1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AxoGen, Inc. (the “Company” or “AxoGen”) and its wholly owned subsidiary AxoGen Corporation (“AC”) as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013, which are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Organization and Business

Business Summary

The Company is a leading medical technology company dedicated to peripheral nerve repair. AxoGen’s portfolio of regenerative medicine products is available in the United States, Canada and several other countries and includes Avance® Nerve Graft, the only off-the-shelf commercially available processed nerve allograft for bridging severed nerves without the comorbidities associated with a second surgical site, AxoGuard® Nerve Connector, a porcine submucosa extracellular matrix (“ECM”) coaptation aid for tensionless repair of severed nerves, and AxoGuard® Nerve Protector, a porcine submucosa ECM product used to wrap and protect injured peripheral nerves and reinforce the nerve reconstruction while preventing soft tissue attachments.

Avance® Nerve Graft is processed in the United States by AxoGen. AxoGuard® Nerve Connector and AxoGuard® Nerve Protector are manufactured in the United States by Cook Biotech Incorporated, and are distributed worldwide exclusively by AxoGen. AxoGen maintains its corporate offices in Alachua, Florida and is the parent of its wholly owned operating subsidiary, AxoGen Corporation.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, delivery has occurred and there is a reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. Revenues for manufactured products and products sold to a customer or under a distribution agreement are recognized when the product is delivered to the customer or distributor, at which time title passes to the customer or distributor, provided, however, that in the case of revenue from consigned sales, delivery is determined when the product is utilized in a surgical procedure. Once a product is delivered, the Company has no further performance obligations. Delivery is defined as delivery to a customer location or segregation of product into a contracted distribution location. At such time, this product cannot be sold to any other customer. Fees charged to customers for shipping are recognized as revenues when products are shipped to the customer, distributor or end user. Revenues from research grants are recognized in the period the associated costs are incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company

Table of Contents

has never experienced any losses related to these balances and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounts receivable are carried at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.

We regularly review all accounts that exceed 60 days from the invoice date and based on an assessment of current credit worthiness, estimate the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. The analysis excludes certain government related receivables due to our past successful experience in collectability. Specific accounts that are deemed uncollectible are reserved at 100% of their outstanding balance. The remaining balances outstanding over 60 days have a percentage applied by aging category (5% for balances 61-90 days and 20% for balances over 90 days aged), based on a historical valuation that allows us to calculate the total reserve required. The reserve balance was determined by applying a percentage to the cumulative balance between 60 and 90 days and a higher percentage to the balance over 90 days. In the event that we exhaust all collection efforts and deem an account uncollectible, we would subsequently write off the account. The write off process involves approval by senior management based on the write off amount. The allowance for doubtful accounts reserve balance was approximately $69,000 and $59,000 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up the Company’s customer base, thus spreading the trade credit risk. The Company also controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures.

Inventories

Inventories are comprised of implantable tissue, nerve grafts, Avance® Nerve Graft, AxoGuard® Nerve Connector, AxoGuard® Nerve Protector, and supplies that are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consist of the following:

	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
	(unaudited)
Finished goods	$	2,116,046	$	2,131,336
Work in process	221,362		235,966
Raw materials	1,008,707		1,031,136
	$	3,346,115	$	3,398,438

Inventories were net of reserve of approximately $383,000 and $383,000 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company has not recorded current income tax expense due to the generation of net operating losses. Deferred income taxes are accounted for using the balance sheet approach which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. A full valuation allowance has been established on the deferred tax asset as it is more likely than not that future tax benefit will not be realized. In

Table of Contents

addition, future utilization of the available net operating loss carryforward may be limited under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 as a result of changes in ownership.

The Company identifies and evaluates uncertain tax positions, if any, and recognizes the impact of uncertain tax positions for which there is a less than more-likely-than-not probability of the position being upheld when reviewed by the relevant taxing authority. Such positions are deemed to be unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding liability is established on the balance sheet. The Company has not recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company’s remaining open tax years subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service include the years ended December 31, 2010 through 2013; there currently are no examinations in process.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates its carrying value based upon current rates available to the Company.

