Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed, projected or implied in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason.

We have based these forward-looking statements on assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate.

Important factors that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements include, among other things:

our ability to receive regulatory clearance for the MyoVista wavECG, or the MyoVista, from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, state regulators, if any, or other similar foreign regulatory agencies, including approval to conduct clinical trials, the timing and scope of those trials and the prospects for regulatory approval or clearance of, or other regulatory action with respect to the MyoVista;

•

our ability to advance the development of the MyoVista, our full function conventional 12-lead electrocardiograph, or ECG, device that incorporates an additional proprietary artificial intelligence-based algorithm that has been designed with the expectation of detecting cardiac dysfunction caused by heart disease or age-related cardiac dysfunction, and future potential products;

•

our ability to launch sales of the MyoVista into the U.S. and any future potential products;

•

our assessment of the potential of the MyoVista and future potential products to diagnose certain indications;

•

our planned level of capital expenditures and liquidity;

•

our plans to continue to invest in research and development to develop technology for new products;

•

the regulatory environment and changes in the health policies and regimes in the countries in which we intend to operate, including the impact of any changes in regulation and legislation that could affect the medical device industry;

•

our ability to meet our expectations regarding the commercial supply of the MyoVista and any future products;

•

our ability to retain key executives;

•

our ability to internally develop new inventions and intellectual property;

•

the overall global economic environment;

•

the impact of COVID-19 and resulting government actions on us;

•

the impact of competition and new technologies;

•

general market, political and economic conditions in the countries in which we operate;

•

our ability to internally develop new devices and intellectual property;

•

our expectations regarding the use of proceeds from the initial public offering (the "IPO") of units (the "Units"), with each Unit consisting of (a) one share of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), and (b) a warrant (the "IPO Warrants") to purchase one share of our Common Stock, and additional IPO Warrants through the exercise, in part, of the underwriter's over-allotment option, in the IPO in June 2022;

•

changes in our strategy; and

•

litigation.

These statements are only current predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by law, we are under no duty to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise for any reason.

Notes to Condensed Unaudited Financial Statements

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a HeartSciences (“HeartSciences” or the "Company") is a medical technology company specializing in cardiovascular diagnostic technology. The Company is a Texas corporation and is headquartered in Southlake, Texas.

HeartSciences’ initial focus is on applying novel technology to extend the clinical indications for use of an electrocardiograph (“ECG”) device. Its first device, the MyoVista is an ECG which can be used in a wide range of clinical settings and provides diagnostic information to a qualified healthcare professional on cardiac dysfunction which has traditionally only been provided using cardiac imaging. In addition, the MyoVista provides conventional ECG information. The Company plans to market its device both domestically and internationally to various hospitals, clinics, and medical centers and manufacture the devices using outsourced production facilities. To date the Company has had small amounts of revenue from key opinion leader engagement and establishment of distributor relationships outside the United States during the development and product improvement phase of the MyoVista. There have been a number of published clinical studies that have validated the MyoVista technology and the Company is preparing to seek U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance of the MyoVista during the fiscal year ending April 30, 2023.

On June 3, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation with the Secretary of the State of Texas to effect a 1-for-33 reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock, with an effective date of June 10, 2022. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 33 shares of the Company's issued and outstanding pre-reverse split common stock were combined into one share of common stock, except to the extent that the reverse stock split resulted in any of the Company's shareholders owning a fractional share, which was rounded up to the next highest whole share if such fraction was equal to or greater than one-half. In connection with the reverse stock split, there was no change in the par value per share of $0.001. All share and per share numbers have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated.

Note 2. Liquidity, Going Concern and Other Uncertainties

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of early-stage companies, including dependence on key individuals and products, the difficulties inherent in the development of a commercial market, the need to obtain additional capital, competition from larger companies, and other technologies.

The Company has incurred losses each year since inception and has experienced negative cash flows from operations in each year since inception. As of October 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $57.8 and $54.4 million, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

In June 2022, the Company raised approximately $5.2 million in net proceeds from the completion of the initial public offering (the "IPO") (see Note 5). The Company’s forecasts and cashflow projections indicate that current resources would be insufficient to support operations significantly beyond the second calendar quarter of 2023 and repay the promissory notes issued pursuant to the $1M Loan and Security Agreement (the "$1M Notes") as they fall due in September 2023 (see Note 4 for a description of the $1M Loan and Security Agreement). Additionally, the FDA can delay, limit or deny clearance of a medical device for many reasons outside the Company’s control which may involve substantial unforeseen costs.

Management’s plans include raising capital through the sale of additional equity securities, debt or capital inflows from strategic partnerships. Management can provide no assurance that such financing or strategic relationships will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, which would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial statements.

