GUIDED THERAPEUTICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly SpectRx, Inc.), together with its wholly owned subsidiary, InterScan, Inc. (formerly Guided Therapeutics, Inc.), collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, is a medical technology company focused on developing innovative medical devices that have the potential to improve healthcare. The Company’s primary focus is the continued commercialization of its LuViva non-invasive cervical cancer detection device and extension of its cancer detection technology into other cancers, including esophageal. The Company’s technology, including products in research and development, primarily relates to biophotonics technology for the non-invasive detection of cancers.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The December 31, 2023 balances reported herein are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 have been included.

The Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by entrants into the medical device industry. This industry is characterized by an increasing number of participants, intense competition and a high failure rate. The Company has experienced net losses since its inception and, as of June 30, 2024, it had an accumulated deficit of approximately $152.1 million. To date, the Company has engaged primarily in research and development efforts and the early stages of marketing its products. The Company may not be successful in growing sales for its products. Moreover, required regulatory clearances or approvals may not be obtained in a timely manner, or at all. The Company’s products may not ever gain market acceptance and the Company may not ever generate significant revenues or achieve profitability. The development and commercialization of the Company’s products requires substantial development, regulatory, sales and marketing, manufacturing and other expenditures. The Company expects operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future as it continues to expend substantial resources to complete development of its products, obtain regulatory clearances or approvals, build its marketing, sales, manufacturing and finance capabilities, and conduct further research and development.

The Company is not organized by multiple operating segments for the purpose of making operating decisions or assessing performance. Accordingly, the Company operates in one reportable operating segment. The Company’s principal decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer. Management believes that its business operates as one reportable segment because: a) the Company measures profit and loss as a whole; b) the principal decision makers do not review information based on any operating segment; c) the Company does not maintain discrete financial information on any specific segment; d) the Company has not chosen to organize its business around different products and services, and e) the Company has not chosen to organize its business around geographic areas.

11

Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming it will continue as a going concern. The factors below raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.

At June 30, 2024, the Company had a negative working capital of approximately $4.7 million, accumulated deficit of $152.3 million, and incurred a net loss including preferred dividends of $1.2 million for the six months then ended. Stockholders’ deficit totaled approximately $4.7 million at June 30, 2024, primarily due to recurring net losses from operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received $0.4 million of proceeds from warrant exercises. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received $0.2 million of proceeds from the issuance of promissory notes payable. The Company will need to continue to raise capital in order to provide funding for its operations and FDA/NMPA approval process. If sufficient capital cannot be raised, the Company will continue its plans of curtailing operations by reducing discretionary spending and staffing levels and attempting to operate by only pursuing activities for which it has external financial support. However, there can be no assurance that such external financial support will be sufficient to maintain even limited operations or that the Company will be able to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all. In such a case, the Company might be required to enter into unfavorable agreements or, if that is not possible, be unable to continue operations, and to the extent practicable, liquidate and/or file for bankruptcy protection.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect net loss, revenues or stockholders’ equity.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas where estimates are used include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, valuation of share-based compensation and the valuation of the convertible note payable derivative liability. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial statements.

Accounting Standard Updates

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under consideration by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, management has not yet determined the effect, if any that the implementation of such proposed standards would have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be a cash equivalent.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company maintains a cash balance in a financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain federal limitations. At times, the Company’s cash balance exceeds these federal limitations. The amount in excess of insured limitations was nil and $156,112 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

12

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recorded net of allowances for chargebacks, cash discounts for prompt payment and credit losses. The Company estimates an allowance for expected credit losses by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. The corresponding expense for the credit loss allowance is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses. The credit loss allowance was immaterial as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Inventory Valuation

All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined substantially on a “first-in, first-out” basis.  Selling, general, and administrative expenses are not inventoried, but are charged to expense when incurred. Inventories consisted of the following as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

	(in thousands)
	June 30,			December 31,
	2024			2023
Raw materials	$	1,360		$	1,360
Work-in-progress		46			46
Finished goods		44			44
Inventory reserve		(818	)		(818	)
Total inventory	$	632		$	632

The company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Depreciation and amortization expense are included in general and administrative expense on the statements of operations. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment consisted of the following as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

13

	(in thousands)
	June 30,			December 31,
	2024			2023
Equipment	$	951		$	951
Software		634			634
Furniture and fixtures		17			17
Leasehold improvements		12			12
Subtotal		1,614			1,614
Less accumulated depreciation		(1,586	)		(1,582	)
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements, net
	$	28		$	32

Depreciation expense related to property and equipment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was not material.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the associated debt. Debt issuance costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability consistent with the debt discount.

Patent Costs (Principally Legal Fees)

Costs incurred in filing, prosecuting, and maintaining patents are recurring, and expensed as incurred. Maintaining patents are expensed as incurred as the Company has not yet received U.S. FDA approval and recovery of these costs is uncertain. Such costs were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Leases

A lease provides the lessee the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

Where an operating lease contains extension options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, the extension period is included in the calculation of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

The discount rate used to determine the commencement date present value of lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease, or when that is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its secured borrowing rate. Right-of-use assets include any lease payments required to be made prior to commencement and exclude lease incentives. Both right-of-use assets and lease liabilities exclude variable payments not based on an index or rate, which are treated as period costs. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain significant residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants. See Note 6 – “Commitments and Contingencies.”

14

Accrued Liabilities

Accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are summarized as follows:

	(in thousands)
	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Compensation	$	356	$	401
Professional fees		95		216
Interest		143		188
Vacation		29		27
Preferred dividends		210		228
Other accrued expenses		7		8
Total	$	840	$	1,068

Stock Subscription Payable

Cash received from investors for shares of common stock that have not yet been issued is recorded as a liability, which is presented within Accrued Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Revenue Recognition

ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, establishes a single and comprehensive framework which sets out how much revenue is to be recognized, and when. The core principle is that a vendor should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the vendor expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue will now be recognized by a vendor when control over the goods or services is transferred to the customer. The application of the core principle in ASC 606 is carried out in five steps:

· Step 1 – Identify the contract with a customer: a contract is defined as an agreement (including oral and implied), between two or more parties, that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for each of those rights and obligations. The contract needs to have commercial substance and it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled.

· Step 2 – Identify the performance obligations in the contract: a performance obligation in a contract is a promise (including implicit) to transfer a good or service to the customer. Each performance obligation should be capable of being distinct and is separately identifiable in the contract.

· Step 3 – Determine the transaction price: transaction price is the amount of consideration that the entity can be entitled to, in exchange for transferring the promised goods and services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

· Step 4 – Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: for a contract that has more than one performance obligation, the entity will allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation separately, in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. The acceptable methods of allocating the transaction price include adjusted market assessment approach, expected cost plus a margin approach, and the residual approach in limited circumstances. Discounts given should be allocated proportionately to all performance obligations unless certain criteria are met and reallocation of changes in standalone selling prices after inception is not permitted.

· Step 5 – Recognize revenue as and when the entity satisfies a performance obligation: the entity should recognize revenue at a point in time, except if it meets any of the three criteria, which will require recognition of revenue over time: the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the entity’s performance as the entity performs, and the entity does not create an asset that has an alternative use to the entity and the entity has the right to be paid for performance to date.

