Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Helius Medical Technologies, Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2023 (“2022 10-K”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted.

There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies from those described in the 2022 10-K. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

On April 21, 2023, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement seeking stockholder approval for a reverse stock split of our outstanding Class A common stock at a ratio in the range of 1-for-10 to 1-for-80 to be determined at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. At the annual meeting of stockholders on May 24, 2023, our stockholders voted to approve the reverse stock split. Refer to Note 6 for additional information.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Going Concern Uncertainty

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had an operating loss of $7.0 million, and as of June 30, 2023, its accumulated deficit was $155.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had $0.4 million of net revenue from the commercial sale of products. The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses and net cash outflows until such time as it generates a level of revenue to support its cost structure. There is no assurance that the Company will achieve profitable operations, and, if achieved, whether it will be sustained on a continued basis. These factors indicate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are filed. The Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business; no adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.

The Company intends to fund ongoing activities by utilizing its current cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash received from the sale of its PoNS device in the U.S. and Canada and by raising additional capital through equity or debt financings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional capital, the Company may be compelled to reduce the scope of its operations.

Global Economic Conditions

Generally, worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain, particularly due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, disruptions in the banking system and financial markets, lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and increased inflation. The general economic and capital market conditions both in the United States and worldwide, have been volatile in the past and at times have adversely affected the Company’s access to capital and increased the cost of capital. The capital and credit markets may not be available to support future capital raising activity on favorable terms. If economic conditions decline, the Company’s future cost of equity or debt capital and access to the capital markets could be adversely affected.

8

Table of Contents

The COVID-19 pandemic that began in late 2019 introduced significant volatility to the global economy, disrupted supply chains and had a widespread adverse effect on the financial markets. Additionally, the Company’s operating results could be materially impacted by changes in the overall macroeconomic environment and other economic factors. Changes in economic conditions, supply chain constraints, logistics challenges, labor shortages, the conflict in Ukraine, disruptions in the banking system and financial markets, and steps taken by governments and central banks, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as other stimulus and spending programs, have led to high inflation, which has increased costs and has caused changes in fiscal and monetary policy, including an increase in interest rates. Although the Company may take measures to mitigate these impacts, if these measures are not effective, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity could be materially adversely affected.

In the opinion of management, the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments, unless otherwise noted herein, are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

2.    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held and requires enhanced disclosures regarding significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses. As the Company meets the SEC definition of a Smaller Reporting Company filer, the guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

3.    SUPPLEMENTAL BALANCE SHEET DISCLOSURES

Components of selected captions in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets consisted of the following:

Exclusive Distribution Agreement

Pursuant to an Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Health Tech Connex Inc. (“HTC”) (“Exclusivity Agreement”) entered into on March 3, 2023, subject to certain terms and conditions, the Company granted to HTC the exclusive right to provide PoNS Therapy in the Fraser Valley and Vancouver metro regions of British Columbia. HTC will purchase the PoNS devices for use in these regions exclusively from the Company and on terms no less favorable than the then-current standard terms and conditions. This Exclusivity Agreement replaced the previous Clinical Research and Co-Promotion Agreement (“Co-Promotion Agreement”) between the parties entered into in October 2019 that included a similar exclusive right provision. The exclusive right under the Exclusivity Agreement was granted for a value of CAD$273 thousand, which is represented by the unamortized up-front payment under the former Co-Promotion Agreement. The initial term of the Exclusivity Agreement expires on December 31, 2027, and is renewable by HTC for one additional five-year term upon sixty days’ written notice to the Company.

Deferred revenue as of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is comprised of the remaining unamortized amount under these agreements. Revenue recognized is included in other revenue in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

4.    LEASES

The Company has two operating leases for office space with lease terms expiring in January 2024 and March 2025. The leases do not contain any options to extend. Operating lease costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $13 thousand $27 thousand, $14 thousand and $29 thousand, respectively.

5.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value 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. Fair value of an asset or liability considers assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including consideration of non-performance risk. The inputs used to determine fair values are categorized in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

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

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include financial instruments for which the fair market value of such instruments may differ from amounts reflected on a historical cost basis. Financial instruments of the Company consist of cash equivalents, which were comprised of deposits of excess cash in an unrestricted money market savings account and a certificate of deposit as of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The carrying value of cash equivalents generally approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.