The condensed unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, which led to a global health emergency and market disruptions. The full impact of COVID-19 remains uncertain, and the related health crisis adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect the global economy. While the extent of these disruptions have eased, the risk continues as new variants are being discovered, which may continue to negatively impact the Company’s results of operations and liquidity.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and in conformity with the instructions on Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commissions ("SEC") and have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results of operations for the periods presented. The interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any subsequent period. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates carrying value. At times, the Company’s cash balances may exceed the current insured amounts under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

Inventory

All inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined substantially on a “first-in, first-out” basis. Selling, general, and administrative expenses are not inventoried, but are charged to expense when incurred. The following is a summary of the Company’s inventories at October 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022:


	October 31,			April 30,
	2022			2022
Raw materials	$	359,965		$	359,965
Sub-assemblies		348,746			345,217
Work in progress		21,741			21,741
Finished goods		28,663			28,662
Reserve for obsolescence		(81,446	)		(81,446	)
Total Inventory	$	677,669		$	674,139

Inventory consists mainly of raw materials and components used in the current hardware build of the MyoVista. Devices and components are used for research and development purposes and device sales, which to date have been in international markets as sale of the MyoVista in the U.S. is subject to FDA clearance. The Company is partway through a new pivotal clinical validation study and device testing necessary for a revised FDA De Novo submission, which is expected to take place during the fiscal year ending April 30, 2023. The Company believes that its hardware platform is in final form, however, prior to FDA clearance and market acceptance of the MyoVista, further hardware changes could be necessary which could have an impact on net realizable values. The majority of the Company’s current inventory is intended for use to build finished products for sales both internationally and in the U.S. following regulatory clearance. Finished products do not contain materials that would degrade significantly over the useable life of the device and are considered to have a useable life of over seven years. Existing inventory related to finished devices are planned to be updated to the latest hardware revision and specifically allocated to a limited distribution for field reliability studies and are not slated for general purpose sales. The Company periodically evaluates inventory and makes specific write-offs and provides an allowance for inventory that is considered obsolete due to hardware and or software related changes. If the Company does not receive FDA clearance and/or obtain market acceptance of the MyoVista, the Company could have further material write-downs of inventory due to obsolescence in excess of the amount currently reserved.

Research and Development Expenses

In accordance with ASC Topic 730, Accounting for Research and Development Costs, the Company accounts for research and development expenditures, including payments to collaborative research partners and regulatory filing costs, as research and development expenses. Accordingly, all research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The range of estimated useful lives used to calculate depreciation is generally 3 to 5 years. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and replacements and betterments are capitalized. When items are retired or otherwise disposed, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in other income (expense).

The following is a summary of the Company’s property and equipment at October 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022:


	October 31,			April 30,
	2022			2022
Equipment	$	386,859		$	379,612
Furniture & fixtures		102,563			102,563
Leasehold improvements		32,812			32,812
Total		522,234			514,987
Less: Accumulated depreciation		(458,177	)		(444,952	)
Property and equipment, net	$	64,057		$	70,035

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs, consisting of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs, incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Company's IPO, have been charged to stockholder's equity upon completion of the IPO in June 2022.

Fair Value Measurements

The accounting guidance establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or is derived from such prices. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

•

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

•

Level 2 – Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly;

•

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the assignment of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which primarily include cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts of the Company’s existing notes payable approximate their fair values at the stated interest rates and are reflective of the prevailing market rates.

Leases

The Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. The Company measures and records a right-of-use asset and lease liability based on the discount rate implicit in the lease, if known. In cases where the discount rate implicit in the lease is not known, the Company measures the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities using a discount rate equal to the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate for loans with similar collateral and duration.

The Company elected to not apply the recognition requirements to leases of all classes of underlying assets that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. Instead, lease payments for such short-term leases are recognized in operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for employee and non-employee share-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under ASC 718, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

The estimated fair value of common stock option awards is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on key assumptions such as fair value of common stock, expected volatility, and expected term. These estimates require the input of subjective assumptions, including (i) the expected stock price volatility, (ii) the calculation of the expected term of the award, (iii) the risk-free rate and (iv) expected dividend yields. As there has not been a public market for the Company’s common stock, management has determined the expected stock price volatility at the time of grant of the option by considering a number of objective and subjective factors, including stock price volatility of comparable companies that are publicly available and based on the industry, stage of life cycle, size and financial leverage of such other comparable companies.

Management has estimated the expected term of its common stock options using the “simplified” method, whereby, the expected term equals the arithmetic average of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the option due to its lack of sufficient historical data. The expected volatility is derived from the historical volatilities of comparable publicly traded companies over a period approximately equal to the expected term for the options. The risk-free interest rates for periods within the expected term of the option are based on the US Treasury securities with a maturity date that commensurate with the expected term of the associated award. There is no expected dividend yield since the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

For stock options issued to employees and non-employees, the fair value of stock-based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is defined as the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for an award. The Company uses a straight-line attribution method for all grants that include only a service condition. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the financial statements is reduced by actual awards forfeited.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per share excludes the effect of dilution and is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities.

Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, convertible preferred stock, stock options, common stock subject to repurchase related to early exercise of stock options, convertible stock warrants and convertible notes are considered to be potentially dilutive securities. As the Company has reported a net loss for all periods presented, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for those periods.

Common Stock Warrants

The Company grants warrants to purchase common stock in connection with financing transactions. Warrants are valued based on Black-Scholes models and the fair value is recorded to additional paid-in-capital.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The guidance focuses on the core principle for revenue recognition, which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, which provides a five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers as follows:

•

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

•

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

•

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

•

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

•

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into a legally enforceable contract with a customer, through a purchase order, that defines each party’s rights regarding the products to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these products, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for products that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The only performance obligation is to create and ship the product and each product has separate, distinct pricing. Performance obligations are met and revenue is recognized at a point in time when the order for its goods are shipped FOB manufacturer and control is transferred.

