Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Business Organization, Nature of Operations
Movano Inc. (the “Company” or “Movano” or “Our”) was incorporated in Delaware on January 30, 2018 as Maestro Sensors Inc. and changed its name to Movano Inc. on August 3, 2018. The Company is in the development-stage and is developing a platform to deliver purpose-driven healthcare solutions at the intersection of medtech and consumer devices. Movano’s mission is to empower and inspire you to live a healthier, happier life.
The Company’s solutions are being developed to provide vital health information, including heart rate, HRV, sleep, respiration rate, temperature, blood oxygen saturation, steps, calories as well as glucose and blood pressure data, in a variety of form factors to meet individual style needs and give users actionable feedback to improve the quality of their life.
On April 28, 2021, the Company established Movano Ireland Limited, organized under the laws of Ireland, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Operations and activity at the wholly owned subsidiary were not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Since inception, the Company has engaged in only limited research and development of product candidates and underlying technology. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had not yet completed the development of its product and had not yet recorded any revenues.
In December 2019, a novel coronavirus and the resulting disease (“COVID-19”) was reported, and in January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. In February 2020, the WHO raised its assessment of the COVID-19 threat from high to very high at a global level due to the continued increase in the number of cases and affected countries, and in March 2020, the WHO characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The Company is continuing to ascertain the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, but given the uncertainty about the situation, the Company cannot estimate the impact to its financial statements from the economic crisis arising from COVID-19.
The Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (Reg. No. 333-252671), was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 23, 2021. The registration statement registered the securities offered in the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”). In the IPO, the Company sold 9,775,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $5.00 per share, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. The IPO closed on March 25, 2021 and the underwriters exercised their overallotment option as of March 25, 2021, as a result of which the Company raised net proceeds of $44.3 million after deducting $3.3 million in underwriting discounts, commissions, and expenses and $1.3 million in offering expenses paid by the Company. National Securities Corporation (“NSC”) was the underwriter for the IPO, and also received a warrant related to the IPO, which is discussed in Note 10. No portion of the net proceeds from the IPO were used for payments made by the Company to its directors or officers or persons owning ten percent or more of its common stock or to their associates, or to the Company’s affiliates, other than payments in the ordinary course of business to officers for salaries and to nonemployee directors as compensation for board or board committee service.
The Company has incurred losses from operations and has generated negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. The Company expects to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future as it continues the development of its technology. The Company’s ultimate success depends on the outcome of its research and development and commercialization activities, for which it expects to incur additional losses in the future. Through March 31, 2022, the Company has relied primarily on the proceeds from equity offerings to finance its operations. The Company expects to require additional financing to fund its future planned operations, including research and development and commercialization of its products. The Company will likely raise additional capital through the issuance of equity, borrowings, or strategic alliances with partner companies. However, if such financing is not available at adequate levels, the Company would need to reevaluate its operating plans.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the preceding fiscal year contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2022 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods.
Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the accrual of research and development expenses, the valuation of common stock, stock options and warrants, the valuation of the embedded redemption derivative liability and income taxes. Estimates are periodically reviewed considering changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates or assumptions.
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments
The Company invests its excess cash primarily in money market funds, commercial paper and short-term debt securities. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company classifies all marketable securities for use in current operations, even if the security matures beyond 12 months, and presents them as short-term investments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Movano Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
(Unaudited)
The Company determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. The Company has classified and accounted for the purchased marketable securities as available-for-sale. After considering the Company’s capital preservation objectives, as well as its liquidity requirements, the Company may sell securities prior to their stated maturities. The Company carries its available-for-sale short-term investments at fair value. The Company reports the unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, as a component of stockholders’ equity, except for unrealized losses determined to be credit-related, which are recorded as other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and reports an allowance for credit losses in short-term investments on the balance sheet, if any. The Company determines any realized gains or losses on the sale of short-term investments on a specific identification method and records such gains and losses as a component of other income (expense), net. Interest earned on cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments is recorded in interest and other income, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and was insignificant during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021.
The Company’s investment policy only allows purchases of high credit quality instruments and provides guidelines on concentrations and credit quality to ensure minimum risk of loss. The Company evaluates whether the unrealized loss on available-for-sale short-term investments is the result of the credit worthiness of the securities it held, or other non-credit-related factors such as liquidity by reviewing a number of factors such as the implied yield of the corporate note based on the market price, the nature of the invested entity’s business or industry, market capitalization relative to debt, changes in credit ratings, and the market prices of the instruments subsequent to the period end.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk
Cash and cash equivalents are financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk. All cash and cash equivalents are held in United States financial institutions. Cash equivalents consist of interest-bearing money market accounts. The amounts deposited in the money market accounts exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to this account and believes the associated credit risk to be minimal due to the financial condition of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held.
The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk of loss.
Convertible Financial Instruments
The Company bifurcates embedded redemption and conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as freestanding derivative financial instruments at fair value if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized to interest expense using the interest method over the earlier of the term of the related debt or their earliest date of redemption.

