Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

Note 1 – Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of the Business

Autonomix Medical, Inc. (“we,” “our,” the “Company”) is a medical device company organized as a Delaware corporation on June 10, 2014. The Company is a pre-revenue, clinical stage life sciences company focused on advancing innovative technologies for sensing and treating disorders relating to the peripheral nervous system.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The Company's financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company is an early-stage company that is subject to all the risks associated with early-stage and emerging growth companies and has incurred losses since inception.

For the  three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred net losses of $2.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and had net cash flows used in operating activities of $1.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The Company had no revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $41.7 million, working capital of $6.3 million and cash of $6.8 million as of June 30, 2024. The Company does not expect to generate positive cash flows from operating activities in the near future.

The Company estimates its current cash resources are sufficient to fund its operations into but not beyond the second calendar quarter of 2025. The Company recognizes it will need to raise additional capital to continue to execute its business plan, including obtaining regulatory clearance for its products currently under development and commercializing and generating revenues from products under development. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company. A failure to raise sufficient capital, generate sufficient product revenues, control expenditures and regulatory matters, among other factors, will adversely impact the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations as they become due and payable and to achieve its intended business objectives. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to scale back its operations.

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed interim financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The Company’s fiscal year end is March 31^st. These unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended March 31, 2024 as found in the Annual Report in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 31, 2024. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed interim financial statements reflect all the adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the quarterly and year-to-date periods, as applicable. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. The March 31, 2024 audited condensed balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

8

 

Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Presentation

The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The Company's significant estimates and assumptions include work performed but not yet billed by contract manufacturers, engineers and research organizations and the valuation of equity related instruments. Although the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available at the time the estimates and assumptions were made. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid accounts with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.

Offering Costs

Offering costs consist of professional costs incurred through the balance sheet date that are direct and incremental related to the Company’s initial public offering ("IPO"). These costs, together with the selling agent fees, were reclassified to additional paid-in capital upon completion of the Company’s IPO on January 26, 2024. Costs associated with salaries and other period costs were expensed as incurred.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid $0 and $0.1 million, respectively, of offering costs related to its IPO.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment (comprised of computer and IT equipment) are stated at historical cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally three years. Upon disposition of the assets, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations.

Convertible Notes

The Company evaluates embedded redemption, conversion and other features within its debt to determine whether any embedded features should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed statements of operations.

The Company’s debt is carried on the condensed balance sheets on a historical cost basis net of unamortized discounts and premiums because the Company has not elected the fair value option of accounting. Costs associated with acquiring debt, including detachable warrants issued in connection with the financing, are capitalized as a debt discount. The debt discount is presented in the condensed balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. The costs are amortized over the estimated contractual life of the related debt instrument using the effective interest method and are included in interest expense in the condensed statements of operations.

If the Company incurs costs associated with its convertible notes, in advance of the receipt of proceeds, the Company will record a deferred asset. Upon receipt of proceeds the Company will reclassify the deferred asset as a direct deduction from the carrying amount, as described above.

In addition, since the instruments included a substantive conversion feature as of time of issuance, the issuance of equity securities to settle the outstanding notes with the conversion were accounted for as a contractual conversion with no gain or loss recognized related to the equity securities issued to settle the instrument.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements, defined as follows:

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets

Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument

Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value and require significant judgment and estimation.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate, the Company recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values are the probability weighting of the different settlement outcomes used.

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value as of or during the three-month period ending June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024. There were not any transfers into or out of Level 3 as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company determined that the estimated fair value of debt was approximately $1.0 million. The fair value of debt was estimated using market rates the Company believes would be available for similar types of financial instruments and represents a Level 2 measurement.

The carrying value of short-term instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

Related Parties

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. See further discussion in Note 5 below on this matter.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of reported assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company must then assess the likelihood that the resulting deferred tax assets will be realized. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 the Company determined a full valuation allowance was required to offset its deferred tax assets as a result of recurring operating losses.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740-10 which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, on its tax return. The Company evaluates and records any uncertain tax positions based on the amount that management deems is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination and ultimate settlement with the tax authorities in the tax jurisdictions in which it operates. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 the Company had no uncertain tax positions.

