Overview



We are a global medical technology company focused on the design, development,
and commercialization of surgical solutions for the treatment of patients
suffering from spinal disorders. We offer procedural solutions that feature our
FLASH™ Navigation, a system designed to improve accuracy of screw placement and
provide a cost-effective, rapid, radiation-free solution to surgical navigation,
and a comprehensive portfolio of spinal implants and orthobiologics to meet the
varying combinations of products that neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine
surgeons need to facilitate spinal fusion in degenerative, minimally invasive
surgery (MIS), and complex spinal deformity procedures on the lumbar, thoracic
and cervical spine. We believe our offerings are essential to meet the "complete
solution" requirements of these surgeons.

We report revenue in two product categories: (i) orthobiologics and (ii) spinal
implants and enabling technologies. Our orthobiologics products consist of a
broad range of advanced and traditional bone graft substitutes designed to
improve bone fusion rates following a wide range of orthopedic surgeries,
including spine, hip, and extremities procedures. Our spinal implants and
enabling technologies portfolio consists of an extensive line of products and
image-guided surgical solutions to facilitate spinal fusion in degenerative,
minimally invasive surgery (MIS), and complex spinal deformity procedures.

Our U.S. spinal implants and orthobiologics sales organization consists
primarily of regional and territory managers who oversee a broad network of
independent sales agents. We pay these sales agents commissions based on the
sales of our products. Our enabling technologies sales organization consists of
a direct sales force that works together with our independent sales agents to
generate either a capital sale or to place systems and components in an account
in a capital efficient manner in return for a longer-term revenue commitment for
our spinal implant systems and/or orthobiologics products. Our international
sales organization consists of a sales management team that oversees a network
of independent stocking distributors that purchase products directly from us and
independently sell them. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,
international sales accounted for approximately 12% and 10% of our revenue,
respectively, and 11% and 10% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. Our policy is not to sell our products through or to participate
in physician-owned distributorships.

Acquisition



In May 2021, we acquired 7D Surgical, Inc., a pioneer in the image-guided
surgery market, that developed and commercialized advanced machine-vision-based
registration algorithms to improve surgical workflow and patient care, currently
with applications in spine and cranial surgeries. Its flagship system, founded
on its machine-vision, image-guided surgery platform, reduces radiation exposure
in open spine surgery by eliminating intra-operative CT (computed tomography)
and fluoroscopy for purposes of registration, both of which commonly are used
for patient registration with traditional navigational systems.

European Spinal Implant Sales and Marketing



During the third quarter of 2021, we ceased in-person sales and marketing
operations in France to reduce operating expenses and to centralize the
management of our European sales and marketing operations in our headquarters
located in Carlsbad, California. As a result, we closed our office located in
Lyon, France, and eliminated all employment positions at that location.

                                       25
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


During the fourth quarter of 2021, we notified our European distributors that we
will discontinue all sales and marketing activities for our spinal implant
portfolio in the European market effective in August 2022 due to the
significantly higher upfront and recurring annual costs required to comply with
European medical device regulations. We will continue to market and sell our
orthobiologics and enabling technologies products in the European market.

Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue



Our net revenue is derived primarily from the sale of orthobiologics, spinal
implants and enabling technology products in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific
and Latin America. Sales are reported net of returns, rebates, group purchasing
organization fees and other customer allowances.

In the United States, we generate most of our revenue by consigning our
orthobiologics products and by consigning or loaning our spinal implant sets to
hospitals and independent sales agents, who in turn either deliver them to
hospitals for a single surgical procedure, after which they are returned to us,
or leave them with hospitals that are high volume users for multiple procedures.
The spinal implant sets typically contain the instruments, disposables, and
spinal implants required to complete a surgery. We ship replacement inventory to
independent sales agents to replace the consigned inventory used in surgeries.
We maintain and replenish loaned sets at our kitting and distribution centers
and return replenished sets to a hospital or independent sales agent for the
next procedure. We recognize revenue on these consigned or loaned products when
they have been used or implanted in a surgical procedure.