Share-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation cost related to stock options granted under the AC 2002 Stock Option Plan and AxoGen 2010 Stock Incentive Plan is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company estimates the fair value of each option award issued under the Plan on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the volatility of comparable peer companies which are publicly traded, for the periods prior to the merger, and based on the Company’s common stock for periods subsequent to the merger. The Company determines the expected life based on historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and post-vesting forfeitures. The Company uses the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent remaining term approximately equal to the expected life of the award. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company used the following weighted-average assumptions for options granted during the nine months ended September 30:

Nine months ended September 30,	2014 (unaudited)		2013 (unaudited)
Expected term (in years)	4.0		4.0
Expected volatility	79.76	%	83.27	%
Risk free rate	1.23	%	0.71	%
Expected dividends	0.0	%	0.0	%

The Company estimates forfeitures when recognizing compensation expense and this estimate of forfeitures is adjusted over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment, which is recognized in the period of change, and also impact the amount of unamortized compensation expense to be recognized in future periods. The Company did not apply a forfeiture allocation to its unvested options outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 as they were deemed insignificant.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported

Table of Contents

amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the ASU is for companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration, or payment, to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU may also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue. For public entities, the ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Due to the recent date of issuance for this ASU, management is currently evaluating what impact, if any, the pronouncement will have on the Company’s disclosures, its financial position or results from operations.

Table of Contents

agreements is expected to be approximately $15,000 for the remainder of 2014 and $48,000 for 2015 through 2018.

License Agreements

The Company has entered into multiple license agreements (the “License Agreements”) with the University of Florida Research Foundation (“UFRF”) and University of Texas at Austin (“UTA”). Under the terms of the License Agreements, the Company acquired exclusive worldwide licenses for underlying technology used in repairing and regenerating nerves. The licensed technologies include the rights to issued patents and patents pending in the United States and international markets. The effective term of the License Agreements extends through the term of the related patents and the agreements may be terminated by the Company with 60 days prior written notice. Additionally, in the event of default, licensors may terminate an agreement if the Company fails to cure a breach after written notice. The License Agreements contain the key terms listed below:

· AxoGen pays royalty fees ranging from 1% to 3% under the License Agreements based on net sales of licensed products. One of the agreements also contains a minimum royalty of $12,500 per quarter, which may include a credit in future quarters in the same calendar year for the amount the minimum royalty exceeds the royalty fees. Also, when AxoGen pays royalties to more than one licensor for sales of the same product, a royalty stack cap applies, capping total royalties at 3.75%;

· If AxoGen sublicenses technologies covered by the License Agreements to third parties, AxoGen would pay a percentage of sublicense fees received from the third party to the licensor. Currently, AxoGen does not sublicense any technologies covered by License Agreements. The Company is not considered a sub-licensee under the License Agreements and does not owe any sub-licensee fees for its own use of the technologies;

· AxoGen reimburses the licensors for certain legal expenses incurred for patent prosecution and defense of the technologies covered by the License Agreements; and

· Currently, under one of the License Agreements, AxoGen would owe a $15,000 milestone fee upon receiving a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research or Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer grant involving the licensed technology. The Company has not received either grant and does not owe such a milestone fee. Other milestone fees are due if AxoGen develops certain pharmaceutical or medical device products under the License Agreements. No such products are currently under development.

Royalty fees were approximately $93,000 and $64,000 for the three months and were $238,000 and $169,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and are included in sales and marketing expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

6. Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

Accounts payable and accrued expenses includes $182,880 and $203,380 for accrued payroll at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, $512,774 and $417,825 for accrued commissions at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively and $154,252 and $31,176 for accrued bonuses at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Table of Contents

Note Payable

On October 5, 2012, AxoGen entered into a Revenue Interests Purchase Agreement (the “Royalty Contract”) with PDL BioPharma, Inc. (“PDL”), pursuant to which the Company sold to PDL the right to receive royalties equal to 9.95% of the Company’s Net Revenues (as defined in the Royalty Contract) generated by the sale, distribution or other use of AxoGen’s products Avance® Nerve Graft, AxoGuard® Nerve Connector and AxoGuard® Nerve Protector. Proceeds from the PDL transaction were used to fully repay the MidCap Loan, as defined below, and extinguish AxoGen’s long-term debt obligations there under. The Royalty Contract has a term of eight years. Under the Royalty Contract, PDL is to receive royalty payments based on a royalty rate of 9.95% of the Company’s Net Revenues, subject to certain agreed upon minimum payment requirements, currently anticipated to be operative, of approximately $1.3 to $2.5 million per quarter which begin in the fourth quarter of 2014 through the third quarter of 2020 as provided in the Royalty Contract. The total consideration PDL paid to the Company was $20,800,000 (the “Funded Amount”), including $19,050,000 PDL paid to the Company on October 5, 2012, and $1,750,000 PDL paid to the Company on August 14, 2012 pursuant to an Interim Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement between the Company and PDL, dated August 14, 2012 (the “Interim Royalty Contract”). Upon the closing (the “Closing”) of PDL’s purchase of the specified royalties described above, which was concurrent with the execution of the Royalty Contract, the Interim Royalty Contract was terminated.

