SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report contains “forward-looking statements” as defined under the United States federal securities laws. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the section of this Quarterly Report entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:
•the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken or that may be taken by federal, state and local governmental authorities to combat the spread of the disease;
•domestic and global geopolitical conditions and the impact of global and domestic economic conditions, including inflationary pressures and changes in the cost or availability of materials, supply chain shortages and disruptions, and the availability of labor, particularly in light of current labor market conditions;
•future revenue from sales of ClearPoint system products and services;
•the ability of our biologics and drug delivery customers, or partners, to achieve commercial success, including their use of our products and services in their delivery of therapies; and
•our ability to market, commercialize and achieve broader market acceptance for our ClearPoint system products.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report, we caution you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by us and our projections of the future, about which we cannot be certain.
You should refer to the section titled “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which we filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 9, 2022 (the “2021 Form 10-K”) and in this Quarterly Report, for a discussion of important factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. We do not undertake to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.

1. | | Description of the Business and Financial Condition |
ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. (the “Company”) is a commercial-stage medical device company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative platforms for performing minimally invasive surgical procedures in the brain. From the Company’s inception in 1998, the Company deployed significant resources to fund its efforts to develop the foundational capabilities for enabling MRI-guided interventions, building an intellectual property portfolio, and identifying and building out commercial applications for the technologies it develops. In 2021, the Company’s efforts expanded beyond the MRI suite to encompass development and commercialization of new neurosurgical device products for the operating room setting, as well as consulting services for pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic institutions, and contract research organizations.
The Company’s initial product offering, the ClearPoint system, is an integrated system comprised of capital equipment and disposable products, designed to allow minimally invasive procedures in the brain to be performed in an MRI suite. The ClearPoint Array Neuro Navigation System and its principal disposable component, introduced in 2021, is designed to be deployed in an operating room setting while also being usable in an MRI suite. Both systems provide guidance for the placement and operation of instruments or devices during the planning and operation of neurosurgical procedures. The Company received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in 2010 to market the ClearPoint system in the United States for general neurosurgical interventional procedures; in February 2011, the Company also obtained CE marking approval for its ClearPoint system. In 2011 and 2018, the Company received 510(k) clearance and CE marking approval, respectively, for its SmartFlow cannula which is being used, or is under evaluation, by more than 45 pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic institutions, or contract research organizations having a focus on biologics and drug delivery.
COVID-19
The extraordinary measures taken beginning in 2020 by governmental authorities in response to the novel strain of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic led to reduced economic activity, including the postponement or cancellation of elective surgical procedures. Although economic activity is returning to normalized levels, new variants of COVID-19 continue to spread in the United States and across the globe.
Furthermore, recessionary conditions on the global economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. Although most segments of the United States economy have reopened, future surges of COVID-19 due to new variants could occur in the future, and directives, such as the postponement or cancellation of elective surgeries, which historically have represented approximately 80% of the number of surgical procedures using the Company’s ClearPoint system, could be reinstated. Additionally, global economic and supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and inflationary conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical instability could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. The rapid development and fluidity of the situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact COVID-19 will have on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows, which will depend largely on future developments, including vaccination rates, the effectiveness of vaccines, the response by governmental authorities and regulators and the duration and scope of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States.
Liquidity
The Company has incurred net losses since its inception, which has resulted in a cumulative deficit at June 30, 2022 of $142.2 million. In addition, the Company’s use of cash from operations amounted to $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Since its inception, the Company has financed its operations principally from the sale of equity securities and the issuance of notes payable.
In January 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with two investors (each, a “2020 Convertible Noteholder,” and together, the “2020 Convertible Noteholders”) under which the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $17.5 million of floating rate secured convertible notes with a five-year term (the
ClearPoint Neuro, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
“First Closing Notes”), resulting in proceeds, net of financing costs and a commitment fee paid to one of the 2020 Convertible Noteholders, of approximately $16.8 million.
The SPA also gave the Company the right, but not the obligation, to request one of the 2020 Convertible Noteholders to purchase an additional $5.0 million in principal amount of a note (the “Second Closing Note”, and, together with the First Closing Notes, the “2020 Secured Notes”). On December 29, 2020, under the terms of an amendment to the SPA (the “Amendment”) which, among other provisions, increased the principal amount of the Second Closing Note, the Company issued the Second Closing Note in the principal amount of $7.5 million to one of the 2020 Convertible Noteholders.
See Note 6 for additional information with respect to the 2020 Secured Notes.
As discussed in Note 8, on February 23, 2021, the Company completed a public offering of 2,127,660 shares of its common stock. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $46.8 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
Based on the foregoing, in management’s opinion, cash and cash equivalent balances and short-term investments at June 30, 2022 are sufficient to support the Company’s operations and meet its obligations for at least the next twelve months.

2. | | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the Company’s December 31, 2021 audited consolidated financial statements, and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the information set forth therein. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with SEC rules for interim financial information, and, therefore, omit certain information and footnote disclosures necessary to present such statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year or any future periods.