The transaction price is determined based on the amount expected to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the product to the customer net of any transaction price adjustments. The Company’s payment terms to customers generally range from 30 to 60 days.

Payment terms fall within the one-year guidance for the practical expedient which allows the Company to forgo adjustment of the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component. The Company accepts product returns at its discretion or if the product is defective as manufactured. Historically, the actual product returns have been immaterial to the Company’s financial statements. The Company elected to treat shipping and handling costs as a fulfillment cost and included them in the cost of goods sold as incurred. Costs associated with product sales include commissions. The Company applies the practical expedient and recognizes commissions as expense when incurred because the expense is incurred at a point in time and the amortization period is less than one year. Commissions are recorded as selling expense.

The Company did not recognize material revenues during the three and six-month periods ended October 31, 2022 or 2021. The Company's revenues do not require significant estimates or judgements. The Company is not party to contracts that include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration. As of October 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022, the Company did not have any contract assets or liabilities from contracts with customers and there were no remaining performance obligations that the Company had not satisfied.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets, subject to valuation allowances, and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Management considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including recent cumulative experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income or loss, the carry-forward periods available to the Company for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors.

A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Accruals for uncertain tax positions are provided for in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The Company may recognize the tax benefits from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Judgement is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns.

Based on its analysis, management has determined that it has not incurred any liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of October 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, U.S. states or foreign jurisdiction authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax laws.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and franchise taxes in the State of Texas. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. Generally, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities for years before 2018.

$130K Unsecured Drawdown Convertible Promissory Note

On August 12, 2019, the Company entered into an unsecured drawdown convertible promissory note with Front Range Ventures, LLC (“FRV”) for an aggregate amount not to exceed $130,000 (“$130K Note”). FRV is a shareholder of the Company and the Company entered into an agreement with FRV where FRV is entitled to appoint a member of the Board of Directors and a board observer so long as it holds at least 71,000 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock.

The $130K Note may be repaid at any time upon 20 days’ notice to the holder. The $130K Note is convertible into Series C convertible preferred stock at any time, upon written notice by either the holder or the Company or at maturity, at the lowest price paid for the Series C convertible preferred C stock prior to conversion, which is currently $25.00 per share. The $130K Note matures 20 days following FDA clearance of the Company’s MyoVista medical device. Under the terms of the agreement, the note is non-interest bearing.

The $130K Note does not contain any covenants that restrict the Company's ability to conduct business and does not contain specific events of defaults. Any breach of its terms by the Company would entitle FRV to all available rights and remedies, at law or in equity, available.

$1M Notes and Loan and Security Agreement

In April 2020, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the "$1M Loan and Security Agreement") with FRV and John Q. Adams who are both shareholders of the Company. John Q. Adams was also a Director of the Company at the time of entering into the $1M Loan and Security Agreement. Each party committed to lend a principal amount of $500,000, totaling $1,000,000 and the loan was drawn in three installments of $300,000 upon execution of the loan agreement, $350,000 on or about July 2, 2020 and $350,000 on or about September 4, 2020. The loan had an original maturity date of September 30, 2021, which was amended on September 30, 2021 making the note repayable on demand.

The $1M Loan and Security Agreement was amended again on November 3, 2021, extending the maturity to September 30, 2022. The loan was further amended on May 24, 2022, extending maturity to September 30, 2023. In connection with the amendment in May 2022, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Adams all accrued but unpaid interest on his note prior to September 30, 2022. In June 2022, the Company paid approximately $126,000 in accrued interest to Mr. Adams.

The $1M Loan and Security Agreement accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum, compounded annually, which is payable at maturity. The Company is also required to pay default interest at a rate of 18% per annum, compounded annually, on any unpaid amounts due at maturity until the loan amounts are fully re-paid. The loan is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets and intellectual property, except for the secured interest on the covered technology as discussed in Note 8.

As of October 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022, accrued interest was approximately $171,000 and $229,000, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

$1.5M Secured Convertible Promissory Notes

In December 2020, the Board of Directors approved the offering of a series of secured convertible promissory notes in the amount of $1,500,000 (“$1.5M Notes”). The $1.5M Notes were sold as a series to a number of different investors with $1,490,000 of the notes being sold to shareholders of the Company of which members of the Board of Directors of the Company subscribed for $30,000. The notes had an original maturity of July 31, 2022 and were subsequently amended on November 2, 2021, extending maturity to October 31, 2022. The entire amount of the $1.5M Notes converted upon the IPO into 909,071 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.65 (Note 5). In accordance with their terms no interest was payable as the notes converted prior to maturity.