15

The Company’s revenues do not require significant estimates or judgments and are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, which occurs at a point in time, most frequently upon shipment of the product or receipt of the product, depending on shipment terms. Revenue is measured as the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company does not offer returns, discounts, loyalty programs or other sales incentive programs that are material to revenue recognition. The Company is not party to contracts that include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration.

Contract Balances

The Company defers payments received as revenue until earned based on the related contracts and applying ASC 606 as required. Deferred revenue totaled $747,780, $424,225, and $509,101 as of June 30, 2024, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Significant Customers

As of June 30, 2024, trade receivables of $2,047 (net of the allowance for credit losses of $450) were attributed to one customer. As of December 31, 2023, accounts receivable of $7,442 (net of the allowance for credit losses of $1,500) were attributed to two customers.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist of expenditures for research conducted by the Company and payments made under contracts with consultants or other outside parties and costs associated with internal and contracted clinical trials. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expense are expected to be settled in our income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company has filed for an extension for its 2023 federal and state corporate tax returns. Although the Company has been experiencing recurring losses, it is obligated to file tax returns for compliance with IRS regulations and that of applicable state jurisdictions. At June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $66.4 million of net operating losses carryforward available, $3.8 million of which will expire on December 31, 2024. The remaining net operating loss will be eligible to be carried forward for tax purposes at federal and applicable states level. A full valuation allowance has been recorded related the deferred tax assets generated from the net operating losses.

The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions based on a benefit recognition model. Provided that the tax position is deemed more likely than not of being sustained, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50.0% likely of being ultimately realized upon settlement. The tax position is derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not of being sustained. The Company classifies income tax related interest and penalties as interest expense and selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations.

16

Warrants

The Company has issued warrants, which allow the warrant holder to purchase one share of stock at a specified price for a specified period of time. The Company records equity instruments including warrants based on the fair value at the date of issue. The fair value of warrants classified as equity instruments at the date of issuance is estimated using the Black-Scholes or binomial option pricing models.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based awards in accordance with ASC Subtopic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires fair value measurement on the grant date and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors. The Company determines the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes model. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based upon the quoted market price of the shares of common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of stock-based awards is expensed over the requisite service periods of the awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of certain assumptions that require the Company’s judgment, including the expected term and the expected stock price volatility of the underlying stock. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change resulting in the use of different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $29,673 of expense related to stock options and $30,932 of expense for warrants issued to a director. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $206,306 of expense related to stock options, $116,000 of expense for stock issued to a director and $1,361,143 of expense for warrants issued to consultants and executives. 

Derivatives

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt issued to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

17

· Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company can access at the measurement date.

· Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

· Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s judgment about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

An asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques noted in ASC 820:

· Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

· Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

· Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount

The Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, however the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

3. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Common Stock

The Company has authorized 500,000,000 shares of common stock with $0.001 par value. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 56,266,661 and 54,105,101 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 2,161,560 shares of common stock, as summarized below:

	Number of Shares
Issuance of common stock for payment of Series D preferred dividends		125,505
Issuance of common stock for payment of Series E preferred dividends		52,332
Issuance of common stock for payment of Series F preferred dividends		444,621
Issuance of common stock for payment of Series F-2 preferred dividends		235,544
Issuance of common stock for payment of interest		903,558
Issuance of common stock to consultants		400,000
Total common stock issued during the six months ended June 30, 2024		2,161,560
Summary table of common stock transactions:
Shares outstanding at December 31, 2023		54,105,101
Common shares issued during the six months ended June 30, 2024		2,161,560
Shares outstanding at June 30, 2024		56,266,661

18

Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a $0.001 par value. The board of directors has the authority to issue these shares and to set dividends, voting and conversion rights, redemption provisions, liquidation preferences, and other rights and restrictions.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

The board designated 9,000 shares of preferred stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). Pursuant to the Series C certificate of designations, shares of Series C Preferred Stock are convertible into common stock by their holder at any time and may be mandatorily convertible upon the achievement of specified average trading prices for the Company’s common stock. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 286 shares outstanding with a conversion price of $0.50 per share, such that each share of Series C Preferred Stock would convert into approximately 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; for a total of 572,000 shares, subject to customary adjustments, including for any accrued but unpaid dividends and pursuant to certain anti-dilution provisions, as set forth in the Series C certificate of designations. The conversion price will automatically adjust downward to 80% of the then-current market price of the Company’s common stock 15 trading days after any reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, and 5 trading days after any conversions of the Company’s outstanding convertible debt.

Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to quarterly cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 12.0% until 42 months after the original issuance date (the “Dividend End Date”), payable in cash or, subject to certain conditions, the Company’s common stock. Unpaid accrued dividends were $120,120 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock prior to the Dividend End Date, the Company will also pay to the converting holder a “make-whole payment” equal to the number of unpaid dividends through the Dividend End Date on the converted shares. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the “make-whole payment” for a converted share of Series C Preferred Stock would convert to 200 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Series C Preferred Stock generally has no voting rights except as required by Delaware law. Upon the Company’s liquidation or sale to or merger with another corporation, each share will be entitled to a liquidation preference of $1,000, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.

Series C1 Convertible Preferred Stock

The board designated 20,250 shares of preferred stock as Series C1 Preferred Stock, of which 1,049.25 shares were issued and outstanding at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The C1 Convertible Preferred Stock has a conversion price of $0.50 per share, such that each share would convert into approximately 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, for a total of 2,098,500 shares of common stock.

The Series C1 Preferred Stock has terms that are substantially the same as the Series C Preferred Stock, except that the Series C1 Preferred Stock does not pay dividends (unless and to the extent declared on the common stock) or at-the-market “make-whole payments” and, while it has the same anti-dilution protections afforded the Series C Preferred Stock, it does not automatically reset in connection with a reverse stock split or conversion of our outstanding convertible debt.

Series C2 Convertible Preferred Stock

On August 31, 2018, the Company entered into agreements with certain holders of the Company’s Series C1 Convertible Preferred Stock, including the chairman of the Company’s board of directors, the former Chief Operating Officer (now the Chief Executive Officer) and a director of the Company pursuant to which those holders separately agreed to exchange each share of the Series C1 Preferred Stock held for one (1) share of the Company’s newly created Series C2 Convertible Preferred Stock. In total, for 3,262.25 shares of Series C1 Convertible Preferred Stock to be surrendered, the Company issued 3,262.25 shares of Series C2 Convertible Preferred Stock.

The Company measured the effect of the exchange as the excess of fair value of the exchanged instruments over the fair value of the original instruments and recorded a deemed dividend of approximately $65,296.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, management estimated the fair value of the warrants issued utilizing the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Expected term (years)	3.9
Volatility	290.6	%
Risk-free interest rate	3.7	%
Dividend yield	0.0	%

4.   STOCK OPTIONS

The Company’s Stock Plan (the “Plan”) allows for the issuance of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, and stock purchase rights. The exercise price of options was determined by the Company’s board of directors, but incentive stock options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date. Options historically granted have generally become exercisable over four years and expire ten years from the date of grant. The aggregate number of common shares that may be issued or reserved pursuant to stock option or other awards under the plan may not exceed 2,500,000 common shares.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized expense for stock options of $29,673 and $206,306, respectively. There was no stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

On February 10, 2023, the Company granted 925,000 stock options to employees, executives and directors of the Company. The stock options, which have exercise prices of $0.2629, will expire on February 9, 2033. One fourth of the stock options vested immediately, while the remaining options will vest over a period of 33 months, beginning on May 10, 2023.

