1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Amedica Corporation (“Amedica” or “the Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on December 10, 1996. Amedica is a commercial-stage biomaterials company focused on using its silicon nitride technology platform to develop, manufacture, and commercialize a broad range of medical devices. The Company believes it is the first and only manufacturer to use silicon nitride in medical applications. The Company acquired US Spine, Inc. (“US Spine”), a Delaware spinal products corporation with operations in Florida, on September 20, 2010. The Company’s products are primarily sold in the U.S.

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Such rules and regulations allow the omission of certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, so long as the statements are not misleading. In the opinion of management, these financial statements and accompanying notes contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented herein. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2014. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The Company’s significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in its 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Reverse Stock Split

On February 11, 2014, the Company effected a 1 for 25.7746 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. The par value and the authorized shares of the common and convertible preferred stock were not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split. All common stock share and per-share amounts for all periods presented in these financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the reverse stock split.

Initial Public Offering

On February 12, 2014, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock, in which the Company sold and issued 3,682,900 shares, including 182,900 shares sold pursuant to the exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option, at an issuance price of $5.75 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. As a result of the offering, the Company received proceeds of approximately $15.4 million, net of approximately $5.8 million in underwriting and offering costs.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of the more significant estimates relate to inventory, stock-based compensation, long-lived and intangible assets and the liability for preferred stock and common stock warrants.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred a net loss of $4.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively, and used cash in operations of $2.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $144.6 million and $139.9 million at March 31, 2104 and December 31, 2013, respectively. With the exception of a small net income for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 1999, the Company has incurred net losses in each year since inception. To date, the Company’s operations have been principally financed from proceeds from the issuance of preferred and common stock, convertible debt and bank debt and, to a lesser extent, cash generated from product sales. It is anticipated that the Company will continue to generate operating losses and use cash in operations through 2014.

As discussed further in Note 7, the Company is contractually obligated to repay $16.2 million under the GE Secured Lending Facility by making monthly principal payments of $600,000 over the next 27 months. At March 31, 2014, the Company’s cash balance was approximately $13.3 million. In order to help finance growth in product sales, to invest in further product development and to otherwise satisfy obligations in 2014 as they mature, the Company completed an IPO of its common stock, and received proceeds of approximately $15.4 million, net of approximately $5.8 million in offering costs. The Company will need to obtain additional funding during the third quarter of 2014 to satisfy the $5.4 million of principal obligations due under the GE Secured Lending Facility through the rest of 2014 (which excludes interest payments and any other fees incurred or that may be incurred) and to maintain compliance with the financial and liquidity covenants related to the GE Secured Lending Facility through 2014. Furthermore, if the Company is unable to access additional funds prior to becoming non-compliant with the liquidity debt covenant, the entire remaining balance of the debt could become immediately due and payable at the option of the lender. The Company is seeking additional financing and expects to obtain additional financing through the issuance of common stock and/or debt, including a refinancing of its existing debt. Additional funding may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. Any additional equity financing, if available to the Company, may not be available on favorable terms and will most likely be dilutive to its current stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve more restrictive covenants. The Company’s ability to access capital when needed is not assured and, if not achieved on a timely basis, will materially harm its business, financial condition and results of operations. These uncertainties create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustment has been made to our financial statements as a result of this uncertainty.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