The Company records interest using its best estimate of the effective interest rate. Currently the Company is accruing interest using the specified internal rate of return of the put option of 20%. From time to time, the Company will reevaluate the expected cash flows and may adjust the effective interest rate. Determining the effective interest rate requires judgment and is based on significant assumptions related to estimates of the amounts and timing of future revenue streams.

Put Option

Under the Royalty Contract, on October 5, 2016, or in the event of the occurrence of a material adverse event, our transfer of revenue interest or substantially all of our interest in the products or AxoGen’s bankruptcy or material breach of the Royalty Contract, PDL may require AxoGen to repurchase the Assigned Interests at the “Put Price.” The Put Price is equal to the sum of (i) an amount that, when paid to PDL, would generate a specified internal rate of return to PDL of 20% on the Funded Amount, taking into consideration payments made to PDL by the Company, and (ii) any “Delinquent Assigned Interest Payment” (as defined in the Royalty Contract) the Company owed to PDL.

Change of Control; Call Option

In addition, in the event of a “Change of Control” (as defined in the Royalty Contract), the Company must repurchase the assigned Interests from PDL for a repurchase price equal to the “Change of Control Price” on or prior to the third business day after the occurrence of the Change of Control. The Change of Control Price is equal to the sum of (i) an amount that, when paid to PDL, would generate a specified internal rate of return to PDL of thirty-two and one half percent (32.5%) on the Funded Amount, taking into consideration payments made to PDL by the Company, and (ii) any “Delinquent Assigned Interest Payment” (as defined in the Royalty Contract) the Company owed to PDL. In addition, at any time after October 5, 2016, the Company, at its option, can call the Royalty Contract for a price equal to the Change of Control Price.

Total future stock compensation expense related to nonvested awards is expected to be approximately $1,508,000 at September 30, 2014.

9. Subsequent Events

On November 12, 2014, (the “Signing Date”), AxoGen, Inc. (the “Company” or “AxoGen”), as borrower, and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary AxoGen Corporation, as guarantor, entered into a term loan agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Three Peaks Capital S.a.r.l. (“Three Peaks”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Oberland Capital Healthcare Master Fund LP (“Oberland”), as administrative and collateral agent for the lenders. Under the Term Loan Agreement, Three Peaks has agreed to lend to AxoGen a term loan of $25 million (the “Initial Term Loan”) which has a six year term and requires interest only payments and a final principal payment due at the end of the term. Interest is payable quarterly at 9.00% per annum plus the greater of LIBOR or 1.0% which as of November 13, 2014 (“the Initial Closing Date”) resulted in a 10% rate. Under certain conditions, the Company has the option to draw an additional $7 million (“Subsequent Borrowing” and, together with the Initial Term Loan, the “Term Loan”) during the period of April 1, 2016 through June 29, 2016 (the closing date of each such Subsequent Borrowing, a “Subsequent Closing Date” and, together with the Initial Closing Date, the “Closing Dates”) under similar terms and conditions. The Company has to maintain certain covenants including limiting new indebtedness, restriction of the payment of dividends and maintain certain levels of revenue. Three peaks has a first perfected security interest in the assets of the Company.

As of the Signing Date, the Company also entered into a 10 year Revenue Interest Agreement (“Revenue Interest Agreement”) with Three Peaks. Royalty payments are based on a royalty rate of 3.75% of the Company’s revenues up to a maximum of $30 million in revenues in any 12 month period. In the event the Subsequent Borrowing is drawn, the royalty rate increases proportionally up to a maximum of 4.80%. The Company has to maintain certain covenants including those covenants under the Term Loan.