On March 7, 2023, the Company granted 100,000 stock options, which have exercise prices of $0.27 and will expire on March 6, 2033, to Alan Grujic, upon appointing him to the Board of Directors. One fourth of the stock options vested immediately, while the remaining options will vest over a period of 33 months, beginning on June 7, 2023.

The following tables summarize the Company’s stock option activity and related information for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

	Number of Shares		Weighted-Average Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life	Aggregate Intrinsic Value of In-the-Money Options  (in thousands)
Options outstanding as of December 31, 2023		2,338,636	$	0.41	6.5 years	$	-
Options outstanding as of June 30, 2024		2,338,636	$	0.41	6.1 years	$	-
Options exercisable as of June 30, 2024		1,980,114	$	0.43	5.6 years	$	-

	Number of Shares			Weighted-Average Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life	Aggregate Intrinsic Value of In-the-Money Options  (in thousands)
Options outstanding as of December 31, 2022		1,500,000		$	0.49	7.5 years	$	-
Options granted		1,025,000		$	0.26
Options forfeited		(186,364	)	$	0.31
Options outstanding as of June 30, 2023		2,338,636		$	0.41	7.1 years	$	-
Options exercisable as of June 30, 2023		1,755,114		$	0.45	6.2 years	$	-

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the Company’s closing stock price as of June 30, 2024 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of options. As of June 30, 2024, there was $94,578 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense. Such costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.75 years. The weighted-average fair value of awards granted was nil and $0.26 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the applicable service period of the award. The service period is generally the vesting period. The Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following weighted-average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023:

Expected term (years)	10.0
Volatility	366.4	%
Risk-free interest rate	3.8	%
Dividend yield	0.00

On March 3, 2023, Dr. Gene Cartwright retired from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and as a member of the Board. Upon his departure, Mr. Cartwright forfeited 186,364 unvested stock options. On May 2, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an extension of the expiration date of Mr. Cartwright’s vested options to June 1, 2025. Management measured the modified stock option award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recorded expense of $59,216 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing the excess fair value of the modified award over the original award. Management estimated the fair value of the modified award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions:

Expected term (years)	2.0
Volatility	182.8	%
Risk-free interest rate	4.0	%
Dividend yield	0.0	%

5.   LITIGATION AND CLAIMS

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the dispositions of these matters, individually or in aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. However, depending on the amount and timing of such disposition, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of these matters could materially affect the future results of operations or cash flows in a particular year.

As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, there was no accrual recorded for any potential losses related to pending litigation.

Related Party Contracts

On June 5, 2016, the Company entered into a license agreement with Shenghuo Medical, LLC pursuant to which the Company granted Shenghuo an exclusive license to manufacture, sell and distribute LuViva in Taiwan, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Shenghuo was already the Company’s exclusive distributor in China, Macau and Hong Kong, and the license extended to manufacturing in those countries as well. Under the terms of the license agreement, once Shenghuo was capable of manufacturing LuViva in accordance with ISO 13485 for medical devices, Shenghuo would pay the Company a royalty equal to $2.00 or 20% of the distributor price (subject to a discount under certain circumstances), whichever is higher, per disposable distributed within Shenghuo’s exclusive territories. In connection with the license grant, Shenghuo was to underwrite the cost of securing approval of LuViva with Chinese Food and Drug Administration. At its option, Shenghuo also would provide up to $1.0 million in furtherance of the Company’s efforts to secure regulatory approval for LuViva from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, in exchange for the right to receive payments equal to 2% of the Company’s future sales in the United States, up to an aggregate of $4.0 million. Pursuant to the license agreement, Shenghuo had the option to have a designee appointed to the Company’s board of directors (current director Richard Blumberg is the designee).

25

On September 6, 2016, the Company entered into a royalty agreement with one of its directors, John Imhoff, and another stockholder, Dolores Maloof, pursuant to which the Company sold to them a royalty of future sales of single-use cervical guides for LuViva. Under the terms of the royalty agreement, and for consideration of $50,000, the Company will pay them an aggregate perpetual royalty initially equal to $0.10, and from and after October 2, 2016, equal to $0.20, for each cervical guide that the Company sells (or that is sold by a third party pursuant to a licensing arrangement with the Company).

On January 22, 2020, the Company entered into a promotional agreement with a related party, which is partially owned by Mr. Blumberg, to provide investor and public relations services for a period of two years. As compensation for these services, the Company agreed to issue a total of 5,000,000 warrants, broken into four tranches of 1,250,000. The warrants have a strike price of $0.25 and are subject to vesting based upon the close of the Series D offering and a minimum share price based on the 30-day VWAP. If the minimum share price per the terms of the agreement is not achieved, the warrants will expire three years after the scheduled issuance date. The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes model on the grant date of January 22, 2020. As of June 30, 2024, unrecognized consulting expense associated with the agreement was nil and 2,500,000 of the warrants had been issued, of which 1,750,000 were issued to Mr. Blumberg and 750,000 were issued to non-related parties.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Blumberg to exchange 875,000 of the outstanding warrants for 831,250 warrants with a strike price of $0.20, which were exercised during the first quarter of 2023.

On March 10, 2021, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Richard Blumberg. As a result of the consulting agreement Mr. Blumberg provided $350,000 to the Company in exchange for the following: (1) 3,600,000 3-year warrants with exercise prices ranging from $0.30 - $0.60, and (2) 1,600,000 common stock shares. On September 30, 2021, the Company and Mr. Blumberg entered into an amended agreement, pursuant to which issuance of the warrants and common shares became predicated on the Company obtaining financing or a series of financings resulting in minimum receipts of at least $1.0 million. Upon receipt of the funds, the Company agreed to issue the common shares and warrants owed to Mr. Blumberg in four equal tranches, to be issued every six months, beginning six months after the financing transaction. On November 11, 2022, the Company and Mr. Blumberg entered into an amended agreement, upon which the exercise prices of the warrants were changed to $0.30. The Company estimated the fair value of the modified warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions:

Expected term (years)	3.0
Volatility	108.7	%
Risk-free interest rate	4.3	%
Dividend yield	0.0	%

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company issued 900,000 warrants to Mr. Blumberg, pursuant to the agreement, and recognized expense of nil and $590,840, respectively. Total unrecognized expense for the warrants was nil as of June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $7,425 and $111,833 of expense for the shares of common stock due to Mr. Blumberg, respectively. As 400,000 shares had not been issued as of June 30, 2024, the Company estimated the total amount of expense for the future issuances using the closing price of the Company’s stock as of June 30, 2024.

On August 24, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with Ironstone Capital Corp. and Alan Grujic (the “Advisory Group”) whereby the Advisory Group agreed to perform marketing and investor relations services over a term of twelve months, commencing on the closing of a financing of at least $2.5 million. In consideration for these services, the Company issued 800,000 warrants (“first tranche of warrants”) with an exercise price of $0.50 to Mr. Grujic, which were due within 10 business days of closing the financing transaction (the “Transaction”) that took place in September 2022. In the event the Company’s 20 trading day variable weighted average price (“VWAP”) exceeds $1.00 within one year of the closing of the financing, the Company would have issued 600,000 warrants (“second tranche of warrants”) with an exercise price of $0.75 to Mr. Grujic. In the event the Company’s 20 trading day VWAP exceeds $1.50 within two years of the closing of the financing, the Company will issue an additional 600,000 warrants (“third tranche of warrants”) to Mr. Grujic. Once issued, the warrants vest immediately and will expire two years from the date of issuance. If the Company’s U.S. clinical study is not completed and filed with the U.S. FDA or if the Chinese NMPA (formerly Chinese FDA) approval is not granted by each due date for reaching each respective pricing milestone, then the due date for reaching each milestone shall be extended by six months. As of June 30, 2024, the deadline to achieve the stock price of $1.50 has passed and the second tranche warrants will therefore not be issued.

