1.    Organization
 
Description of Business
 
Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) designs, develops and sells exoskeleton technology to augment human strength, endurance and mobility. The Company’s exoskeleton technology serves multiple markets and can be used both by able-bodied users as well as by persons with physical disabilities. The Company has sold or leased devices that (a) enable individuals with neurological conditions affecting gait (stroke and spinal cord injury) to rehabilitate and to walk again and (b) allow industrial workers to perform heavy duty work for extended periods. Founded in 2005, the Company is headquartered in the Bay Area and is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “EKSO”.
 
Liquidity and Going Concern
 
As of September 30, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $167,014.  Largely as a result of significant research and development activities related to the development of the Company’s advanced technology and commercialization of this technology into its medical device business, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. In the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company used $17,011 of cash in its operations.
 
Cash on hand at September 30, 2018 was $12,995, compared to $27,813 at December 31, 2017. As noted in Note 9, Long-Term Debt, borrowings under the Company’s long-term debt agreement have a requirement of minimum cash on hand roughly equivalent to three months of cash burn. As of September 30, 2018, the most recent determination of this restriction, $6,380 of cash must remain as unrestricted, with such amounts to be re-computed at each month end period. After considering cash restrictions, effective unrestricted cash as of September 30, 2018 is estimated to be $6,615. Based on the current forecast, the Company’s cash on hand will not be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s operations for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Based upon the Company’s current cash resources, the recent rate of using cash for operations and investment, and assuming modest increases in current revenue offset by incremental increases in expenses related to increased sales and marketing, the Company believes it has sufficient resources to meet its financial obligations into the first quarter of 2019. The Company will require significant additional financing. The Company’s actual capital requirements may vary significantly and will depend on many factors. The Company plans to continue its investments (i) in its clinical and sales initiatives to accelerate adoption of the Ekso robotic exoskeleton in the rehabilitation market, (ii) in its research, development and commercialization activities with respect to an Ekso robotic exoskeleton for rehabilitation, and/or (iii) in the development and commercialization of able-bodied exoskeletons for industrial use.

The Company is actively pursuing opportunities to obtain additional financing in the future through public or private equity and/or debt financings, corporate collaborations, or warrant solicitations. Sales of additional equity securities by the Company could result in the dilution of the interests of existing stockholders. There can be no assurance that financing will be available when required in sufficient amounts, on acceptable terms or at all. In the event that the necessary additional financing is not obtained, the Company may be required to further reduce its discretionary overhead costs substantially, including research and development, general and administrative, and sales and marketing expenses or otherwise curtail operations.
 
2.    Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Basis of Presentation
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a consistent basis with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the information set forth herein. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and therefore, omit certain information and footnote disclosure necessary to present the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, which was filed with the SEC on March

(Unaudited)

13, 2018. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year or any future periods.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 balance sheet, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. For the Company, these estimates include, but are not limited to: revenue recognition, deferred revenue and the deferral of the associated costs, future warranty costs, useful lives assigned to long-lived assets, valuation of inventory, realizability of deferred tax assets, the valuation of employee stock options and warrants, and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Inventory
 
Inventories are recorded at the lower of standard cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. Parts from vendors are received and recorded as raw material. Once the raw materials are incorporated in the fabrication of the product, the related value of the component is recorded as work in progress (“WIP”). Direct labor and manufacturing overhead costs are also allocated and recorded to WIP inventory. Finished goods are comprised of completed products that are ready for customer shipment. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of inventory on hand for potential excess amounts over sales and forecasted demand. Excess, obsolete, and impaired inventories identified, if any, are recorded as an inventory impairment charge to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company’s estimate of write downs for excess and obsolete inventory is based on a detailed analysis of on-hand inventory and purchase commitments in excess of forecasted demand.  Subsequent disposals of inventories are recorded as a reduction of an inventory reserve.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which when capable of being distinct, are accounted for as separate performance obligations.
 
Nature of Products and Services
 
The Company’s medical device segment revenue is primarily generated through the sale and lease of the Ekso GT and associated software (SmartAssist, VariableAssist), and sale of accessories, and support and maintenance contracts (Ekso Care). Revenue from medical device product sales is recognized at the point in time when control of the product transfers to the customer. Transfer of control generally occurs upon shipment from the Company’s facility for sales of the Ekso GT, software, and accessories. Ekso Care support and maintenance contracts extend coverage beyond the Company’s standard warranty agreements. The separately priced Ekso Care contracts range from 12 to 48 months. The Company receives payment at the inception of the contract and recognize revenue over the term of the agreement. Revenue from medical device leases is recognized over the lease term, typically over 12 months.