The Company does not expect to pay any significant federal, state, or foreign income taxes in our fiscal year 2025 (ending March 31, 2025) as a result of the losses recorded during the three months ended  June 30, 2024 and the additional losses expected for the remainder of our fiscal year 2025 and cumulative net operating loss carryforwards. Accounting standards require the consideration of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that some component or all of the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

10

 

The Company recorded no income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is zero. The Company estimates its annual effective tax rate at the end of each quarterly period. Jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year where no tax benefit can be recognized due to the valuation allowance could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a particular quarter depending on the mix and timing of actual earnings versus annual projections.

Stock-based Compensation

Employee and non-employee share-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. For awards with a performance condition, compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period if it is probable that the performance condition will be satisfied. For awards to non-employees, the Company recognizes compensation expense in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash for the goods or services. The Company estimates the fair value of options and equity classified warrants granted using an options pricing model. Expense is recognized within general and administrative expenses and forfeitures are recognized as they are incurred.

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

 

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The fair value of the warrants is estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model or a Monte Carlo simulation.

  

Loss Per Common Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Generally, the Company’s outstanding warrants are non-participating securities as they are not entitled to non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents during the vesting term and have no obligation to fund losses.

However, the warrants described in Note 5 are participating securities as they receive a right to dividends, but they are not obligated to fund losses. In periods of loss, since no income is allocated to these securities, the Company's use of the treasury stock method derives the same result. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is calculated using the “if-converted method.” Under the if-converted method, securities are assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period, and the resulting common shares are included in the denominator of the diluted calculation for the entire period being presented.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, dilutive securities that were not included in the calculations of the loss per common share because they would be anti-dilutive included the following:

	June 30,
	2024		2023
Equity based warrants to purchase common shares		5,344,569		6,569,929
Convertible Notes - common shares		665,000		-
Convertible Notes - equity-based warrants to purchase common shares		500,000		-
Stock options granted under Company's incentive plan		4,329,579		933,600
Total potentially dilutive securities		10,839,148		7,503,529

11

 

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Advertising

It is our policy to expense advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses are included within general and administrative expenses within the statement of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Fair Value of Common Stock

Prior to establishing a public market for the Company’s common stock, the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock was determined by the Company’s board of directors as of the date of each option grant, with input from management, considering the Company’s most recently available third-party valuations of common stock, recent sales of common stock to third parties, and the Company’s board of directors’ assessment of additional objective and subjective factors that it believed were relevant and which may have changed from the date of the most recent valuation through the date of the grant.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an early-stage company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Segments

The Company currently operates in one reportable segment based on management’s view of its business for purposes of evaluating performance and making operating decisions. Based upon this business model, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, whom the Company has determined to be its chief operating decision-maker, reviews financial information as one operating segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have any material impact on its financial statements.

The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Correction of an Immaterial Error in the Prior Period Financial Statements

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 ( March 31, 2024), the Company determined that the prior year financial statements had an error caused by an immaterial classification error of certain research and development expense in accordance with ASC 730 Research and Development Costs. As a result, certain prior year amounts have been revised for consistency with the current year presentation. The Company assessed the materiality of this change in presentation on prior period financial statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” (ASC Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections). Based on this assessment, the Company concluded that these classification error corrections in its Statements of Operations are not material to any previously presented financial statements based upon overall considerations of both quantitative and qualitative factors. The corrections had no impact on the fiscal year 2023 Balance Sheet, Statements of Cash Flows, or Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. Further, the immaterial corrections did not result in a change in operating losses, net loss, or basic or diluted earnings per share in the Income Statement.

A summary of immaterial corrections reflecting the prior period impact to the Company’s Statement of Operations, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 is shown below (in thousands):

						As Revised
	June 30, 2023		Correction			June 30, 2023
General and administrative expense	$	523	$	(20	)	$	503
Research and development expense		348		20			368
Net Loss	$	871	$	-		$	871

Note 2 – Convertible Notes Payable

On September 9, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized an offering up to $2.0 million in unsecured, non-interest bearing convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) and accompanying warrants (the “Bridge Financing Warrants”) (collectively, the “Bridge Offering”) that will mature on December 31, 2025. The Notes provided that, on the closing date of the IPO, the outstanding principal would be automatically converted into common stock at the conversion price of $2.00. Each dollar in principal amount of Notes purchased were accompanied by a five-year Bridge Financing Warrant to purchase 0.25 shares of Common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The Company records the Bridge Financing Warrants as a discount to the Notes.