26

Pursuant to the agreement, the Company also agreed to pay the Advisory Group $2,000 per month for 12 months, starting the month after the closing of the Transaction. Subsequently, the agreement was amended to extend the term of the agreement to September of 2024.

The Company estimated the fair value of the first tranche warrants issued in September 2022 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Expected term (years)	2.0
Volatility	173.0	%
Risk-free interest rate	3.4	%

On July 24, 2019, the Company agreed to grant Shandong Yaohua Medical Instrument Corporation (“SMI”) (1) exclusive manufacturing rights, excepting the disposable cervical guides for the Republic of Turkey, and the final assembly rights for Hungary, and (2) exclusive distribution and sales for LuViva in jurisdictions, subject to the terms and conditions described below.

27

First, SMI shall complete the payment for parts, per the purchase order, for five additional LuViva devices. Second, in consideration for the $885,144 that the Company received, SMI will receive 12,147 shares of common stock. Third, SMI shall honor all existing purchase orders it has executed to date with the Company, in order to maintain jurisdiction sales and distribution rights. If SMI needs to purchase cervical guides, then it will do so at a cost including labor, plus ten percent markup. The Company will provide 200 cervical guides at no cost for the clinical trials. Fourth, the Company and SMI will make best efforts to sell devices after CFDA approval. With an initial estimate of year one sales of 200 LuViva devices; year two sales of 500 LuViva devices; year three sales of 1,000 LuViva devices; and year four sales of 1,250 LuViva devices. Fifth, SMI shall pay for entire costs of securing approval of LuViva with the Chinese FDA. Sixth, SMI shall arrange, at its sole cost, for a manufacturer in China to build tooling to support manufacturing. In addition, SMI retains the right to manufacture for China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, where SMI has distribution and sales rights. For each single-use cervical guide sold by SMI in the jurisdictions, SMI shall transfer funds to escrow agent at a rate of $1.90 per device chip. If within 18 months of the license’s effective date, SMI fails to achieve commercialization of LuViva in China, SMI shall no longer have any rights to manufacture, distribute or sell LuViva. Commercialization is defined as: filing an application with the Chinese FDA for the approval of LuViva; any assembly or manufacture of the devices or disposables that begins in China; and purchase of at least 10 devices and disposables for clinical evaluations and regulatory use and or sales in the jurisdictions.

On August 12, 2021, the Company executed an amendment to its agreement with SMI. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the parties agreed that if by October 30, 2022, SMI fails to achieve commercialization of LuViva in China, SMI shall no longer have any rights to manufacture, distribute or sell LuViva. On March 3, 2023, the Company entered into a third amendment with SMI pursuant to which the Company extended the deadline for SMI to achieve commercialization of LuViva in China to April 30, 2024.

On February 17, 2024, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the agreement with SMI. Under the terms of the amended agreement, SMI agreed to pay the Company $531,100 on or prior to March 15, 2024. On March 18, 2024, SMI, through SMI’s authorized distribution partner, initiated a wire payment of $330,000 in partial satisfaction of $531,100 owed to the Company. The payment was received by the Company on March 20, 2024. As the full payment was not received by March 15, 2024, the Company had the right to terminate the agreement with two weeks’ notice to SMI, however the Company did not exercise this option. 

The amended agreement also provides for a timeline for the Company to deliver inventory during 2024, including LuViva devices and components, as well as approximately 1,640,000 RFID chips. In consideration, SMI agreed to pay a total of $4.4 million during 2024, including the payment due on March 15, 2024.

On March 27, 2024, the parties entered into a Standstill Agreement (the “Standstill Agreement”). The parties agreed that SMI will make a nonrefundable payment of $100,000 to the Company prior to March 31, 2024. In exchange, the Company will not initiate any legal proceedings, including but not limited to filing a lawsuit, obtaining a judgement, or enforcing any security interest, as related to the March shortfall in payments of $201,100, until April 30, 2024. Upon paying $100,000, SMI will have the option to extend the Standstill Agreement until June 15, 2024 by making a nonrefundable payment to the Company of $150,000. One additional payment of $150,000 may be made to extend the standstill rights until July 30, 2024, if mutually agreed upon. If SMI is unable to make the payments pursuant to the Standstill Agreement, the Company agreed to seek loans on behalf of SMI to cover the payments. SMI agreed to reimburse the Company for these loans along with all expenses associated with them within three months of the loans being issued as long as the loans are used solely for (1) parts for LuViva devices to be used by SMI for marketing and promotional activities, or (2) labor or consulting fees connected to providing parts, assemblies of devices or disposables to SMI. Additionally, SMI confirmed its commitment to make payments to GTI of at least $4.0 million during 2024 and as part of this commitment will make payments of $200,000 and $500,000 by the end of May 2024 and July 2024, respectively, to ensure that the program commercialization proceeds according to schedule.  

On April 26, 2024, the parties extended the Standstill Agreement (“Standstill Extension”) until July 30, 2024, contingent on payments from SMI totaling $770,000 on or before July 30, 2024. In addition, because SMI did not make its scheduled payment of $100,000 on or before March 31, 2024, the Company can place a 25% surcharge on the cost of goods and services already paid for by SMI. Additionally, the Standstill Extension reduced the number of RFID chips the Company committed to shipping by 240,000 and reduced the total amount due from SMI in 2024 by $247,545. The other terms from the Amendment and Standstill Agreement remained intact.

The Company and SMI executed an extension to the Standstill Agreement (the “Second Standstill Extension”) subsequent to June 30, 2024. Please see Note 12, “Subsequent Events” for details.

