ALF-X System (a carve-out of Sofar S.p.A.)

Notes to Unaudited Carve-out Financial Statements

June 30, 2015 and 2014

 

 

1. Business description and nature of operations

TransEnterix Italia S.r.l. (the “Company”), formerly known as Vulcanos S.r.l., is a limited liability company established under the Italian law on July 22, 2015. The Company is focused on the development and commercialization of the ALF-X System; it operates in Trezzano Rosa (Milano) and also utilizes an external warehouse based in Fara Gera D’Adda (Bergamo).

TransEnterix Italia S.r.l. is wholly owned by TransEnterix International, Inc., incorporated in Delaware, USA, which is a subsidiary of TransEnterix, Inc., an American publicly traded company, headquartered in North Carolina, and listed on the NYSE MKT Exchange.

TransEnterix, Inc. is a medical device company that is pioneering the use of robotics to improve minimally invasive surgery by addressing the clinical challenges associated with current laparoscopic and robotic options. TransEnterix, Inc. has developed the SurgiBot System, a single-port, robotically enhanced laparoscopic surgical platform.

On September 21, 2015, TransEnterix International, Inc. completed the acquisition of the Company from Sofar S.p.A. (the “Parent”), an Italian company based in Trezzano Rosa (Milano) that included all of the transferred assets, employees and contracts related to the advanced robotic system for minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery known as the ALF-X Surgical Robotic System (“ALF-X”) and changed the name of the Company from Vulcanos S.r.l. to TransEnterix Italia S.r.l. ALF-X is a multi-port robotic system that brings the advantages of robotic surgery to patients while enabling surgeons with innovative technology.

The carve-out financial statements of ALF-X System (a carve-out of Sofar S.p.A.) present the historical position, results of operations, changes in Parent’s equity to support the ALF-X project, and cash flows on a carve-out basis of the ALF-X System in connection with the acquisition.

The carve-out financial statements have been derived from the accounting records of Sofar S.p.A. on a carve-out basis.

 

2. Basis of presentation and methods of allocation

The carve-out financial statements of ALF-X System (a carve-out of Sofar S.p.A.) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”). The unaudited interim carve-out financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The unaudited interim carve-out financial statements do not include all disclosures required by US GAAP for full annual financial statements.

These financial statements have been prepared solely to demonstrate the historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows related to ALF-X for the indicated periods.

The carve-out financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses that are specifically identifiable to ALF-X.

In addition, the operating businesses within Sofar S.p.A. share a certain common overhead structure. Certain corporate assets, liabilities and expenses have been allocated to the ALF-X for the periods presented.

The allocations to the ALF-X are based on various assumptions and estimates. Management believes the methodology applied to the allocation is reasonable. The basis of allocation of certain assets, liabilities and expenses is described below.

ALF-X System (a carve-out of Sofar S.p.A.)

Notes to Unaudited Carve-out Financial Statements

June 30, 2015 and 2014

 

 

(a) Inventory

Inventories include finished ALF-X systems ready for sale and ALF-X components waiting to be assembled. All the items included as stock in these financial statements are clearly identified and directly related to ALF-X System (a carve-out of Sofar S.p.A.) and they have been allocated to the ALF-X based on the underlying technology.

(b) Intangibles

ALF-X is an advanced robotic system for minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery which was part of separate line of business in Sofar. Intangibles include the product patent and other costs incurred in connection with securing the patent.

(c) Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment are instruments related to the ALF-X system. The offices and the warehouse in Trezzano remain as Sofar property after the transaction; the utilization of these areas is classified under rent cost for ALF-X System (a carve-out of Sofar S.p.A.).

(d) Suppliers

The allocated trade payables are related to the supply of services and materials directly related to the ALF-X business.

(e) Shared services costs

Certain services (logistic, human resources, accounting, marketing, and information technology) have been provided by Sofar to the ALF-X project. For the purposes of these carve-out financial statements, these shared service costs have been allocated to the ALF-X business using the same allocation methods of the Service Agreement signed by Sofar S.p.A and Vulcanos S.r.l. on September 18, 2015.

The Service Agreement reports the total personnel cost (salary, benefits, tax contribution) and a percentage of this cost is allocated for the purpose of these carve-out financial statements using a survey-based estimate of the hours spent on the development of the ALF-X.

(f) Management costs

These costs have the same nature of shared function costs but they were not listed in the Service Agreement and they were related to the CEO, CFO, Business Development manager and Export manager.

These costs have been allocated based on the approximate time worked on the ALF-X business during the year based on the internal reporting used by management in making operating decisions.

 

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates primarily relate to useful lives of the fixed assets. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of ownership to the buyer and once the service is performed. The sales started in May 2015.

Intangibles

Intangible assets consist of ALF-X patent cost and related legal fees; the cost is amortized at the lesser of its useful life and its legal life, which is estimated to be in 20 years (5% rate).

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, and they are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, estimated in 7 years (14% rate).

Inventories

Inventories consist of finished goods, valued at lower between the cost and market. Cost is determined according to the specific identification cost. The Company provides estimated inventory allowances for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory as well as inventory whose carrying value is in excess of net realizable value. The inventory allowance was deemed not necessary as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 for the carve-out financial statements.

Other Current Assets

Other current assets consist of advance payments and deposits made to external suppliers which provide assembly and logistics services, mechanical parts transferred to external warehouses, prepaid expenses as part of expenses due in subsequent exercise for insurance, rent and no competition agreement.

Accounts Payable

Accounts payable consist of trade payables recorded at the original invoice amount.

Provision for severance indemnities

It consists of an estimated fund, provided by the Italian Law, for retirement benefit to the employees, in case of end of service or resignation, included in other long term liabilities.

Operating expenses

Operating costs are expensed as incurred. Operating expenses are mainly composed of cost of services, depreciation and amortization, and salaries.

Research and development costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and mainly composed of technical consultancies for the ALF-X design, and medical-scientific studies related to the development of the ALF-X.

Currency Transactions

The functional currency of the Company is the Euro. Transactions with foreign parties are translated using the exchange rate in effect on the date of settlement; the loss resulting from the re-measurement of these transactions between Euro and foreign currencies is included in other expenses.

Income Tax

The Company does not recognize income taxes due to the loss incurred in the carve-out financial statements. Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of the loss of the carve-out financial statements because they do not represent a tax credit according to Italian tax law.