Under the Term Loan Agreement, the Company has the option at any time to prepay the Term Loan in whole or in part, and the Royalty Interest Agreements by making the following payment, and Three Peaks has the right to demand the following payment upon a change of control of the Company, sale of the majority of the Company’s assets or a material adverse change to the Company or any portion being prepaid: (i) on or prior to the first anniversary of the applicable Closing Date, 120% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan; (ii) after the first anniversary but no later than the second anniversary of the applicable Closing Date, 135% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan or any portion being prepaid; (iii) ) after the second anniversary but no later than the third anniversary of the applicable Closing Date, 150% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan; or any portion being prepaid (iv) ) after the third anniversary of the applicable Closing Date, an amount generating an Internal Rate of Return of 16.25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan or any portion being prepaid. In all cases, the amount due is reduced by the sum of interest and principal previously paid and all amounts received under the Revenue Interest Agreement. In each such case the Company will also owe an additional 3% of the originally advanced Term Loan amount. Upon payment to Three Peaks, the Company would have no further obligations to Three Peaks under the Term Loan or the Revenue Interest Agreement.

In addition, on the Initial Closing Date, the Company sold 1,375,969 shares of common stock to Three Peaks for a total of $3.55 million in cash (“Three Peaks Equity Sale”) at a public offering price of $2.58 per share. The proceeds from the Initial Term Loan, the Three Peaks Equity Sale and $1.75 million of capital from the Company, were used to fully repay the Royalty Contract with PDL. The Company has no further obligations to PDL under the Royalty Contract.

In connection with the Term Loan Agreement, on the Signing Date, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. AxoGen Corporation (“AC”), entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Three Peaks, pursuant to which each of the Company and AC grants to Three Peaks a security interest in certain collateral as specified in the Security Agreement to guarantee the payment in full when due of the Secured Obligations.

Subsequent to the closing of the Term Loan, also on the Initial Closing Date, the Company sold 643,382 shares of common stock for a total of $1.75 million to PDL (“PDL Equity Sale”) at a public offering price of $2.72 per share pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and PDL dated the Signing Date. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the PDL Equity Sale for general corporate purposes.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to “AxoGen,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to AxoGen, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary AxoGen Corporation (“AC”).

OVERVIEW

The Company is a leading medical technology company dedicated to peripheral nerve repair. AxoGen’s portfolio of regenerative medicine products is available in the United States, Canada and several other countries and includes Avance® Nerve Graft, the only off-the-shelf commercially available processed nerve allograft for bridging severed nerves without the comorbidities associated with a second surgical site, AxoGuard® Nerve Connector, a ECM coaptation aid for tensionless repair of severed nerves, and AxoGuard® Nerve Protector, a porcine submucosa ECM product used to wrap and protect injured peripheral nerves and reinforce the nerve reconstruction while preventing soft tissue attachments.

Revenue from the distribution of these products is the main contributor to AxoGen’s total reported sales and has been the key component of its growth to date. AxoGen revenues increased in third quarter 2014 compared to 2013 primarily as a result of the sales strategy to focus on growing sales and increasing product usage in existing accounts. AxoGen has continued to broaden and strengthen its sales and marketing activity with a focus on the execution of its sales operations. This is expected to have a continued positive contribution to its revenue growth in the long term.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

Revenues

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased 58.0% to approximately $4,671,000 as compared to approximately $2,957,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Additionally, revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased 51.0% to approximately $12,024,000 as compared to approximately $7,963,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This increase was primarily a result of the sales strategy to focus on growing sales and increasing product usage in existing accounts. In addition, AxoGen recognized approximately $57,000 and $175,000 of grant revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to no such revenue in the corresponding time period in 2013.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased 63.6% to approximately $3,775,000 as compared to approximately $2,307,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Such increase in aggregate dollars was primarily attributable to the increased revenues in the third quarter of 2014. Gross margin improved to 80.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 78.0% for the same period in 2013 as a result of price increases in March 2014, manufacturing efficiencies and changes in product mix.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased 55.9% to approximately $9,538,000 as compared to approximately $6,119,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Such increase in aggregate dollars was primarily attributable to the increased revenues in the first nine months of 2014. Gross margin improved to 79.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 76.9% for the same period in 2013 as a result of price increases in March 2014 and changes in product mix.

Costs and Expenses

Total cost and expenses increased 21.7% to approximately $5,578,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $4,584,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. These

Table of Contents

increases were primarily due to increasing sales and marketing activities as revenues increased and increases in compensation as AxoGen hired additional personnel to meet its current and expected growth.