10% Senior Unsecured Convertible Debenture

On May 17, 2021, the Company issued 10% Senior Unsecured convertible debentures to investors, which matured on May 17, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company subscribed $1,130,000 of the $1,000 convertible debentures. The terms of the debentures are as follows: 1) the principal amount of some or all of the convertible debentures and accrued interest are convertible into shares of common stock at the holder’s option, at a price of $0.50 per common stock share (the “conversion price”), subject to adjustment in certain events, at any time prior to maturity date; 2) upon successful uplist to a U.S. National Exchange, the note will automatically convert into the uplisting financing; 3) each debenture unit included 1,000 common stock warrants with an exercise price of $0.80 and an expiration date of May 17, 2023; 4) if a Change of Control (as defined in the Convertible Debenture Certificate) occurs prior to the Maturity Date, unless the holder elects in writing to convert the Convertible Debentures into shares of common stock, the Company will repay in cash upon the closing of such Change of Control all outstanding principal and accrued interest under each Convertible Debenture plus a Change of Control premium equal to an additional 3% of the outstanding principal sum under such Convertible Debenture. Prior to the closing of an Change of Control, in lieu of repayment as set forth in the preceding sentence, the holder has the right to elect in writing to convert, effective immediately prior to the effective date of such Change of Control, all outstanding principal and accrued Interest under the Convertible Debentures into shares of common stock at the Conversion Price; 5) Subject to a holder’s option of electing conversion prior to the Redemption Date (as such term is defined below), on or after the date that is 24 months from the Closing Date if the daily volume weighted average trading price of the shares of common stock is $1.50 per share of common stock or more for each trading day over a 30 consecutive trading day period, the Company may, at any time (the “Redemption Date”), at its option, redeem all, or any portion of the Convertible Debentures for either: (i) a cash payment (in the form of a certified cheque or bank draft) that is equal to all outstanding principal and accrued interest under each Convertible Debenture up to the Redemption Date; or (ii) by issuing and delivering shares of common stock to the holders of Convertible Debentures at a deemed price of $0.50 per share of common stock that is equal to all outstanding principal and accrued interest under each Convertible Debenture up to the Redemption Date, or any combination of (i) or (ii), upon not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior written notice in the manner provided in the Debenture Certificate, to the holder of Convertible Debentures.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance due on the 10% Senior Secured Convertible Debenture was $1,130,000 and total accrued interest was $24,860 and $58,494, respectively. After the May 17, 2024 maturity date, the interest rate increased to the default rate of 18.0%. The bond payable discount and unamortized debt issuance costs as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are presented below (in thousands):

1800 Diagonal Lending Note

On June 11, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement and contingently convertible note with 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC (“Diagonal Lending”). The convertible note issued to Diagonal Lending had a total principal balance of $100,050 and an original issue discount of $13,050. The note, which will accrue total interest of $14,007, will mature on April 15, 2025. A payment of $57,029 is due on the note on December 15, 2024. The remaining balance due, including accrued interest, will be paid in monthly payments of $14,257 from January 15, 2025 through April 15, 2025. The note may be prepaid within 120 days of issuance for a discount of 2.0 -3.0 % of the principal and accrued interest due. Any amount of principal or interest on the note which is not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of the lessor of 22% or the maximum permitted by law. The Company may not sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of any significant portion of its assets outside of the ordinary course of business without the express permission of Diagonal Lending. In the event of default, the note will become immediately due and payable in an amount equal to 150.0% times the sum of the then outstanding principal, accrued interest and default interest.

In an event of default, the unpaid portion of the note and accrued interest is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion rate equal to the variable conversion price. The variable conversion price is equal to the lowest closing price of our common stock during the ten days prior to the conversion date multiplied by 65.0%. The Company assessed this embedded conversion feature and determined that it is not considered clearly and closely related to the host note, and therefore meets the definition of a derivative. Therefore, this embedded conversion feature is required to be bifurcated from the note and accounted for separately as a derivative liability. The Company estimated the fair value of the combined derivative liability as of June 11, 2024, which was recorded as a liability and as a discount net against the subordinated convertible notes. The Company is required to remeasure the combined derivative liability to its then fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date, through an adjustment to current earnings (see Note 11 for further details on the Company’s fair value measurement).

30

At June 30, 2024, the balance due on the note was $100,000 and total accrued interest was $1,166. The note payable discount, unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized debt discount (including the beneficial conversion feature) as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is presented below (in thousands):

Auctus Convertible Note

On December 17, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement and convertible note with Auctus Fund, LLC (“Auctus’). The convertible note issued to Auctus was for a total of $2.4 million. The note may not have been prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly allowed. Any amount of principal or interest on the note which was not paid when due shall bore interest at the rate of the lessor of 24% or the maximum permitted by law (the “default interest”). The variable conversion prices equaled the lesser of: (i) the lowest trading price on the issue date, and (ii) the variable conversion price. The variable conversion price was 95% multiplied by the market price (the market price means the average of the five lowest trading prices during the period beginning on the issue date and ending on the maturity date), minus $0.04 per share, provided however that in no event could the variable conversion price be less than $0.15. If an event of default under this note occurred and/or the note was not extinguished in its entirety prior to December 17, 2020, the $0.15 price floor no longer applied.

On September 1, 2022, the Company agreed to exchange certain debt and equity owned by Auctus pursuant to an Exchange Agreement between the Company and Auctus (the “Exchange Agreement”). Immediately prior to the Exchange Agreement, Auctus held $1,228,183 of debt, including an early prepayment penalty of $350,000, default premiums of $281,256, and $91,555 in interest payable. Auctus agreed to reduce the amount owed to $710,911 and to revert the May 27, 2020 note to its original term. Additionally, Auctus agreed to exchange 8,775,000 warrants that were priced between $0.15 and $0.20 and the $350,000 prepayment penalty for 3,900,000 shares of common stock, warrants to purchase 3,900,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share and warrants to purchase 3,900,000 shares of common stock at $0.65 per share (the “Exchange”). As a result of the Exchange Agreement, Auctus forgave a default penalty of $225,444. Following the Exchange and Repayment, the Company will make payments to Auctus in four installments, over an 18-month period. During 2024, Auctus agreed to apply the payments to the principal portion of the debt before applying the funds to the accrued interest. As a result, management has reclassified a portion of the current and prior period outstanding debt to the accrued interest as described below.

The total outstanding balance of the convertible note was $15,000 and $25,000 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The balances are included within “Short-term convertible notes payable” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Total accrued interest on the Auctus convertible note was $115,646 and $121,995 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

On March 22, 2021, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Richard Fowler. As of December 31, 2020, the Company owed Mr. Fowler $546,214 ($412,624 in deferred salary and $133,590 in accrued interest). The Company exchanged $50,000 of the amount owed of $546,214 for 50 shares of Series F-2 Preferred Stock (convertible into 200,000 shares of common stock), and a $150,000 unsecured note. The note accrues interest at the rate of 6% (18% in the event of default) beginning on March 22, 2022 and is payable in monthly installments of $3,600 for four years, with the first payment due on March 15, 2022. The effective interest rate of the note is 6.18%.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, Mr. Fowler forgave $16,401 and $33,060 of the outstanding balance of deferred compensation, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, Mr. Fowler forgave $17,450 and $35,171 of the outstanding balance of deferred compensation, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, Mr. Fowler may forgive up to $96,276 of the remaining deferred compensation if the Company complies with the repayment plan described above. The reductions in the outstanding balance met the criteria for troubled debt. The basic criteria are that the borrower is troubled, i.e., they are having financial difficulties, and a concession is granted by the creditor. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the outstanding principal amount owed on the note was $63,731 and $82,945, respectively.

Future debt obligations at June 30, 2024 for debt owed to related parties is as follows:

10.  INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders, amounts are computed by dividing the net income (loss) plus preferred stock dividends and deemed dividends on preferred stock by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

33

Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders amounts are computed by dividing the net income (loss) plus preferred stock dividends, deemed dividends on preferred stock, after-tax interest on convertible debt and convertible dividends by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, plus Series C, Series C-1, Series C-2, Series D, Series E, Series F and Series F-2 convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, convertible preferred dividends, warrants and stock options convertible into common stock shares.

During a period of net loss, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same as the assumed exercise of warrants and the conversion of convertible debt and preferred stock are anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, all stock options, convertible preferred stock, convertible debt and warrants were anti-dilutive and were therefore excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share. At June 30, 2024 and 2023, these instruments were convertible into 53,674,649 and 54,482,496 common shares, respectively.