From time to time, the Company issues convertible financial instruments to nonemployees in payment for services that are provided. Until the services are completely rendered, the Company will expense the principal and any interest earned prior to the service completion to the representative expense account for the services performed and will record a noncurrent liability for the expected amount of the principal balance. Upon completion of the services, the Company will reclassify the noncurrent liability balance to the balance of an outstanding convertible financial instrument and assess the embedded redemption and conversion options that are applicable at that time.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
If the conversion feature of conventional convertible promissory notes provides for a rate of conversion that is below fair value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount and as additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company records all shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock at their respective issuance price less issuance costs on the dates of issuance. Under certain circumstances the Company would have been required to redeem the Series A and Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock unless an IPO had been consummated prior to April 1, 2021, or an extension or waiver was obtained upon approval of a majority of the holders of such preferred stock. As the preferred stock became redeemable due to the passage of time, the Company considered the preferred stock to be redeemable as of April 1, 2021. The Company records the accretion of the Series A and B preferred stock balances to their respective redemption amounts using the effective interest method. Upon the IPO, the redeemable convertible preferred stock converted in to 11,436,956 shares of common stock.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. As the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, the changes resulted in no provision or benefit from income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
For interim periods, the Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate and applies the estimated rate to the year-to-date income or loss before income taxes. The Company computes the tax provision or benefit related to items reported separately and recognizes the items net of their related tax effect in the interim periods in which they occur. The Company recognizes the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates in the interim periods in which the changes occur.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures equity classified stock-based awards granted to employees, directors, and nonemployees based on the estimated fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense of those awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This valuation model for stock-based compensation expense requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation including the expected term, the volatility of the Company’s common stock, and an assumed risk-free interest rate. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
Early Exercised Stock Option Liability
Upon the early exercise of stock options by employees, the Company records as a liability the purchase price of unvested common stock that the Company has a right to repurchase if and when the employment of the stockholder terminates before the end of the requisite service period. The proceeds originally recorded as a liability are reclassified to additional paid-in capital as the Company’s repurchase right lapses.
Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. The net loss attributable to common stockholders is calculated by adjusting the net loss of the Company for the accretion on the Series A and B redeemable convertible preferred stock and cumulative dividends on Series A and B redeemable convertible preferred stock. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive.

The Company adopted FASB’s ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”), as of January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective approach which provides a method for recording existing leases at the beginning of the period of adoption.
In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients and other expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification and not to restate the comparative periods prior to the adoption and to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset classes. The Company made an accounting policy election not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, including renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised, that also do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that is reasonably certain of exercise. Instead, lease payments for these leases are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The disclosures required under ASC 842 are not presented for periods before the date of adoption. For the comparative periods prior to adoption, the Company presented the disclosures which were required under the previous accounting guidance.
Operating lease right of use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of operating lease liabilities of $429,000 and ROU assets of $380,000 as of January 1, 2022. The difference between the ROU assets and lease liabilities represents the net book value of deferred rent recognized as of December 31, 2021, which was adjusted against the ROU asset upon adoption. The ROU asset is included in other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease liabilities of $166,000 and $263,000, respectively, were included in other current liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Variable lease payments for common area maintenance, property taxes and other operating expenses are recognized as expense in the period when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur.
Note 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value. The Company uses a three-level hierarchy, which prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity-specific information for fair value measurements based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Fair value focuses on an exit price and is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The inputs or methodology used for valuing financial instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those financial instruments.