Inventory
Inventory is carried at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Items in inventory relate predominantly to the Company’s ClearPoint system. Software license inventory related to ClearPoint systems undergoing on-site customer evaluation is included in inventory in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. All other software license inventory is classified as a non-current asset. The Company periodically reviews its inventory for obsolete items and provides a reserve upon identification of potentially obsolete items.
Intangible Assets
The Company is a party to certain license agreements that provide rights to the Company for the development and commercialization of products. Under the terms of those license agreements, the Company made payments to the licensors upon execution of the license agreements for access to the underlying technologies and will make future payments based on the achievement of regulatory and commercialization milestones as defined in the license agreements.
ClearPoint Neuro, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
In conformity with Accounting Standards Codification Section 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other,” the Company amortizes its investment in the license rights described above over an expected useful life of five years. In addition, the Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of its investment in the license rights and records an impairment charge in the event such evaluation indicates that the Company’s investment is not likely to be recovered.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is comprised primarily of: (1) product revenue resulting from the sale of functional neurosurgery, navigation, therapy, and biologics and drug delivery disposable products; (2) product revenue resulting from the sale of ClearPoint capital equipment and software; (3) revenue resulting from the service, installation, training and shipping related to ClearPoint capital equipment and software; and (4) consultation revenue and clinical case support revenue in connection with customer-sponsored clinical trials. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the Company’s products and services is transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive from its customers in exchange for those products and services, in a process that involves identifying the contract with a customer, determining the performance obligations in the contract, determining the contract price, allocating the contract price to the distinct performance obligations in the contract, and recognizing revenue when the performance obligations have been satisfied. A performance obligation is considered distinct from other obligations in a contract when it provides a benefit to the customer either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and is separately identified in the contract. When a contract calls for the satisfaction of multiple performance obligations for a single contract price, the Company allocates the contract price among the performance obligations based on the relative stand-alone prices for each such performance obligation customarily charged by the Company. The Company considers a performance obligation satisfied once it has transferred control of a good or service to the customer, meaning the customer has the ability to use and obtain the benefit of the good or service. The Company recognizes revenue for satisfied performance obligations only when it determines there are no uncertainties regarding payment terms or transfer of control.
Lines of Business; Timing of Revenue Recognition
•Functional neurosurgery navigation product, biologics and drug delivery systems product, and therapy product sales: Revenue from the sale of functional neurosurgery navigation products (consisting of disposable products sold commercially and related to cases utilizing the Company’s ClearPoint system), biologics and drug delivery systems products (consisting primarily of disposable products related to customer-sponsored clinical trials utilizing the ClearPoint system), and therapy products (consisting primarily of disposable laser-related products used in non-neurosurgical procedures), is generally based on customer purchase orders, the predominance of which require delivery within one week of the order having been placed, and are generally recognized at the point in time of shipping to the customer, which is the point at which legal title, and risks and rewards of ownership, transfer to the customer. For certain customers, legal title and risks and rewards of ownership transfer upon delivery to the customer as stated in their respective contracts, in which case revenue is recognized upon delivery.
•Capital equipment and software sales
◦Capital equipment and software sales preceded by evaluation periods: The predominance of capital equipment and software sales (consisting of integrated computer hardware and software that are integral components of the Company’s ClearPoint system) are preceded by customer evaluation periods. During these evaluation periods, installation of, and training of customer personnel on, the systems have been completed and the systems have been in operation. Accordingly, revenue from capital equipment and software sales following such evaluation periods is recognized at the point in time the Company is in receipt of an executed purchase agreement or purchase order.
◦Capital equipment and software sales not preceded by evaluation periods: Revenue from sales of capital equipment and software not preceded by an evaluation period is recognized upon delivery to the customer and installation. For capital equipment that does not require installation, revenue is recognized upon shipment, however, for those customers where legal title and risks and rewards of ownership transfer upon delivery, revenue is recognized at such time.
ClearPoint Neuro, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
For both types of capital equipment and software sales described above, the Company’s determination of the point in time at which to recognize revenue represents that point at which the customer has legal title, physical possession, and the risks and rewards of ownership, and the Company has a present right to payment.
•Functional neurosurgery navigation and therapy services: The Company recognizes revenue for such services at the point in time that the performance obligation has been satisfied.
•Biologics and drug delivery services:
◦Consultation Services: The Company recognizes consultation revenue at the point in time such services are performed.
◦Clinical Service Access Fees: For contracts in which the Company receives a periodic fixed fee, irrespective of the number of cases attended by Company personnel or hours of services provided to the customer during such periods, revenue is recognized ratably over the period covered by such fees. A time-elapsed output method is used for such fees because the Company transfers control evenly by providing a stand-ready service.
◦Clinical Service Procedure-Based Fees: The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time a case is attended by Company personnel.
•Capital equipment-related services:
◦Equipment service: Revenue from service of ClearPoint capital equipment and software previously sold to customers is based on agreements with terms ranging from one to three years and is recognized ratably on a monthly basis over the term of the service agreement. A time-elapsed output method is used for service revenue because the Company transfers control evenly by providing a stand-ready service.