The Company’s industrial device segment revenue is generated by the sales of the support arm (EksoZeroG) and the upper body exoskeleton (EksoVest). Revenue from industrial device sales is recognized at the point in time when control of the product transfers to the customer. Transfer of control generally occurs upon shipment from the Company’s facility for sales of the EksoZeroG and EksoVest.
 
The Company’s engineering services segment revenue is generated by collaborative arrangements or government grants. Cost reimbursements or grant revenue are recognized over the life of the contract in proportion to the costs incurred in satisfying the obligations under the contract.
 
Refer to Note 6 – Revenue Recognition for further information, including revenue disaggregated by source.

Going Concern
 
The Company assesses its ability to continue as a going concern at every interim and annual period in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 205-40. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash accounts in excess of federally insured limits. However, the Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which these deposits are held. The Company extends credit to customers in the normal course of business and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable exist to the full extent of amounts presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company does not require collateral from its customers to secure accounts receivable.
 
Accounts receivable are derived from the sale of products shipped to and services performed for customers. Invoices are aged based on contractual terms with the customer. The Company reviews accounts receivable for collectability and records an allowance for credit losses, as needed. The Company has not experienced any material losses related to accounts receivable as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
 
Many of the sales contracts with customers outside of the U.S. are settled in a foreign currency. The Company does not enter into any foreign currency hedging agreements and is susceptible to gains and losses from foreign currency fluctuations. To date, the Company has not experienced significant gains or losses upon settling foreign currency denominated accounts receivable.
 
As of September 30, 2018, the Company had no customers with an accounts receivable balance totaling 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable compared with one customer as of December 31, 2017 (10%).
 
In the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had no customers with sales of 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, compared with one customer in the three months ended September 30, 2017 (16%).
 
In the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no customers with sales comprising 10% or more of the Company's total customer sales.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02-Leases (ASC 842) and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance under ASU 2017-13, ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-11 (collectively, Topic 842) to supersede existing guidance on accounting for leases in ASC 840, Leases (ASC 840). Topic 842 requires the Company to recognize on its balance sheet a lease liability representing the present value of future lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the lessee's right to use, or control the use of a specified asset for the lease term for any operating lease with a term greater than one year. This standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the Company will initially apply the new leases standard at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements

The Company is still in the process of quantifying the impact at this time, but anticipates that this standard will impact its condensed consolidated balance sheets with material increases in current and non-current assets and current and non-current lease liabilities associated with our property leases representing our office locations. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on its condensed consolidated statements of operations, as the majority of its leases will remain operating leases for which the right-of-use assets amortization will be similar to previously required straight-line expense treatment for operating leases. The adoption of Topic 842 will not have a material impact on the financial covenants set forth in the Company's long-term debt agreement.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 eliminated the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities are required to record an impairment charge based on the excess of the carrying amount over its fair value. This update will be effective for

(Unaudited)

the Company beginning January 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the impact of adopting ASU 2017-04 to be material on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The Update expands the scope of ASC 718 to include all share-based payment arrangements related to the acquisition of goods and services from both nonemployees and employees. Under the amended guidance, equity-classified share-based payment awards issued to nonemployees will be measured at grant date fair value. Upon transition, the entity is required to remeasure these nonemployee awards at fair value as of the adoption date.  The improvement is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the amendments in this update will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The standard modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820 by removing the requirement to disclose the reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the policy for timing of such transfers. The standard expands the disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurement, primarily focused on changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income. The amendments in this Update will be effective for all the Company in the first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the amendments in this update will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The new standard introduces a five-step process to be followed in determining the amount and timing of revenue recognition. It also provides guidance on accounting for costs incurred to obtain or fulfill contracts with customers, and establishes disclosure requirements which are more extensive than those required under prior U.S. GAAP. The FASB has issued numerous amendments to ASU 2014-09 from August 2015 through January 2018, which provide supplemental and clarifying guidance, as well as amend the effective date of the new standard. ASU 2014-09, as amended, is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or modified retrospective (cumulative effect) transition method. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new standard using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption did not result in a cumulative adjustment to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2018, nor did it materially impact the aggregate amount and timing of the Company’s revenue recognition subsequent to adoption. The Company has provided enhanced revenue recognition disclosures as required by the new standard (Refer to Note 6, Revenue Recognition).