Enabling technologies revenue related to capital equipment, tools and software
is typically recognized upon acceptance by the customer. Revenue from training
and installation is recognized upon completion of the training and installation
process. Revenue from service contracts is recognized over the term of the
contract.

Under certain contracts, the transfer of capital equipment occurs over time as
the customer's purchase commitments on other spinal implant and orthobiologics
products are met. We allocate the transaction price to the multiple performance
obligations under these contracts related to the sale of the products
(recognized either upon the shipment or delivery of goods), the lease of capital
equipment (recognized over the contract period), and the sale of capital
equipment (recognized once the purchase commitments are met).

For all other sales transactions, including sales to international stocking
distributors and private label partners, we generally recognize revenue when the
products are shipped and the customer or stocking distributor obtains control of
the products. There is generally no customer acceptance or other condition that
prevents us from recognizing revenue in accordance with the delivery terms for
these sales transactions.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold primarily consists of the costs of finished goods purchased
directly from third parties and raw materials used in the manufacturing of our
products, plant and equipment overhead, labor costs and packaging costs. The
majority of our orthobiologics products are designed and manufactured
internally. The cost of human tissue and fixed manufacturing overhead costs are
significant drivers of the cost of goods sold, and consequently our
orthobiologics products, at current production volumes, generate lower gross
margin than our spinal implant products. We rely on third-party suppliers to
manufacture our spinal implants and enabling technology products, and we
assemble the spinal implants into surgical sets at our kitting and distribution
centers. The cost to inspect incoming finished goods is included in the cost of
goods sold. Other costs included in cost of goods sold include amortization of
product technology intangible assets, royalties, scrap and consignment losses,
and charges for expired, excess and obsolete inventory.

Selling and Marketing Expense

Our selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of sales commissions, payroll and other headcount related expenses, marketing expenses, shipping, third-party logistics expenses, depreciation of instrument sets, instrument replacement expense, and cost of medical education and training.

General and Administrative Expense


                                       26
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and other
headcount related expenses, and expenses for information technology, legal,
human resources, insurance, finance, and management. We also record gains or
losses associated with changes in the fair value of contingent consideration
liabilities in general and administrative expenses.

Research and Development Expense

Our research and development (R&D) expenses primarily consist of expenses related to the headcount for engineering, product development, clinical affairs and regulatory functions, as well as consulting services, third-party prototyping services, outside research and clinical studies activities, and materials, production and other costs associated with development of our products. We expense R&D costs as they are incurred.

While our R&D expenses fluctuate from period to period based on the timing of specific initiatives, we expect these costs will increase over time as we continue to design and commercialize new products and expand our product portfolio, add related personnel and conduct additional clinical activities.

Intangible Amortization



Our intangible amortization, including the amounts reported in cost of goods
sold, consists of acquisition-related amortization. We expect total annual
amortization expense (including amounts reported in cost of goods sold) to be
approximately $7.3 million in 2022, $6.6 million in 2023, $4.6 million in 2024,
$3.3 million in 2025 and $3.3 million in 2026.

COVID-19 Pandemic - Impact on our Business



The COVID-19 pandemic has presented a substantial public health and economic
challenge around the world and has materially and adversely affected our
business. From late March 2020 to mid-May 2020, among other impacts on our
business related to the pandemic, surgeons and their patients deferred surgical
procedures in which our products otherwise could have been used. This decrease
in demand for our products temporarily recovered to varying degrees beginning in
the latter half of May 2020 as conditions improved in certain geographies,
allowing patients to resume receiving their treatments. However, from late
November 2020 to mid-February 2021, a significant and sustained increase in
COVID-19 cases and hospitalization rates once again caused the deferral of
surgical procedures in which our products otherwise could have been used.
Additionally, in the third quarter of 2021, hospitalization rates in many
geographies increased as a result of the spread of the Delta variant. This,
along with hospital support staffing shortages in certain geographies, adversely
impacted the number of elective surgical procedures and slowed the partial
recovery we had been experiencing. There is a risk that we will see continued
volatility in the demand for our products in 2022 and thereafter as geographies
respond to local conditions. We will continue to closely monitor developments
related to the pandemic and our decisions will continue to be driven by the
health and well-being of our employees, our distributor and surgeon customers,
and their patients while maintaining operations to support our customers and
their patients in the near-term.

