Half-year Report

DUBLIN--()--

Mainstay Medical Announces Half Year Financial Results

Mainstay Medical International plc (“Mainstay”, “We” or the “Company”, Euronext Paris: MSTY.PA and ESM of the Irish Stock Exchange: MSTY.IE), a medical device company focused on bringing to market ReActiv8®, an implantable neurostimulation system to treat disabling Chronic Low Back Pain (“CLBP”), today announces the publication of its report for the Half Year ended 30 June 2016.

Highlights

  • On 14 September 2016, Mainstay announced the enrollment of the first subject in the ReActiv8-B Clinical Trial. The purpose of the ReActiv8-B Clinical Trial is to gather data in support of an application for pre-market approval (“PMA”) from the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), a key step towards commercialization of ReActiv8 in the US. The Clinical Trial, if successful, will provide Level 1 Evidence of efficacy of ReActiv8, which may be used to support applications for favorable reimbursement in the USA. In addition, evidence from the ReActiv8-B Clinical Trial will be used to support market development activities worldwide.
  • On 25 May 2016, Mainstay announced the receipt of CE Marking approval for ReActiv8. The CE Marking approval is based on positive results from the ReActiv8-A Clinical Trial which demonstrated clinically important, statistically significant and lasting improvement in pain, disability and quality of life in people with disabling chronic low back pain and few other treatment options. On 20 September 2016 we announced the one-year results from the ReActiv8-A Clinical Trial, which showed long term sustained performance.
  • Our commercial launch of ReActiv8 is focused on Germany. We aim to drive adoption of ReActiv8 in a select number of hospitals with a large population of patients with chronic low back pain and with a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment. Our initial customers in Germany (neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons) have been trained, contract negotiations are well under way, and ethics committee submissions have been made for the ReActiv8-C Registry. We have recruited a direct sales force, which is supported by our team of experienced field clinical specialists. As we gain experience and momentum, we will expand our commercialization efforts to other countries and centers.
  • On 17 June 2016, Mainstay announced the completion of a private placement of €30 million (approximately $33.7 million) through a placement of 2,307,694 new ordinary shares with new and existing shareholders.
  • In February 2016, a new US Patent was issued bringing the total number of issued US Patents in the Mainstay portfolio to seven.
  • Operating expenses were $8.0 million ($6.3 million in 1H15) and the increase was primarily driven by expansion of our team, preparation for the ReActiv8-B Clinical Trial and preparation for our commercial launch.
  • Cash on hand at 30 June was $42.8 million and operating cash out flows for the period were $7.5 million.

About Mainstay

Mainstay is a medical device company focused on bringing to market an innovative implantable neurostimulation system, ReActiv8®, for people with disabling Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP). The Company is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. It has subsidiaries operating in Ireland, the United States, Australia and Germany, and its ordinary shares are admitted to trading on Euronext Paris (MSTY.PA) and the ESM of the Irish Stock Exchange (MSTY.IE).

CAUTION – in the United States, ReActiv8 is limited by federal law to investigational use only.

About the ReActiv8-C Registry

The ReActiv8-C Registry is an international, multi-center, data collection registry. All patients who will be implanted with ReActiv8 during commercialization will be invited to enroll in the ReActiv8-C Registry until the target enrollment numbers have been reached. The purpose is to gather additional summary data on the long term performance of ReActiv8 in at least 50 patients.

About Chronic Low Back Pain

One of the recognized root causes of CLBP is impaired control by the nervous system of the muscles that dynamically stabilize the spine in the low back, and an unstable spine can lead to back pain. ReActiv8 is designed to electrically stimulate the nerves responsible for contracting these muscles and thereby help to restore muscle control and improve dynamic spine stability, allowing the body to recover from CLBP.

People with CLBP usually have a greatly reduced quality of life and score significantly higher on scales for pain, disability, depression, anxiety and sleep disorders. Their pain and disability can persist despite the best available medical treatments, and only a small percentage of cases result from an identified pathological condition or anatomical defect that may be correctable with spine surgery. Their ability to work or be productive is seriously affected by the condition and the resulting days lost from work, disability benefits and health resource utilization put a significant burden on individuals, families, communities, industry and governments.

