market price of our common stock, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split, if effected, will increase the market price of our common stock in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding or result in a permanent increase in the market price. The effect that the Reverse Stock Split may have upon the market price of our common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of similar reverse stock splits for companies in similar circumstances to ours is varied. The market price of our common stock is dependent on many factors, including our business and financial performance, general market conditions, prospects for future growth and other factors detailed from time to time in the reports we file with the SEC. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our common stock after the proposed Reverse Stock Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the proposed Reverse Stock Split and, in the future, the market price of our common stock following the Reverse Stock Split may not exceed or remain higher than the market price prior to the proposed Reverse Stock Split.
Even if our stockholders approve the Reverse Stock Split and the Reverse Stock Split is effected, there can be no assurance that we will continue to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Although the Reverse Stock Split will not, by itself, have any immediate dilutive effect on stockholders, the proportion of shares owned by stockholders relative to the number of shares authorized for issuance will decrease because the number of authorized shares of common stock would remain unchanged. As a result, additional authorized shares of common stock would become available for issuance at such times and for such purposes as the Board may deem advisable without further action by stockholders, except as required by applicable law or stock exchange rules. To the extent that additional authorized shares of common stock are issued in the future, such shares could be dilutive to existing stockholders of the Company by decreasing such stockholders’ percentage of equity ownership in the Company.
Although our Board believes that the decrease in the number of shares of common stock outstanding as a consequence of the Reverse Stock Split and the anticipated increase in the market price of common stock could encourage interest in our common stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for stockholders, such liquidity could also be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split.