4.    Fair Value Measurements
 
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

9

Table of Contents

($ and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)

 
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company considers a market to be active when transactions for the asset occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The valuation of Level 3 investments requires the use of significant management judgments or estimation.

The Company’s fair value hierarchies for its financial assets and liabilities which require fair value measurement are as follows:

6.    Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which when capable of being distinct, are accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue recognition is evaluated based on the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract with the customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.
 
For multiple-element arrangements, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices are determined based on observable prices at which the Company separately sells its products or services. If a standalone selling price is not directly observable, the Company estimates the selling price based on market conditions and entity-specific factors including features and functionality of the product and/or services, the geography of the Company’s customers, type of the Company’s markets. Any discounts or other reductions to the transaction price are allocated proportionately to all performance obligations within the multiple-element arrangement.
 
Contract Balances
 
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers and receipt of payment. For the sale of its products, the Company generally recognizes revenue at a point in time through the ship-and-bill performance obligations. For the lease of its products, the Company generally recognizes revenue over the lease term commencing upon the completion of customer training. For service agreements, the Company generally invoices customers at the beginning of the coverage period and record revenue related to the billed amounts over time, equivalent to the coverage period of the maintenance and support contract.
 
Deferred revenue is comprised mainly of unearned revenue related to extended support and maintenance contracts (Ekso Care) but also includes other offerings for which the Company has been paid in advance and earns revenue when the Company transfers control of the product or service.

As of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, were $2,988 and $2,760, respectively, and are included in current assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
 
The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days.

9.    Long-Term Debt
 
In December 2016, the Company entered into a loan agreement and received $7,000 that bears interest on the outstanding daily balance at a floating per annum rate equal to the 30-day U.S. LIBOR plus 5.41%. The loan agreement created a first priority security interest with respect to substantially all assets of the Company, including proceeds of intellectual property, but expressly excluding intellectual property itself.
 
The Company was required to pay accrued interest on the current loan on the first day of each month through and including January 1, 2018. Commencing on February 1, 2018, the Company is required to make equal monthly payments of principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest. The principal balance of the current loan amortizes ratably over 36 months, and matures on January 1, 2021, at which time all unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full. In addition, a final payment of $245 will be due on the maturity date, of which $161 has accreted as of September 30, 2018, to be paid in 2021 and is included as a component of note payable on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
 
In December 2016, and pursuant to the loan agreement, the Company entered into a success fee agreement with the lender under which the Company agreed to pay the lender a $250 success fee upon the first to occur of any of the following events: (a) a sale or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets; (b) a merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another person or entity, where the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting equity securities immediately prior to such merger or consolidation hold less than a majority of the issued and outstanding voting equity securities of the successor or surviving person or entity immediately following the consummation of such merger or consolidation; or (c) the closing price per share for the Company’s common stock being $8.00 or more for five successive business days. The estimated fair value of the success fee was determined using the Binomial Lattice Model and was recorded as a discount to the debt obligation. The fair value of the contingent success fee is re-measured each reporting period with any adjustments in fair value being recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The success fee is classified as a liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2018, the fair value of the contingent success fee liability was $33.

The loan agreement includes a liquidity covenant requiring that the Company maintain unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in accounts of the lender or subject to control agreements in favor of the lender in an amount equal to at least three months of “Monthly

Cash Burn,” which is the Company’s average monthly net income (loss) for the trailing six-month period plus certain expenses and plus the average monthly principal due and payable on interest-bearing liabilities in the immediately succeeding three-month period. Such amount was determined to be $6,380 as of September 30, 2018, the most current determination, with the amount subject to change on a month-to-month basis. At September 30, 2018, with cash on hand of $12,995, the Company was compliant with this liquidity covenant and all other covenants. 

The final payment fee, debt issuance costs, and the initial fair value of the success fee combined with the stated interest resulted in an effective interest rate of 10.11% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 9.92% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The final payment fee, initial fair value of the success fee and debt issuance costs was and will be accreted, amortized and amortized, respectively, to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the loan.

10.    Lease Obligations

In May 2017, the Company renewed its operating lease agreement for its headquarters and manufacturing facility in Richmond, California. The lease term will expire in May 2022.
 