The Company may also enter into contracts with customers who own ClearPoint capital equipment, which bundle maintenance and support services and access to software and hardware upgrades made commercially available over the term of the contract, for a single contract price, typically paid on an annual basis. The Company allocates the contract price among the performance obligations based on the relative stand-alone prices for each such performance obligation and recognizes the revenue ratably on a monthly basis. In line with equipment service, a time-elapsed output method is used as the Company is providing a stand-ready service.
◦Installation, training and shipping: Consistent with the Company’s recognition of revenue for capital equipment and software sales as described above, fees for installation, training and shipping in connection with sales of capital equipment and software that have been preceded by customer evaluation periods are recognized as revenue at the point in time the Company is in receipt of an executed purchase order for the equipment and software. Installation, training and shipping fees related to capital equipment and software sales not having been preceded by an evaluation period are recognized as revenue concurrent with the recognition of revenue of the related capital equipment.
The Company operates in one industry segment, and the predominance of its sales are to U.S.-based customers.
Payment terms under contracts with customers generally are in a range of 30-60 days after the customers’ receipt of the Company’s invoices.
The Company’s terms and conditions do not provide for a right of return unless for: (a) product defects; or (b) other conditions subject to the Company’s approval.
See Note 3 for additional information regarding revenue recognition.

Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted net loss per share are the same because the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock equivalents, which comprise the entire amount of the Company’s outstanding common stock options and warrants, as described in Note 8, and the potential conversion of the First Closing Note, as described in Note 6, would be anti-dilutive, due to the reporting of a net loss for each of the periods in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Concentration Risks and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company may at times invest its excess cash in interest bearing accounts and U.S. Treasury Bills. It classifies all highly liquid investments with original stated maturities of three months or less from date of purchase as cash equivalents and all highly liquid investments with stated maturities of greater than three months but less than twelve months as short term investments. The Company classifies the U.S. Treasury Bills as held-to-maturity in accordance with ASC 320, "Investments - Debt and Equity Securities." Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity and are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, adjusted for the accretion of discounts using the interest method.
The Company holds the remainder of its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the U.S. insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $12.4 million in bank balances that were in excess of the insured limits.
At June 30, 2022, there were two customers whose accounts receivable balances represented 18% and 11% of accounts receivable at that date. At December 31, 2021, one customer accounted for 15% of accounts receivable at that date.
One pharmaceutical customer, a related party who is a stockholder, a noteholder, and who has a representative on the Company's Board of Directors (see Note 6), for whom the Company provides hardware, software, clinical services and market development services in support of the customer's clinical trials, and from whom the Company earns a quarterly fee, accounted for 14% and 21% of total sales in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 16% and 19% of total sales in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. There was an additional customer who comprised 11% of total sales in the three-month period ended June 30, 2022.
Prior to granting credit, the Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition, and generally does not require collateral from its customers. The Company will provide an allowance for doubtful accounts when collections become doubtful. The allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
The Company is subject to risks common to emerging companies in the medical device industry, including, but not limited to: new technological innovations; acceptance and competitiveness of its products; dependence on key personnel; dependence on key suppliers; dependence on third-party collaboration, license and joint development partners; changes in general economic conditions and interest rates; protection of proprietary technology; compliance with changing government regulations; uncertainty of widespread market acceptance of products; access to credit for capital purchases by customers; and product liability claims. Certain components used in manufacturing have relatively few alternative sources of supply and establishing additional or replacement suppliers for such components cannot be accomplished quickly. The inability of any of these suppliers to fulfill the Company’s supply requirements may negatively impact future operating results.
Adoption of New Accounting Standard
Effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted, on a modified retrospective method of transition, the provisions of Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) – Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (the “ASU”). The ASU is effective for public companies, other

(Unaudited)
than smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and for smaller reporting companies, which is the Company’s current classification, for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2023. However, the ASU permits early adoption no earlier than for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2020, and the Company elected such early adoption. The ASU amends prior authoritative literature to reduce the number of accounting models for, among others, convertible debt instruments for which the embedded conversion features of such instruments had previously been required to be separated from the host contract. The Company determined that the conversion feature embedded in the Second Closing Note (see Note 6) was within the scope of the ASU. Accordingly, the discount originally recorded in connection with the issuance of the Second Closing Note and a corresponding amount recorded in additional paid-in capital, each in the amount of approximately $3.1 million at the date of issuance of the Second Closing Note, were reversed as of the date of adoption of the ASU.
Reclassifications
The accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 contains certain items formerly classified as sales and marketing expenses and research and development expenses that have been reclassified to cost of revenue. The accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 have been conformed to the 2022 presentation.