A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
Level 2 – | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. |
Level 3 – | Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data. |
The Company measures its cash equivalents, short-term investments and derivative financial instruments at fair value. The Company classifies its cash equivalents and short-term investments within Level 1 or Level 2 because the Company values these investments using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. The fair value of the Company’s Level 1 financial assets is based on quoted market prices of the identical underlying security. The fair value of the Company’s Level 2 financial assets is based on inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the market, including the readily-available pricing sources for the identical underlying security that may not be actively traded.
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate. At December 31, 2020, the warrants related to the Series A preferred stock issuance, the Series B preferred stock issuance, and the convertible promissory notes and the derivative liability related to the issuance of convertible promissory notes were classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. However, these instruments are not present at March 31, 2021 in light of accounting ramifications of the IPO, which are discussed further in Note 7 and Note 8.
The carrying amounts of prepaid expenses, payroll tax credit, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The following tables provide a summary of the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands).

The Convertible Notes were convertible upon the occurrence of certain events, including upon a change in control or a next equity financing. The conversion features are described as follows:
Conversion Event | Description | Conversion Price | ||
Automatic Conversion – Next Qualified Equity Financing | Upon the closing of a Next Qualified Equity Financing (defined as greater than $5,000,000), the Convertible Notes are converted into shares issued equal to the outstanding balance divided by the Conversion Price. | An amount equal to the lower of (i) 80% of the lowest per-share selling price of such stock sold by the Company at the Next Qualified Equity Financing or (ii) the implied per share price determined by dividing $60,000,000 by the total number of Common Stock Equivalents (defined as fully diluted common shares for all outstanding securities, excluding common shares reserved for issuance or exercise of options or grants in the future) immediately prior to Next Qualified Equity Financing closing. | ||
Automatic Conversion – Change of Control (defined as consolidation or merger of the Company or transfer of a majority of share ownership or disposition of substantially all assets of the Company) | If at any time before payment or conversion of the balance, the Company effects a Change of Control, all of the balance outstanding immediately prior to such Change of Control will automatically convert into the most senior series of Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Change of Control at the Conversion Price. | An amount equal to the implied per share price determined by dividing $60,000,000 by the total number of Common Stock Equivalents immediately prior to such Change of Control. | ||
Automatic Conversion – Maturity Date | If the Company has not paid or otherwise converted the entire balance before the Maturity Date, then on the Maturity Date, all of the balance then outstanding will automatically convert into the most senior series of Preferred Stock outstanding as of the Maturity Date at the Conversion Price then in effect. | An amount equal to the implied per share price determined by dividing $60,000,000 by the total number of Common Stock Equivalents as of the Maturity Date. | ||
Automatic Conversion – IPO | If at any time before payment or conversion of the balance, the Company consummates an IPO, all of the balance outstanding immediately prior to the IPO will automatically convert into Common Stock at the Conversion Price. | An amount equal to the lower of (i) 80% of the lowest per-share selling price of the Common Stock sold by the Company in an IPO or (ii) the implied per share price determined by dividing $60,000,000 by the total number of Common Stock Equivalents immediately prior to closing of an IPO. |

Conversion Event | Description | Conversion Price | ||
Optional Conversion | If at any time while the Convertible Notes are still outstanding the Company sells stock in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions that does not constitute a Next Qualified Equity Financing (and thus is defined as a Non-qualified Financing), then, at the closing of the Nonqualified Financing, the balance then outstanding may be converted, at the option of the holder, into that number of shares of Non-qualified Preferred Stock (preferred stock sold in the Non-qualified Financing) determined by dividing (i) the balance by (ii) the Conversion Price then in effect. | An amount equal to the lowest per share selling price of Nonqualified Preferred Stock sold by the Company for new cash investment in the Non-Qualified Financing. |
As part of the Convertible Note financing, the Company agreed to issue subordinated convertible promissory notes to nonemployees in exchange for services totaling $747,000.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, nonemployee services of $50,000 were completed, which were recorded as a component of other noncurrent liabilities. In connection with the IPO, a Convertible Note for $500,000 was issued for nonemployee services and $300,000 of the nonemployee services that remained to be completed was recorded in prepaid and other current expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company calculated a BCF of approximately $500,000 upon the issuance of this Convertible Note.
In connection with the Convertible Notes, the Company issued 10,000 and 204,500 warrants to purchase common stock, to a noteholder and its brokers, respectively. The warrants have a five-year life and are initially exercisable into common stock at $2.97 per share. (See Note 10 – Common Stock Warrants for fair value computation and discussion of the change in the exercise price). During March 2021, 42,220 of these warrants to purchase common stock were cancelled.
Issuance costs and commissions to brokers to obtain the Convertible Notes were recorded as a debt discount in the amount of approximately $83,000 and $612,000, respectively.
The Company determined that the terms that would result in Convertible Notes automatically converting at (i) 80% of the lowest per-share selling price of the stock sold by the Company in the Next Qualified Equity Financing or (ii) 80% of the lowest per-share selling price of the Conversion Stock sold by the Company in an IPO are deemed a redemption feature. The Company also concluded that those redemption features require bifurcation from the Convertible Notes and subsequent accounting in the same manner as a freestanding derivative. Accordingly, subsequent changes in the fair value of these redemption features are measured at each reporting period and recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The sum of the fair value of the warrants, the fair value of the embedded redemption derivative liability, issuance costs, BCF and commission payments for the Convertible Notes were recorded as debt discounts to be amortized to interest expense over the respective term using the effective interest method. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized interest expense of approximately $0.8 million, from the accretion of those debt discounts.

The Convertible Notes automatically converted upon the closing of the IPO at the implied per share price determined by dividing $60,000,000 by the total number of Common Stock Equivalents immediately prior to the closing of the IPO. The outstanding principal ($12.5 million) and interest due ($0.4 million) under the Convertible Notes, in an aggregate amount of $12.9 million, was converted into 5,015,494 shares of the Company’s common stock at the implied per share conversion of $2.5736. The carrying value of the Convertible Notes was credited to common stock and additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The remaining unamortized discount of $0.4 million was recorded to additional paid-in capital and no gain or loss was recognized on the conversion. The remaining unamortized discount related to the BCF of $0.5 million was recognized immediately as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Derivative Liability
As described above, the redemption provisions embedded in the Convertible Notes required bifurcation and measurement at fair value as a derivative. The fair value of the Convertible Note embedded redemption derivative liability was calculated by determining the value of the debt component of the Convertible Notes at various conversion or maturity dates using a Probability Weighted Expected Return valuation method. The fair value calculation placed greater probability on the occurrence of the conversion or the maturity date scenario, with little or no weight given to other scenarios. The fair value of the embedded redemption derivative liability is significantly influenced by the discount rate, the remaining term to maturity and the Company’s assumptions related to the probability of a qualified financing or no financing prior to maturity. The Financing Date is the estimated date of an automatic conversion as the result of a Next Qualified Equity Financing or an IPO.
The embedded redemption derivative liability no longer had significant value as of the date of the Company’s IPO since the conversion of the Convertible Notes occurred via a redemption feature that was not bifurcated as a derivative. Upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes at the IPO, the Company recorded a final change in the fair value of the derivative liability of $0.1 million in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, and the derivative liability was extinguished.
The changes in the fair value of the derivative liability for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were as follows (in thousands):
Warrant Issuance | December 31, 2020 | Fair Value at issuance date | Change in fair value | March 31, 2021 | ||||||||||||

Note 8 – REDEEMABLE Convertible Preferred Stock
On March 28, 2019, the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State which (i) increased the number of shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue to 22,069,652; (ii) increased the number of shares of preferred stock the Company was authorized to issue to 7,930,348, of which 2,692,253 shares were designated as Series A preferred stock and 5,238,095 shares were designated as Series B preferred stock; (iii) amended and set a fixed conversion price of Series A preferred stock to $1.40; and (iv) extended the IPO Commitment Date from April 1, 2020 to no later than March 31, 2021.
The Series B preferred stock was measured and recorded at the transaction price net of issuance costs, resulting in an initial value of $9.3 million. The accretion to the carrying value of the Series B preferred stock was recorded as a charge to additional paid in capital. The accumulated accretion as of the IPO date was $11.5 million, which resulted in an adjusted Series B preferred stock carrying value of $20.8 million.
The accretion to the carrying value of the Series A preferred stock was recorded as a charge to additional paid-in capital. The accumulated accretion as of the IPO date was $8.2 million, which resulted in an adjusted Series A preferred stock carrying value of $14.5 million.
Upon the IPO, the redeemable convertible preferred stock converted in to 11,436,956 shares of common stock and no shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock remain outstanding as of March 31, 2022.
On March 24, 2021, the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State which (i) eliminated the Company’s Series A and Series B preferred stock, (ii) increased the authorized number of shares of common stock to 75,000,000 and (iii) authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock at par value of $0.0001 per share. The significant rights and preferences of the preferred stock will be established by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) upon issuance of any such series of preferred stock in the future.

Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements
In 2018, 400,000 shares were issued to the Company’s founder at inception pursuant to a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement. The Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement stipulates that in the event of the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Company’s founder’s continuous service status for any reason (including death or disability), with or without cause, the Company or its assignees(s) shall have an option (“Repurchase Option”) to repurchase all or any portion of the shares held by the Purchaser as of the termination date which have not yet been released from the Company’s Repurchase Option at the original purchase price of $0.0125 per share. Shares are to be released from the Repurchase Option over four years. The initial 12/48ths of the shares were released on January 30, 2019, and an additional 1/48th of the shares are being released monthly thereafter. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, none and 8,333 of the shares issued to the Company’s founder remain subject to the Repurchase Option, respectively. These shares were originally purchased by the Company’s founder at $0.0125 per share.
In 2018, 3,640,000 shares were also issued pursuant to a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement. The holders of these shares are considered related parties of the Company because the holders are directly related either to the founder or to the legal counsel of the Company. The same terms described above apply to these issuances. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, none and 75,833 of the shares issued to these holders remain subject to the Repurchase Option, respectively. These shares were originally purchased by the holders at $0.0125 per share.
Early Exercised Stock Option Liability
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, zero and 50,000 shares, respectively, were issued upon the early exercise of common stock options. The Exercise Notice (Early Exercise) Agreement states that the Company has the option to repurchase all or a portion of the unvested shares in the event of the separation of the holder from service to the Company. The shares continue to vest in accordance with the original vesting schedules of the former option agreements.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has recorded a repurchase liability for approximately $241,000 and $281,000 for 485,835 and 567,397 shares that remain unvested, respectively. The weighted average remaining vesting period is approximately 1.7 years.

Underwriter Warrants
In connection with the IPO, the Company issued the underwriter a warrant to purchase shares of common stock equal to 9.79% of the shares of common stock sold in the IPO or 956,973 shares. The warrant is exercisable at $6.00 per share and has a 5-year term. Additionally, the underwriter has contractually agreed that it will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate this warrant or the securities underlying this warrant, nor will it engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of this warrant or the underlying securities for a period of 540 days (approximately 18 months) from the IPO.

Warrants Classified as Liabilities
Preferred A Placement Warrants and Preferred B Placement Warrants
The Preferred A Placement Warrants and Preferred B Placement Warrants were initially classified as a derivative liability because their variable terms did not qualify these as being indexed to the Company’s own common stock and will be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
As a result of the conversion of the Preferred Stock into common stock in connection with the IPO, and the related impact of the Preferred A Adjustment Provision and the Preferred B Adjustment Provision, the number of warrant shares that are convertible is no longer variable. Accordingly, the Preferred A Placement Warrants and Preferred B Placement Warrants were determined to be indexed to the Company’s own common stock and will no longer be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Instead, the Preferred A Placement Warrants and the Preferred B Placement Warrants were determined to be equity instruments, and the liability was recorded at fair value with the change in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and reclassified to additional paid-in capital at their estimated fair value at the IPO date.
Convertible Notes Placement Warrants
The Convertible Notes Placement Warrants were classified as a derivative liability because the exercise price was variable, thus these did not qualify as being indexed to the Company’s own common stock and were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
As a result of the conversion of the Convertible Notes into common stock in connection with the IPO, the exercise price is no longer variable. Accordingly, the Convertible Notes Placement Warrants were determined to be indexed to the Company’s own common stock and will no longer be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Instead the Convertible Notes Placement Warrants were determined to be equity instruments, and the liability was recorded at fair value with the change in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and reclassified to additional paid-in capital at their estimated fair value at the IPO date.

Estimated Fair Value of Outstanding Warrants Classified as Liabilities
The estimated fair value of outstanding warrants classified as liabilities is determined at each balance sheet date. Any decrease or increase in the estimated fair value of the warrant liability since the most recent balance sheet date is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as a change in fair value of warrant liability.
There were no warrants classified as liabilities outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The changes in fair value of the outstanding warrants classified as liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were as follows (in thousands):
Warrant Issuance | Warrant liability, December 31, 2020 | Fair value of warrants granted | Fair value of warrants exercised | Change in fair value of warrants | Reclassified to additional paid-in capital | Warrant liability, March 31, 2021 | ||||||||||||||||||
Preferred A Placement Warrants | $ | 518 | $ | $ | $ | 575 | $ | (1,093 | ) | $ | ||||||||||||||

$ | 1,549 | $ | $ | $ | 1,581 | $ | (3,130 | ) | $ |
The fair values of the outstanding warrants accounted for as liabilities at the IPO date are calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
Black-Scholes Fair Value Assumptions at IPO Date | ||||||||||||||||
Warrant Issuance | Dividend Yield | Expected Volatility | Risk-Free Interest Rate | Expected Life | ||||||||||||
Preferred A Placement Warrants | % | 59.21 | % | 0.14 | % | 2.0 years | ||||||||||