The following table sets forth pertinent data relating to the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders (in thousands, except for per-share data):

	June 30,
	2024			2023

Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding		55,368			50,138
Net loss per share (diluted)		(0.02	)		(0.05	)

11.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The convertible notes payable derivative liability is considered a Level 3 measurement, due to the significant unobservable inputs in the valuation, which are based on a forecast of the Company’s future stock performance and, as the note payable is contingently convertible upon an event of default, management’s estimate of the likelihood and timing of conversion.

Based on the terms and provisions of the Diagonal Lending note payable, management built a pricing simulation that predicts the Company’s future stock prices using historical volatility. Our model is designed to utilize the Company’s best estimates of the timing and likelihood of a conversion of the note payable to calculate the variable conversion price as of the future conversion date.

The key inputs to the valuation model that was utilized to estimate the fair value of the bifurcated conversion option included:

· The forecasted future stock prices were determined using historical stock prices and the Company’s equity volatility.

· The expected conversion price was determined using the forecast and the contractual term of the convertible note agreement.

· The probability of an event of default and timing of a future conversion are based on management’s best estimate of the future settlement of the convertible note.

The following tables present the fair value of the bifurcated conversion option:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act), which provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements made by us. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, including statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, beliefs, business strategies, future events, business conditions, results of operations, financial position, business outlook, business trends, and other information, may be forward-looking statements. Words such as “might,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “estimates,” “expects,” “continues,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “intends,” “believes,” “forecasts,” “future,” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based upon our current expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections, and various assumptions, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Our expectations, beliefs, estimates, and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates, and projections will occur or can be achieved and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or anticipated results, including those that may be set forth under "Risk Factors" below and elsewhere in this report, as well as in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Examples of these uncertainties and risks include, but are not limited to:

· access to sufficient debt or equity capital to meet our operating and financial needs;

· the extent of dilution of the holdings of our existing stockholders upon the issuance, conversion or exercise of securities issued as part of our capital raising efforts;

· the extent to which certain debt holders may call the notes to be paid;

· the effectiveness and ultimate market acceptance of our products and our ability to generate sufficient sales revenues to sustain our growth and strategy plans;

· whether our products in development will prove safe, feasible and effective;

· whether and when we or any potential strategic partners will obtain required regulatory approvals in the markets in which we plan to operate;

· our need to achieve manufacturing scale-up in a timely manner, and our need to provide for the efficient manufacturing of sufficient quantities of our products;

· the lack of immediate alternate sources of supply for some critical components of our products;

· our ability to establish and protect the proprietary information on which we base our products, including our patent and intellectual property position;

· The impact of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on economic conditions in general and on our business operations;

· the need to fully develop the marketing, distribution, customer service and technical support and other functions critical to the success of our product lines;

· the dependence on potential strategic partners or outside investors for funding, development assistance, clinical trials, distribution and marketing of some of our products; and

· other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in our reports filed with the SEC.

36

These forward-looking statements reflect our management’s beliefs and views with respect to future events and are based on estimates and assumptions as of the date of this filing and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW

We are a medical technology company focused on developing innovative medical devices that have the potential to improve healthcare. Our primary focus is the sales and marketing of our LuViva® Advanced Cervical Scan non-invasive cervical cancer detection device. The underlying technology of LuViva primarily relates to the use of biophotonics for the non-invasive detection of cancers. LuViva is designed to identify cervical cancers and precancers painlessly, non-invasively and at the point of care by scanning the cervix with light, then analyzing the reflected and fluorescent light.

LuViva provides a less invasive and painless alternative to conventional tests for cervical cancer screening and detection. Additionally, LuViva improves patient well-being not only because it eliminates pain, but also because it is convenient to use and provides rapid results at the point of care. We focus on two primary applications for LuViva: first, as a cancer screening tool in the developing world, where infrastructure to support traditional cancer-screening methods is limited or non-existent, and second, as a triage following traditional screening in the developed world, where a high number of false positive results cause a high rate of unnecessary and ultimately costly follow-up tests.

We are a Delaware corporation, originally incorporated in 1992 under the name “SpectRx, Inc.” and, on February 22, 2008, changed our name to Guided Therapeutics, Inc. At the same time, we renamed our wholly owned subsidiary, InterScan, which originally had been incorporated as “Guided Therapeutics.”

Since our inception, we have raised capital through the public and private sale of debt and equity, funding from collaborative arrangements, and grants.

Our prospects must be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by entrants into the medical device industry. This industry is characterized by an increasing number of participants, intense competition and a high failure rate. We have experienced operating losses since our inception and, as of June 30, 2024, we have an accumulated deficit of approximately $152.1 million. To date, we have engaged primarily in research and development efforts and the early stages of marketing our products. We do not have significant experience in manufacturing, marketing or selling our products. We may not be successful in growing sales for our products. Moreover, required regulatory clearances or approvals may not be obtained in a timely manner, or at all. Our products may not ever gain market acceptance and we may not ever generate significant revenues or achieve profitability. The development and commercialization of our products requires substantial development, regulatory, sales and marketing, manufacturing and other expenditures. We expect our operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to expend substantial resources to complete commercialization of our products, obtain regulatory clearances or approvals, build our marketing, sales, manufacturing and finance capabilities, and conduct further research and development.

37

Our product revenues to date have been limited. Our historical and expected future revenue has been and will be derived from sales of LuViva devices and disposables.

Current Demand for LuViva

Based on written agreements and ongoing discussions with our distributors, we currently hold and expect to generate additional purchase orders for approximately $4.2 million in LuViva devices and disposables and expect those purchase orders to result in actual sales of $1.5 to $2.5 million within the next twelve months, representing what we view as current demand for our products. We cannot be assured that we will generate all or any of these additional purchase orders, or that existing orders will not be canceled by the distributors or that parts to build product will be available to meet demand, such that existing orders will result in actual sales. Because we have a short history of sales of our products, we cannot confidently predict future sales of our products beyond this time frame and cannot be assured of any particular number of sales. Accordingly, we have not identified any particular trends with regard to sales of our products. In order to increase demand for LuViva, we are focused on three primary markets: the United States, China and Europe.

In the United States, the Company is actively pursuing FDA approval by initiating a clinical trial protocol involving approximately 400 study participants, with the exact number depending in part on the numbers of women in the study both with and without cervical disease. The protocol was drafted with input from FDA and at least two prestigious clinical centers that are participating in the study. In 2023, FDA completed its review of the protocol and had no further recommendations or questions. Also in 2023, four clinical sites agreed to participate in the study and all four of the study sites are fully IRB approved. All four sites have received LuViva devices and have been trained on their use. One site unexpectedly needed additional approvals from the local hospital that is contributing subjects to the study, but that approval was granted on March 28, 2024. All of the four sites have undergone one or more clinical study monitoring visits by Company clinical study monitors. Clinical study monitoring visits are required by FDA to ensure that the study is being conducted under FDA guidelines and in compliance with the study protocol. Findings from the initial clinical study monitoring visits include:

1) Approximately 200 patients have been enrolled and tested, which represents approximately half of the patients needed to complete the study.

2)	There have not been any adverse events reported related to the use of LuViva.
3)	All three monitored clinical study sites are adhering to the study protocol and are completing the necessary case report forms according to FDA standards.

