"In June, we achieved one of the most significant milestones in the Company's history with the receipt of 510(k) clearance and subsequent initial U.S. launch of the Magellan Robotic System," said Bruce Barclay, Hansen Medical's President and Chief Executive Officer. "While we are still in the very early days of the launch, we are pleased with the clinical interest for the Magellan System. We currently have several quotes outstanding to potential customers and expect to ship multiple Magellan Systems this year. With growing clinical experience and our strengthened commercial capabilities across key geographies, we believe we are well positioned for long-term commercial success."

Mr. Barclay continued, "Additionally during the quarter, we further realigned resources allowing us flexibility to bring additional focus to our sales and commercialization efforts as needed, while lowering total expenses and reducing our cash burn. This initiative contributed to the improved cash burn in the quarter, and we expect further improvement through the remainder of the year. Importantly, we continue to believe that we have sufficient cash to support our initial U.S. launch of the Magellan Robotic System."

2012 Second Quarter Financial Results

Total revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $3.5 million compared to revenue of $5.3 million in the same period in 2011. During the second quarter, the Company shipped one Sensei Robotic System and recognized revenue on two Sensei Robotic Systems, as well as the shipment of 704 catheters. Catheter sales were up 3% over the second quarter of 2011, and up 23% sequentially, as hospitals returned to growing their inventory levels of Company catheters. Further, an estimated 637 procedures were performed in the period with Company products, an increase of 7% compared to the same quarter of the prior year, and flat sequentially. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had a total deferred revenue balance of $4.8 million, which includes prior shipment of 4 systems that have not been recognized as revenue.

Cost of revenues for the second quarter was $2.8 million. As a result, gross profit for the quarter was $753,000, or 21% of revenue, compared to gross profit of $1.4 million, or 26% of revenue for the same period in 2011. The decrease in gross profit in the current quarter is primarily the result of lower system sales, partially offset by improved manufacturing efficiencies.

Research and development expenses for the second quarter were $4.6 million, compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2011, which included $2.8 million of funded research and development credits (recorded as a reduction of expense) from our now completed work under our joint development agreement with Philips. Excluding these research and development credits in the second quarter of 2011, prior year research and development expenses were higher due primarily to additional development costs associated with the Company's Magellan System and higher non-cash stock compensation expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter were $6.8 million, compared to $7.2 million for the same period of 2011. The net decrease in the current quarter is primarily due to a reduction in legal and non-cash stock compensation expenses partially offset by increases in sales and marketing expenses.

Net loss for the second quarter was $11.5 million, or $0.19 loss per share, based on average shares outstanding of 61.2 million. This compares with a net loss for the second quarter of 2011 of $8.8 million or $0.16 per share, based on average shares outstanding of 54.7 million. Net loss for the second quarter of 2012 included total non-cash stock compensation expenses of $1.0 million compared to $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2011. The reduction is primarily the result of lower equity awards in the quarter compared to the prior year.

Cash burn in the quarter improved to $9.1 million compared to $13.7 million in first quarter of 2012, due primarily to improved collection of receivables and operating efficiencies. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2012 were $29.4 million, compared to $38.5 million as of March 31, 2012, and $52.2 million as of December 31, 2011.

About Hansen Medical, Inc.

Hansen Medical, Inc., based in Mountain View, California, is the global leader in intravascular robotics, developing products and technology designed to enable the accurate positioning, manipulation and control of catheters and catheter-based technologies. The Company's Magellan™ Robotic System, NorthStar™ Robotic Catheter and related accessories, which are intended to facilitate navigation to anatomical targets in the peripheral vasculature and subsequently provide a conduit for manual placement of therapeutic devices, have undergone both CE marking and 510(k) clearance and are commercially available in the European Union, and the U.S. In the European Union, the Company's Sensei® X Robotic Catheter System and Artisan Control Catheter are cleared for use during electrophysiology (EP) procedures, such as guiding catheters in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), and the Lynx® Robotic Ablation Catheter is cleared for the treatment of AF. This robotic catheter system is compatible with fluoroscopy, ultrasound, 3D surface map and patient electrocardiogram data. In the US the Company's Sensei X Robotic Catheter System and Artisan Control Catheter were cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for manipulation and control of certain mapping catheters in EP procedures. In the United States, the Sensei System is not approved for use in guiding ablation procedures; this use remains experimental. The U.S. product labeling therefore provides that the safety and effectiveness of the Sensei X System and Artisan Control Catheter for use with cardiac ablation catheters in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including AF, have not been established.