Convertible Note Placement Warrants | % | 52.28 | % | 0.82 | % | 4.4 years |
Upon the conversion of the redeemable convertible preferred stock and the Convertible Notes into common stock at the IPO date, the estimated fair value of the outstanding warrants accounted for as liabilities of $3.1 million was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
Warrants Classified as Equity
Certain warrants are classified as equity instruments since they do not meet the characteristics of a liability or a derivative and are recorded at fair value on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions. The fair value as determined at the issuance date is recorded as an issuance cost of the related stock. Those warrants and the assumptions used to calculate the fair value at issuance are as follows for the warrants issued during the three months ended March 31, 2021. There were no warrants issued during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Note 11 – Stock-based Compensation
2019 Equity Incentive Plan
Effective as of November 18, 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2019 Plan”) administered by the Board. The 2019 Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, and restricted stock awards, for the purchase of up to a total of 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to employees, directors, and consultants and replaces the previous plan. The Board or a committee of the Board has the authority to determine the amount, type, and terms of each award. The options granted under the 2019 Plan generally have a contractual term of ten years and a vesting term of four years with a one-year cliff. The exercise price for options granted under the 2019 Plan must generally be at least equal to 100% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, as determined by the Board. The incentive stock options granted under the 2019 Plan to 10% or greater stockholders must have an exercise price at least equal to 110% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, as determined by the Board, and have a contractual term of ten years.
In connection with the closing of the IPO, effective as of March 25, 2021 the 2019 Plan was amended and restated as a result of which the aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2019 Plan was increased from 6,000,000 to 7,400,000.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had 55,822 shares available for future grant pursuant to the 2019 Plan.
2021 Employment Inducement Plan
On September 15, 2021 the Company’s Board adopted the Movano, Inc. 2021 Inducement Award Plan (the “Inducement Plan”) without stockholder approval pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC listing rules (“Rule 5635(c)(4)”). In accordance with Rule 5635(c)(4), awards under the Inducement Plan may only be made to a newly hired employee who has not previously been a member of the Company’s Board, or an employee who is being rehired following a bona fide period of non-employment by the Company or a subsidiary, as a material inducement to the employee’s entering into employment with the Company or its subsidiary. An aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Inducement Plan. The Company will continue to grant awards under the 2019 Plan pursuant to the terms thereof. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, awards totaling 720,000 were issued under the Inducement Plan.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had 1,280,000 shares available for future grant under the Inducement Plan.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
(Unaudited)
The Company estimated the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the stock options was estimated using the following weighted average assumptions for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
2022 | 2021 | |||||||
Dividend yield | % | % | ||||||
Expected volatility | 61.98 | % | 67.70 | % | ||||
Risk-free interest rate | 1.90 | % | 0.64 | % | ||||
Expected life | 6.03 years | 6.05 years |
Dividend Rate—The expected dividend rate was assumed to be zero, as the Company had not previously paid dividends on common stock and has no current plans to do so.
Expected Volatility—The expected volatility was derived from the historical stock volatilities of several public companies within the Company’s industry that the Company considers to be comparable to the business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants.
Risk-Free Interest Rate—The risk-free interest rate is based on the interest yield in effect at the date of grant for zero coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the option’s expected term.
Expected Term—The expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock options are expected to be outstanding. The expected term of option grants that are considered to be “plain vanilla” are determined using the simplified method. The simplified method deems the term to be the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the options. For other option grants not considered to be “plain vanilla,” the Company determined the expected term to be the contractual life of the options.
Forfeiture Rate—The Company recognizes forfeitures when they occur.
The Company has recorded stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 related to the issuance of stock option awards to employees and nonemployees in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as follows (in thousands):

As of March 31, 2022, unamortized compensation expense related to unvested stock options was approximately $8.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.9 years.