At this time, the full extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business,
financial condition and results of operations is uncertain and cannot be
predicted with reasonable accuracy and will depend on future developments that
are also uncertain and cannot be predicted with reasonable accuracy.

The effect of the pandemic will not be fully reflected in our results of operations and overall financial performance until future periods. For additional information on the various risks posed by the pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations, please see "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part II of this report.

Revenue from orthobiologics sales totaled $27.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $3.4 million or 14%, from the same period in
2021. Revenue from orthobiologics sales in the United States increased $3.3
million to $24.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to
the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales of
new and recently launched products. During the three months ended June 30, 2022,
sales of products launched within the past five years increased to 43% of U.S.
orthobiologics revenue compared to 40% for the same period in 2021. Revenue from
orthobiologics sales internationally, which can be volatile from quarter to
quarter because of irregular ordering patterns from our stocking distributors,
increased $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the
same period in 2021.

Revenue from spinal implants and enabling technology sales was $29.3 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $5.4 million or 23%, from
the same period in 2021. Revenue from spinal implants and enabling technology
sales in the United States increased $3.6 million to $25.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 and included $1.1
million of capital sales from recently acquired 7D Surgical. The remaining
revenue growth in the current year period was driven by recently launched
products, predominantly those products that were alpha or fully launched since
2020, and which have been important catalysts to our ability to take market
share in the U.S. spinal implants market. Revenue from spinal implants and
enabling technology sales internationally increased $1.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 and included
$1.1 million of capital sales from recently acquired 7D Surgical. The remaining
revenue growth for international was primarily driven by early shipments of a
portion of final stocking orders to European distributors.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin



Cost of goods sold increased $1.6 million, to $19.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. Gross margin was 66.0%
for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 63.2% for the same period in 2021.
The increase in gross margin was due to lower excess and obsolete inventory
charges and production efficiencies gained at our Irvine manufacturing facility.

Cost of goods sold included $1.0 million and $0.6 million of amortization for
product technology intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2022
and 2021, respectively.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selling and Marketing



Selling and marketing expenses increased $7.6 million to $33.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The
increase was driven primarily by 7D Surgical sales and marketing costs, higher
distributor commissions, higher tradeshow and travel costs, as well as higher
selling, customer service, and supply chain headcount and related expenses.

General and Administrative



General and administrative expenses increased $2.2 million to $12.2 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the addition of general
and administrative expenses attributable to 7D Surgical, higher travel and
headcount related expenses, and higher information technology costs, which were
partially offset by the legal, accounting and other due diligence costs incurred
in the prior year quarter related to the 7D Surgical acquisition.

Research and Development



Research and development expenses increased $0.8 million to $5.6 million, or 10%
of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period
in 2021 due to research and development headcount and related project expenses
attributable to 7D Surgical operations.

Intangible Amortization



Intangible amortization expense, excluding the amounts reported in cost of goods
sold for product technology intangible assets was $0.9 million and $0.8 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Income Taxes

                                              Three Months Ended June 30,
                                              2022                      2021

(Benefit) provision for income taxes           (1,147)                    158
Effective tax rate                                7.6   %                (3.1) %

We recorded an income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily related to the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities in foreign jurisdictions, offset by current activity in state and foreign operations as well as the change in US indefinite lived deferred tax liabilities. We recorded an income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily related to federal, foreign and state operations.



In addition, for any pretax losses incurred by the consolidated U.S. tax group,
we recorded no corresponding tax benefit because we have concluded that it is
not more-likely-than-not that the full value of any resulting deferred tax
assets will be realized. We will continue to assess our position in future
periods to determine if it is appropriate to reduce a portion of our valuation
allowance.

The acquisition of 7D Surgical was a treated as an asset purchase for US tax
purposes and a stock purchase for Canadian tax purposes in 2021. As such, the we
recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities on its Canadian tax attributes. We
continue to use our deferred tax liabilities as a source of income against a
portion of our deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance was recorded for the
portion of the deferred tax assets that are not more-likely-than-not to be
realized. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, a net tax benefit of $1.0
million was recorded as a result of the 7D Surgical current year losses. This
was offset by expenses recorded for indefinite lived intangibles, current
foreign and state taxes and prior year foreign tax true-ups.