In July 2017, the Company entered into an operating lease agreement for its European operations office in Hamburg, Germany. The initial Hamburg lease term will expire in July 2022, and the Company has an option to extend the lease for another five-year term. The Company has an unoccupied leased sales office in Freiburg, which has a lease term expiring in December 2020. In the second quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a $175 charge in sales and marketing expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss relating to remaining obligation of the lease.
 
In August 2015, the Company entered into a long-term capital lease obligation for equipment. The aggregate principal of the lease at inception was $166, with an interest rate of 4.7%, minimum monthly payments of $3 and a July 1, 2020 maturity. This capital lease is classified as a component of accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Common Stock

On August 21, 2018, the Company entered into a Controlled Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement ("ATM Agreement") with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (the “Agent”) under which the Company may issue and sell shares of its common stock, from time to time, to or through the Agent, by methods deemed to be an “at the market offering.” Shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $25,000 may be offered pursuant to a prospectus dated August 21, 2018 (the “ATM Prospectus”) under the Company’s previously filed and currently effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-218517). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company sold 1,747 shares of common stock under the ATM Agreement at an average price of $2.48 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $3,961, net of commission and issuance costs, to the Company.

Information Agent Warrants
 
In September 2017, in connection with the Rights Offering in August 2017, the Company issued warrants to purchase 200 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $1.50 per share to an information agent (the “Information Agent Warrants”). The Information Agent Warrants became exercisable immediately upon issuance. These warrants were recorded in stockholders’ equity on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
 
2015 Warrants
 
In December 2015, the Company issued warrants to purchase 2,122 shares with an exercise price of $3.74 per share (the “2015 Warrants”). The 2015 Warrants contain a put-option provision. Under this provision, while the 2015 Warrants are outstanding, if the Company enters into a Fundamental Transaction, defined as a merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the Company or any successor entity will, at the option of each warrant holder, exercisable at any time within 30 days after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase the warrant from the holder exercising such option by paying to the holder an amount of cash equal to the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of such holder’s warrant on the date of the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction. Because of this put-option provision, the 2015 Warrants are classified as a liability and are marked to market at each reporting date. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, 488 shares and 30 shares, respectively, of the 2015 warrants, were exercised.
 
The warrant liability related to the 2015 Warrants is measured at fair value at each reporting date using certain estimated inputs, which are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following assumptions were used in the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model to measure the fair value of the 2015 warrants as of September 30, 2018:

12.    Stock-based Compensation
 
In June 2018, the Company’s stockholders ratified an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which was first approved by the stockholders in December 2017, to increase the number of shares available for grant by 4,400 shares.  As of September 30, 2018, the total shares authorized for grant under the 2014 Plan was 9,114, of which 1,837 were available for future grants.

401(k) Plan Share Match
 
In August 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a match benefit to the Ekso Bionics 401(k) plan (the “401(k) Plan”) in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company made a matching contribution to the 401(k) Plan in an amount equal to 100% of each eligible employee’s elected deferral (up to the statutory limit) for the year ending December 31, 2017 and will make a matching contribution equal to 50% of each employee’s elected deferral for each year thereafter.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued 221 shares of common stock to the eligible employees’ deferral accounts for the 401(k) Plan matching contribution for the year ended December 31, 2017.
 
13.    Income Taxes

There were no material changes to the unrecognized tax benefits in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and the Company does not expect significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits through the end of the fiscal year. Because of the Company’s history of tax losses, all years remain open to tax examination.
 
14.    Commitments and Contingencies

Material Contracts
 
The Company enters various license, research collaboration and development agreements which provide for payments to the Company for government grants, fees, cost reimbursements typically with a markup, technology transfer and license fees, and royalty payments on sales.
 
The Company has two license agreements with the Regents of the University of California to maintain exclusive rights to certain patents. Pursuant to those license agreements, the Company is required to pay 1% of net sales of products sold to entities other than the U.S. government and, in the event of a sub-license, the Company will owe 21% of license fees and must pass through 1% of the sub-licensee’s net sales of products sold to entities other than the U.S. government. The agreements also stipulate minimum annual royalties of $50.
 
In connection with acquisition of Equipois, the Company assumed the rights and obligations of Equipois under a license agreement with the developer of certain intellectual property related to mechanical balance and support arm technologies, which grants the Company an exclusive license with respect to the technology and patent rights for certain fields of use. Pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, the Company pays the developer a single-digit royalty on net receipts, subject to a $50 annual minimum royalty requirement.