Total cost and expenses increased 28.8% to approximately $16,630,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $12,914,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. These increases were primarily due to increasing sales and marketing activities and increases in compensation as AxoGen hired additional personnel to meet its current and expected growth. To a lesser extent, these increases were also attributable to expenses associated with being a public company listed on NASDAQ, facility costs and research and development costs associated with the Company’s preparation for its clinical trial.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 17.9% to approximately $3,251,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $2,757,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. This increase was primarily due to increased expenses related to AxoGen’s direct sales force and independent distributors, sales training and surgeon education. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses were 69.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 93.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Such lower sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue were a result of the revenue increase outpacing increases in costs and expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 30.0% to approximately $9,327,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $7,177,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This increase was primarily due to expansion of the direct sales force, increased support for both AxoGen’s direct sales force and independent distributors, sales training and surgeon education. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses were 77.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 90.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Such lower sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue were a result of the revenue increase outpacing increases in costs and expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased 33.5% to approximately $1,646,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $1,233,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily a result of increased compensation including non-cash stock option compensation of approximately $84,000 and insurance expenses As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 35.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 41.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Such lower general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were a result of the revenue increase outpacing increases in costs and expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased 24.0% to approximately $5,254,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $4,238,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily a result of increased compensation, including non-cash stock option compensation of approximately $167,000 and insurance expenses. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 43.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 53.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Such lower general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were a result of the revenue increase outpacing increases in costs and expenses.

Research and development expenses increased approximately 14.6% to approximately $681,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $594,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Research and development expenses increased approximately 36.8% to approximately $2,050,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $1,499,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Development includes AxoGen’s product development and clinical efforts substantially focused on its biological license application (“BLA”) for the Avance® Nerve Graft. A substantial portion of the increase in research and development expenses from 2013 to 2014 is related to expenditures for such clinical activity. Although AxoGen’s products are developed for sale in their current use, it does conduct limited research and product development focused on new products and new applications to existing products. AxoGen has become more active in pursuing research grants to support this research. AxoGen’s product pipeline development also contributed to a portion of the research and development expense increase in 2014, with grant revenue partially offsetting a portion of this activity.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest expense increased 13.6% to approximately $1,380,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $1,215,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Interest expense increased 13.1% to approximately $3,964,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $3,506,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This increase was due to the increase in the interest related to the Royalty Contract from higher revenues and the interest accrued related to PDL. As a result of the accounting treatment for the PDL transaction, interest expense included approximately $890,000 and $923,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and approximately $2,809,000 and $2,756,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of non-cash expense that is expected to be paid in the future based upon the terms of the PDL transaction and increases in AxoGen revenues. Other than the $2,809,000 and $2,756,000 non-cash expense, the remaining $1,155,000 and $750,000 in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, is related to cash paid for interest on the note payable.

Interest expense—deferred financing costs decreased 9.8% to approximately $55,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $61,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Interest expense—deferred financing costs increased 8.2% to approximately $159,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to approximately $147,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This increase is primarily due to higher deferred financing cost amortization associated with the PDL agreement from applying the effective interest rate method.

Income Taxes

The Company had no income tax expenses or income tax benefit for each of the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 due to incurrence of net operating loss in each of these periods.

Effect of Inflation

Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company’s operations or cash flow.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Note Payable

On October 5, 2012, AxoGen entered into the Royalty Contract with PDL. Proceeds from the PDL transaction were used to fully repay a prior credit facility and extinguish AxoGen’s long-term debt obligations thereunder. Pursuant to the Royalty Contract the Company sold to PDL the right to receive specified royalties on the Company’s Net Revenues (as defined in the Royalty Contract) generated by the sale, distribution or other use of the Company’s products Avance® Nerve Graft, AxoGuard® Nerve Protector and AxoGuard® Nerve Connector (the “Acquired Revenues”). The Royalty Contract has a term of eight years. Under the Royalty Contract, PDL is to receive royalty payments currently paid weekly based on a royalty rate of 9.95% of the Company’s Net Revenues (the “Assigned Interests”), subject to certain agreed upon minimum payment requirements which begin in the fourth quarter of 2014 as provided in the Royalty Contract. The total consideration PDL paid to the Company was $20,800,000 (the “Funded Amount”), including $19,050,000 PDL paid to the Company on October 5, 2012, and $1,750,000 PDL paid to the Company on August 14, 2012 pursuant to the Interim Royalty Contract. Upon the closing of PDL’s purchase of the specified royalties described above, which was concurrent with the execution of the Royalty Contract, the Interim Royalty Contract was terminated. There are no financial covenants or other restrictions on the use of capital by AxoGen as a result of the Royalty Contract, however, PDL has a first perfected security interest in the Assigned Interests.

The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures at September 30, 2014.

On November 12, 2014, (the “Signing Date”), AxoGen, Inc. (the “Company” or “AxoGen”), as borrower, and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary AxoGen Corporation, as guarantor, entered into a term loan agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Three Peaks Capital S.a.r.l. (“Three Peaks”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Oberland Capital Healthcare Master Fund LP (“Oberland”), as administrative and collateral agent for the lenders. Under the Term Loan Agreement, Three Peaks has agreed to lend to AxoGen a term loan of $25 million (the “Initial Term Loan”) which has a six year term and requires interest only payments and a final principal payment due at the end of the term. Interest is payable quarterly at 9.00% per annum plus the greater of LIBOR or 1.0% which as of November 13, 2014 (“the Initial Closing Date”) resulted in a 10% rate. Under certain conditions, the Company has the option to draw an additional $7 million (“Subsequent Borrowing” and, together with the Initial Term Loan, the “Term Loan”) during the period of April 1, 2016 through June 29, 2016 (the closing date of each such Subsequent Borrowing, a “Subsequent Closing Date” and, together with the Initial Closing Date, the “Closing Dates”) under similar terms and conditions. The Company has to maintain certain covenants including limiting new indebtedness, restriction of the payment of dividends and maintain certain levels of revenue. Twin peaks has a first perfected security interest in the assets of the Company.

Table of Contents

Subsequent Borrowing is drawn, the royalty rate increases proportionally up to a maximum of 4.80%. The Company has to maintain certain covenants including those covenants under the Term Loan.

Under the Term Loan Agreement, the Company has the option at any time to prepay the Term Loan, in whole or in part, and the Revenue Interest Agreements by making the following payment, and Three Peaks has the right to demand the following payment upon a change of control of the Company, sale of the majority of the Company’s assets or a material adverse change to the Company: (i) on or prior to the first anniversary of the applicable Closing Date, 120% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan or any portion being prepaid; (ii) after the first anniversary but no later than the second anniversary of the applicable Closing Date, 135% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan or any portion being prepaid; (iii) ) after the second anniversary but no later than the third anniversary of the applicable Closing Date, 150% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan or any portion being prepaid; or (iv) ) after the third anniversary of the applicable Closing Date, an amount generating an Internal Rate of Return of 16.25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan or any portion being prepaid. In all cases, the amount due is reduced by the sum of interest and principal previously paid and all amounts received under the Revenue Interest Agreement. In each such case the Company will also owe an additional 3% of the originally advanced Term Loan amount. Upon payment to Three Peaks, the Company would have no further obligations to Three Peaks under the Term Loan or the Revenue Interest Agreement.

In connection with the Term Loan Agreement, on the Signing Date, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Axogen Corporation (“AC”), entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Three Peaks, pursuant to which each of the Company and AC grants to Three Peaks a security interest in certain collateral as specified in the Security Agreement to guarantee the payment in full when due of the Secured Obligations.

Cash Flow Information

AxoGen had working capital of approximately $15.96 million and a current ratio of 8.85 at September 30, 2014, compared to working capital of $23.56 million and a current ratio of 12.23 at December 31, 2013. The decrease in working capital and the current ratio at September 30, 2014 as compared to December 31, 2013 was primarily due to the use of working capital for operations. The Company believes it has sufficient cash resources to meet its liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months.

AxoGen’s future capital requirements depend on a number of factors, including, without limitation, revenue increases consistent with its business plan, and pursuant to AxoGen’s licensing agreements in connection with Avance® Nerve Graft, cost of products and acquisition and/or development of new products. AxoGen could face increasing capital needs. Such capital needs could be substantial depending on the extent to which AxoGen is unable to increase revenue.

If AxoGen needs additional capital in the future, it may raise additional funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or from other sources. The sale of additional equity would result in dilution to AxoGen’s shareholders. There is no assurance that AxoGen will be able to secure funding on terms acceptable to it, or at all. The increasing need for capital could also make it more difficult to obtain funding through either equity or debt. Should additional capital not become available to AxoGen as needed, AxoGen may be required to take certain action, such as, slowing sales and marketing expansion, delaying regulatory approvals or reducing headcount.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company had a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8,267,000 as compared to a net increase of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8,679,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company’s principal sources and uses of funds are explained below:

Cash used in operating activities

The Company used approximately $8,019,000 of cash for operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to using approximately $8,061,000 of cash for operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease in cash used in operating activities is primarily attributed to the decrease in inventory offset by an increase in our accounts receivable associated with increased revenues.