The Bridge Financing Warrants can be exercised from the date of Notes issuance through the five-year anniversary of the issuance of the Notes. The shares issuable pursuant to the Notes and Bridge Financing Warrants have a 180-day lock-up after the Company’s IPO. Thereafter, the foregoing lock-up agreement will cease to apply to 25% of the purchased shares each month for a period of four months. The Note holders are not permitted to convert their Notes when the holders or any of their affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s common stock after such conversion.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company received proceeds of $2.0 million of Notes executed from the Bridge Offering, which would convert into 1.0 million shares of common stock. The Company’s effective interest rate for the Notes is 15.3% due to the amortization of the discount stemming from the issuance of the Bridge Financing Warrants. On January 26, 2024, we consummated our initial public offering (“IPO”). In connection with the closing of the IPO, a portion of our convertible notes were converted into 335,000 shares of our common stock. Upon the closing of the IPO, certain notes were to be automatically converted according to their terms into our common stock to the extent and provided that certain holders of these notes are not permitted to convert such notes to the extent that the holders or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of our common stock after such conversion. Due to this 4.99% limitation, principal representing $1.3 million, or 665,000 shares, of these notes remains outstanding.

Warrants

The Company issued the Notes with detachable warrants for the purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of each Bridge Offering Warrant. The key inputs to the Monte Carlo simulation used to determine the fair value of each warrant include, the Company’s stock price fair value which was determined through a back solve calculation such that the stock price results in the average total value of the Notes and the Bridge Offering Warrants being equal to the cash proceeds received, volatility based on a selection of publicly held peer companies of 101.88%, expected term of 5 years, risk free rate of 4.40%, discount rate of 20.00% and a discount for lack of marketability of 15.77%.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded less than $0.1 million in interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount.

The following table presents a summary of activity for the warrants issued in connection with the Company’s Notes:

Stock Plan and Stock Options

In June 2023, the Company adopted, and the Company’s shareholders approved, the Autonomix Medical, Inc. 2023 Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is a stock-based compensation plan that provides for discretionary grants of stock options, stock awards and stock unit awards to key employees, non-employee directors, and consultants, subject to certain individual threshold limitations. The Plan provides for up to 4,000,000 shares to be issued. Shares that are surrendered because of forfeiture, expiration, termination, or cancellation are available for re-issuance.

In August 2023, the Plan was amended to allow for an automatic increase of the available shares for issuance, whereby on the 1st of each fiscal year, beginning on April 1, 2024 and ending on (and including) April 1, 2033 in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the March 31st immediately preceding the applicable date. However, the Board may act prior to the automatic increase of a given year to provide that there will be no increase for such year, or that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock. On April 1, 2024, the Plan was increased by 942,305 shares.

Note 4 – Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not currently have any pending litigation to which we are a party or to which our property is subject that we believe to be material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can be costly and time consuming, and it can divert management’s attention from important business matters and initiatives, negatively impacting our overall operations.

Employment Agreements

We have agreements with key employees to provide certain benefits, including salary and other wage-related benefits, in the event of termination. In addition, the Company has adopted a severance policy for certain key members of executive management to provide certain benefits, including salary and other wage-related benefits, in the event of termination. In total, these benefits would amount to a range of $1.1 million to $1.6 million using the rate of compensation in effect at June 30, 2024.