The Company will host a live conference call for analysts and investors at 3:00pm Dublin time (4:00pm Paris, 10:00am New York) on the day. The call will be conducted in English and a replay will be available for 30 days.

Interim Management Report

The Board of Directors are pleased to report on the progress of Mainstay Medical International plc (“Mainstay” or the “Company”) and present the Half Year Report of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group” or “we”) for the half year ended 30 June 2016.

Principal activities

Mainstay is a medical device company focused on bringing to market ReActiv8®, a new implantable neurostimulation system to treat disabling Chronic Low Back Pain (“CLBP”).

The Company is incorporated in Ireland as a public limited company. The Company’s ordinary shares are listed on the ESM of the Irish Stock Exchange and Euronext Paris.

As at 30 June 2016, the Company together with its operating subsidiaries Mainstay Medical Limited, Mainstay Medical Distribution Limited, Mainstay Medical GmbH, MML US, Inc. and Mainstay Medical (Australia) Pty. Limited form the Mainstay Medical Group.

Business review

ReActiv8-B Clinical Trial – On 14 September 2016, Mainstay announced the enrolment of the first subject in the ReActiv8-B Clinical Trial. The purpose of the ReActiv8-B Clinical Trial is to gather data in support of an application for pre-market approval (“PMA”) from the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), a key step towards commercialization of ReActiv8 in the US. The Clinical Trial, if successful, will provide Level 1 Evidence of efficacy of ReActiv8, which may be used to support applications for favorable reimbursement in the USA. In addition, evidence from the ReActiv8-B Clinical Trial will be used to support market development activities worldwide.

The design of the Clinical Trial requires data from 128 randomized subjects in the Pivotal Cohort at the 120-day primary outcome assessment visit. Based on experience with enrolment in the ReActiv8-A Clinical Trial, it is estimated that full enrolment in the ReActiv8-B Clinical Trial will take 12 to 18 months from first enrolment, with results anticipated to be available approximately six months following full enrolment.

CE Marking and Initial Commercial Launch – On 25 May 2016, Mainstay announced the receipt of CE Marking approval for ReActiv8. The CE Marking approval is based on positive results from the ReActiv8-A Clinical Trial which demonstrated a clinically important, statistically significant and lasting improvement in pain, disability and quality of life in people with disabling chronic low back pain and few other treatment options.

Our commercial launch of ReActiv8 is focused on Germany. We aim to drive adoption of ReActiv8 in a select number of hospitals with a large population of patients with chronic low back pain and with a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment. Our initial customers in Germany (neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons) have been trained, contract negotiations are well under way, and ethics committee submissions have been made for the ReActiv8-C Registry. We have recruited a direct sales force, which is supported by our team of experienced field clinical specialists. As we gain experience and momentum, we will expand our commercialization efforts to other countries and centers.

Funding – On 17 June 2016, we announced the completion of a private placement of €30 million (approximately $33.7 million) through a placement of 2,307,694 new ordinary shares with new and existing shareholders (the “Placement”).

On 11 August 2016, we announced the publication of a prospectus (the “Prospectus”) in connection with the Placement. The Prospectus comprises a Summary Document, a Securities Note and a Registration Document. These documents are available on our website (www.mainstay-medical.com).

The Group’s debt facility provided by IPF was announced on 24 August 2015 for up to $15 million. As at 30 June 2016, the Group had drawn down $10.5 million. During July 2016, we received the last tranche of $4.5 million.

US Patents - In February 2016, one new US Patent was issued (listed below), which brings the total number of issued US Patents in the Mainstay portfolio to seven:

  • U.S. Patent No. 9,248,278 entitled “Modular Stimulator for Treatment of Back Pain, Implantable RF Ablation System and Methods of Use”.

Corresponding applications have been filed for other countries. Mainstay continues to add to its portfolio of issued patents and pending patent applications.

