Business Highlights

 

·                  The company is pursuing an optimal therapeutic strategy focused on neuromodulation, based on insights from counterpulsation.

 

·                  New direction provides significant benefits, including: 1) a more cost effective way to develop a fully-implantable system; 2) a faster path to commercialization; and 3) access to a broader segment of the heart failure market and potentially other indications.

 

·                  Near term clinical activities include: 1) a first-in-man acute study to demonstrate a hemodynamic response using a proprietary neuromodulation approach, and 2) a chronic study utilizing a proprietary fully implantable system that establishes the effect of the system and safety profile. Patient enrollment for the acute study is expected to begin and end in Q4 2016, and for the chronic study is expected to begin in 2017.

 

·                  Recent acquisition of the Aquadex FlexFlow product line from an indirect subsidiary of Baxter International; the transaction is highly strategic and financially compelling, complementing the company’s focus on treating heart failure patients; the transaction is expected to be accretive in its first year and to have an annualized revenue run-rate of $5 million by the end of 2016.

 

·                  Meaningful progress on reducing operating expenses in Q2; down 35% from a year ago.

 

·                  Completed a registered direct offering of convertible preferred stock and a private placement of warrants for gross proceeds of approximately $3.5 million in July.

 

·                  Ended Q2 with $12.0 million in cash, $6.1 million in borrowings. In August, repaid all outstanding borrowings and entered into a new credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank. Management expects to raise additional capital in 2016.

 

“After completing my first full quarter as CEO, I continue to be excited and optimistic about the significant opportunities ahead of us at Sunshine Heart,” said John Erb, Chairman and CEO. “As you can see, we are not sitting still. There are a lot of good things happening at the company and the entire team is focused on executing our strategy. We are excited about the direction we are heading and we are confident that we’ve identified a better path to deliver a meaningful therapy for heart failure patients.”

In this press release, the Company has reported non-GAAP measures of operating expenses, net loss and loss per share, which exclude equity compensation expenses related to stock options, warrants, restricted stock units and common stock awards, and reconcile to GAAP operating expense, GAAP net loss and GAAP loss per share as follows:
