NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
HeartBeam, Inc. (“HeartBeam” or the “Company”) is a cardiac technology company focusing on developing and commercializing higher resolution ambulatory Electrocardiogram (“ECG”) solutions that enable the detection and monitoring of cardiac disease outside a healthcare facility setting. The Company’s ability to develop higher resolution ECG solutions is achieved through the development of the Company’s proprietary and patented Vector Electrocardiography (“VECG”) technology platform. HeartBeam’s VECG is capable of developing three-dimensional (3D) images of cardiac electrical activity by displaying the spatial locations of ECG waveforms that demonstrated in early studies to deliver equal or superior diagnostic capability than traditional hospital-based ECG systems.

The Company has validated this novel technology and is seeking U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance of its initial telehealth products during 2023.

The Company was incorporated in 2015 as a Delaware corporation. The Company’s operations are based in Santa Clara, California and operates as one segment.

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 potential need to obtain additional capital, competition from larger companies, other technology 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 March 31, 2023 the Company has a cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $1.0 million. In May 2023, the Company closed a $25.0 million secondary offering with Public Ventures, LLC. (“PV”) acting as sole placement agent, resulting in proceeds of $23.2 million net of fees and expenses, as well a Registered Direct Offering of $1.4 million net of expenses. Following the secondary offering, the Company believes that the existing cash is sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months following the issuance of these condensed unaudited financial statements, alleviating substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In February 2023, the Company entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“AGP”) pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell, from time to time, shares of our common stock having an initial aggregate offering price of up to $13.0 million in at-the-market offerings (“ATM”) sales. At the same time, the Company filed a prospectus supplement under a shelf registration on Form S-3 relating to the Sales Agreement. AGP will act as sales agent and will be paid a 3% commission on each sale under the Sales Agreement. The Company’s common stock will be sold at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, and, as a result, prices will vary.

In February 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement and a note purchase agreement (“SPA”, NPA” or together “Agreements”) with Maverick Capital Partners, LLC (“Maverick” or “Investor”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, as amended, the Company agreed to sell up to $4,000,000 of the Company’s common stock at 75% of the average calculated Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) per share during a Drawdown Pricing Period as defined in the Agreements. The Company received net proceeds of $500,000 and filed a prospectus supplement under a shelf registration on Form S-3. The Company has no further plans to use this facility which expires May 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2023 there was approximately $12.5 million available for issuance under the ATM following the use of the shelf registration on Form S-3 for the SPA and the ATM during the quarter.

The Company’s continued operations will depend on its ability to raise additional capital through various potential sources, such as equity and/or debt financings, strategic relationships and revenue. The Company expects no material commercial revenue in 2023. 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.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed 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 Commission (“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 condensed 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 condensed unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2023 (“2022 Annual Report”).

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash deposits. The Company maintains its cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and has cash balances in accounts which exceed the federally insured limits as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based on amounts that differ from those estimates.

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 stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, including stock options and warrants to the extent dilutive. Basic net loss per share was the same as diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 as the inclusion of all potential common shares outstanding would have an anti-dilutive effect.

In accordance with ASC 260-10-45-13, exercisable penny options are included in the calculation of weighted average basic and diluted earnings per share. As of March 31, 2023, 169,585 penny options have been included in the calculation of weighted average basic and diluted earnings per share.

The following is a summary of awards outstanding as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, which are not included in the computation of basic and diluted weighted average shares:

On March 9, 2023 the Convertible Note was settled upon the execution of the SPA and related issuance of 200,105 shares of common stock pursuant to the SPA draw down notice dated March 9, 2023. These shares of common stock were registered under the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 dated February 10, 2023 and the related prospectus supplement dated March 9, 2023, whereby, the Company received total proceeds of $500,000.

On February 1, 2023, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement with certain investors to issue and sell through the sales agent shares of the Company’s common stock. The issuance and sale of shares of Common Stock to or through the sales agent will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement dated February 2, 2023. The Company shall pay to the sales agent in cash, upon each sale of placement shares through the sales agent pursuant to the Sales Agreement, an amount equal to 3.00% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of placement shares. In connection to the Sales Agreement, on February 17, 2023 and February 22, 2023, the Company sold 6,184 shares at $3.76 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $23,000.

Total stock issuance costs, which consist primarily of legal, accounting and underwriting fees in connection with the above stated transactions was approximately $174,000, which has been used to offset against the proceeds. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, deferred offering costs of $29,000 were recorded in additional paid in capital. The remainder of the amount approximately $144,000 will be charged to paid in capital over the use of the facility.

Overview

We are a medical technology company primarily focusing on developing and commercializing higher resolution ambulatory Electrocardiogram (“ECG”) solutions that enable the detection and monitoring of cardiac disease outside a healthcare facility setting. Our ability to develop higher resolution ECG solutions is achieved through the development of our proprietary and patented Vector Electrocardiography (“VECG”) technology platform. Our VECG technology is capable of developing three-dimensional (3D) images of cardiac electrical activity by displaying the spatial locations of ECG waveforms that has demonstrated in early studies to deliver equal or superior diagnostic capability than traditional hospital based ECG systems.