Litigation
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various litigation and administrative proceedings relating to claims arising from its operations in the normal course of business. Management is not currently aware of any matters that may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Indemnification
The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless and agrees to reimburse the indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, in connection with any trade secret, copyright, patent or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to its technology. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual after the execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these agreements is not determinable because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made. The Company has not incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are intended to be covered by the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “seek,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “strategy”, “future”, “likely” or other comparable terms and references to future periods. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Form 10-Q regarding our strategies, prospects, financial condition, operations, costs, plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding expectations for revenues, cash flows and financial performance, the anticipated results of our development efforts, product features and the timing for receipt of required regulatory approvals and product launches.
Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:
● | our limited operating history and our ability to achieve profitability; | |
● | our ability to continue as a going concern and our need for and ability to obtain additional capital in the future: |
● | our ability to demonstrate the feasibility of and develop products and their underlying technologies; |
● | the impact of competitive or alternative products, technologies and pricing; |
● | the impact of the COVID-19 on our business and local and global economic conditions; |
● | our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel; |
● | our dependence on consultants to assist in the development of our technologies; |
● | our ability to manage the growth of our Company and to realize the benefits from any acquisitions or strategic alliances we may enter in the future; |
● | our dependence on the successful commercialization of our proposed solution; |
● | our dependence on third parties to design, manufacture, market and distribute our proposed products; |
● | the adequacy of protections afforded to us by the patents that we own and the success we may have in, and the cost to us of, maintaining, enforcing and defending those patents; |
● | our ability to obtain, expand and maintain patent protection in the future, and to protect our non-patented intellectual property; |
25
● | the impact of any claims of intellectual property infringement, trade secret misappropriation, product liability, product recalls or other claims; |
● | our need to secure required FCC, FDA and other regulatory approvals from governmental authorities in United States; |
● | the impact of healthcare regulations and reform measures; |
● | the accuracy of our estimates of market size for our planned solution; |
● | our ability to implement and maintain effective control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures; |
● | our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items. |
The risks included above are not exhaustive. Other important risks and uncertainties are described in the Risk Factors and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations sections of the 2021 Form 10-K and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
Overview
Movano is developing a platform to deliver purpose-driven healthcare solutions at the intersection of medtech and consumer devices. Our mission is to empower and inspire you to live a healthier, happier life.
Our proprietary platform uses RF technology, which we believe will enable the creation of low-cost and scalable sensors that are small enough to fit into wearables and other small form factors. Combined with our mobile app and cloud infrastructure, we expect that our platform will provide users with the ability to measure and continuously monitor vital health data and provide actionable feedback to jumpstart changes in behaviors.
Our platform is the foundation for our first product in development, the Movano Ring. The smart ring and its accompanying app will combine vital health metrics with personalized intelligent feedback and is designed for women of all ages, who are traditionally an afterthought when it comes to wearable technology. Once developed, we expect the Ring will measure heart rate, HRV, sleep, respiration rate, temperature, blood oxygen saturation, steps, calories and incorporate women-centric features and design. The device will provide users and their network of caregivers with continuous health data distilled down to simple, yet meaningful, insights to help users make manageable lifestyle changes and take a more proactive approach that could mitigate the risks of chronic disease. A fundamental part of our corporate development strategy is to establish one or more strategic partnerships that would allow us to more fully exploit the potential of our technology.
On April 28, 2021, the Company established Movano Ireland Limited, organized under the laws of Ireland, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Financial Operations Overview
We are a development stage company with a limited operating history. To date, we have invested substantially all of our efforts and financial resources into the research and development of the products we are developing, including conducting clinical studies and related general and administrative costs. To date, we have funded our operations primarily from the sale of our equity securities.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement - Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842) which requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet by recording a right-of-use asset and lease liability. We adopted this new guidance as of January 1, 2022 and applied the modified retrospective approach, whereby prior comparative periods will not be retrospectively presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. We elected the package of practical expedients not to reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases and lease classification and the lessee practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset classes. We made a policy election to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases for all asset classes. See Note 12 Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements covered under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details.
Upon adoption on January 1, 2022, we recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases of $380,000 and $429,000, respectively. The difference between the right-of-use asset and lease liability primarily represents the net book value of deferred rent recognized as of December 31, 2021, which was adjusted against the right-of-use asset upon adoption.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to those disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on a basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not generated any revenues from operations since inception, and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. We have experienced operating losses and negative operating cash flows since inception and expect to continue to do so. We have financed our working capital requirements during this period through the sale of equity securities and convertible notes.
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $27.7 million and $33.6 million, respectively, available to fund our ongoing business activities. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments as of March 31, 2022 will be sufficient to fund our projected operating requirements for at least 12 months. However, such cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are not expected to be sufficient to enable us to complete the development and commercialization of our proposed planned solution. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for at least the next several years. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:
● | advance the engineering design and development of our proposed wearable and other potential products; |
● | prepare applications required for marketing approval of our proposed planned solution in the United States; |
● | develop our plans for manufacturing, distributing and marketing our proposed wearable and other potential products; and |
● | add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product development, planned commercialization efforts and our operation as a public company. |
Until we can generate a sufficient amount of revenue from our planned products, if ever, we expect to finance future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or corporate collaborations and licensing arrangements. Additional funds may not be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our research or development programs or our commercialization efforts. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience additional dilution, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. To the extent that we raise additional funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to our technologies or applications or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. We may seek to access the public or private capital markets whenever conditions are favorable, even if we do not have an immediate need for additional capital at that time.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We are responsible for maintaining disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on our management’s evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer) of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2022, the end of the period covered by this report.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We identified one material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting at March 31, 2022 related to ineffective design and operation of our financial close and reporting controls. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over certain account reviews and analyses and certain information technology general controls. Although we are making efforts to remediate these issues, these efforts may not be sufficient to avoid similar material weaknesses in the future.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of control effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