The Company’s derivative liability as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is comprised of warrants issued in connection with the registered public offering completed in August 2022 (“August 2022 Public Offering”) discussed in Note 6. The derivative liability is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy and is required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. See Note 6 for further information on the fair value of the derivative liability.

6.    COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS

At-The-Market Offering

On June 23, 2023, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”) to create an at-the-market offering program (“ATM”) under which the Company may offer and sell shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $2.0 million. Roth is entitled to a commission at a fixed commission rate equal to up to 3% of the gross proceeds pursuant to the Sales Agreement. As of June 30, 2023, no issuances of securities have occurred in connection with the ATM.

Series B Preferred Stock

On March 23, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one one-thousandth of a share of Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) for each outstanding share of Class A common stock held of record on April 3, 2023. The value of the Series B Preferred Stock issued in connection with the stock dividend was immaterial.

The outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will vote together with the outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, as a single class, exclusively with respect to a proposal giving the Board of Directors the authority, as it determines appropriate, to implement a reverse stock split within twelve months following the approval of

11

Table of Contents

such proposal by the Company’s stockholders (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”), as well as any proposal to adjourn any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of voting on the foregoing matters (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

No shares of Series B Preferred Stock may be transferred by the holder except in connection with a transfer by such holder of any shares of Class A common stock held by such holder.

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock will entitle the holder to 1,000,000 votes per share and each fraction of a share of Series B Preferred Stock will have a ratable number of votes. The holder of Series B Preferred Stock, as such, will not be entitled to receive dividends.

All shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are not present in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders held to vote on the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal as of immediately prior to the opening of the polls at such meeting (the “Initial Redemption Time”) will automatically be redeemed in whole, but not in part, by the Company at the Initial Redemption Time without further action on the part of the Company or the holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

The Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series of stock or other securities of the Company. The Series B Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund. The Series B Preferred Stock is not subject to any restriction on the redemption or repurchase of shares by the Company while there is any arrearage in the payment of dividends or sinking fund installments.

The Certificate of Designation was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and became effective on March 24, 2023.

At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company held on May 24, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding Class A common stock. All shares of Series B Preferred Stock that did not vote in person or by proxy were redeemed in whole by the Company. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock that did vote in person or by proxy will need to request redemption from the Company at a rate of $0.001 per share in cash. As of June 30, 2023, no shareholders of Series B Preferred Stock have requested such redemption. As of the filing date, the Company’s Board of Directors has not declared a reverse stock split.

Warrants

The Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 36,000,000 shares of Class A common stock (“Public Warrants”) in connection with the August 2022 Public Offering, as more fully described in the 2022 10-K. The Public Warrants did not meet the guidance for being classified as an equity instrument due to a potential price reset prompted by a change in an unrelated instrument’s conversion rate or, in the event of a fundamental transaction, settlement rights that differ from those of the underlying common stockholders. Accordingly, the Public Warrants are being accounted for as a derivative liability instrument. The fair value of the derivative liability as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $4.5 million and $6.9 million, respectively. The change in the fair value of the derivative liability was recognized as a component of nonoperating income (expense) in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

12

Table of Contents

The fair value of the Public Warrants as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was determined using both a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses multiple input variables to determine the probability of the occurrence of a price reset or a fundamental transaction and the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table includes the share price and the inputs used to estimate the fair value of the warrants:

The 36,000,000 outstanding liability classified Public Warrants have an exercise price of $0.75 per share, are exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years following the date of issuance. No Public Warrants were exercised or cancelled during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The Company has outstanding equity-classified warrants to purchase 593,924 shares of Class A common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $16.32, with expiration dates ranging from October 2023 to February 2026. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, no warrants were exercised or cancelled.

7.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company may issue stock-based compensation awards under the Helius Medical Technologies, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (“2022 Plan”) or the Helius Medical Technologies, Inc. 2021 Inducement Plan (as amended, the “Inducement Plan”), as described more fully in the 2022 10-K. On January 1, 2023, pursuant to the automatic increase provision of the 2022 Plan, the number of shares authorized for issuance increased from the initial 1,121,272 to 13,215,973. As of June 30, 2023, the remaining shares available for grant were 734,223 under the 2022 Plan and 455,000 under the Inducement Plan.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted 11,088,460 stock options out of the 2022 Plan and 25,000 stock options out of the Inducement Plan at a weighted average exercise price of $0.29 per share. The options vest over one to four years and expire ten years after the grant date.

