Movano Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Business Organization, Nature of Operations
Movano Inc., dba Movano Health (the “Company”, “Movano”, “Movano Health”, “we”, “us” 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 medical and consumer devices. Movano is on a mission to make medical grade data more accessible and actionable for all.
The Company’s solutions are being developed to provide vital health information, including heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), sleep, respiration rate, temperature, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), steps, and 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 their quality of 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Since inception, the Company has engaged in only limited research and development of product candidates and underlying technology and the commercialization of our first proposed commercial product, the Evie Ring. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had not yet completed its first product launch and had not yet recorded any revenues.
On February 6, 2023, the Company completed a $7.5 million underwritten public offering of 5,340,600 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase up to 2,670,300 shares of common stock, including the full exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option. The warrants were offered at the rate of one warrant for every two shares of purchased common stock and are exercisable at a price per share of $1.57. The public offering price per share, before the underwriters’ discount and commissions, for each share of common stock and accompanying warrant was $1.40. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $6.7 million (See Note 8).
On June 15, 2023, the Company completed a $9.2 million underwritten public offering of 9,200,000 shares of its common stock, including the full exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option. The public offering price per share, before the underwriters’ discount and commissions, for each share of common stock was $1.00. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $8.1 million (See Note 8).
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 September 30, 2023, 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.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses and has an accumulated deficit of $118.4 million as of September 30, 2023. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales. The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to obtain additional funding sources. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued.
Adequate additional financing may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital and/or enter into strategic alliances when needed or on attractive terms, it would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate its product or any commercialization efforts. There can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts will result in the resolution of the Company’s liquidity needs. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

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, 2023 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 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, 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. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not hold any short-term investments.

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. Substantially 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. Further, the Company has amounts in excess of federally insured limits as of September 30, 2023 at one financial institution that totaled approximately $0.2 million. 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 is dependent on third-party manufacturers to supply products for research and development activities. These programs could be adversely affected by a significant interruption in the supply of such materials.
The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk of loss.
Warrants
Warrants are accounted for as either equity-classified or liability-classified instructions based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financing instruments and met the definition of a derivative or a liability and whether the warrants meet all the requirements for equity classification. The assessment, which requires the use of professional judgement, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding. If the warrant does meet the characteristics of a liability or a derivative, the warrant is measured at fair value. The derivative liabilities are remeasured at each period end, on a recurring basis, to the estimated fair value with the changes in fair value reflected as current period income or loss until the warrant is exercised, extinguished, or expires. If the warrant does not meet the characteristics of a liability or a derivative, the warrant is classified as equity and recorded at its fair value on the date of issuance. The fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or the Monte Carlo methodology which contain estimates and assumptions that require careful consideration and judgment.
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.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or implicitly contains a lease at inception based on the lease definition, and if the lease is classified as an operating lease or finance lease in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date for existing leases based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term using an estimated discount rate.
For leases which do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments over a similar term. In determining the estimated incremental borrowing rate, the Company considers relevant banking rates and the Company’s costs incurred for underwriting discounts and financing costs in its previous equity financings. The ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. For operating leases, lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease and non-lease components within a contract are generally accounted for separately. Short-term leases of twelve months or less, if any. are expensed as incurred which approximates the straight-line basis due to the short-term nature of the leases.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
The Company accounts for unrecognized tax benefits using a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company establishes a liability for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. The Company records an income tax liability, if any, for the difference between the benefit recognized and measured and the tax position taken or expected to be taken on the Company’s tax returns. To the extent that the assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. The liability is adjusted considering changing facts and circumstances, such as the outcome of a tax audit. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of liability provisions and changes to the liability that are considered appropriate. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.
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.
Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) — Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The amendments in this update reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, resulting in fewer embedded conversion features being recognized separately from their host contracts. The pronouncement also revises the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity and improves the consistency of earnings per share calculations as that relates to convertible instruments. The Company has early-adopted this pronouncement as of January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective method of transition. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financials.
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.

(Unaudited)
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 at fair value. The Company classifies its cash equivalents 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.
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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

Warrants Classified as Equity
All of the Company’s outstanding 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.
January and February 2023 Warrants
The warrants are classified as an equity instrument because they are both indexed to the Company’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the warrants continue to be classified in equity. The fair value at the issuance date was calculated utilizing the Monte Carlo univariate pricing model, which simulates a distribution of stock prices for Movano throughout the remaining performance period, based on certain assumptions of stock price behavior.
The following major assumptions were used: (1) the stock price of the Company follows a geometric Brownian motion; (2) the daily stock price for the Company is simulated until the termination date using a volatility estimate based on term-match daily stock price returns of peer companies; and (3) the valuation is done under a risk-neutral framework using the term-matched zero-coupon risk-free interest rate.