Contract Balances
•Contract assets – Substantially all the Company’s contracts with customers are based on customer-issued purchase orders for distinct products or services. Customers are billed generally upon shipment of such products or delivery of such services, and the related contract assets comprise the accounts receivable balances included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
•Contract liabilities – The Company generally bills and collects capital equipment and software-related service fees at the inception of the service agreements, which have terms ranging from one to three years. The Company may also enter into agreements with customers that bundle the capital equipment and software-related service fees with software and hardware upgrades that are made commercially available over the term of the contract. The unearned portion of all such fees is classified as deferred revenue.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized capital equipment and software-related service revenue of approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, which was previously included in deferred revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021.
Revenue with respect to remaining performance obligations related to capital equipment and software-related service agreements and the upfront payments discussed under the heading "Contract Balances" above amounted to approximately $0.8 million at June 30, 2022. The Company expects to recognize approximately 53% of this revenue over the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter.
Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents of $23.5 million and $54.1 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, is derived using Level 1 inputs. The cash equivalents are comprised of short-term bank deposits,

money market funds, and U.S. Treasury bills with original maturities of three months or less, and the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
At June 30, 2022, the Company had $21.6 million of short-term investments, consisting of six and twelve month U.S. Treasury Bills, which are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost, adjusted for the accretion of discounts using the interest method. The carrying value of the debt securities approximates fair value based on Level 1 inputs. The Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments to maturity in order to collect interest payments over the life of the investments.
Inventory consists of the following as of June 30, 2022 and 2021:

As a result of the transactions described below, an aggregate principal amount of $10 million of the 2020 Secured Convertible Notes was outstanding at June 30, 2022. At the option of the holder, who is a customer and has a representative on the Company's Board of Directors, at any time prior to maturity, the principal amount may be convertible to the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $6.00, subject to adjustments as set forth in the SPA and the note agreement.
On January 29, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed a financing transaction (the “2020 Financing Transaction”) with two investors (the "2020 Convertible Noteholders"), whereby the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $17.5 million of First Closing Notes pursuant to the SPA, which, unless earlier converted or redeemed, mature on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date and bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (a) the three (3)-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and (b) two percent (2%), plus (ii) a margin of 2% on the outstanding balance of the First Closing Notes, payable quarterly on the first business day of each calendar quarter. The First Closing Notes may be converted at a price of $6.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the SPA, and may not be pre-paid without the consent of the noteholder, provided that the Company must offer to pre-pay such other noteholder on the same terms and conditions.
In May 2021, one of the 2020 Convertible Noteholders (the “Converting Noteholder”) converted the entire $7.5 million principal amount of such Converting Noteholder’s First Closing Note, and related accrued interest, amounting to approximately $0.04 million, into 1,256,143 shares of the Company’s common stock.
At the Closing Date, the SPA gave the Company the right, but not the obligation, to request at any time on or prior to January 11, 2022, that one of the 2020 Convertible Noteholders purchase an additional $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Second Closing Note and an additional $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Third Closing Note (as defined in the SPA; together, with the Second Closing Note, the “Additional Convertible Notes”), provided that such 2020 Convertible Noteholder has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such notes. The Additional Convertible Notes would also mature on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date.
On December 29, 2020, the Company and the 2020 Convertible Noteholders entered into the Amendment to the SPA, the terms of which, among other provisions, provided for: (a) an increase in the principal amount of the Second
ClearPoint Neuro, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Closing Note to $7.5 million; (b) a revision of the interest rate to be borne by the Second Closing Note to consist of: (i) cash interest of 2% per annum, payable quarterly; and (ii) payment-in-kind interest of 5% per annum, accruable quarterly as an addition to the unpaid principal balance of the Second Closing Note; and (c) an increase in the conversion price of the Second Closing Notes to $10.14 per share, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the SPA. Upon execution of the Amendment, the Company issued the Second Closing Note to one of the 2020 Convertible Noteholders.
On November 3, 2021, the holder of the Second Closing Note converted the entire $7.5 million principal amount of such note, along with related accrued and payment in-kind interest aggregating $0.3 million, into 773,446 shares of the Company's common stock.
The aggregate carrying amounts of the First Closing Notes in the accompanying June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheets are presented net of financing costs, comprised of commissions and legal expenses, having an unamortized balance of $0.1 million and $0.2 million at those respective dates. Prior to the conversion of the First Closing Note, the aggregate carrying amount was presented net of a discount, comprised of a commitment fee paid to the Converting Noteholder, amounting to $0.2 million. Upon conversion of the related note, the discount was reversed, with a corresponding amount being recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. The unamortized balances of the financing costs and the discount, during the period prior to the conversion of the related First Closing Note, were charged to interest expense over the respective terms of the First Closing Notes under the effective interest method.
Upon issuance of the Second Closing Note, the carrying amount was presented net of a discount, amounting to approximately $3.1 million, which represented the value of the deemed beneficial conversion feature embedded in the Second Closing Note. A conversion feature is deemed to be beneficial when the conversion price, discussed above, is lower than the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock, which was $14.34 on the date of issuance of the Second Closing Note. As discussed in Note 2, effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2020-06 which no longer required such beneficial conversion features to be separately accounted for, and as a result, the accompanying December 31, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the elimination of both the discount and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital.