ReActiv8-A Clinical Trial –The ReActiv8-A Clinical Trial is an international, multi-center, prospective, single arm Clinical Trial of ReActiv8, for the purpose of gathering data to form part of the submission for CE Mark approval. We announced the results of the first 46 subjects in this Clinical Trial to reach the 90-day end point in August 2015, and additional data were announced in December 2015 and September 2016. On 20 September 2016 we announced the one-year results from the ReActiv8-A Clinical Trial, which showed long term sustained performance.

The results show clinically important, statistically significant and lasting improvement in pain, disability and quality of life in a population of people with few treatment options. As detailed above, the submission for CE Mark approval included the results of the ReActiv8-A Clinical Trial.

As part of the CE Marking approval process, we agreed to conduct a range of activities to gather additional data on the long term performance and safety of ReActiv8. The ReActiv8-A Post Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) Study is a continuation of the ReActiv8-A Clinical Trial (but with CE Marked ReActiv8).

ReActiv8-C Registry – In addition to the ReActiv8-A PMCF Study, the Company will conduct a registry. The ReActiv8-C Registry is an international, multi-center, data collection registry. All patients who will be implanted with ReActiv8 during commercialization will be invited to enroll in the ReActiv8 Registry until the target enrollment numbers have been reached. The purpose is to gather additional summary data on the long term performance of ReActiv8 in at least 50 patients.

Financial review

Income Statement Mainstay is at a pre-revenue stage. Operating expenses related to on-going activities were $8.0 million during the half year ended 30 June 2016 (30 June 2015: $6.3 million). On-going activities include clinical and regulatory activities, research and development, preparation for our initial commercial launch and general and administrative activities. The increase of $1.7 million is primarily driven by expansion of our team, preparation for our commercial launch and preparation for the ReActiv8-B Clinical Trial.

Research and development expenses reflect costs incurred for research, ongoing development and design of the Group’s product ReActiv8 and related accessories. These expenses include the salaries of engineers, technicians, quality and regulatory specialists; the cost of outsourced early-stage development and manufacturing activities; biocompatibility and pre-clinical studies; and quality costs including the set-up and maintenance of our quality system. Research and development expenses also include the costs of developing and maintaining our intellectual property portfolio, including legal costs and associated filing and maintenance fees. Research and development expenses were $1.6 million during the half year ended 30 June 2016 (30 June 2015: $1.2 million). The increase of $0.4 million is primarily driven by expansion of our team.

Clinical and regulatory expenses relate to the ongoing ReActiv8-A Clinical Trial, and preparation for the ReActiv8-B Clinical Trial. Also included in clinical and regulatory expenses are expenses relating to clinical consulting; regulatory consulting; and, salary costs for our clinical team members. All clinical and regulatory costs are expensed as incurred. We expect clinical and regulatory expenses to increase significantly when enrollment in the ReActiv8-B Clinical Trial ramps up, as further subjects continue to be recruited, as we collect data for both clinical trials, and as we undertake post market clinical follow-up activities. Clinical and regulatory expenses were $2.6 million during the half year ended 30 June 2016 (30 June 2015: $2.3 million). The increase of $0.3 million is primarily driven by increased consulting and clinical costs as we prepare for the ReActiv8-B Clinical Trial.

General and administration expenses consist of salaries and other related costs for personnel in executive, commercial, finance and legal functions. Commercial costs consist primarily of consulting and related costs. General and administration expenses include the professional fees for accounting, audit and legal services; general and facilities costs such as rent; insurances and IT costs.

Commercial activities to date have been focused on the development of the Group’s commercial strategy and on planning and managing the process to obtain reimbursement for the Group’s products after regulatory approvals have been obtained and the products become available to be sold commercially. Commercial expenses are expected to increase with the expansion of our resources to include new personnel in a direct sales team as we move toward commercialization in Germany. General and administration expenses were $2.9 million during the half year (30 June 2015: $2.0 million). The increase of $0.9 million is primarily driven by expansion of our team, and expenditure on activities for our initial commercial launch.