As part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA), beginning with our 2022 tax
year, we are required to capitalize research and development expenses, as
defined under Internal Revenue Code section 174. For expenses that are incurred
for research and development in the U.S., the amounts will be amortized over 5
years, and expenses that are incurred for research and experimentation outside
the U.S. will be amortized over 15 years. This provision is not expected to have
a significant impact to the consolidated financial statements.

Other Income



Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily consisted of the
gain on the forgiveness of debt related to the loan we obtained under the
Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security Act.

Revenue from orthobiologics sales totaled $50.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2022, an increase of $5.4 million, from the same period in 2021.
Revenue from orthobiologics sales in the United States increased $5.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The
increase was primarily driven by higher sales of new and recently launched
products. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, sales of products launched
within the past five years increased to 42% of U.S. orthobiologics revenue
compared to 39% for the same period in 2021. Revenue from orthobiologics sales
internationally, which can be volatile from quarter to quarter because of
irregular ordering patterns from our stocking distributors, decreased $0.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in
2021.

Revenue from spinal implants and enabling technology sales totaled $56.5 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $12.1 million, from the
same period in 2021. Revenue from spinal implants and enabling technology sales
in the United States increased $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
2022 compared to the same period in 2021, and included $2.9 million of capital
sales from recently acquired 7D Surgical. The remaining revenue growth in the
current year period was driven by recently launched products, predominantly
those products that were alpha or fully launched since 2020, and which have been
important catalysts to our ability to take market share in the U.S. spinal
implants market. Revenue from spinal implants and enabling technology sales
internationally increased $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022
compared to the same period in 2021, and included $1.6 million of capital sales
from recently acquired 7D Surgical. The remaining revenue growth for
international was primarily driven by early shipments of a portion of final
stocking orders to European distributors.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin



Cost of goods sold increased $6.7 million to $39.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. Gross margin was 63.1%
for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 63.3% for the same period in
2021. The decrease in gross margin was due to increased technology-related
intangible asset amortization and inventory purchase accounting fair market
value adjustments associated with the 7D Surgical acquisition.

                                       31
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Cost of goods sold included $2.0 million and $0.9 million of amortization for
product technology intangible assets, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and
2021, respectively.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expenses increased $13.7 million to $62.5 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase
was driven by higher commissions due to the revenue increase, 7D Surgical sales
and marketing costs, higher sales, marketing, customer service and logistics
headcount and related expenses, additional spinal instrument set depreciation
and instrument replacement expense due to product launches, and higher freight
and third-party logistics expenses.

General and Administrative



General and administrative expenses increased $2.7 million to $23.1 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2020, mostly
due to the addition of general and administrative expenses attributable to 7D
Surgical operations, and higher travel and headcount related expenses, which
were partially offset by the legal, accounting and other due diligence costs
incurred in the prior year quarter related to the 7D Surgical acquisition.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased $2.1 million to $11.5 million, or 11% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was due primarily to research and development headcount and related project expenses attributable to 7D Surgical operations.

Intangible Amortization



Intangible amortization expense, excluding the amounts reported in cost of goods
sold for product technology intangible assets, was $1.7 million and $1.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Business Factors Affecting the Results of Operations

Special Charges and Gains


                                       32
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We define special charges and gains as expenses or non-operating gains and losses for which the amount or timing can vary significantly from period to period, and for which the amounts are non-cash in nature, or the amounts are not expected to recur at the same magnitude.



We believe that identification of these special charges and gains provides
important supplemental information to investors regarding financial and business
trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Investors
may find this information useful in assessing comparability of our operating
performance from period to period, against the business model objectives that
management has established, and against other companies in our industry. We
provide this information to investors so that they can analyze our operating and
financial results in the same way that management does and use this information
in their assessment of our core business and valuation.