16.    Segment Disclosures
 
The Company has three reportable segments: Medical Devices, Industrial Sales, and Engineering Services. The Medical Devices segment designs and engineers technology for, and commercializes, manufactures, and sells exoskeletons for applications in the medical markets. The Industrial Sales segment designs, engineers, commercializes, manufactures, and sells exoskeleton devices to allow able-bodied users to perform heavy duty work for extended periods. Engineering Services generates revenue principally from collaborative research and development service arrangements, technology license agreements, and government grants where the Company uses its robotics domain knowledge in bionic exoskeletons to bid on and procure contracts and grants from entities such as the National Science Foundation and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
 
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment gross profit margin. The reportable segments are each managed separately because they serve distinct markets, and one segment provides a service and the others manufacture and distribute unique products. The Company does not consider net assets as a segment measure and, accordingly, assets are not allocated.

Overview
 
We design, develop and sell exoskeleton technology to augment human strength, endurance and mobility. Our exoskeleton technology serves multiple markets and can be used both by able-bodied users as well as by persons with physical disabilities. We have sold, rented or leased devices that (a) enable individuals with neurological conditions affecting gait (stroke and spinal cord injury) to rehabilitate and to walk again and (b) allow industrial workers to perform heavy duty work for extended periods.
 
Today, our medical exoskeleton, Ekso GT, is used as a rehabilitation tool to allow physicians and therapists to rehabilitate patients who have suffered a stroke or spinal cord injury. With its unique features designed specifically for hospitals and its proprietary SmartAssist software, Ekso GT allows for the early mobilization of patients, with high step count and high dosage treatments. The intent is to allow the patient’s central nervous system to take advantage of a person’s neuroplasticity to maximize a patient’s recovery.
 
For able-bodied industrial workers, we introduced in 2017 a second commercial product for industrial applications, the EksoVest, an upper body exoskeleton that elevates and supports a worker's arms to assist them with tasks ranging from chest height to overhead. It is lightweight and low profile, making it comfortable to wear in all conditions while enabling freedom of motion. The goal is for workplaces with the EksoVest to experience fewer on-site injuries while tasks are completed faster and with higher quality results, for workers to stay healthier and experience increased stamina, and for companies to gain greater productivity in factories and on construction sites. In 2018, we are focusing on increasing sales of the EksoVest and EksoZeroG by pursuing alternative channels such as rental agreements with construction equipment and heavy tool providers and working with automotive and related manufacturers to roll out our product(s) globally within their assembly operations. In addition, we believe there is additional mid-to-long-term potential in the industrial markets, and accordingly, we will continue our development efforts to expand our EksoWorks product offerings.
 
We believe the commercial opportunity for exoskeleton technology adoption is accelerating as a result of recent advancements in material technologies, electronic and electrical engineering, control technologies, and sensor and software development. Taken individually, many of these advancements have become ubiquitous in peoples’ everyday lives. We believe that we have learned how to integrate these existing technologies and wrap the result around a human being efficiently, elegantly and safely, supported by an industry leading intellectual property portfolio. We further believe that we can do so across a broad spectrum of applications, from persons with lower limb paralysis to able-bodied users.
 
Clinical Update
 
Our strategy continues to be to expand clinical data associated with robotic exoskeleton use and, in particular, Ekso GT. To date, there have been 90 studies announced utilizing the Ekso GT, including 54 completed studies and 36 ongoing studies, encompassing a total of over 2,000 patients. This includes our sponsored clinical trial entitled WISE (Walking Improvement for SCI with Exoskeletons) which evaluates improvement in independent gait speeds of Spinal Cord Injury (“SCI”) patients undergoing rehabilitation with the Ekso GT and compares it to both conventional therapy and a control group. The U.S.-based, multi-center study is ongoing at five rehabilitation centers and seeks to enroll approximately 50 people with chronic incomplete SCI. The primary endpoint of the WISE study seeks to demonstrate that a 12-week robotic gait training regimen can lead to a clinically meaningful improvement in independent walking speed. Secondary endpoints from the trial are examining economic factors such as number of physical therapists and staff required during training, the physical burden on physical therapists assisting and supervising during training, and the influence of factors that may modify the gait recovery.
 