2021 Bridge Securities

In December 2021 the Board approved the sale of Senior Subordinated Convertible Loan Notes (the "Bridge Notes”) and associated warrants (the “Bridge Warrants”), together the “2021 Bridge Securities”. The Company sold $4,695,555 principal value of the Bridge Notes which were issued with a 10% original issue discount (OID), and accrued interest at 8% per annum and had a maturity date of December 22, 2024. In accordance with their terms, the entire amount of the Bridge Notes, including $165,516 of accrued interest, converted upon the IPO into 1,606,027 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.89 and Pre-Funded Warrants to acquire 77,443 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share (see Note 5). The Bridge Warrants have a 5-year term from their date of issuance and, in accordance with their terms following the IPO, had the right to purchase 1,365,960 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.16 per share. The exercise price of the Bridge Warrants is subject to full ratchet downward adjustment for 18-months following the IPO in the event of an issuance of common stock (or issuance of convertible securities or options at a lower price conversion/exercise price) than the then exercise price. Upon a lowering of the exercise price the holder will be entitled to exercise the Bridge Warrants so the new exercise price multiplied by the number of shares of common stock purchased is 150% of the principal amount of the 2021 Bridge Notes purchased.

Subsequent to the IPO, pursuant to provisions in the Bridge Notes limiting the number of shares of common stock into which the Bridge Notes were convertible, 61,913 shares of common stock into which the Bridge Notes converted were issued and were cancelled and deemed null and void, ab initio, from the time of the conversion and issuance and a Pre-Funded Warrant to purchase an additional 61,913 shares of common stock was issued. The Pre-Funded Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Bridge Warrants except that the exercise price is $0.0001 per share. On September 8, 2022, the Company entered into a written amendment to the Bridge Warrants, referred to as the Bridge Warrant Amendment, with the lead investor in the private placement of the 2021 Bridge Securities. The Bridge Warrant Amendment amended the terms of the Bridge Warrants to make them more consistent with the terms of the IPO Warrants (see Note 5).

Paycheck Protection Program Loans

On January 25, 2021, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $250,200 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) which was established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provided for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. Following the PPP guidelines, the Company filed for loan forgiveness in May 2021 and in June 2021, the Small Business Administration approved

the filing and forgave the loan. The forgiveness of the PPP loan is recorded in gain on extinguishment of debt in the statement of operations as of the period ended October 31, 2021.

Note 5. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

Preferred Stock

In the six months ended October 31, 2022 and year ended April 30, 2022, there were no issuances of convertible preferred stock by the Company.

On June 2, 2022, the Company filed amendments to the Amended and Restated Certification of Designations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Amended and Restated Certification of Designations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which amended certain provisions in the agreements including that on completion of an IPO by the Company, each share of Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock would automatically be converted into shares of common stock and all shares of Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock would be deemed converted and canceled. Upon consummation of the IPO in June 2022, all the outstanding shares of Series A convertible preferred stock were converted into 703,290 shares of common stock at a conversion ratio of 70.33 shares of common stock for each share of Series A convertible preferred stock and all outstanding shares of Series B convertible preferred stock were canceled.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company authorized 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share of which 600,000 have been designated as Series C convertible preferred stock and have a liquidation preference to common stock. The Series C convertible preferred stock was originally issued at $25.00 per share. An amendment to, or waiver of rights in the Series C certificate of designation requires the approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C convertible preferred stock and FRV (so long as FRV owns any at least 71,000 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock).

At October 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022, there were 403,228 and 463,265 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock outstanding, respectively.

Holders of the Series C convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends at an annual rate of $1.50 per share of Series C convertible preferred stock, shall accrue and are payable out of funds legally available, are payable only when and if declared by the board of directors, and are noncumulative. No dividends have been declared to date. The holders of the shares of Series C convertible preferred stock have voting rights equal to an equivalent number of shares of common stock into which it is convertible and vote together as one class with common stock.

Each share of Series C convertible preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder at any time, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock determined by dividing the original issue price of $25.00 by the conversion price for such series in effect at the time of conversion for the Series C convertible preferred stock. The conversion price for the Series C convertible preferred stock is subject to adjustment in accordance with conversion provisions contained in the Company's certificate of formation, as amended.

For the six-month period ending October 31, 2022, 60,037 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock converted into 230,086 shares of common stock at a conversion ratio of 3.8274 shares of common stock for each share of Series C convertible preferred stock.

At October 31, 2022, the Series C convertible preferred stock were convertible into 1,603,338 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $6.29 per share.

Common Stock

The Company’s Certificate of Formation, as amended, authorizes 500,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. As of October 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022, the Company had issued 8,210,503 and 3,323,942 shares of common stock, respectively.

During the six months ended October 31, 2022, the Company issued 4,886,561 shares of common stock, as set forth in the below table:

On June 17, 2022, the Company closed on the sale of 1,500,000 units in the IPO (the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a combined public offering price of $4.25 per Unit. Additionally, in the IPO, the underwriter exercised the over-allotment option, for 225,000 warrants at a public offering price of $0.01 per warrant. The common stock and warrants were immediately separable following the IPO. The warrants have an exercise price per share of $4.25 and are exercisable at any time up to expiration which is five years from the date of issuance. The Company received approximately $5.2 million in net proceeds from the IPO after deducting the underwriting discount and commission and other IPO expenses payable by the Company of approximately $1.2 million.

The holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends whenever funds and assets are legally available and when declared by the board of directors, subject to the rights of holders of series of convertible preferred stock outstanding. No dividends were declared as of or through the six months ended October 31, 2022 and the year ended April 30, 2022.

Common Stock Warrants

The Company has issued warrants to investors in connection with funding or for services rendered and these warrants are convertible into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of 5 years from the date of issuance.

The following is a summary of warrant activity during the six months ended October 31, 2022:


	Warrants Outstanding and Exercisable			Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted Average Strike Price per Share

Bridge Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants

In connection with the Bridge Securities, as discussed in Note 4, the Company issued Bridge Warrants to note holders. The Bridge Warrants were subject to antidilution provisions and price adjustments. Upon consummation of the IPO, the Company issued 1,606,027 shares of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants to acquire 77,443 shares of common stock from the conversion of the Bridge Notes. As discussed in Note 4, subsequent to the IPO, 61,913 shares of common stock into which the Bridge Notes converted were cancelled and deemed null and void, ab initio, from the time of the conversion and issuance and a Pre-Funded Warrant to purchase an additional 61,913 shares of common stock was issued. The Pre-Funded Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Bridge Warrants except that the exercise price is $0.0001 per share.

Upon consummation of the IPO, pursuant to the terms of the Bridge Warrants, the holders of the Bridge Warrants became entitled to purchase a total of 1,365,960 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.16 per share, subject to antidilution provisions with respect to the number of shares issuable upon exercise and full ratchet price protection on the exercise price whenever the Company issues shares of common stock for consideration per share less than the exercise price then in effect. On September 8, 2022, the Company entered into a written amendment to the Bridge Warrants with the lead investor in the private placement of the 2021 Bridge Securities. The amendment simplified the Bridge Warrants and made their terms more consistent with the IPO Warrants. As a result of the amendment:

•

The number of shares of common stock for which the Bridge Warrants are exercisable increased to a total 1,683,470 shares and such number is no longer subject to antidilution adjustments if the Company issues shares of common stock for

consideration per share less than the exercise price then in effect. The 1,683,470 shares represent the total number of shares of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants into which the Bridge Notes converted upon the IPO (therefore providing the former Bridge Note holders with one warrant for every share of common stock (or Pre-Funded Warrant) they received upon the Bridge Note conversion);

•

The exercise price of the Bridge Warrants was reduced to $4.25 per share and the price protection provisions applicable to the exercise price of the Bridge Warrants whenever the Company issues shares of common stock were amended such that the exercise price will only be adjusted if such issuances are for consideration per share less than 80% of the exercise price then in effect, subject to certain exceptions; and

•

The period for which the exercise price protection provisions apply was shortened from ending on December 15, 2023 to ending on June 15, 2023 (i.e. 12 months following the IPO).

Following the Bridge Warrant Amendment, the Company cancelled 1,365,960 warrants that were issued previously to purchase common stock and re-issued 1,683,470 warrants to purchase shares of common stock per the terms of the amendment.

IPO Warrants and Underwriter's Warrants

In the IPO, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock ("IPO Warrants") with a per share exercise price of $4.25 and exercisable immediately. The IPO Warrants expire five years from the date of issuance. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement dated June 15, 2022 between the Company and The Benchmark Company, LLC (the "Underwriter"), the Company granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 225,000 shares of Common Stock and/or IPO Warrants to cover over-allotments. On consummation of the IPO, the Underwriter exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 225,000 IPO Warrants. The Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 105,000 shares of common stock (the "Underwriter's Warrants"), representing 7% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock underlying the Units sold in the IPO to the Underwriter, as a part of the underwriting compensation payable in connection with the IPO. These Underwriter's Warrants are exercisable at a per share price equal to $4.25 per share, expire five years from the date of issuance, and are subject to a 180-day lock-up period.

Note 6. Stock-based Compensation

The Company grants certain employees and board members stock option awards where vesting is contingent upon a service period, as it believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Stock option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to or above the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. Certain stock option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control, as defined in the Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement. Unvested stock options forfeit when an employee leaves the Company.

Where option awards are granted based on service periods, they generally vest quarterly based on 3 years continuous service for executive directors and employees, or 12 months continuous service for directors and have ten-year contractual terms.

The Company also grants stock option awards where vesting is contingent upon meeting various departmental and company-wide performance goals, including FDA and CE Mark regulatory approval and certain EBITDA and funding thresholds. Such performance-based stock options are expected to vest when the performance criteria and metrics have been met. These stock options have contractual lives of ten years.

The Company does not have an ERISA stock awards plan. So, all stock options issued are Non-ERISA Plan options and do not have any of the tax and other benefits afforded to ERISA stock option awards.

The following is a summary of service-based stock option activity during the six months ended October 31, 2022:


	Number of Options Outstanding			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years)
Outstanding - April 30, 2022		254,215		$	11.79		4.6
Options forfeited		(2,273	)		1.16		—
Outstanding - October 31, 2022		251,942		$	11.89		4.1

Non-vested at October 31, 2022		4,672		$	3.22		9.1
Vested at October 31, 2022		247,270		$	12.05		4.0

The following is a summary of performance-based stock option activity during the six months ended October 31, 2022:


	Number of Options Outstanding			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years)
Outstanding - April 30, 2022		581,768		$	5.16		7.8
Options forfeited		(1,515	)		3.47		—

Vested at October 31, 2022		147,588		$	3.97		7.3

As of October 31, 2022, there was approximately $5,200 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested service-based common stock options and approximately $1,699,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested performance-based common stock options.

