Description of Business

 

Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) designs, develops, and markets exoskeleton products that augment human strength, endurance and mobility. The primary end market for our exoskeleton technology is healthcare, where our technology primarily serves people with physical disabilities or impairments in both physical rehabilitation and mobility. The Company has marketed devices that (i) enable individuals with neurological conditions affecting gait, including acquired brain injury ("ABI") and multiple sclerosis ("MS"), and spinal cord injury ("SCI") to rehabilitate and to stand and walk in neurorehabilitation settings and, for patients with a SCI, for home and community use, (ii) assist individuals with a broad range of upper extremity impairments, and (iii) allow industrial workers to perform difficult repetitive work for extended periods. Founded in 2005, the Company is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay area and listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “EKSO”.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar and share amounts included in these notes to the consolidated financial statements are in thousands.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $250,475. Largely as a result of significant research and development activities related to the development of the Company’s advanced technology and commercialization of such technology into its medical device business, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company used $9,846 of cash in its operations. Cash on hand as of  December 31, 2024 was $ 6,493.

 

As described in Note 9. Notes Payable, net, borrowings under the Company’s secured term loan agreement with Banc of California are subject to a liquidity covenant requiring minimum cash on hand equivalent to the current outstanding principal balance, which is due in full in August 2026. As of December 31, 2024, $2,000 of cash must remain as restricted. After considering cash restrictions, effective unrestricted cash as of  December 31, 2024 was approximately $4,493.

 

Our expectation to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows in the future and the need for additional funding to support our planned operations raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. Management intends to raise funds through one or more financings. However, due to several factors, including those outside management’s control, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete such financings on acceptable terms or in amounts sufficient to continue operating the business under the operating plan. If we are unable to complete sufficient additional financings, management’s plans include delaying or abandoning certain product development projects, cost reduction efforts for our products, and refocused sales efforts to accelerate revenue growth above historical results. We have concluded the likelihood that our plan to successfully reduce expenses to align with our available cash, while reasonably possible, is less than probable. Accordingly, we have concluded that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. 

 

The accompanying consolidated 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 consolidated 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.