Under the terms of the SPA, as amended, the Company had the right, but not the obligation, to request a 2020 Convertible Noteholder to purchase the Third Closing Note, and the 2020 Convertible Noteholder had the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such note. As of January 11, 2022, the Company's right expired.
The 2020 Secured Notes are secured by all the assets of the Company.
An executive officer of one of the 2020 Convertible Noteholders is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that are based upon current expectations and involve risks, assumptions and uncertainties. You should review the section titled “Risk Factors” appearing in our 2021 Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1.A of this Quarterly Report for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements described in the following discussion and analysis. In addition, historical results and trends that might appear in this Quarterly Report should not be interpreted as being indicative of future operations.
Overview
We are a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and commercializes innovative platforms for performing minimally invasive surgical procedures in the brain. We have deployed significant resources to fund our efforts to develop the foundational capabilities for enabling MRI-guided interventions, building an intellectual property portfolio, and identifying and building out commercial applications for the technologies developed by our company. In 2021, our efforts expanded beyond the MRI suite to encompass development and commercialization of new neurosurgical device products for the operating room, as well as consulting services for pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic institutions, and contract research organizations.
Since 2020, we have evolved to become a company comprised of two parts. The first foundational part is a medical device company providing medical devices for neurosurgery applications. The second part is focused on collaborating with pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic institutions, and contract research organizations to develop delivery methodologies for neurological drugs. Currently, there are more than 45 such entities who are either evaluating or using our SmartFlow cannula and, in certain cases, in conjunction with our full ClearPoint Neuro Navigation platform.
In 2010, we received regulatory clearance from the FDA to market our ClearPoint system in the U.S. for general neurosurgery procedures. In 2011, we also obtained CE marking approval for our ClearPoint system, which enables us to sell our ClearPoint system in the European Union. Substantially all our product revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 relates to sales of our ClearPoint system products and related services. We have financed our operations and internal growth primarily through the sale of equity securities and the issuance of convertible and other secured notes. We have incurred significant losses since our inception in 1998 as we have devoted substantial efforts to research and development. As of June 30, 2022, we had accumulated losses of $142.2 million. We may continue to incur operating losses as we expand our ClearPoint system platform and our business generally.
Factors Which May Influence Future Results of Operations
The following is a description of factors that may influence our future results of operations, and that we believe are important to an understanding of our business and results of operations.
COVID-19
The extraordinary measures taken beginning in 2020 by governmental authorities in response to the novel strain of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic led to reduced economic activity, including the postponement or cancellation of elective surgical procedures. Although economic activity is returning to normalized levels, new variants of COVID-19 continue to spread in the United States and across the globe.
Furthermore, the recessionary conditions on the global economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business. Although most segments of the United States economy have reopened, future surges of COVID-19 due to new variants could occur in the future, and directives, such as the postponement or cancellation of elective surgeries, which historically have represented approximately 80% of the number of surgical procedures using our ClearPoint system, could be reinstated. Additionally, global economic and supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and inflationary conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical instability could have a material adverse effect on our business. The rapid development and fluidity of the situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact COVID-19 will have on our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows, which will depend largely on
future developments, including vaccination rates, the effectiveness of vaccines, the response by governmental authorities and regulators, and the duration and scope of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States.
Key Performance Indicators
The key performance indicators we utilize to monitor our progress against our strategic plan are:
•Functional neurosurgery navigation
◦Number of “Active Surgery Centers” – For purposes of analyzing this performance indicator, an Active Surgery Center is a hospital or customer-sponsored contract research organization that has purchased products from us or has performed procedures utilizing our ClearPoint system within a rolling 24-month period, and includes hospital sites having purchased the ClearPoint system, as well as sites in which the ClearPoint system is being used on an evaluation basis. The justification for including “evaluation sites” is that our disposable neurosurgery product is sold to such hospitals for their use in cases. In addition to signifying growth, the number of Active Surgery Centers, when analyzed in conjunction with case volume data, further informs targeted sales and marketing activities and confirms where these activities have led to increased penetration of our product lines. As of June 30, 2022, the ClearPoint system was used in approximately 60 Active Surgery Centers, which is comparable to the number of such centers of the same date in 2021.
•Biologics and drug delivery
◦Number of “Partners” – Underlying the revenue from sales of products and services to our biologics and drug delivery customers is the number of direct customers and end users of our products and/or services (“Partners”). Our Partners consist of pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic institutions, or customer-sponsored contract research organizations that are developing methods to deliver a wide variety of molecules, genes or proteins to targeted brain tissue or structures that would need to bypass the blood-brain barrier for the treatment of a variety of disorders. This is a novel area in which commercialization must be preceded by FDA-mandated clinical trials, which are expensive and time consuming to conduct, and for which the commercial success is uncertain, pending, in part, the outcome of those trials. While our revenue from sales of products and services to our biologics and drug delivery customers is indicative of growth, the number of Partner relationships is also of importance as we recognize the possibility that some Partners’ research will reach commercial success, and others may not. To the extent our Partners achieve commercial success, our expectation is that we will share in such success through our Partners’ use of our products and services in their delivery of therapies. At June 30, 2022, we had more than 45 Partners, as compared with approximately 35 Partners as of the same date in 2021.