Brad Hauser - Chief Executive Officer

On June 17, 2024, we entered into an employment agreement with Brad Hauser pursuant to which Mr. Hauser agreed to serve as our chief executive officer and president for an initial three-year period, which may be extended on a year-to-year basis. Mr. Hauser’s agreement provides for an initial annual base salary of $450,000 (subject to an annual review and increase at the discretion of our Compensation Committee) and a target annual bonus of 60% of his base salary. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Hauser was granted a ten-year option (the “Inducement Options”) to purchase 900,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of the employment agreement. The option vests in four equal annual installments (or 225,000 shares each installment) on each of the succeeding four anniversary dates of the execution of the employment agreement, provided Mr. Hauser is employed by us on each vesting date. In the event of a “change of control” or the termination of the agreement by us without “cause” or by Mr. Hauser for “good reason,” all of the unvested options shall immediately vest. The Inducement Options were granted outside of our 2023 Stock Plan as an inducement material to Mr. Hauser’s entering into employment with us in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). Commencing with the year ending March 31, 2025, Mr. Hauser will be eligible to receive annual option grants as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, based on criteria established by the Compensation Committee. The number of shares underlying the target annual option grant will be equal to $1,000,000 divided by the Black-Scholes value per share of our common stock on the date of grant.

If Mr. Hauser’s employment is terminated at our election without “cause,” or by Mr. Hauser for “good reason,” Mr. Hauser shall be entitled to receive severance payments equal to twelve months of Mr. Hauser’s base salary and 100% of the target bonus for the year in which such termination occurs; provided that such amounts shall be increased by 50% if Mr. Hauser’s agreement is terminated without “cause” or by Mr. Hauser for “good reason” within three months prior to or twelve months after a “change of control.” In the event that any payments or benefits provided to Mr. Hauser would trigger the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code or any similar provision, the Company agreed to provide Mr. Hauser with a gross-up payment to ensure that, after payment of all taxes (including the excise tax, federal, state, and local income taxes, and employment taxes) imposed on the gross-up payment, Mr. Hauser receives a net amount equal to the payments or benefits Mr. Hauser would have received if the excise tax didn't apply

Lori Bisson - Vice Chair (former Chief Executive Officer)

On June 17, 2024, we entered into an employment agreement with Lori Bisson pursuant to which Ms. Bisson agreed to serve as our Executive Vice Chair and Strategic Adviser to the Chief Executive Officer (“Vice Chair”) for a two-year period. Ms. Bisson’s agreement provides for an initial annual base salary of $150,000 (subject to an annual review and increase at the discretion of our Compensation Committee) and a target annual bonus of 50% of her base salary. Pursuant to the agreement, Ms. Bisson continued to vest in the option grants issued to Ms. Bisson in her role as chief executive officer and president in accordance with the vesting schedule set out in her initial employment agreement. In the event of a “change of control” or the termination of the agreement by us without “cause” or by Ms. Bisson for “good reason,” all of the unvested options shall immediately vest. Ms. Bisson is entitled to receive any compensation, including incentive compensation, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 that has not been paid as of the date of the agreement. Commencing with the year ending March 31, 2025, Ms. Bisson will be eligible to receive annual option grants as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, based on criteria established by the Compensation Committee. Ms. Bisson agreed to waive any severance payments due to her in connection with the termination of the prior employment agreement that we entered into with her on June 30, 2023.

Overview

We are a development stage medical device development company focused on advancing innovative technologies for sensing and treating disorders relating to the nervous system. Our first-in-class technology platform includes a catheter-based microchip-enabled array that can detect and differentiate neural signals with a high degree of sensitivity as demonstrated in animal studies. We calculate sensitivity in units of minimum signal detection voltage in micro volts (uV) time area of the electrode (square millimeters). It is a combined measure that is related to the signal resolving power and spatial resolution of the system. For the BSC Orion, the nearest device on the market, the metrics are 10uV for signal detection levels, and roughly 0.4mm by 0.5mm for the electrode dimensions. For the Autonomix device, the metrics are <1uV for signal detection levels and roughly 0.02mm by 0.03mm for the electrode dimensions. The differences in these metrics result in a calculation of 3,000 times greater sensitivity for the Autonomix device. We believe, if we can recreate these results in clinical trials, this will enable a method of transvascular targeting, treating, and confirming treatment of diseases involving the nervous system throughout the body that is not currently available and may be capable of filling a wide range of unmet medical needs.

We are initially developing our technology for patients with pancreatic cancer, a condition that can cause debilitating pain and needs a more effective solution. However, we believe our technology constitutes a platform with the potential to address dozens of indications in a range of areas including chronic pain management from all causes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and a wide range of other nerve-related disorders.