Note 7. Income Taxes

The tax effects of temporary differences and carry-forwards that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented below:


	October 31,			April 30,

Valuation Allowance		(10,768,028	)		(10,122,005	)
Net Deferred Tax Assets	$	—		$	—

For the six months ended October 31, 2022 and the year ended April 30, 2022, the Company’s cumulative net operating loss for federal income tax purposes was approximately $43 million and $39 million, respectively. The net operating loss, subject to limitations, may be available in future tax years to offset taxable income. The net operating loss carry-forward will begin to expire in year 2028.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based upon the projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not

that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences, and therefore, a full valuation allowance has been recorded at October 31, 2022 and April 30, 2022.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

The Company has a long-term operating lease for office, industrial, and laboratory space which was entered into in May 2017. On September 27, 2022, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Lease (the "Lease Amendment"), which amended the Lease Agreement to document the exercise of its option to extend the term of the lease for an additional 64 months, commencing February 1, 2023, and expiring on May 31, 2028 (the "Extension Term"). Pursuant to the amendment, the Company will pay initial monthly payments of $13,129, beginning February 2023, subject to 3% annual increases. The Company will receive a four-month rent concession at the start of the lease extension period on February 1, 2023. The lease also provides for allowances for tenant improvements which may be credited to rent within the first twelve-months of the Extension Term. As a result of this amendment, the Company recognized an additional right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability of $549,227. The right-of-use asset and liability recognized equals the present value of the remaining payments due under the amended lease.

Rent expense for the three and six months ended October 31, 2022 was $44,794 and $85,564, respectively, compared to $44,865 and $89,729, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2021.

The Company records right-of-use assets and liabilities at the present value of the fixed lease payments over the term at the commencement date. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate of 12% to determine the present value of the lease as the rate implicit in the lease is typically not readily available.

Information related to the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities consist of the following:


	October 31,
	2022
Right-of-use assets	$	579,649

Lease liabilities, current		31,232
Lease liabilities, net of current portion		549,227
Total lease liabilities	$	580,459

Weighted average remaining term (in years)		0.5
Weighted average discount rate		12	%

As of October 31, 2022, future maturities of lease liabilities due under lease agreements for the fiscal year ended are as follows:


April 30, 2023	$	31,859
April 30, 2024		98,053
April 30, 2025		161,164

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that the outcome of those matters will have a material adverse effect to the financial position, operating results or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance such legal proceedings will not have a material impact.

The Company is not aware of any material claims outstanding or pending against the Company as of October 31, 2022.

Royalty Agreements

In 2013, the Company entered into an agreement (“Technology Agreement”) with its founder, conveying ownership of all intellectual property and rights to the Company. As part of that agreement, the Company will make royalty payments, based upon paid MyoVista device unit sales, as follows:

$500 on each of the first 2,400 MyoVista devices; and

$200 on each MyoVista device thereafter until royalties total $3,500,000.

The royalty obligation has a first priority security interest and pledge on the covered technology (as defined in the Technology Agreement, which essentially is comprised of the intellectual property of the MyoVista device) in priority to the debt holders of the $1.5M Notes and $1M Loan and Security Agreement as discussed further in Note 4.

Upon (i) the aggregate payment of $3,000,000 of royalties; (ii) the common stock becoming publicly listed with a closing quoted share price of $68.75 per share or more; or (iii) receipt by the Company of a bona fide offer valuing the common stock at $68.75 or more, then the secured interest and pledge shall be released.

In the event of a bankruptcy of the Company, any balance of the $3,500,000 royalty not paid at that point would accelerate and become an immediately due debt obligation of the Company with the benefit of the secured interest and pledge (if it remained at such time).

In December 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with The University Court of The University of Glasgow ("Glasgow") for the license of the Glasgow algorithm interpretive analysis for the conventional ECG trace. As part of that agreement, the Company was required to make royalty payments, based upon MyoVista device unit sales dependent on sale volumes per year, and subject to minimum annual fees. To date, such amounts have been expensed to research and development as the Glasgow algorithm is an essential part of the device development as part of the submission for FDA clearance of the MyoVista device. In 2022, the Company entered into discussions with Glasgow on varying the agreement in light of the fact that prior to FDA clearance, there was no expectation of significant sales volumes. As a result of those discussions, the Company was issued credit memos from Glasgow which were applied to accrued royalty payments and required minimum annual fees. The parties are currently in discussion on a revised agreement.

Note 9. Related Parties

Note 10. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date of October 31, 2022, through the date of filing.

On November 29, 2022, we entered into a multi-year Collaboration Agreement with Rutgers, The State University, to develop AI-based ECG algorithms for new or improved ECG indications.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis is intended as a review of significant factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and the notes presented herein included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and the related notes set forth in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that are based upon our current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to inaccurate assumptions and known or unknown risks and uncertainties, including those identified in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and under “Risk Factors” as identified under Part 1, Item 1A of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K .