Revenue
In 2010, we received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market our ClearPoint system in the U.S. for general neurosurgery procedures; in February 2011 and May 2018, we also obtained CE marketing approval for our ClearPoint system and SmartFlow cannula, respectively; and in June 2020 we obtained CE marking approval for version 2.0 of our ClearPoint software and our Inflexion head fixation frame. In January 2021, we received 510(k) clearance for the SmartFrame Array Neuro Navigation System. Future revenue from sales of our ClearPoint platform products and services is difficult to predict and may not be sufficient to offset our continuing research and development expenses and our increasing selling, general and administrative expenses.
Generating recurring revenue from the sale of products is an important part of our business model for our ClearPoint system. Our product revenue was approximately $3.5 million and $6.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and was almost entirely related to our ClearPoint system. Our service revenue was approximately $1.7 million and $3.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, of which 68% and 69%, respectively, related to the biologics and drug delivery service line.
Our revenue recognition policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included above in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes the direct costs associated with the assembly and purchase of components for functional neurosurgery navigation products, biologics and drug delivery products, non-neurosurgery therapy products, and ClearPoint capital equipment and software which we have sold, and for which we have recognized the revenue in accordance with our revenue recognition policy, as well as labor hours for the cost of providing consulting and service revenue. Cost of revenue also includes the allocation of manufacturing overhead costs and depreciation of loaned systems installed under our ClearPoint placement program, as well as provisions for obsolete, impaired, or excess inventory.
Research and Development Costs
Our research and development costs consist primarily of costs associated with the conceptualization, design, testing, and prototyping of our ClearPoint system products and enhancements. Such costs include salaries, travel, and benefits for research and development personnel; materials and laboratory supplies in research and development activities; outside consultant costs; and licensing costs related to technology not yet commercialized. We anticipate that, over time, our research and development costs may increase as we: (i) continue to develop enhancements to our ClearPoint system and SmartFlow cannula; and (ii) seek to expand the application of our technological platforms. From our inception through June 30, 2022, we have incurred approximately $75 million in research and development expenses.
Product development timelines, likelihood of success, and total costs can vary widely by product candidate. There are also risks inherent in the regulatory clearance and approval process. At this time, we are unable to estimate with any certainty the costs that we will incur in our efforts to expand the application of our technological platforms.
Sales and Marketing, and General and Administrative Expenses
Our sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, incentive-based compensation, travel and benefits, including share-based compensation; marketing costs; professional fees, including fees for outside attorneys and accountants; occupancy costs; insurance; and other general and administrative expenses, which include, but are not limited to, corporate licenses, director fees, hiring costs, taxes, postage, office supplies, information technology and meeting costs. Our sales and marketing expenses are expected to increase due to costs associated with the continued commercialization of our ClearPoint system and the increased headcount necessary to support growth in operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Revenue. Total revenue was $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, which represents an increase of $1.8 million, or 52%.
Functional neurosurgery navigation and therapy revenue, which primarily consists of disposable product commercial sales related to cases utilizing the ClearPoint system, increased 17% to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $1.9 million for the same period in 2021. This increase reflects $0.4 million of service revenue related to development services during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to no service revenue for the same period in 2021, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in product revenue. There were no increases in functional neurosurgery product prices during the period between the three months ended June 30, 2022 and the same period in 2021 that would be reasonably expected to affect a typical customer order.
Biologics and drug delivery revenue, which includes sales of disposable products and services related to customer-sponsored clinical trials utilizing our products, increased 73% to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $1.4 million for the same period in 2021. This increase is attributable to a $0.8 million increase in product revenue and $0.2 million increase in service revenue related to new and continued partnerships with pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic institutions, and contract research organizations during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. There were no increases in biologics and drug delivery product prices during the period between the three months ended June 30, 2021 and the same period in 2021 that would be reasonably expected to affect a typical customer order.
Capital equipment and software revenue, consisting of sales of ClearPoint reusable hardware and software, and of related services, increased 282% to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $0.2 million for the same period in 2021 due primarily to an increase in the sale of ClearPoint systems. Revenue from this product line historically has varied from quarter to quarter, and overall, we believe that hospitals’ capital equipment acquisition activities remain at a low level, relative to the acquisition activity prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. There were no increases in capital equipment product prices during the period between the three months ended June 30, 2022 and the same period in 2021 that would be reasonably expected to affect a typical customer order.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit. Cost of revenue was $1.9 million, resulting in gross profit of $3.3 million and gross margin of 63%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and was $1.1 million, resulting in gross profit of $2.3 million and representing a gross margin of 67%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in gross margin was due primarily to an increase in overhead expenses, excess and obsolete reserves and a decreased contribution, during the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, from functional neurosurgery disposable product
sales, which carry a higher gross margin relative to other product lines, as well as an increased contribution of sales of capital equipment, which carry a relatively lower gross margin. This was partially offset by slightly higher contribution of service revenue, which carries a higher gross margin relative to other product lines.
Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs were $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of $0.2 million, or 8%. The increase was due primarily to increases in product development of $0.1 million resulting from our efforts to expand the applications of our technological platforms.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of $0.6 million, or 38%. This increase was due primarily to additional personnel costs resulting from increases in headcount of $0.3 million, as well as increases in travel costs of $0.1 million and marketing activities of $0.1 million.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of $1.0 million, or 51%. This increase was due primarily to increased share-based compensation of $0.5 million and personnel costs of $0.4 million, both attributed to increases in headcount, and $0.1 million as a result of increased insurance costs.
Interest Expense. Net interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.1 million, compared to $0.2 million for the same period in 2021, due to the conversion of a portion of the 2020 Secured Convertible Notes in May and November 2021. Additional information with respect to the Secured Notes is in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Revenue. Total revenue was $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, which represents an increase of $2.8 million, or 37%.
Functional neurosurgery navigation and therapy revenue, which primarily consists of disposable product commercial sales related to cases utilizing the ClearPoint system, increased 17% to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $3.8 million for the same period in 2021. This increase reflects $0.8 million of service revenue related to development services during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to no service revenue for the same period in 2021, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in product revenue. There were no increases in functional neurosurgery product prices during the period between the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the same period in 2021 that would be reasonably expected to affect a typical customer order.
Biologics and drug delivery revenue, which includes sales of disposable products and services related to customer-sponsored clinical trials utilizing our products, increased 50% to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $3.0 million for the same period in 2021. This increase is attributable to a $0.8 million increase in service revenue as well as a $0.7 million increase in product revenue related to new and continued partnerships with pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic institutions, and contract research organizations during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. There were no increases in biologics and drug delivery product prices during the period between the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the same period in 2021 that would be reasonably expected to affect a typical customer order.
Capital equipment and software revenue, consisting of sales of ClearPoint reusable hardware and software, and of related services, increased 105% to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $0.6 million for the same period in 2021 due primarily to an increase in the sale of ClearPoint systems. Revenue from this product line historically has varied from quarter to quarter, and overall, we believe that hospitals’ capital equipment acquisition activities remain at a low level, relative to the acquisition activity prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. There were no increases in capital equipment product prices during the period between the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the same period in 2021 that would be reasonably expected to affect a typical customer order.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit. Cost of revenue was $3.7 million, resulting in gross profit of $6.5 million and gross margin of 64%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and was $2.6 million, resulting in gross profit of $4.9 million and representing a gross margin of 66%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in gross margin was due primarily to a decreased contribution, during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, from functional neurosurgery disposable product sales, which carry a higher gross margin relative to other product lines, as well as an increased contribution of sales of capital equipment, which carry a relatively lower gross margin, as well as an increase in the excess and obsolete inventory reserve and higher overhead expenses. This was partially offset by higher contribution of service revenue, which carries a higher gross margin relative to other product lines.
Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs were $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $3.7 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of $1.1 million, or 31%. The increase was due primarily to increases in personnel costs of $0.3 million due to growth in headcount, and product and software development of $0.8 million, both resulting from our efforts to expand the applications of our technological platforms.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses were $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of $0.9 million, or 27%. This increase was due primarily to additional personnel costs resulting from increases in headcount of $0.3 million, increased marketing activities of $0.2 million, and travel related costs of $0.2 million.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of $2.1 million, or 57%. This increase was due primarily to increased share-based compensation of $1.1 million and personnel costs of $0.6 million, both attributed to increases in headcount, and $0.2 million as a result of increased insurance costs.
Interest Expense. Net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.2 million, compared to $0.6 million for the same period in 2021, due to the conversion of a portion of the 2020 Secured Convertible Notes in May and November 2021. Additional information with respect to the Secured Notes is in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred net losses since our inception, which has resulted in a cumulative deficit at June 30, 2022 of $142.2 million. In addition, our use of cash from operations amounted to $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Since inception, we have financed our operations principally from the sale of equity securities and the issuance of notes payable.
In January 2020, we entered into the SPA with the 2020 Convertible Noteholders under which we issued the First Closing Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $17.5 million, resulting in proceeds, net of financing costs and a commitment fee paid to one of the 2020 Convertible Noteholders, of approximately $16.8 million.
The SPA also gave us the right, but not the obligation, to request one of the 2020 Convertible Noteholders to purchase an additional $5.0 million in principal amount of the Second Closing Note. On December 29, 2020, under the terms of the Amendment to the SPA which, among other provisions, increased the principal amount of the Second Closing Note, we issued the Second Closing Note to one of the 2020 Convertible Noteholders in the principal amount of $7.5 million.
See Note 6 for additional information with respect to the 2020 Secured Notes.
As discussed in Note 8, on February 23, 2021, we completed a public offering of 2,127,660 shares of our common stock. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $46.8 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by us.
Based on the foregoing, in management’s opinion, cash and cash equivalent balances and short-term investments at June 30, 2022, are sufficient to support our operations and meet our obligations for at least the next twelve months.