Our development efforts can be divided into to two sub parts: sensing and treatment, where sensing is focused on identifying neuronal activity that may be associated with a disorder with enough precision to enable targeted treatment. While the treatment may vary depending on the disorder, in our initial indications this will involve energy-based ablation (deliberate tissue damage, also referred to as denervation) intended to stop unwanted neuronal activity.

Our sensing catheter has already been developed sufficiently to demonstrate in animal models successful identification of a signal from a specific nerve before ablation and confirmation of termination of the signal from the treated nerve after ablation. We are now in the process of improving the assembly of this catheter to meet the standards required for human use. In parallel with this effort, we are preparing for a first-in-human demonstration of transvascular ablation (without the use of our sensing technology) to relieve pain associated with pancreatic cancer. Once these two efforts are completed, we plan to bring sensing and treatment together in a pivotal clinical trial to enable the commercial launch of our technology. As stated above, we are a development stage company and there is no guarantee that the results of any trials will produce positive results or that the results will support our claims.

Recent Developments

On July 10, 2024, we entered into a license agreement (the “Agreement”) with RF Innovations, Inc. (“RFI”), a privately held medical technology company, to license products utilizing RFI’s intellectual property related to its Apex 6 Radiofrequency Generator (the “Licensed Products”). The Apex 6 Generator is a United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) cleared ablation technology designed to lesion neural tissue for pain management in the peripheral nervous system. Pursuant to the Agreement, RFI granted us a perpetual non-exclusive worldwide royalty free fully paid license related to the Licensed Products, provided that the license did not include the right to sell certain products to customers for the treatment of spine pain. In connection with the Agreement, we issued RFI 250,000 unregistered shares of our common stock as consideration for the license. The Agreement provides RFI the right to terminate the license if we breach any representation, warranty or covenant contained in the Agreement, subject to any relevant cure periods, or if we are subject to a bankruptcy or insolvency event.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

Below is a summary of the results of operations (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,
					Change		Change
	2024		2023		( $ )		( % )
Operating expenses:
General and administrative	$	1,799	$	503	$	1,296		258	%
Research and development		954		368		586		159	%
Total operating expenses	$	2,753	$	871	$	1,882		216	%

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense was $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2023. This $1.3 million increase was driven primarily by increases in officer and employee compensation and benefits of $0.6 million, as we expanded our management team, stock-based compensation of $0.3 million, legal and professional fees of $0.2 million, insurance expense of $0.1 million, franchise tax of $0.1 million and other expenses of $0.1 million, offset by a decrease in advertising expense of $0.1 million.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense was $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in research and development expenses during the current year was mainly attributed to clinical trial planning and development cost. We expect to incur increased research and development costs in the future as we continue our clinical trial.

Interest expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we had interest expense of less than $0.1 million, related to the amortization of debt discount. Interest expense was $0 during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as there was no comparable instrument or expense in the prior period.

Interest income

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we had interest income of $0.1 million. Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was less than $0.1 million due to relatively lower cash balances.

22

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On June 30, 2024, we had cash of $6.8 million, and working capital of $6.3 million. We have historically funded our operations from proceeds from debt and equity sales. We estimate our current cash resources are sufficient to fund our operations into but not beyond the second calendar quarter of 2025.

Our plan of operations is primarily focused on developing our initial product, which is currently in the proof-of-concept stage at this time. We are initially focusing on the treatment of pain associated with pancreatic cancer and we have designed our commercialization efforts around this as our first proposed indication for use.

We will need to raise additional capital to meet our obligations and execute our business plan. We estimate that we will require additional financing of approximately $40 million to fund our operations through our clinical phase. The timing and costs of clinical trials are difficult to predict and trial plans may change in response to evolving circumstances and as such the foregoing estimates may prove to be inaccurate. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds, we will be required to develop and implement an alternative plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead or scale back our business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful. The Company recognizes it will need to raise additional capital to continue to execute its business plan, including obtaining regulatory clearance for its products currently under development and commercializing and generating revenues from products under development. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company. A failure to raise sufficient capital, generate sufficient product revenues, control expenditures and regulatory matters, among other factors, will adversely impact the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations as they become due and payable and to achieve its intended business objectives. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to scale back its operations.

