The Company’s operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, among others, current and potential competitors with greater resources, lack of operating history and uncertainty of future profitability. Since inception, the Company has incurred substantial operating losses, principally from expenses associated with the Company’s research and development programs. The Company has not generated significant revenues from the sale of products and its ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability largely depends on the Company’s ability, alone or with others, to complete the development of its products or product candidates, and to obtain necessary regulatory approvals for the manufacture, marketing and sales of those products. These activities, including planned significant research and development efforts, will require significant uses of working capital through the remainder of 2017 and beyond.

 

On March 23, 2016, the Company effected the initial closing of its public offering of 15,800,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $2.85 per share (the “Offering”). Additionally, the Company closed on the partial exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares on April 5, 2016. The Company received aggregate net proceeds from the Offering of $44.8 million (after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions of $2.7 million and additional offering related costs of $1.4 million). On June 30, 2016, the Company entered into Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford”) and Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) to potentially borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million. Management has concluded that, based on the Company’s current operating plans, its existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities available for sale will be sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated operating needs into the third quarter of 2017. Accordingly, since management has concluded that the Company does not have sufficient funds to support operations through May 2018, the Company believes that doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists.

 

Historically, the Company has financed its operating activities through the sale of equity and equity linked securities and the issuance of debt. Although the Company began generating revenue from product sales of Eversense, its continuous glucose monitoring system, in June 2016, the Company does not expect product revenues to be sufficient to satisfy its operating needs for several years, if ever. Accordingly, the Company plans to continue financing its operations with external capital for the foreseeable future. However, the Company may not be able to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to secure sufficient capital to fund its research and development and other operating activities, the Company may be required to delay or suspend operations, enter into collaboration agreements with partners that could require the Company to share commercial rights to its products to a greater extent or at earlier stages in the product development process than is currently intended, merge or consolidate with other entities, or liquidate.