Overview

We are a medical technology company focused on applying innovative AI-based technology to an ECG (also known as an EKG) to expand and improve an ECG’s clinical usefulness. Our objective is to make an ECG a far more valuable cardiac screening tool, particularly in frontline or point-of-care clinical settings. HeartSciences’ first product candidate for FDA clearance, the MyoVista wavECG, or the MyoVista, is a resting 12-lead ECG that is also designed to provide diagnostic information related to cardiac dysfunction, which has traditionally only been available through the use of cardiac imaging. The MyoVista also provides conventional ECG information in the same test. Our business model, which involves the use of the MyoVista device and consumables for each test, is expected to be “razor-razorblade” as the electrodes used with the MyoVista are proprietary to HeartSciences, and new electrodes are required for every test performed. As of October 31, 2022, we had 13 full-time employees.

Our device is not cleared for marketing by the FDA and our future success is dependent upon receiving FDA De Novo clearance for the MyoVista. Additional funding may be required in order to achieve FDA clearance for the MyoVista and, if clearance is achieved, would then be required to support the sales launch of the MyoVista into the U.S., provide working capital and support further research and development, or R&D.

We believe that there is currently no low-cost, front-line, medical device that is effective at screening for heart disease. As a result, we believe that frontline physicians face a significant challenge in determining if a patient has heart disease. Although many think of the ECG as the frontline heart disease test, in 2012, the United States Preventive Services Task Force, or USPSTF, conducted an evaluation of conventional ECG testing and stated: “There is no good evidence that an ECG helps physicians predict heart risks in people with no symptoms any better than traditional considerations such as current or former smoking, blood pressure and cholesterol levels.”

ECG devices record the electrical signals of a patient’s heart. The ECG is a ubiquitous, relatively low-cost, simple and quick test; it is portable and can be performed in a wide range of clinical settings by a non-specialist clinician or clinical aide. There are three basic categories of heart disease: electrical (such as an arrhythmia), structural (such as valvular disease) and ischemic (such as coronary artery disease, or CAD). Conventional resting ECGs have limited sensitivity in detecting structural and ischemic disease and are typically used for diagnosing cardiac rhythm abnormalities, such as atrial fibrillation, also known as Afib, or acute coronary syndrome, such as a myocardial infarction, which is also known as a heart attack. However, traditional ECGs have a limited role in identifying cardiac dysfunction associated with structural and ischemic disease.

HeartSciences has designed the MyoVista to help address these limitations and extend the clinical capability of an ECG in detecting cardiac dysfunction. We apply AI-machine learning to the signal processed electrical signal of the heart. Our first algorithm, which is not yet FDA cleared, is designed to detect cardiac dysfunction caused by heart disease and/or age-related cardiac dysfunction.

The editorial comment associated with the study titled “Prediction of Abnormal Myocardial Relaxation from Signal Processed Surface ECG” presented below discusses recent applications of machine learning to data derived from surface 12-lead ECGs in relation to cardiac dysfunction:

“These are some of the most significant advances in electrocardiography since its inception, which has historically had a limited, if any, role in the evaluation of cardiac dysfunction. In the past, our cardiovascular community was resigned to the fact that surface ECGs are poor indicators for cardiac dysfunction.”

Khurram Nasir, MD, MPH, MSC, Department of Cardiology, Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center, Houston, Texas, et. al., Journal of American College of Cardiology Editorial Comment Volume 76 Number 8 2020.

Almost all forms of heart disease, including CAD and structural disease, affect heart muscle, or cardiac, function prior to symptoms. Impaired cardiac function is first observed as impaired cardiac relaxation which is an early indicator of diastolic

dysfunction and usually continues to increase in severity as heart disease progresses. The diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle occurs when the heart muscle relaxes (following contraction). Diastolic dysfunction may also be related to age-related cardiac dysfunction.

If we receive FDA clearance for the MyoVista, our main target markets would be frontline healthcare environments in the U.S., such as primary care, to assist physician decision making in the cardiology referral process. Currently, cardiology referral decisions are often based on a patient’s risk factors and/or a conventional ECG test. Accordingly, many patients with heart disease are left undetected while no treatment or intervention is required for most patients referred for cardiac imaging. We believe that adding the capability to detect cardiac dysfunction to a standard 12-lead resting ECG could help improve cardiac referral pathways and be valuable for patients, physicians, health systems and third-party payors.

New Class II devices, such as the MyoVista, require FDA De Novo premarket review. The MyoVista along with its proprietary software and hardware is classified as a Class II medical device by the FDA. Premarket review and clearance by the FDA for these devices is generally accomplished through the 510(k) premarket notification process or De Novo classification request, or petition process. We previously submitted an FDA De Novo classification request in December 2019. Based on feedback and communications with the FDA during 2020, we have been making modifications to our device and are partially through a new, pivotal clinical validation study and the device testing and development necessary for a revised FDA De Novo submission, which we expect to take place later in the fiscal year ending April 30, 2023.