Based on current and expected enrollment rates, we expect the study to be completed in 2024, however there can be no assurance that the study will progress within the expected timeline.

Regarding international sales efforts, our focus has been on achieving regulatory approval to sell LuViva in China. Our Chinese partner, SMI, has reported to us that as of June 30, 2024, all study subjects needed for Chinese National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) approval have been enrolled and tested. There have been no reports of any adverse events from the study associated with the LuViva device. Filing with the NMPA was temporarily delayed during the second quarter of 2024 due to an unexpected medical leave taken by a clinical medical administrator at one of the clinical sites. SMI believes that they can file the clinical report with NMPA during 2024 and that approval could occur in 2024, although there can be no assurance that NMPA filing and approval will be completed within the projected time frames.

In Europe, our distribution partners, Newmars Medical Technologies (“Newmars”), reported that sales efforts have restarted after delays caused by Covid-19. They are now actively pursuing potential customers in Poland, Hungary and Romania, where we have obtained the required approvals to sell our products though Newmars.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our material accounting policies, which we believe are the most critical to investors understanding of our financial results and condition, are discussed below. Because we are still early in our enterprise development, the number of these policies requiring explanation is limited. When we begin to generate revenue from different sources, we expect that the number of applicable policies and complexity of the judgments required will increase.

38

Revenue Recognition: ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers establishes a single and comprehensive framework which sets out how much revenue is to be recognized, and when. The core principle is that a vendor should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the vendor expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue will now be recognized by a vendor when control over the goods or services is transferred to the customer. In contrast, Revenue based revenue recognition around an analysis of the transfer of risks and rewards; this now forms one of a number of criteria that are assessed in determining whether control has been transferred. The application of the core principle in ASC 606 is carried out in five steps:

Step 1 – Identify the contract with a customer: a contract is defined as an agreement (including oral and implied), between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for each of those rights and obligations. The contract needs to have commercial substance and it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled.

Step 2 – Identify the performance obligations in the contract: a performance obligation in a contract is a promise (including implicit) to transfer a good or service to the customer. Each performance obligation should be capable of being distinct and is separately identifiable in the contract.

Step 3 – Determine the transaction price: transaction price is the amount of consideration that the entity can be entitled to, in exchange for transferring the promised goods and services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Step 4 – Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: for a contract that has more than one performance obligation, the entity will allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation separately, in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. The acceptable methods of allocating the transaction price include adjusted market assessment approach, expected cost plus a margin approach, and the residual approach in limited circumstances. Discounts given should be allocated proportionately to all performance obligations unless certain criteria are met and reallocation of changes in standalone selling prices after inception is not permitted.

Step 5 – Recognize revenue as and when the entity satisfies a performance obligation: the entity should recognize revenue at a point in time, except if it meets any of the three criteria, which will require recognition of revenue over time: the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the entity’s performance as the entity performs, and the entity does not create an asset that has an alternative use to the entity and the entity has the right to be paid for performance to date.

Valuation of Deferred Taxes: We account for income taxes in accordance with the liability method. Under the liability method, we recognize deferred assets and liabilities based upon anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We establish a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be utilized against future taxable income.

Valuation of Equity Instruments Granted to Employee, Service Providers and Investors: On the date of issuance, the instruments are recorded at their fair value as determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

Allowance for Credit Losses: Trade receivables are recorded net of allowances for chargebacks, cash discounts for prompt payment and credit losses. The Company estimates an allowance for expected credit losses by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. The corresponding expense for the credit loss allowance is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses. The credit loss allowance was immaterial as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Inventory Valuation: All inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined substantially on a “first-in, first-out” basis. Selling, general, and administrative expenses are not inventoried, but are charged to expense when purchased.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023

Sales Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold: Revenues from the sale of LuViva devices and disposables for the three months ended June 30, 2024, were nil, compared to $44,238 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Cost of goods sold was nil during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $33,038 during the three months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, we have a deferred revenue balance of $747,780, which will be recognized as revenue when our products are shipped, which is expected to occur late in 2024 upon receiving NMPA approval.

39

Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were $221,565 and $66,164 during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of $155,401 or 234.9%, was primarily due to additional $153,764 of costs for sponsored research related to our clinical trials during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Sales and Marketing Expenses: Sales and marketing expenses were $69,231 and $60,930 during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of $8,300, or 13.6%, was primarily due to $5,008 of additional rent expense allocated to our sales & marketing department and $2,663 of additional travel expenses for sales trips.

General and Administrative Expense: General and administrative expenses were $363,989 and $1,389,034 during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease of $1,025,045, or 73.8%, was primarily driven by a decrease of $697,338 in payroll and benefits (including payroll taxes), which was primarily due to a one-time charge of $679,959 recorded for warrants issued in relation to the appointment of Dr. Mark Faupel as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer during the prior year period. Additionally, the Company recognized $59,216 of additional stock-based compensation expense during the prior year period due to the modification of a stock option award and $30,745 of additional expense for stock options for which the related expense was fully recognized as of the end of the prior period. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was also due to a decline of $326,502 of expense for consulting and legal fees, which was primarily driven by $336,745 less expense recognized for shares of common stock and warrants issued to Mr. Blumberg and $29,706 less expense for warrants issued to Mr. Grujic. These decreases were offset by an increase of $39,949 in fees paid to consultants and other third-party professional services providers.

Interest Expense: Interest expense was $75,372 and $68,711 during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of $6,661, or 9.7%, was primarily due to an $8,127 increase in interest due on a local tax liability and $2,019 of additional interest incurred for the promissory note issued to Diagonal Lending during the three months ended June 30, 2024. These increases were offset by decreases in interest expense due to declining balances in other notes payable outstanding.

Change in fair value of derivative liability: The change in the fair value of our derivative liability resulted in a loss of $7,350 during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The change in the fair value was attributed to changes in our forecasted stock price.  

Gain from Extinguishment of Debt: The gain from extinguishment of debt of $16,401 and $17,450 during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was materially consistent period over period and was due to forgiveness of debt from our creditors.

Other Income: Other income was $11,515 and $248 during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in other income was primarily due to an adjustment of a liability during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Preferred Stock Dividends: Expense related to preferred stock dividends of $48,929 and $47,497 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was materially consistent over the two periods.

Net Loss: Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $758,180 and $1,603,219 during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The reasons for the decrease in our net loss are outlined above.

There was no income tax benefit recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023, due to recurring net operating losses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023

Sales Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold: Revenues from the sale of LuViva devices and disposables for the six months ended June 30, 2024, were $5,720, compared to $66,287 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Cost of goods sold was $1,875 during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $41,827 during the six months ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, we have a deferred revenue balance of $747,780, which will be recognized as revenue when our products are shipped, which is expected to occur late in 2024 upon receiving NMPA approval.

Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were $275,119 and $73,310 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of $201,809 or 275.3%, was primarily due to an increase in costs for clinical trials, including a $186,074 increase in sponsored research costs and $9,593 additional travel expenses for trials during the in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

40

Sales and Marketing Expenses: Sales and marketing expenses were $141,803 and $133,975 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of $7,827, or 5.8% was primarily due to an increase of $7,324 in rent expense allocated to our sales & marketing department.