Company Overview

We are a neurotechnology company focused on neurological wellness. Our purpose is to develop, license or acquire non-implantable technologies targeted at reducing symptoms of neurological disease or trauma.

Our product, known as the Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator, or PoNS®, is an innovative non-implantable medical device, inclusive of a controller and mouthpiece, which delivers mild electrical stimulation to the surface of the tongue to provide treatment of gait deficit and chronic balance deficit. PoNS TherapyTM is integral to the overall PoNS solution and is the physical therapy applied by patients during use of the PoNS neuromodulation stimulator. PoNS has marketing clearance in the U.S. for use as a short-term treatment of gait deficit due to mild-to-moderate symptoms for MS, and is to be used as an adjunct to a supervised therapeutic exercise program in patients 22 years of age and over by prescription only. We began accepting prescriptions for PoNS in the U.S. in March 2022, and commercial sales of PoNS commenced in April 2022. PoNS is authorized for sale in Canada for three indications: (i) for use as a short term treatment (14 weeks) of chronic balance deficit due to mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury, or mmTBI, and is to be used in conjunction with physical therapy; (ii) for use as a short term treatment (14 weeks) of gait deficit due to mild and moderate symptoms from MS and it is to be used in conjunction with physical therapy; and (iii) as a short term treatment (14 weeks) of gait deficit due to mild and moderate symptoms from stroke, to be used in conjunction with physical therapy. It has been commercially available in Canada since March 2019. PoNS is authorized for sale as a Class IIa medical device in Australia and we have been seeking a business partner to commercialize and distribute PoNS in Australia.

Recent Developments

Corporate Updates

On April 21, 2023, we filed a definitive proxy statement seeking stockholder approval for a reverse stock split of our outstanding Class A common stock at a ratio in the range of 1-for-10 to 1-for-80 to be determined at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. At the annual meeting of stockholders on May 24, 2023, stockholders voted to approve the reverse stock split.

On March 23, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of one one-thousandth of a share of our Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), on each outstanding share of our Class A common stock, to stockholders of record on April 3, 2023. Refer to Note 6 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

On March 21, 2023, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that Nasdaq has granted the Company a 180-day extension, until September 18, 2023, to regain compliance with the requirement for the Company’s Class A common stock, to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a) (2).

On March 8, 2023, we received marketing authorization from Health Canada allowing us to commercialize the PoNS device in Canada for use as a short-term treatment of gait deficit due to mild and moderate symptoms from stroke. This expands our addressable market in Canada to include a patient population seeking treatment options that may resolve stroke gait deficit symptoms.

Pursuant to an Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Health Tech Connex Inc. (“HTC”) (“Exclusivity Agreement”), subject to certain terms and conditions, we granted to HTC the exclusive right to provide the PoNS Therapy in the Fraser Valley and Vancouver metro regions of British Columbia. HTC is to purchase the PoNS devices for use in these regions exclusively from us and on terms no less favorable than the then-current standard terms and conditions. The initial term of the Exclusivity Agreement expires on December 31, 2027, and is renewable by HTC for one additional five-year term. Refer to Note 3 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Presently, PoNS Therapy is not covered by Center for Medicare and Medicaid (“CMS”) or reimbursed by any third-party payers in the U.S. We are pursuing commercial insurance coverage and Medicare reimbursement for PoNS within the Durable Medical Equipment, or DME, benefit category. While there are currently no applicable Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System, or HCPCS, codes to describe the PoNS device or mouthpiece, we intend to use miscellaneous codes – E1399 (Miscellaneous durable medical equipment) and A9999 (Miscellaneous DME supply or accessory, not otherwise specified) until specific HCPCS codes are created. We initially applied for unique HCPCS codes during the third quarter of 2021. In order to address CMS’s request for additional information to “further understand the PoNS device indication for use,” we decided to move forward and collect additional clinical and real-world data. As such, through our ongoing PoNSTEP study and ongoing registry program, we plan to resubmit for unique HCPCS codes upon availability of a body of evidence that we consider adequate and sufficient to address CMS’s questions. We expect to re-engage with CMS in mid-2023.

We will continue to monitor the development of CMS’s new pathway for coverage of innovative new devices, Transitional Coverage of Emerging Technology (“TCET”), which is replacing the repealed Medicare Coverage of Innovative Technologies rule. CMS is expected to share more about TCET with the public for comments in 2023. As we follow the evolution of TCET, we will continue to assess our evidence generation strategy to reach the greatest potential to gain CMS reimbursement benefits as a result of our Breakthrough designation in MS.