Cash Flows
Cash activity for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is summarized as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Six months ended June 30, |
(in thousands) | 2022 | | 2021 |
Cash used in operating activities | $ | (9,250) | | | $ | (5,849) | |
Cash used in investing activities | (21,851) | | | (5) | |
Cash provided by financing activities | 516 | | | 47,279 | |
Net change in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (30,585) | | | $ | 41,425 | |
Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $9.3 million, an increase of $3.4 million from the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase consisted of a higher net loss of $2.0 million and increased net changes of operating assets and liabilities of $2.4 million, partially offset by a change in non-cash items of $1.0 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities is primarily due to the use of cash for increases in inventory and the change in the non-cash items results from increases in share-based compensation.
Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Net cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $21.9 million and consisted primarily of the purchase of short-term investments of $21.6 million as well as equipment acquisitions and licensing rights.
Net cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021, were less than $0.01 million and consisted of equipment acquisitions.
Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Net cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022, consisted of proceeds from the exercise of common stock options and warrants and the employee stock purchase plan.
Net cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 consisted of the proceeds, net offering costs, of $46.8 million received from the public offering of our common stock, and proceeds from the exercise of common stock options and warrants aggregating $0.5 million.
Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements
To date, we have not achieved profitability. We could continue to incur net losses as we continue our efforts to expand the commercialization of our ClearPoint system products and pursue additional applications for our technology platforms. Our cash balances are primarily held in a variety of demand accounts with a view to liquidity and capital preservation.
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of medical devices, we are unable to estimate the exact amounts of capital outlays and operating expenditures necessary to successfully continue to commercialize our ClearPoint system products and pursue additional applications for our
technology platforms. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, the following:
•the ultimate duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic;
•the timing of broader market acceptance and adoption of our ClearPoint system products;
•the scope, rate of progress and cost of our ongoing product development activities relating to our ClearPoint system;
•the ability of our Partners to achieve commercial success, including their use of our products and services in their clinical trials and delivery of therapies;
•the cost and timing of expanding our sales, clinical support, marketing and distribution capabilities, and other corporate infrastructure;
•the cost and timing of establishing inventories at levels sufficient to support our sales;
•the effect of competing technological and market developments;
•the cost of pursuing additional applications of our technology platforms under current collaborative arrangements, and the terms and timing of any future collaborative, licensing or other arrangements that we may establish;
•the cost and timing of any clinical trials;
•the cost and timing of regulatory filings, clearances and approvals; and
•the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk is limited primarily to interest income and expense sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates.
Our investments are in short-term bank deposits, three to twelve month U.S. Treasury Bills, and institutional money market funds. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing income we receive without significantly increasing risk. Due to the nature of our short-term investments, we believe that we are not subject to any material market risk exposure.
At June 30, 2022, we had $10 million of principal outstanding under a First Closing Note, which is subject to interest rate fluctuations. The note bears interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (a) the three (3)-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and (b) two percent (2%), plus (ii) a margin of 2% on the outstanding balance of the First Closing Notes. At June 30, 2022, the three-month LIBOR was greater than the 2% floor as a result of rising interest rates. If the LIBOR continues to increase, a one-percent to two-percent increase would result in additional annual interest expense of $0.1 million to $0.2 million above the floor, respectively. Information with respect to the First Closing Notes may be found in Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Foreign Currency Risk
To date, we have not recorded a significant amount of sales in currencies other than U.S. dollars, and have only limited business transactions in foreign currencies. We do not currently engage in hedging or similar transactions to reduce our foreign currency risks, which at present, are not material. We believe we have no material exposure to risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates at this time. We will continue to monitor and evaluate our internal processes relating to foreign currency exchange, including the potential use of hedging strategies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to us is made known to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within our organization. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022 to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
None.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K, except as set forth below.
Our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected by the current military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, other future social and geopolitical instability and resulting domestic and foreign economic instability.
We are exposed to the risk of changes in social, geopolitical, legal, and economic conditions. The global economy has been, and may continue to be, negatively impacted by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. As a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, various countries have imposed measures including: (i) comprehensive financial sanctions against major Russian banks; (ii) additional designations of Russian individuals with significant business interests and government connections; (iii) designations of individuals and entities involved in Russian military activities; and (iv) enhanced export controls and trade sanctions limiting Russia's ability to import various goods. The negative impacts arising from the conflict and these sanctions and export restrictions, including those imposed by Russia, may include reduced consumer demand, supply chain disruptions, increased cybersecurity risks, and increased costs for transportation, energy, and raw materials. Although none of our operations are in Russia or Ukraine, further escalation of geopolitical tensions could have a broader impact that expands into other markets where we do business, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Further, changes in domestic and global economic conditions, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, as well as other stimulus and spending programs, have led to higher inflation, which is likely, to lead to increased costs and may cause changes in fiscal and monetary policy. Impacts from inflationary pressures, such an increasing costs for research and development of our products, administrative and other costs of doing business, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
