BioCardia, Inc.: Form 10-Q for the period ended Jun 30, 2015

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

As used in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation," except where the context otherwise requires, the term "we," "us," "our" or "Tiger X" refers to the business of Tiger X Medical, Inc.

The following discussion should be read together with the information contained in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1, "Financial Statements," in this Form 10-Q.

Overview

Tiger X Medical, Inc. ("Tiger X" or the "Company"), formerly known as Cardo Medical, Inc., previously operated as an orthopedic medical device company specializing in designing, developing and marketing high performance reconstructive joint devices and spinal surgical devices. During 2010, the Company discontinued its operations and sold the assets from its previous business lines during 2011. Beginning on January 1, 2013, the Company became classified as a development stage entity. Our continuing operations include the collection and management of our royalty income earned in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement with Arthrex. We continue to advance and promote our former knee product lines through participation in mobile teaching labs, seminars and live surgery. The Company is constantly evaluating opportunities for a suitable joint venture partner or buyer for the remaining intellectual property owned by the Company. The Company is also evaluating investment opportunities and uses for its cash.

We are headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Our common stock is quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.'s, Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or the OTC Bulletin Board with a trading symbol of CDOM.OB.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

Financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among other things, management makes estimates relating to share-based payments, and deferred income tax assets. Given the short operating history of Tiger X, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Royalty Agreement

On January 24, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Arthrex (the agreement being the "Arthrex Asset Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell the assets of the Reconstructive Division to Arthrex. The Arthrex Asset Purchase Agreement also provides for the Company to receive royalty payments equal to 5% of net sales of the Company's products made by Arthrex on a quarterly basis for a term up to and including the 20th anniversary of the closing date. During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company received total royalty payments of $125,000 and $105,000, respectively, from Arthrex. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company received total royalty payments of $261,000 and $203,000, respectively, from Arthrex. These amounts are reflected as royalty income on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenue consists of royalty income from Arthrex pursuant to the Arthrex Asset Purchase Agreement. Revenue is recognized as the amount becomes known and collectability is reasonably assured.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Royalty income

Royalty income amounted to $125,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $105,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Revenues represented royalties received from Arthrex in connection with the Arthrex Asset Purchase Agreement. The increase during 2015 is the result of Arthrex's increased sales of the acquired product line. Until we find a joint venture partner or buyer for our remaining intellectual property or find an investment opportunity for our existing cash, we expect our primary source of revenue to be royalty payments under the Arthrex Asset Purchase Agreement.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 increased by $13,000 as compared to the same period in 2014 due primarily to increased professional expenses during the quarter ended June 30, 2015. General and administrative expenses primarily represent our continuing operating expenses, including business insurance expense and professional fees such as legal, accounting and audit services.

Interest Income

Our interest income remained consistent for to the quarters ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 due to our cash levels remaining consistent. We had no interest expense in 2015 or 2014, as there was no debt outstanding during this timeframe.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $179,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $106,000 for the same period in 2014. The change between the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the same period in 2014 was primarily due to an increase in our net income for the periods of $19,000, as well as a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $27,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to an increase of $7,000 for the same period in 2014. Our accounts payable and accrued expenses also increased by $3,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to a reduction of $17,000 for the same period in 2014.

We had no cash flows from investing or financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.

We believe our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2015 are adequate to meet our cash needs for the next twelve months and beyond.

Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are "forward-looking statements," as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "should," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "plan," "believe," "predict," "potential," "project," "target," "forecast," "intend," "assume," "guide," "seek" and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements are predictive in nature and may depend upon or refer to future events, activities or conditions. Although we believe that these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we cannot provide any assurances regarding future results. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward- looking statements, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause our actual activities or results to differ materially from the activities and results anticipated in forward-looking statements. Information regarding our risk factors appears in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed on March 24, 2015.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and interim principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d- 15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