We also continue to work with investigators who have independently initiated large clinical trials to study the use of the Ekso GT, including: a randomized controlled trial of 162 acute and chronic stroke patients (conducted in Italy);  a Kessler Foundation study that is enrolling acute stroke patients in a grant-funded randomized, controlled trial with the goal of demonstrating the benefits of early intervention with gait therapy using the Ekso GT; a registry headed up by the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago focusing on the clinical efficacy of the Ekso GT in both SCI and stroke survivors; and a study being conducted by the Moritz Klink entitled The MOST Study (mobility improved after stroke when a robotic device was used in comparison to physical therapy) investigating the impact of gait training with the Ekso GT on functional independence of 60 patients with impaired gait as a consequence of stroke when compared to conventional physiotherapy alone.
 
Sales and Marketing Update - Rehabilitation
 
In conjunction with our Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance in April 2016, including the first approved label in the industry that includes patients with hemiplegia due to stroke, we completed a full review of our sales and marketing efforts. We have begun to broaden the launch of our Ekso GT and our go-to-market plan in the U.S. and in Europe, including an increase in

22

Table of Contents

marketing campaigns to educate the market on the benefits of stroke rehabilitation using exoskeletons, and arranging product demonstrations with various stakeholders at our target customers.
 
Today we have six direct salespersons in the U.S., one salesperson for the Asia Pacific region, and one direct sales representative for Germany and Switzerland. Additionally, we have a distributor manager for 15 distributors in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa ("EMEA"), covering 25 markets, as well as a sales operations manager that supports the efforts of both the U.S. and the EMEA teams. This sales team is supported by 10 physical therapists to provide customer demonstrations and training, and six sales operation and customer service personnel. Over the past several quarters the Company has endeavored to better understand its customer’s decision cycle for adopting the Company’s new technology, in order to optimize the pace of placements and adoption and has piloted acquisition programs through leasing and rent to own options. Given the track record of converting previous rentals to sales, we are confident that the lease and rental programs will facilitate expansion of the Company’s rehabilitation program, while also allowing us to reduce the timeline to place our Ekso GT units.
 
Recently we launched our Centers of Excellence program in both the U.S. and Europe, a unique peer-to-peer program through which some of our key customers and thought leaders share their knowledge and experience with potential and new customers. The program spans the operational areas of clinical, sales and marketing to bring together the user experience and share it with new customers to facilitate adoption and utilization. These Centers of Excellence will work with our integrated sales and marketing teams and will be available to prospective customers/partners to discuss the clinical, business and financial merits of using the Ekso GT as a tool in rehabilitation. These Centers of Excellence complement the more than 225 hospitals and clinics that already have incorporated over 300 Ekso GT units in their rehabilitation programs.
 
We have been granted a two-year renewal for our 35 Continuing Competence Units, through the Federation of State Board of Physical Therapy (FSBPT), for physical therapists that successfully complete the Ekso GT training program. The FSBPT recognized the comprehensive overview of gait analysis, robotic technology integration into gait training, and interactive learning through guided instruction during our training program.
 
Regulatory Status
 
On April 4, 2016, we received clearance from the FDA to market our Ekso GT robotic exoskeleton for use in the treatment of individuals with hemiplegia due to stroke, individuals with spinal cord injuries at levels T4 to L5, and individuals with spinal cord injuries at levels of T3 to C7 (ASIA D), in accordance with the device’s labeling. On July 19, 2016, we received clearance from the FDA to expand/clarify the indications and labeling to expressly include individuals with hemiplegia due to stroke who have upper extremity function of at least 4/5 in only one arm. Our prior cleared indications for use statement required that individuals with hemiplegia due to stroke have upper extremity function of at least 4/5 in both arms.

The U.S. government regulates the medical device industry through various agencies, including but not limited to, the FDA, which administers the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes (Class I, II or III) based on the degree of risk the FDA determines to be associated with a device and the extent of control deemed necessary to ensure the device’s safety and effectiveness. Devices requiring fewer controls because they are deemed to pose lower risk are placed in Class I or II. Class I devices are deemed to pose the least risk and are subject only to general controls applicable to all devices, such as requirements for device labeling, premarket notification, and adherence to the FDA’s current good manufacturing practice requirements, as reflected in its Quality System Regulation. Class II devices are intermediate risk devices that are subject to general controls and may also be subject to special controls such as performance standards, product-specific guidance documents, special labeling requirements, patient registries or post-market surveillance. Class III devices are those for which insufficient information exists to assure safety and effectiveness solely through general or special controls, and include life-sustaining, life-supporting, or implantable devices, and devices not “substantially equivalent” to a device that is already legally marketed. Most Class I devices, and some Class II devices are exempted by regulation from the 510(k) clearance requirement and can be marketed without prior authorization from FDA. Class I and Class II devices that have not been so exempted are eligible for marketing through the 510(k) clearance pathway. By contrast, devices placed in Class III generally require premarket approval, or PMA, prior to commercial marketing.
 
