| Organization | 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 and leased devices that (i) enable individuals with neurological conditions affecting gait (stroke and spinal cord injury) to rehabilitate and to walk again, (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”.
All common stock share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the one-for-fifteen reverse stock split effected on March 24, 2020. See Note 11, Capitalization and Equity Structure – Reverse Stock Split.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of March 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $185,812. 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. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company used $1,722 of cash in its operations.
Cash on hand as of March 31, 2020 was $8,516, compared to $10,872 as of December 31, 2019. As noted in Note 9, Note payable, net, borrowings under the Company’s term loan agreement have a requirement of minimum cash on hand equivalent to three months of cash burn. As of March 31, 2020, the most recent determination date of this restriction, $3,565 of cash must remain as restricted, with such amounts to be re-computed at each month end period. After considering cash restrictions, effective unrestricted cash as of March 31, 2020 is estimated to be $4,951. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to its term loan agreement, which reduces the minimum liquidity covenant to the current outstanding principal balance. Refer to Note 17. Subsequent events. 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.
As previously disclosed, on September 16, 2019, the Company received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market was below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, the Company does not meet the minimum closing bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. On March 24, 2020, the Company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of the Company's common stock in order to raise the per share trading price of its common stock above $1.00 and regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. On April 7, 2020, the Company regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement required by the Nasdaq listing rules.
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, the Company believes that it has sufficient resources to operate in compliance with its debt covenants until the end of the fourth quarter of 2020. While 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 in its (i) sales initiatives to accelerate adoption of the Ekso robotic exoskeleton in the rehabilitation market, (ii) research, development and commercialization activities with respect to exoskeletons for rehabilitation, and (iii) development and commercialization of able-bodied exoskeletons for industrial use.
The Company is actively pursuing opportunities to obtain additional financing through public or private equity and/or debt financings and corporate collaborations. 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.