We are using the funding from the IPO to continue our work towards FDA resubmission and clearance. Although our current aim is to achieve FDA clearance, which would allow us to market the MyoVista in the U.S., with the net proceeds of the IPO, there is no assurance that this will be the case. Additional funding will be required to support the sales launch of the MyoVista into the U.S., provide working capital and support further R&D. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an opinion on our audited financial statements included on our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K that contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because we have experienced recurring losses, negative cash flows from operations, and have a working capital deficiency. These events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets, and the values we receive for our assets in liquidation or dissolution could be significantly lower than the values reflected in our financial statements.

Recent Developments

Patent Assignment

In September and October 2022, we were granted two patents:

•

We were granted a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") for ECG quantification of echocardiographic measures of diastolic function of the heart using AI methods.

•

We were also granted a patent from the European Patent Office ("EPO") covering the design of the Company's electrode and cable connectors for use with an ECG, and in the MyoVista device.

Collaboration Agreement

On November 29, 2022, we entered into a multi-year Collaboration Agreement with Rutgers, The State University, to develop AI-based ECG algorithms for new or improved ECG indications, which is expected to accelerate our product development pipeline and further expand the clinical value of an ECG for low-cost detection of heart disease.

Summary of Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended October 31, 2022 compared with the three and six months ended October 31, 2021:

We had no revenue and no cost of sales for the three months ended October 31, 2022 and the three months ended October 31, 2021. Revenues were $3,000 and cost of sales were $2,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2022, representing a decline of $4,000 in revenue, or 57%, and $4,000 in cost of sales, or 65%, when compared to the same period ended October 31, 2021. Our revenues to date have been mainly generated in the establishment of distributor relationships outside the United States as part of obtaining feedback during product development and improvement. The decrease in revenue, and related decrease in cost of sales, is due to our proactive reduction in new international distributor engagement in the run up to FDA submission and until we update our

certificate of conformity, called a CE Mark, under the new European Union Medical Device Regulation regime to reflect hardware and software improvements being incorporated into the device for FDA submission.

Research and development expenses were $849,000 and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended October 31, 2022, respectively, representing an increase of $303,000, or 56%, and $336,000, or 36%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2021. This is primarily due an increase in software consulting and hardware development of approximately $69,000 and $206,000 for the three and six months ended October 31, 2022, respectively, and an increase in clinical trial studies of approximately $190,000 and $189,000 for the three and six months ended October 31, 2022, respectively, which is consistent with work being performed for device development and ongoing clinical validation studies in preparation for a new De Novo submission.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $926,000 and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended October 31, 2022, respectively, representing an increase of $515,000, or 125%, and $1.2 million, or 180%, respectively as compared to the same periods in 2021. This is primarily due to an increase of approximately $408,000 and $864,000 for the three and six months ended October 31, 2022, respectively, for preparatory expenses, or on-going expenses associated with, being a public company including investor and public relations, SEC reporting, accounting and legal, insurance, and stock registrar expenses, and an approximately $142,000 and $366,000 increase in payroll related expenses and stock compensation for the three and six months ended October 31, 2022, respectively, due to the vesting of options when compared to the same periods ended October 31, 2021.

Interest expense during the three and six months ended October 31, 2022, of $33,000 and $176,000, respectively, is related to interest on the $1M Loan and Security Agreement and interest and debt service amortization related to the Bridge Notes for approximately half of the quarter ended July 31, 2022. All of the Bridge Notes and accrued interest were converted to equity upon consummation of the IPO in June 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash requirements are, and will continue to be, dependent upon a variety of factors. We expect to continue devoting significant capital resources to R&D, clinical studies and go-to-market strategies. Our principal sources of capital are cash on hand and the proceeds of future offerings of equity and debt securities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to consummate the sale of any such securities on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

As of October 31, 2022, we had approximately $3.1 million of cash, an increase of $2.2 million from $918,000 as of April 30, 2022.

On June 17, 2022, we completed our IPO, which consisted of the sale of 1,500,000 Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and one IPO Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at a combined public offering price of $4.25 per Unit. We received approximately $5.2 million in net proceeds from the IPO after deducting the underwriting discount and commission and other IPO expenses payable by the Company of approximately $1.2 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not required to be provided by a smaller reporting company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon the most recent evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer) determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of October 31, 2022 as a result of identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The identified material weaknesses were as follows: (i) we did not maintain sufficient U.S. GAAP and SEC accounting resources commensurate with those required of a public company; (ii) we did not employ month-end financial reporting controls, which prevented timely production of accurate monthly financial reports; (iii) we did not employ proper independent review of monthly financial reports to verify that such reports are accurate and reconciled properly to the supporting documentation schedules; and (iv) we did not have strong accounting consideration and analysis over equity accounts and inventory valuation. We have taken and continue to take remedial steps to improve our internal controls over financial reporting, which includes hiring additional accounting and financial reporting personnel and implementing additional policies, procedures, and controls. Our management is monitoring the effectiveness of these and other processes, procedures and controls and will make any further changes deemed appropriate. Our management believes the foregoing actions will effectively remediate the material weaknesses. However, our material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the above controls are in place for a period of time, the controls are tested, and management concludes that these controls are properly designed and operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except as described above with respect to the remediation steps we are taking, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

There have been no material changes to the risk factors contained in Item 1A of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