We believe that prior to April 4, 2016, our Ekso GT robotic exoskeleton had been appropriately marketed as a Class I 510(k) exempt Powered Exercise Equipment device since February 2012. On June 26, 2014, the FDA announced the creation of a new product classification for Powered Exoskeleton devices. On October 21, 2014, the FDA published the summary for the new Powered Exoskeleton classification and designated it as being Class II, which requires the clearance of a 510(k) notice.
 
On October 21, 2014, concurrent with the FDA’s publication of the reclassification of Powered Exoskeleton devices, the FDA issued the Company an “Untitled Letter” which informed us in writing of the agency’s belief that this new product classification applied to our Ekso GT device. On December 24, 2014, we filed a 510(k) notice for the Ekso robotic exoskeleton, which was

23

accepted by the FDA for substantive review on July 29, 2015. As discussed above, we received FDA clearance to market its Ekso GT in accordance with the device’s labeling on April 4, 2016.
 
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 U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our estimates form the basis for our judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe that our critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02-Leases (ASC 842) and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance under ASU 2017-13, ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-11 (collectively, Topic 842) to supersede existing guidance on accounting for leases in ASC 840, Leases (ASC 840). Topic 842 requires us to recognize on our balance sheet a lease liability representing the present value of future lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the lessee's right to use, or control the use of a specified asset for the lease term for any operating lease with a term greater than one year. This standard is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We will adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach, under which we will initially apply the new leases standard at the beginning of the earliest period presented in our financial statements.

We are still in the process of quantifying the impact at this time, but anticipate this standard will impact our condensed consolidated balance sheets with material increases in current and non-current assets and current and non-current lease liabilities associated with our property leases representing our office locations. We do not anticipate a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, as the majority of our leases will remain operating leases for which the right-of-use assets amortization will be similar to previously required straight-line expense treatment for operating leases. The adoption of Topic 842 will not have a material impact on the financial covenants set forth in our long-term debt agreement.

Adoption of New Accounting Policy
 
Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and the additional related amendments. We adopted the new standard using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption did not result in a cumulative adjustment to our consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2018, nor did it materially impact the aggregate amount and timing of our revenue recognition subsequent to adoption. We have provided enhanced revenue recognition disclosures as required by the new standard (Refer to Note 6, Revenue Recognition in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, which appear under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

Revenue
 
Device and related revenue increased $0.9 million, or 60%, for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period of 2017. This increase was made up of a $0.4 million increase in medical device revenue and $0.5 million increase in industrial device revenue, primarily due to a higher volume of industrial device sales and medical device rentals.
 
Gross Profit
 
Gross profit increased $0.5 million, or 99%, for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period of 2017, primarily due to higher average selling price of medical devices.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Sales and marketing expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period of 2017, primarily due to a decrease in advertising and trade show activities.
 
Research and development expenses decreased $0.7 million, or 35%, for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period of 2017, primarily due to lower employment costs from lower headcount in the EksoWorks business unit.
 
General and administrative expenses increased $0.4 million, or 15%, for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period of 2017, was primarily due to $0.3 million severance expense and $0.4 million additional stock-based compensation expense from the modification of equity awards related to the departure of the Chief Financial Officer. These increases were partially offset by the decrease in expense associated with business development related activities in China, which was paid upfront in the third quarter of 2017 and fully expensed at the end of the second quarter of 2018.

Operating Expenses
 
Sales and marketing expenses increased $1.3 million, or 14%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period of 2017. This was primarily due to $0.4 million of severance costs related to the departure of the President of our EksoWorks business unit, our Chief Marketing officer and other marketing employees, a $0.3 million increase in clinical research activity, a $0.3 million increase in accrued bonus expense, and a $0.2 million charge for remaining lease obligations related to a leased sales office in Germany that was abandoned in the second quarter of 2018.
 