On June 21, 2022, the Company granted an award of 100,000 options to the Company’s founder at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The options would have vested in full upon the shipment of 20,000 product units on or before June 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company has not recognized stock compensation expense of approximately $100,000 related to this award as the successful achievement of the performance condition was not probable, and the award has been cancelled.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||
2023 | 2022 | |||||||
Dividend yield | % | % | ||||||
Expected volatility | 61.88 | % | 61.91 | % | ||||
Risk-free interest rate | 3.73 | % | 2.63 | % | ||||
Expected life | 5.97 years | 6.07 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 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 September 30, 2023, unamortized compensation expense related to unvested stock options (excluding the performance award previously described above) was approximately $5.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 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.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of the individual.
No amounts associated with such indemnifications have been recorded as of September 30, 2023.
Non-cancelable Obligations
The Company also had approximately $10,000 of non-cancelable contractual commitments as of September 30, 2023, primarily related to its vendor arrangements. These commitments are generally due within one to three months.

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; |
● | 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; |
● | the impact of macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including increases in prices caused by rising inflation; |
● | our dependence on the successful commercialization of the Evie Ring; |
● | 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; |
● | the impact of any claims of intellectual property infringement, trade secret misappropriation, product liability, product recalls or other claims; |
21
● | 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 products; |
● | 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 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 to bring medical-grade, high-quality data to the forefront of consumer health devices.
Our initial commercial product in development is the Evie Ring, which is a wearable designed specifically for women. The Evie Ring combines health and wellness metrics to give a full picture of one’s health, which we expect to include resting heart rate, heart rate variability (“HRV”), blood oxygen saturation (“SpO2”), respiration rate, skin temperature variability, period and ovulation tracking, menstrual symptom tracking, activity profile, including steps, active minutes and calories burned, sleep stages and duration, and mood tracking. The device will provide women and their network of caregivers with continuous health data distilled down to simple, yet meaningful, insights to help them make manageable lifestyle changes and take a more proactive approach that could mitigate the risks of chronic disease.
We expect to initially launch the Evie Ring as a general wellness device without any FDA premarket clearances, but plan to seek FDA clearances on its vital signs monitoring capabilities which would make it one of the first consumer wearables that offers an FDA cleared device and not only software for medical use. In July of 2023, we filed our first 510(k) submission to the FDA for the Evie Ring’s pulse oximeter to monitor heart and SpO2 data, following a successful pivotal hypoxia trial during the fourth quarter of 2022. The submission has been reviewed with the FDA, and we are corresponding with the FDA to address the review commentary. The FDA clearance of these metrics would ensure confidence of the Evie Ring’s vital signs monitoring capabilities and could make the device attractive for doctors and in clinical trials for patient monitoring.
In addition to the Evie Ring, we are developing the smallest ever patented and proprietary System-on-a-Chip (“SoC”) designed specifically for blood pressure or continuous glucose monitoring (“CGM”) systems. We built the integrated sensor from the ground up with multiple antennas and a variety of frequencies to achieve an unprecedented level of precision in health monitoring. We are currently conducting clinical trials with the SoC and developing algorithms that, if successful, will enable us to develop wearables that can monitor glucose non-invasively and blood pressure without a cuff. Our end goal is to bring a Class II FDA-cleared device to the market that includes CGM and cuffless blood pressure monitoring capabilities. Over time, our technology could also enable the measurement and continuous monitoring of other health data.
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 (i) the research and development of the products we are developing, including conducting clinical studies and related sales, general and administrative costs, and (ii) the commercialization of our first proposed commercial product, the Evie Ring. To date, we have funded our operations primarily from the sale of our equity securities.