Our aim is to deliver ambulatory cardiac health monitoring technologies that can be used for patients anywhere, especially where critical cardiac care decisions need to be made on a more timely basis. Our Products require Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance and have not been cleared for marketing.

We believe our Products and services will benefit many stakeholders, including patients, healthcare providers, and healthcare payors. We are developing our telehealth Product (“HeartBeam AIMIGoTM”), to address the rapidly growing field of ambulatory cardiac health monitoring. HeartBeam AIMIGo is comprised of a credit card sized electrocardiogram device and other powerful cloud-based diagnostic expert software systems. We believe that we are uniquely positioned to play a central role in remote monitoring of high-risk coronary artery disease patients, because the initial studies have shown that our ischemia detection system may be more accurate than existing ambulatory cardiac health monitoring solutions.

We are also applying our software platform to create a tool for detecting heart attacks in the Emergency Department (“ED”) environment using standard 12-lead ECG recordings. The software tool, (“HeartBeam AIMITM”) is designed to enable emergency physicians to more accurately and quickly diagnose heart attacks than currently available tools. Market clearance of this Product will precede that of HeartBeam AIMIGo.

To date, we have developed working prototypes for both HeartBeam AIMIGo and HeartBeam AIMI. HeartBeam AIMI has been submitted for FDA 510(k) clearance and we have received questions from the FDA within the statutory 30-day review deadline. We have discussed the questions related to our submission, provided written responses as appropriate and continue to have further discussions via teleconference with the FDA review team regarding any remaining questions.

The custom software and hardware of our Products, we believe, are classified as Class II medical devices by the FDA, running on an FDA registered Class I software platform. Class II medical devices are those for which general controls alone are insufficient to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness and there is sufficient information to establish special controls. Special controls can include performance standards, post-market surveillance, patient histories and FDA guidance documents. Premarket review and clearance by the FDA for these devices is generally accomplished through the 510(k) or 510(k) de-novo premarket notification process

HeartBeam has ten issued U.S. patents (U.S. 10,433,744, U.S. 10,117,592, U.S. 11,071,490, U.S. 11,419,538, U.S. 11,445,963, U.S. 11,529,085, U.S. 10,980,433, U.S. 11,412,972, U.S. and 11,234,658), and five pending U.S applications. Four of the pending applications have been published, the remaining two pending cases are unpublished. Outside of the U.S., HeartBeam has four issued patents in Germany, France, Netherlands and United Kingdom and seven pending applications in Canada, China, the European Union (“EU”), Japan and Australia. HeartBeam has three pending Patent Cooperation Treaty applications. The issued patents are predicted to expire between April 11, 2036 and April 21, 2042.

As of March 31, 2023, we had 10 employees. We intend to hire or engage additional full-time professionals, employees, and / or consultants in alignment with our growth strategy. Although the market is highly competitive for attracting and

retaining highly qualified professionals in our industry, we continue our endeavor to find such candidates for our Company. Our management team and additional personnel that we may hire in the future will be primarily responsible for executing and implementing growth opportunities, making tactical decisions related to our strategy and pursuing opportunities to invest in new technologies through strategic partnerships and acquisitions.

Recent Developments

In May 2023, we completed a sale of $26.5 million from a secondary offering of 16,666,666 shares and a Registered Direct Offering of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock. We received net proceeds of $24.6 million from the offerings, after deducting the placement agent fees on the secondary offering and offering expenses.

Other Transactions and Events:

Stock Purchase Agreement and Note Purchase Agreement

In February 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement and a note purchase agreement (“SPA”, NPA” or together “Agreements”) with Maverick Capital Partners, LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, as amended, the Company agreed to sell up to $4,000,000 of the Company’s common stock at 75% of the average calculated Volume Weighted Average Price per share during a Drawdown Pricing Period as defined in the Agreements. The Company received net proceeds of $500,000 and filed a prospectus supplement under a shelf registration on Form S-3. The Company has no further plans to use this facility which expires May 31, 2023.

ATM Program

On February 10, 2023, we entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners as placement agent pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell, from time to time, shares of our common stock having an initial aggregate offering price of up to $13.0 million in at-the-market offerings (“ATM”) sales. The issuance and sale of these placement shares are made under the Sales Agreement pursuant to our effective “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-269520). There were 6,184 shares issued under the ATM during the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023 there was approximately $12.5 million available for issuance under the ATM following the use of the shelf registration on Form S-3 for the Agreements and the ATM during the quarter.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have adopted and maintain 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. Our 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) identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses identified to date include (i) policies and procedures which are not yet adequately documented, (ii) lack of proper approval processes and review processes and documentation for such reviews, (iii) insufficient GAAP experience regarding complex transactions and reporting, and (iv) insufficient number of staff to maintain optimal segregation of duties and levels of oversight. As of March 31, 2023, based on evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described above, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that the condensed unaudited financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly presents in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in this quarterly report.

We have taken and continue to take remedial steps to improve our internal controls over financial reporting, which includes hiring additional personnel, we will continue to assess the weaknesses as these individuals progress through our onboarding process. We also continue to expand the functionality of our internal accounting systems to provide for higher levels of automation and assurance in our financial reporting function.

Changes in Internal Control

There has been no change in our internal control procedures over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