Loss before income taxes includes the following special charges and gains for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Other Matters

Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates



Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Preparing these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses. Significant estimates affecting amounts reported or disclosed in the
consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, allowances for
doubtful accounts receivable and sales return and other credits, net realizable
value of inventories, amortization periods for acquired intangible assets,
estimates of projected cash flows and discount rates used to value intangible
assets and test them for impairment, estimates of projected cash flows and
assumptions related to the timing and probability of the product launch dates,
discount rates matched to the timing of payments, and probability of success
rates used to value contingent consideration liabilities from business
combinations, estimates of projected cash flows and depreciation and
amortization periods for long-lived assets, valuation of stock-based
compensation, computation of taxes and valuation allowances recorded against
deferred tax assets, and loss contingencies. These estimates are based on
historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable
under the current circumstances. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.

The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic or the ongoing conflict in
Ukraine will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations
and financial condition, including sales, expenses, manufacturing, research and
development costs and employee-related compensation, will depend on future
developments that are highly uncertain, with respect to COVID-19, including as a
result of genetic variations of, or other information that may emerge
concerning, COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat COVID-19, and
with respect to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the impact thereof on the
supply chain for titanium, which is used in certain of our products, as well as
the broader macroeconomic impact arising from both COVID-19 and the conflict on
local, regional, national and international customers and markets. We have made
estimates of the impact of COVID-19 within our financial statements and there
may be changes to those estimates in future periods. Actual results may differ
from these estimates.

  Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies"   to the Notes to
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1
of this report and included in Part II, Item 8 of the 2021 10-K describe the
significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our
condensed consolidated financial statements.

Information regarding new accounting pronouncements is included in   Note 2,
"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,"   to the Notes to Unaudited

report.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview



As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately
$66.1 million and $1.2 million of borrowing capacity available under our credit
facility. Subsequent to amending the credit facility in July 2022, we had $7.3
million of current borrowing capacity. We believe that our cash and cash
equivalents, and the amount currently available to us under our credit facility,
will be sufficient to fund our operations and meet our contractual obligations
for at least the next twelve months.

Capital Resources



In addition to cash from operations, our existing credit facility is our primary
source of capital. However, we have raised funds
in the capital markets in the past and may continue to do so from time-to-time.

Risks and Uncertainties



We have incurred net losses in each year since inception. Our net losses were
$30.6 million and $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. As of June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $304.2
million. We anticipate that our expenses will increase as we continue invest in
the expansion of our business, primarily in sales, marketing and research and
development; invest in inventory, spinal implant set builds and instrument
capital expenditures; and continue
                                       34
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


to operate as a public company. Based on our updated operating plans, we believe
that we have sufficient resources to fund operations and meet our contractual
obligations through the second quarter of 2023 with our existing cash and
equivalents and borrowing capacity under our extended and expanded credit
facility. However, based on our recurring losses from operations and the
expectation of continued operating losses, we will need to raise additional
capital to finance our future operations. If we are unable to raise such
additional capital, it may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern. Longer term, we expect to raise additional capital through
the sale of common stock in public offerings and/or private placements, debt
financings, or through other capital sources.

Although we have been successful in raising capital in the past, there is no
assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such additional financing on
terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding
on acceptable terms,we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all
of our projected inventory and capital expenditures spend, research and
development programs or commercialization activities, which could materially
adversely affect our business prospects or our ability to continue operations.

Credit Facility



We have a $30.0 million credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association which matures in July 2027. At June 30, 2022, we had $25.0 million
of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility. The borrowing capacity
under the credit facility is determined monthly and is based on the amount of
our eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances and qualified cash (as
defined in the credit facility). Depending on the extent to which our eligible
accounts receivable and inventory balances increase, our borrowing capacity
could increase or decrease in the future. The credit facility contains various
customary affirmative and negative covenants, including prohibiting us from
incurring indebtedness without the lender's consent. Under the terms of the
credit facility, if our Total Liquidity (as defined in the credit facility) is
less than $5.0 million, we are required to maintain a minimum fixed charge
coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00 for the applicable measurement period. Our Total
Liquidity was $62.5 million at June 30, 2022, and therefore that financial
covenant was not applicable at that time.