We also intend to provide broad access and reimbursement for the PoNS Therapy over time through commercial insurers. Prior to the initiation of CMS or broad commercial payer coverage, we anticipate the primary source of sales will be self-pay patients. We expect to support the cost of the PoNS Therapy by offering a cash pay discount, collaborating with third parties to provide self-pay patients with financing options as well as working with advocacy groups and charitable organizations to help self-pay patients access our technology. In general, we anticipate that it will take at least 24 months to obtain broad coverage and reimbursement among government and private payers.

We launched an e-commerce site in the U.S. in December 2022 and began processing orders in January 2023. Accessed via ponstherapy.com, the site is powered through a new partnership with UpScriptHealth, a leading telehealth company focused on making medications and devices available direct-to-consumer. UpScriptHealth’s platform provides for (1) online health evaluations with qualified medical providers; (2) fulfillment of prescriptions required for PoNS Therapy; and (3) shipping of PoNS devices directly to the homes of eligible patients in the United States. The UpScriptHealth platform makes it possible for people with MS to have a PoNS device delivered directly to their doorstep.

Our Patient Therapy Access Program (“PTAP”), launched in June 2022 and effective through June 2023, provided qualifying patients access to PoNS therapy at a significantly reduced price. The PTAP was not renewed and terminated on June 30, 2023.

Material Trends and Uncertainties

Global Economic Conditions

Generally, worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain, particularly due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, disruptions in the banking system and financial markets, the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and increased inflation. The general economic and capital market conditions both in the U.S. and worldwide, have been volatile in the past and at times have adversely affected our access to capital and increased the cost of capital. The capital and credit markets may not be available to support future capital raising activity on favorable terms. If economic conditions decline, our future cost of equity or debt capital and access to the capital markets could be adversely affected.

The COVID-19 pandemic that began in late 2019 introduced significant volatility to the global economy, disrupted supply chains and had a widespread adverse effect on the financial markets. Additionally, our operating results could be materially impacted by changes in the overall macroeconomic environment and other economic factors. Changes in economic conditions, supply chain constraints, logistics challenges, labor shortages, disruptions in the banking system and financial markets, the conflict in Ukraine, and steps taken by governments and central banks, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as other stimulus and spending programs, have led to higher inflation, which has led to an increase in costs and has caused changes in fiscal and monetary policy, including increased interest

rates. Although we may take measures to mitigate these impacts, if these measures are not effective, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity could be materially adversely affected.

Revenue

The increase in net product sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared with the same period in the prior year was primarily attributable to increased U.S. sales of PoNS systems under the PTAP driven, in part, by patients’ efforts to secure the favorable PTAP pricing prior to the termination of PTAP on June 30, 2023. Commercial product sales in the United States commenced in April 2022.

Cost of Revenue

The cost of revenue increase for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to higher sales compared to the same period in the prior year.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased compared to the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of total revenue, the increase in gross profit resulted from greater absorption of fixed overhead costs across

19

Table of Contents

the higher unit volume on PoNS system sales, partially offset by a greater mix of lower margin PoNS system sales under the PTAP in the current year period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses resulted from a $0.1 million increase in professional fees incurred primarily in connection with certain registration statement filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Research and Development Expense

The decrease in research and development expenses was driven primarily by a decrease in product development expenses and clinical trial activities as we transitioned our focus from product development and clinical trials to U.S. commercialization activities.

Amortization Expense

Amortization expense was primarily comprised of the amortization of acquired finite-lived intangible assets. The change in amortization expense period over period is primarily due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized.

Nonoperating income (expense)

Interest Income (Expense), Net

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to interest income earned on investments of excess cash in an unrestricted money market savings account and a certificate of deposit.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability

As discussed in more detail in Note 6 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the warrants issued in connection with the public offering completed on August 9, 2022 are being accounted for as a derivative liability instrument. The change in fair value of derivative liability for the three months ended June 30, 2023 of $1.2 million was due to a decrease in our stock price.

Foreign Exchange (Loss) Gain

The change in foreign exchange (loss) gain was primarily due to fluctuations in the Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rates.

