1.    Description of the Business and Liquidity

MRI Interventions, Inc. (the “Company”) is a medical device company focused on the development and commercialization of technology that enables physicians to see inside the brain and heart using direct, intra-procedural magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) guidance while performing minimally invasive surgical procedures. The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on March 12, 1998. In August 2013, the Company formed a subsidiary, MRI Interventions (Canada) Inc. (“MRII Canada”). As of September 30, 2013, there had been no activity in MRII Canada.

The Company’s ClearPoint system, an integrated system comprised of reusable components and disposable products, is designed to allow minimally invasive procedures in the brain to be performed in an MRI suite. In 2010, the Company received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to market the ClearPoint system in the United States for general neurological interventional procedures. The Company’s ClearTrace system is a product candidate under development that is designed to allow catheter-based minimally invasive procedures in the heart to be performed in an MRI suite. The Company has also entered into exclusive licensing and development agreements with affiliates of Boston Scientific Corporation (“Boston Scientific”), pursuant to which Boston Scientific may incorporate certain of the Company’s MRI-safety technologies into Boston Scientific’s implantable leads for cardiac and neurological applications.

Liquidity and Management’s Plans

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred net losses of $5,370,492 and $5,877,718, respectively, and the cumulative net loss from the Company’s inception through September 30, 2013 was $71,036,820. Net cash used in operations was $6,263,800 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $7,433,816 for the year ended December 31, 2012. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the sale of equity securities, the issuance of convertible notes and license arrangements.

The Company’s primary financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012 were:

While the Company expects to continue to use cash in operations, the Company believes its existing cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2013 of $5,031,199, combined with cash generated from product and service revenues, will be sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated cash requirements through at least March 2014. During the remainder of 2013, the Company plans to increase its spending on sales and marketing activities as it continues the commercial rollout of its ClearPoint system, from which the Company expects to increase ClearPoint system product revenues. Certain planned expenditures are discretionary and could be deferred if the Company is required to do so to fund critical operations. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities will likely result in dilution to the Company’s current stockholders. To the extent the Company’s available cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to satisfy its long-term operating requirements, the Company will need to seek additional sources of funds, from the sale of additional equity, debt or other securities or through a credit facility, or to modify its current business plan. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