Non-cash expense in relation to share options for the half year ended 30 June 2016 was $0.9 million (30 June 2015: $0.8 million). This increase is primarily due to grants of additional options to employees and consultants.

Statement of financial position On 17 June 2016, we announced that we had raised gross proceeds of €30 million (approximately $33.7 million) through a placement of 2,307,694 new ordinary shares with new and existing shareholders (the “Placement”). Transaction costs of approximately $1 million have been allowed for and have been offset against retained earnings (in accordance with the Company’s Act 2014).

Following CE Marking approval which was received by the Group in May 2016, as part of our preparation for our commercial launch, we have built up inventory of $0.4 million as at 30 June 2016.

Cash on hand at 30 June 2016 was $42.8 million (31 December 2015: $16.6 million). The increase in cash is primarily due to the proceeds received on the placement completed in June 2016, offset by ongoing operating expenditure. Total assets of the Group at period end were $44.0 million (31 December 2015: $17.6 million).

Operating net cash out flows for the half year ended 30 June 2016 were $7.5 million (30 June 2015: $5.7 million). This operating cash out flow reflects the cost of the research and development of ReActiv8, undertaking our clinical trials, preparation for our commercial launch, the ongoing costs of being a public company, and running the Group. The increase during the half year ended 30 June 2016 is primarily due to increased operating expenditure.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The principal risks and uncertainties faced by the Group and/or its industry for the remaining six months of 2016 remain substantially unchanged from the risks disclosed in the Prospectus published on 11 August 2016. Section D1 of the Summary Document of the Prospectus sets out on pages 12 and 13 some key information on the key risks specific to the Company and its industry.

Outlook and future developments

We look forward to ramping up the ReActiv8-B Clinical Trial and our commercial launch of ReActiv8 in Germany.

Going concern

The condensed consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group is a going concern.

To fund the clinical trials and commercialization of ReActiv8 the Group has raised debt and equity and it continues to explore funding strategies (e.g.: equity, debt, partnering) to support the Group’s activities into the future. As at 30 June 2016, following a private placement which generated gross proceeds of €30 million (approximately $33.7 million), the Group has reported cash of $42.8 million and the last tranche of the IPF debt facility of $4.5 million was received by the Group in July 2016.

After making enquiries and having considered the conditions noted above and the options available to the Group, the Directors are satisfied that Group will have sufficient funds to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of the condensed consolidated Financial Statements and are satisfied that the condensed consolidated Financial Statements should be prepared on a going concern basis.

Auditors

The condensed consolidated Financial Statements have not been reviewed by the Company’s auditors.

2 Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

The condensed consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU. They do not include all the information and disclosures necessary for a complete set of IFRS Financial Statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2015.

The comparative information provided in the condensed consolidated Financial Statements relating to the periods ended 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2015 does not comprise the statutory financial statements of the Group. Those statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 on which the auditors gave an unqualified audit opinion, have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies.

The half year ended 30 June 2016 is the first period in which the Group has recognized inventory, following CE Marking approval for the Group’s product in May 2016. Therefore, except for estimates of provision for inventories (refer to significant accounting policies below, and note 8), there are no significant or material changes to judgements or estimates used in these condensed consolidated Financial Statements compared with those used in the full Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.

The condensed consolidated Financial Statements were authorized for issue by the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee, as delegated by the Board of Directors, on 20 September 2016.

Going concern

The condensed consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis that the Group is a going concern.

To fund the clinical trials and commercialization of ReActiv8 the Group has raised debt and equity and it continues to explore funding strategies (e.g.: equity, debt, partnering) to support the Group’s activities into the future. As at 30 June 2016, following a private placement which generated gross proceeds of €30 million (approximately $33.7 million), the Group has reported cash of $42.8 million and the last tranche of the IPF debt facility of $4.5 million was received by the Group in July 2016.