Revenue

The increase in net product sales for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared with the same period in the prior year was primarily attributable to increased U.S. sales of PoNS systems driven, in part, by patients’ efforts to secure favorable PTAP pricing prior to the termination of PTAP on June 30, 2023 as well as the fact that commercial product sales in the United States did not commence until April 2022. This increase was partially offset by lower Canada product sales resulting mostly from prior year sales including approximately $120 thousand of revenue recognized in connection with the delivery of the remaining 16 PoNS devices that had been included as noncash consideration in the Company’s acquisition of Heuro Canada, Inc.

Cost of Revenue

The cost of revenue increase for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to higher sales compared to the same period in the prior year.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased compared to the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of total revenue, the decrease in gross profit resulted primarily from a greater mix of lower margin PoNS system sales under the PTAP in the U.S. during the current year period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was the result of a $0.5 million increase in professional fees incurred primarily in connection with certain registration statement filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was largely offset by a $0.3 million decrease in personnel related costs.

Research and Development Expense

The decrease in research and development expenses was driven primarily by a decrease in product development expenses and clinical trial activities as we transitioned our focus from product development and clinical trials to U.S. commercialization activities.

Amortization Expense

Amortization expense was primarily comprised of the amortization of acquired finite-lived intangible assets. The change in amortization expense period over period is primarily due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to interest income earned on investments of excess cash in an unrestricted money market savings account and a certificate of deposit.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability

As discussed in more detail in Note 6 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the warrants issued in connection with the public offering completed on August 9, 2022 are being accounted for as a derivative liability instrument. The change in fair value of derivative liability for the six months ended June 30, 2023 of $2.4 million was due to a decrease in our stock price.

Our available capital resources have been primarily used to expand our U.S. commercialization efforts, fund manufacturing activities for the PoNS device, conduct clinical trials and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Our primary sources of cash and cash equivalents have been proceeds from public and private offerings of our Class A common stock, which most recently included $16.3 million in net proceeds we received from a public offering of our Class A common stock and warrants completed in August 2022 (“August 2022 Public Offering”) as discussed in more detail in Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included our 2022 10-K. As discussed in more detail in Note 6 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company entered into a sales agreement related to our at-the-market offering program under which we may offer and sell shares having gross proceeds up to $2.0 million.

As discussed in more detail in Note 6 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will vote together with the outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, as a single class, exclusively with respect to a proposal giving the Board of Directors the authority, as it determines appropriate, to implement a reverse stock split within twelve months following the approval of such proposal by the Company’s stockholders, as well as any proposal to adjourn any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of voting on the foregoing matters. If these proposals do not receive approval at a meeting of stockholders duly called for the purpose of voting thereon, the Company may be unable to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement within the required period of time, which could lead to our Class A common stock being delisted. If we are unable to maintain the listing of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq, we may face difficulty raising additional capital.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

The lower level of cash used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily resulted from the decrease in net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared with the same period in the prior year.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Our investing activities are primarily related to the purchases of property and equipment.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

We did not complete any public or private offerings of our Class A common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we paid $24 thousand of accrued share issuance costs related to a public offering of Class A common stock completed in November 2021.

Cash Requirements

Our ability to generate product revenues sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful commercialization of PoNS Therapy in the U.S. Our net loss was $4.1 million and $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $155.2 million. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. These and other factors indicate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Refer to Note 1 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion about our going concern uncertainty.

We intend to use our available capital resources primarily to expand our U.S. commercialization efforts, fund manufacturing activities for the PoNS device, conduct clinical trials and for working capital and general corporate purposes. We believe that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund our operations through 2023, but we will be required to seek additional funding through the sale of equity or debt financing to continue to fund our operations thereafter. We will need additional funding for our planned clinical trial for stroke. The amount required to fund operations thereafter will depend on various factors, including timing of approval of clinical trials, duration and result of clinical trials and other factors that affect the cost of the clinical trial, manufacturing costs of product, development of our product for new indications and demand for our authorized products in the market.

There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital, we may be compelled to reduce the scope of our operations and planned capital expenditure or sell certain assets, including intellectual property, and we may be forced to cease or wind down operations, seek protection under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or liquidate and dissolve our company.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This preparation requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” of our 2022 10-K. There have been no changes in critical accounting policies in the current year from those described in our 2022 10-K.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our management has concluded that the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are subject to litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceeding against us that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business is subject to risks and events that, if they occur, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of our securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, our risk factors have not changed materially from those risk factors previously disclosed in our 2022 10-K. You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2022 10-K. The risks described in our 2022 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