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 and estimates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to those disclosed in the 2022 Form 10-K.
Results of Operations
Three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

Research and Development
Research and development expenses totaled $5.6 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This increase of $0.5 million was due primarily to an increase in research and laboratory expenses, which was partially offset by lower Company headcount with respect to research and development employees, and lower other professional fees. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 included expenses related to employee compensation of $1.6 million, other professional fees of $1.6 million, research and laboratory expenses of $2.1 million, and other expenses of $0.3 million. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 included expenses related to employee compensation of $2.5 million, other professional fees of $1.9 million, research and laboratory expenses of $0.5 million, and other expenses of $0.2 million.
Research and development expenses totaled $13.7 million and $13.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This decrease of $0.1 million was due primarily to lower Company headcount with respect to research and development employees and lower other professional fees, which was partially offset by an increase in research and laboratory expenses. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included expenses related to employee compensation of $5.0 million, other professional fees of $4.1 million, research and laboratory expenses of $3.8 million, and other expenses of $0.8 million. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included expenses related to employee compensation of $7.2 million, other professional fees of $5.0 million, research and laboratory expenses of $1.0 million, and other expenses of $0.6 million.
23
Sales, General and Administrative
Sales, general and administrative expenses totaled $3.4 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This decrease of $0.1 million was due primarily to the lower Company headcount and administrative activities. Sales, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 included expenses related to employee and board of director compensation of $1.7 million, professional and consulting fees of $0.6 million, and other expenses of $1.1 million. Sales, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 included expenses related to employee and board of director compensation of $1.6 million, professional and consulting fees of $0.8 million, and other expenses of $1.1 million.
Sales, general and administrative expenses totaled $10.0 million and $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This increase of $1.4 million was due primarily to the growth of the Company and its activities. Sales, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included expenses related to employee and board of director compensation of $5.1 million, professional and consulting fees of $1.8 million, and other expenses of $3.1 million. Sales, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included expenses related to employee and board of director compensation of $4.3 million, professional and consulting fees of $2.2 million, and other expenses of $2.1 million.
Loss from Operations
Loss from operations was $9.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Loss from operations was $23.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $22.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was a net other income of $117,000 as compared to a net other income of $55,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Other income (expense), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was a net other income of $341,000 as compared to a net other income of $39,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, net loss was $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
As a result of the foregoing, net loss was $23.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $22.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $7.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we used $20.9 million of cash in our operating activities. Our cash and cash equivalents are expected to be sufficient to enable us to complete the development and initial commercial launch of our first proposed commercial product, the Evie Ring. However, our cash and cash equivalents are not expected to be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months after the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
In August 2022, we entered into an at-the-market issuance (“ATM”) agreement with B. Riley Securities Inc., or B. Riley, to sell shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $50.0 million, from time to time, through an ATM equity offering program under which B. Riley acts as sales agent. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold an aggregate of 2,360,036 shares of common stock through the ATM program for proceeds of approximately $3.1 million, net of commissions paid. Approximately $44.5 million remains available on the ATM equity offering program at September 30, 2023.
24
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 the Evie Ring and other potential products; |
● | prepare applications required for marketing approval of the Evie Ring in the United States; |
● | develop our plans for manufacturing, distributing and marketing the Evie Ring 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 or it may become impossible for us to remain in operation. 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.
These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to raise additional capital as described above to support our future operations.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Operating Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company used cash of $20.9 million in operating activities, as compared to $18.6 million used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The $20.9 million used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $23.3 million during the period. The net loss was offset by non-cash items, including stock-based compensation of $2.3 million and depreciation of $0.1 million.
The $18.6 million used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $22.4 million during the period and changes in our operating assets and liabilities totaling $1.3 million. These items were offset by non-cash items, including stock-based compensation of $2.3 million, depreciation of $0.1 million, and accretion of discount on short-term investments of $0.1 million.
Investing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 the Company used cash of $51,000 in investing activities, consisting of purchases of property and equipment.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 the Company was provided cash of $14.9 million in investing activities, consisting primarily of $15.0 million from maturities of short-term investments and offset by purchases of property and equipment of $0.1 million.
25
Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company was provided cash of $17.9 million which included net proceeds of $6.7 million and $8.1 million from the issuance of common stock in public offerings in February 2023 and June 2023, respectively, net proceeds of $3.1 million from the issuance of common stock through the ATM equity offering program and $0.1 million from the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of common stock options.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company was provided cash of $1.9 million from the issuance of common stock, after issuance costs of $0.1 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
At September 30, 2023, the Company did not have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.
Non-cancelable Obligations
The Company also had approximately $10,000 of non-cancelable contractual commitments as of September 30, 2023, primarily related to its vendor arrangements. These commitments are generally due within one to three months.
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, due to the previously identified material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting that is described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023, the end of the period covered by this report.
26
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. As previously disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K, we identified one material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting at December 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
27
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