After making enquiries and having considered the conditions noted above and the options available to the Group, the Directors are satisfied that Group will have sufficient funds to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of the condensed consolidated Financial Statements and are satisfied that the condensed consolidated Financial Statements should be prepared on a going concern basis.

Currency

The condensed consolidated Financial Statements are presented in US Dollars (“$”), which is the functional and presentational currency of the Company. Balances in the condensed consolidated Financial Statements are rounded to the nearest thousand (“$’000”) except where otherwise indicated.

Basis of consolidation

The condensed consolidated Financial Statements comprise the consolidated results of Mainstay Medical International plc and its subsidiaries.

Significant accounting policies

The condensed consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared applying the accounting policies that were applied in the preparation of the Group’s published consolidated financial information for the year ended 31 December 2015 prepared in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by the EU and available from the Company’s website (www.mainstay-medical.com). These accounting policies have been applied consistently for all periods presented. New accounting policies implemented during the half year ended 30 June 2016 are listed below:

Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first in – first out principle and includes expenditure in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Provision is made, where necessary, for aged, slow moving, obsolete and defective inventories.

In addition, the Group applied the standards listed below for the first time in the current year:

  • Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 cycle (effective date 1 January 2016)
  • Disclosure initiative (amendments to IAS 1) (effective date 1 January 2016)
  • IAS 16 and IAS 38 (amended) – Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets (effective date 1 January 2016)
  • IAS 16 and 41 - Bearer Plants (effective date 1 January 2016)
  • IFRS 11 (amended) – Accounting for acquisitions of interests in Joint Operations (effective date 1 January 2016)
  • IAS 27 (amended) – Equity method in separate financial statements

None of these have had any material impact on the Group’s implementation of accounting policies or on its reported results.

A number of new standards and amendments to standards are effective for future periods. The date noted is the EU effective date:

  • IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (1 January 2018)
  • IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers (1 January 2018)
  • Disclosure initiative (amendments to IAS 7) (1 January 2017)
  • IAS 12 (amended) – recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealized losses (1 January 2017)
  • IFRS 16 – Leases (1 January 2019)
  • IFRS 2 (amended) – Share based payments (1 January 2018)

The above listed new standards and amendments to standards with an effective date of 1 January 2017 are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

The above listed new standards and amendments to standards with an effective date after 1 January 2017 are under review by the Group.

9 Interest bearing loans and borrowings

IPF Debt Financing

On 24 August 2015, Mainstay Medical Limited entered into an agreement with IPF Partners for a debt facility of up to $15 million. The facility can be drawn in three tranches. Each tranche has a repayment term of 60 months from drawdown, with interest only payments for the first 12 months.

The initial tranche (“Tranche A”) of $4.5 million was received on 9 September 2015. The interest rate on Tranche A is 3-month Euribor plus a margin of 12.5%.

A second tranche (“Tranche B”) of $6 million was received on 3 December 2015. The interest rate on Tranche B is 3-month Euribor plus a margin of 11.5%.

Other expenses directly associated with the facility of $353,412 were deferred and are amortized to profit or loss over the term of the loan on an effective interest rate basis.

The facility is secured by way of fixed and floating charges over the assets and undertakings of Mainstay Medical Limited, and the Mortgage Debenture includes customary terms and conditions. In addition, Mainstay Medical International plc has created a first fixed charge in favor of IPF over its present and future shares held in Mainstay Medical Limited.

The terms of the agreement include a requirement that Mainstay Medical Limited hold a minimum cash balance of $2 million, or achieve revenue targets within an agreed timeframe. It also includes monthly and quarterly reporting requirements. The Group is not in breach of any covenants at 30 June 2016 and has not been in breach at any reporting date.

11 Financial instruments

Financial risk management

In terms of financial risks, the Group has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (comprising foreign currency risk and interest rate risk). This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks together with the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing those risks.

Risk management framework

Mainstay’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework. The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to the limits. Risk management systems and policies will be reviewed regularly as the Group expands its activities and resource base to take account of changing conditions.