Research and development expenses decreased $3.0 million, or 40%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period of 2017, primarily due to lower employment costs as a result of the company-wide reduction in workforce in May 2017 and departure of certain EksoWorks employees in the first quarter of 2018.
 
General and administrative expenses increased $1.9 million, or 26%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period of 2017. This was primarily due to severance of $0.7 million and additional stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million from the modification of equity awards related to the departure of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, a $0.4 million increase in accrued bonus expense and a $0.5 million increase in expense associated with business development related activities in China, which was paid upfront in the third quarter of 2017. The increases were partially offset by lower employment costs as a result of the company-wide reduction in workforce in May 2017.
 
Restructuring expense of $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 includes employee severance payments of $0.4 million, stock compensation expense of $0.2 million related to restricted stock units issued to terminated employees, and $0.1 million of other severance related benefits. There was no comparable amount in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
 
Change in fair value, contingent liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, included changes of fair value of the contingent liabilities related to Equipois sales earnouts and a success fee related to the outstanding debt with our lender.
 
Other Income (Expense), Net
 
Loss on warrant liability of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was associated with the revaluation of warrants issued in 2015, compared to a $4.9 million gain from the revaluation of warrants issued in 2015 and April 2017 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The gains and losses on the revaluation of warrants were primarily driven by changes in our stock price.
 
Other income, net decreased $0.6 million or 254% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period of 2017, due to unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency revaluations of monetary assets and liabilities.
  
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resource
 
Since the Company’s inception, it has devoted substantially all its efforts toward the development of exoskeletons for the medical and industrial markets, toward the commercialization of medical exoskeletons to rehabilitation centers and toward raising capital. Accordingly, the Company is in the early commercialization stage. The Company has financed its operations primarily through the issuance and sale of equity securities for cash consideration and convertible and promissory notes, as well as from government research grant awards and strategic collaboration payments.
 
Cash and Working Capital
 
Cash on hand at September 30, 2018 was $13.0 million compared to $27.8 million at December 31, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company used $17.0 million of cash in operations compared to $25.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of September 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $167.0 million.  Largely as a result of significant research and development activities related to the development of the Company’s advanced technology and commercialization of this technology into its medical device business, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. In the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company used $17.0 million of cash in its operations.
  
Cash on hand at September 30, 2018 was $13.0 million, compared to $27.8 million at December 31, 2017. As noted in Note 9 in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements under the caption Long-Term Debt, borrowings under our long-term

Table of Contents

debt agreement have a requirement of minimum cash on hand roughly equivalent to three months of cash burn. As of September 30, 2018, the most recent determination of this restriction, $6.4 million of cash must remain as unrestricted, with such amounts to be re-computed at each month end period. After considering cash restrictions, effective unrestricted cash as of September 30, 2018 is estimated to be $6.6 million. Based on current forecasted amounts, our cash on hand will not be sufficient to satisfy our operations for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Based upon the Company’s current cash resources, the recent rate of using cash for operations and investment, and assuming modest increases in current revenue offset by incremental increases in expenses related to increased sales and marketing, the Company believes it has sufficient resources to meet its financial obligations into the first quarter of 2019. The Company will require significant additional financing. The Company’s actual capital requirements may vary significantly and will depend on many factors. The Company plans to continue its investments (i) in its clinical and sales initiatives to accelerate adoption of the Ekso robotic exoskeleton in the rehabilitation market, (ii) in its research, development and commercialization activities with respect to an Ekso robotic exoskeleton for rehabilitation, and/or (iii) in the development and commercialization of able-bodied exoskeletons for industrial use.

The Company is actively pursuing opportunities to obtain additional financing in the future through public or private equity and/or debt financings, corporate collaborations, or warrant solicitations. Sales of additional equity securities by the Company could result in the dilution of the interests of existing stockholders. There can be no assurance that financing will be available when required in sufficient amounts, on acceptable terms or at all. In the event that the necessary additional financing is not obtained, the Company may be required to further reduce its discretionary overhead costs substantially, including research and development, general and administrative, and sales and marketing expenses or otherwise curtail operations.

Net cash used in operations decreased $8.6 million, or 34%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period of 2017 primarily due to decreased employment costs as a result of the company-wide reduction in workforce in May 2017 and an increase in cash collections related to an increase in sales.
 
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period of 2017 primarily due to the absence of capitalizable implementation cost associated with our new enterprise resource planning system which was implemented in October 2017.