Summary of Cash Flows

Cash used in operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024, consisting of a net loss of $2.7 million and a decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $0.5 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities included sources of cash from a decrease in other current assets of $0.5 million and an increase in accrued expenses of $0.2 million offset by a use of cash decrease for accounts payable of $0.2 million. The decrease in other current assets was driven primarily by the receipt of funds from our marketing partner that were a holdback from our IPO and the amortization of prepaid insurance costs. The increase in accrued expenses and the decrease in accounts payable are offsetting and are driven primarily by the timing of receipt of vendor invoices. Non-cash items consisted of stock-based compensation of $0.4 million.

Cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $5 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024 related to the purchase of computer hardware and software.

Cash provided by financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 consisting of $2.8 million from the sale of common stock. We also paid $0.1 million in offering costs related to our IPO.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

None.

Employment Arrangements

We have agreements with key employees to provide certain benefits, including salary and other wage-related benefits, in the event of termination. In addition, the Company has adopted a severance policy for certain key members of executive management to provide certain benefits, including salary and other wage-related benefits, in the event of termination. In total, these benefits would amount to a range of $1.1 million to $1.6 million using the rate of compensation in effect at June 30, 2024.

23

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

The financial statements in this quarterly report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto. We consider critical accounting policies to be those that require more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements, including the following: research and development expenses, accrued liabilities, income tax valuations, warrants, and stock-based compensation. Management relies on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable in making its judgments and estimates. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Management believes its application of accounting policies, and the estimates inherently required therein, are reasonable. These accounting policies and estimates are periodically reevaluated, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change.

Our accounting policies are more fully described under the heading “Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Note 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 31, 2024.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that material information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who serves as our principal executive officer, and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), who serves as our principal accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Under the supervision, and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of June 30, 2024, of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon such evaluation and due to both the limited staffing of the Company at its early stage of development and the existence of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As previously disclosed in the Annual Report in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 31, 2024, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was, and continues to be, ineffective as of June 30, 2024 due to material weaknesses in our internal controls arising from a lack of segregation of duties; general technology controls; and financial statement reporting. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

24

Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to maintain effective segregation of duties on our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and has concluded that the control deficiency represents a material weakness. As previously disclosed, in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, we hired new executive officers and management with significant financial and accounting experience in both private and public companies. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, an additional experienced staff was hired in the accounting and finance department. We have added the use of additional consulting firms to assist with significant and complex accounting transactions and to assist with our segregation of duties and create a more structured financial statement reporting environment. Experienced personnel will be hired in the accounting and finance department and appropriate consultants will be upgraded as soon as it becomes economically feasible and sustainable. In addition, management has added additional mitigating controls with regards to cash disbursements; changes were made in our authorization processes to improve segregation of duties; and we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that our employees are working remotely. We are continually monitoring and assessing the situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

Other than as described above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent calendar quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, in the ordinary course of our business, we may be involved in legal proceedings, the outcomes of which may not be determinable. The results of litigation are inherently unpredictable. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in diversion of significant resources. We are not able to estimate an aggregate amount or range of reasonably possible losses for those legal matters for which losses are not probable and estimable. We have insurance policies covering potential losses where such coverage is cost effective.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” as found in the Annual Report in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 31, 2024.

The risks described in our Form 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 adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes to our risk factors from those set forth in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 31, 2024.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On June 17, 2024, we entered into an employment agreement with Brad Hauser pursuant to which Mr. Hauser agreed to serve as our chief executive officer and president for an initial three-year period, which may be extended on a year-to-year basis. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Hauser was granted a ten-year option (the “Inducement Options”) to purchase 900,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of the employment agreement. The option vests in four equal annual installments (or 225,000 shares each installment) on each of the succeeding four anniversary dates of the execution of the employment agreement, provided Mr. Hauser is employed by us on each vesting date. In the event of a “change of control” or the termination of the agreement by us without “cause” or by Mr. Hauser for “good reason,” all of the unvested options shall immediately vest. The Inducement Options were granted outside of our 2023 Stock Plan as an inducement material to Mr. Hauser’s entering into employment with us in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).

All of the securities were issued in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering, and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report, none of the Company’s directors or executive officers has adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (each as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).
