Description of Business
 
Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading developer of exoskeleton solutions that amplify human potential by supporting or enhancing strength, endurance and mobility across medical, industrial and defense applications. Founded in 2005, the Company continues to build upon its unparalleled expertise to design some of the most cutting-edge, innovative wearable robots available on the market. Ekso Bionics is the only exoskeleton company to offer technologies that range from helping those with paralysis to stand up and walk, to enhancing human capabilities on job sites across the globe, to providing research for the advancement of R&D projects intended to benefit U.S. defense capabilities. The Company is headquartered in the Bay Area and is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “EKSO”.
 
All common stock share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the one-for-seven reverse stock split completed on May 4, 2016. See Note 12, Capitalization and Equity Structure – Reverse Stock Split.
 
Liquidity and Going Concern
 
As of December 31, 2016, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $114,861 and cash on hand of $16,846.  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. The Company has also recognized significant non-cash losses in previous periods associated with the revaluation of certain securities, which have contributed significantly to its accumulated deficit. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company used $25,582 of cash in its operations.
 
In 2017, management has taken several actions to alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern that existed as of the date of issuance of the December 31, 2016 consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to, the following:
 
·
streamlining its operations and reducing its workforce by approximately 27 employees to lower operating expenses and reduce cash burn;  
 
·
conducting a registered direct offering of 3,732 shares of its common stock for net proceeds of $10,919; and
 
·
conducting a rights offering, which resulted in the issuance of an aggregate of 13,465 shares of its common stock for net proceeds of $13,179 and concurrently selling 20,535 shares of its common stock to the backstop investor in a private placement for proceeds of $20,535.
 
With cash on hand of $33,439 as of September 30, 2017, the Company believes that it currently has sufficient cash to fund its operations beyond the look forward period of one year from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
  
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, sales and marketing 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 home use, and/or (iii) in the development and commercialization of able-bodied exoskeletons for industrial use. Consequently, the Company may require significant additional financing in the future, which the Company intends to raise through corporate collaborations, public or private equity offerings, debt financings, or warrant solicitations. Sales of additional equity securities by us 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.