Due to the current pre-revenue nature of the Group’s activities, there are no significant concentrations of financial risk other than concentration of cash with individual banks and there has been no significant change during the half year, or since the end of the half year to the types or quantum of financial risks faced by the Group or the Group’s approach to the management of those risks.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s cash and cash equivalents.

The maximum credit risk is represented by the carrying value of cash held with the Group’s financial institutions. The Group’s objective is to minimize credit risk.

The Group maintained its cash balances with its principal financial institutions throughout the half year, and the Group limits its exposure to any one financial institution by holding cash balances across a number of financial institutions. The Group’s principal financial institutions have investment grade ratings at 30 June 2016.

The credit rating status of the Group’s principal financial institutions is reviewed by the Audit Committee or the Board annually. The cash balance is reported to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis, and a monthly review of all cash balances held at each institution is carried out by the CFO.

The Group maintains the majority of its cash in USD denominated accounts. Approximately $3,000 was held in AUD as at 30 June 2016 and approximately $300,000 was held in Euro as at 30 June 2016.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

Since inception the Group has funded its operations primarily through (i) the issuance of equity securities and (ii) debt funding. The Group continues to explore funding strategies (e.g.: equity, debt, partnering) to support its activities into the future. Adequate additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. The Group’s inability to raise capital as and when needed would have a negative impact on the Group’s financial position and its ability to pursue its business strategy.

Foreign currency risk

The Group’s reporting currency is the US Dollar. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises through expenditure incurred in Euro and Australian Dollars.

The Group’s Australian subsidiary has an Australian Dollar functional currency. Mainstay Medical Distribution Limited and Mainstay Medical GmbH have a Euro functional currency. The translation differences related to the consolidation of these subsidiaries are not material.

The Group did not have material asset or liability amounts in foreign currencies at 30 June 2016 other than trade payables and accruals (net of cash) of €1,527,000 and AU$201,000. A strengthening (or weakening) of the US Dollar against the Euro of 5% would have (decreased)/ increased the loss for the period by $84,000 (2015: $1,000). Any reasonable or likely movement between the US Dollar and the Australian Dollar is considered not likely to have a material impact on the Group’s statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Interest rate risk

The Group’s cash balances are maintained in short term access accounts and carry a floating rate of interest. A 50 basis points change in the rate of interest applied to the cash balance held by the Group would not have had a material impact on the Group’s statement of profit or loss in the half year.

At 30 June 2016, the principal outstanding on MML’s loan from IPF was $10,500,000. This loan carries a variable rate of 3-month Euribor plus a margin ranging from 11.5% to 12.5%. The terms of the debt agreement stipulate that if Euribor is less than zero, it is deemed to be zero. Any change in the Euribor rate above zero will directly affect the amount of interest repayable on this debt.

A 25 basis point increase in Euribor above zero would have increased the loss for the period by $13,125.

12 Share based payments

Share Options

The terms and conditions of the Group’s share option plan are disclosed in the most recent, published, consolidated financial statements. The charge of €0.9 million for the half year ended 30 June 2016 (30 June 2015: $0.8 million) is the grant date fair value of various share options granted in the current and prior years, which are being recognized within the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the vesting period related to service.

Warrants

On 2 December 2011, Silicon Valley Bank provided the Company with a loan of $2,000,000, the loan was repaid in full on 7 March 2014.

In connection with these borrowings, MML issued immediately exercisable warrants to purchase up to 13,000 shares at $7.70 per share with an expiration date of 2 December 2021. The fair value of these warrants on the date of issue was $69,000.

As at 30 June 2016 11,897 warrants were outstanding.

13 Contingencies

The Directors and management are not aware of any contingencies that may have a significant impact on the financial position of the Group.

14 Related party transactions

During the half year ended 30 June 2015, the Group purchased services of $33,364 from Orsco Life Sciences AG, a company controlled by Oern Stuge MD, a Director of Mainstay Medical International plc. This agreement was terminated on 31 December 2015.

There were no balances due to or from related parties as at 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2015.

Key management compensation and Directors’ remuneration