General and Administrative Expense: General and administrative expenses were $600,216 and $2,165,467 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease of $1,565,251, or 72.3%, was primarily driven by a decrease of $771,892 in payroll and benefits (including payroll taxes), which was primarily due to a one-time charge of $679,959 recorded for warrants issued in relation to the appointment of Dr. Mark Faupel as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer during the prior year period. Additionally, the Company recognized $59,216 of additional stock-based compensation expense during the prior year period due to the modification of a stock option award. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was also due to a decline of $800,040 of expense for consulting and legal fees, which was primarily driven by (1) $696,784 less expense recognized for shares of common stock and warrants issued to Mr. Blumberg, (2) $59,412 less expense for warrants issued to Mr. Grujic and (3) a decline of $43,879 in fees paid to consultants and other third party professional service providers. These decreases were offset by an overall increase of $6,682 in other general and miscellaneous expenses.

Interest Expense: Interest expense was $139,490 and $134,391 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of $5,099, or 3.8%, was primarily due to a $9,345 increase in interest due on a local tax liability and $2,019 of additional interest incurred for the promissory note issued to Diagonal Lending during the three months ended June 20, 2024. These increases were offset by decreases in interest expense due to declining balances in other notes payable outstanding.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability: The change in the fair value of our derivative liability resulted in a loss of $7,350 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The change in the fair value was attributed to changes in our forecasted stock price. The gain due to the change in fair value of the derivative liability during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $5,038 and was attributed to changes in our stock price.

Gain from Extinguishment of Debt: The gain from extinguishment of debt was $33,060 and $52,223 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease of $19,163, or 36.7% was due to a lower amount of debt forgiven in the current period, as the balances owed to our creditors have declined.

Other Income: Other income was $12,372 and $248 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in other income was primarily due to an adjustment of a liability during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Deemed Dividend for Warrant Exchanges: Expense for deemed dividends was nil and $65,296 in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The expense in the prior period was recognized as the excess fair value of warrant instruments exchanged over the fair value of the original warrants.

Preferred Stock Dividends: Expense related to preferred stock dividends was $87,836 and $82,255 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of $5,581, or 6.8%, was due to changes in the value of the common shares used to settle preferred stock dividends in each period.

Net Loss: Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $1,199,452 and $2,572,726 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The reasons for the decrease in our net loss are outlined above.

There was no income tax benefit recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023, due to recurring net operating losses.

41

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Going Concern Considerations

We have incurred significant losses since our inception. At June 30, 2024, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $4.7 million, accumulated deficit of $152.3 million, and incurred a net loss including preferred dividends of $1.2 million for the six months then ended. Stockholders’ deficit totaled approximately $4.7 million at June 30, 2024, primarily due to recurring net losses from operations.

The Company will need to continue to raise capital in order to provide funding for its operations and FDA approval process. If sufficient capital cannot be raised, the Company will continue its plans of curtailing operations by reducing discretionary spending and staffing levels and attempting to operate by only pursuing activities for which it has external financial support. However, there can be no assurance that such external financial support will be sufficient to maintain even limited operations or that the Company will be able to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all. In such a case, the Company might be required to enter into unfavorable agreements or, if that is not possible, be unable to continue operations, and to the extent practicable, liquidate and/or file for bankruptcy protection.

Liquidity

The Company’s primary liquidity requirements are for working capital, funding clinical studies, and other costs associated with achieving regulatory approval to sell our products. Although income taxes are not currently a significant use of funds, after the benefits of our net operating loss carryforwards are fully recognized, they could become a material use of funds, depending on our future profitability and future tax rates. We anticipate we will require approximately $1.8 million to $2.2 million of funds to operate our business over the next twelve months, including approximately $0.4 million of funds to complete our ongoing clinical studies.

Since our inception, we have raised capital through the public and private sale of debt and equity, funding from collaborative arrangements, and grants. As of June 30, 2024, we had cash of approximately $275 thousand and negative working capital of $4.7 million.

Our major cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 consisted of cash used for operating activities of $314 thousand, proceeds from the issuance of notes payable of $200 thousand and payments of debt and debt issuance costs of $202 thousand.

On July 22, 2024, we issued a $62,100 convertible promissory note to Diagonal Lending. The convertible promissory note, which had an original issue discount of $8,100, will mature on May 30, 2025 and will accrue total interest of $8,694. A payment of $35,397 will be due on January 30, 2025. The remaining balance, including the accrued interest, will be paid in monthly installments of $8,849 beginning February 28, 2024 and ending on the maturity date. The remaining terms of the convertible promissory note are identical to the June 11, 2024 convertible promissory note disclosed within Note 8, “Convertible Debt.”

42

On July 23, 2024, we issued a $50,000 promissory note to an unaffiliated third party (the “Holder”). The promissory note, which will incur total interest of $5,000, will mature on February 1, 2025. Monthly payments of $10,000 are due beginning September 1, 2024 and ending January 1, 2025. The $5,000 interest payment is due on February 1, 2025. With the Holder’s permission, the promissory note may be prepaid in full or in part without penalty or premium. In connection with the promissory note, we issued 60,000 common stock warrants with a strike price of $025. The warrants will expire on July 31, 2028.

Our major cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted of cash used by operating activities of $937 thousand, payments of debt of $213 thousand and proceeds from warrant exercises of $195 thousand.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements, no special purpose entities, and no activities that include non-exchange-traded contracts accounted for at fair value.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) rules and forms. We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer/Acting Chief Financial Officer, Mark Faupel, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer/Acting Chief Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2024, due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses identified arose from a lack of recourses to properly research and account for complex transactions and lack of oversight and approval by the Board of Directors and Audit Committee, including formally documented approval of significant transactions, including related party transactions. While management is currently in the early stages of developing a remediation plan, we have yet to fully remediate this material weakness.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

43

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the disposition of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERRED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

During the six months ended June 30 2024, the Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock and 900,000 warrants to Richard Blumberg, a related party, pursuant to a consulting agreement. The warrants, which will expire on March 1, 2027, have a strike price of $0.30.

In the event that the Company proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Company shall provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount as such term is defined in the Note) signed by the successor transfer agent to Company and the Company.

If the Lender provides the Company and the Company’s transfer, at the cost of the Lender, with an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Lender. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Lender, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Lender shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

PROMISSORY NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GUIDED THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of 1800 DIAGONAL LENDING LLC, a Virginia limited liability company, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of $100,050.00 together with any interest as set forth herein, on April 15, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) as set forth herein. This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

ARTICLE I. GENERAL TERMS

1.1 Interest. A one-time interest charge of fourteen percent (14%) (the “Interest Rate”) shall be applied on the Issuance Date to the Principal ($100,050.00 * fourteen percent (14%) =$14,007.00). Interest hereunder shall be paid as set forth herein to the Holder or its assignee in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of Notes in cash or, in the Event of Default, at the Option of the Holder, converted into share of Common Stock as set forth herein.

1.2 Mandatory Monthly Payments. Accrued, unpaid Interest and outstanding principal, subject to adjustment, shall be paid in five (5) payments as follows ($114,057.00 in total payments):

Payment Date	Payment Amount
December 15, 2024	$	57,028.50
January 15, 2025	$	14,257.13
February 15, 2025	$	14,257.13
March 15, 2025	$	14,257.13
April 15, 2025	$	14,257.13

The Company shall have a five (5) day grace period with respect to each payment. The Company has right to accelerate payments or prepay in full at any time with no prepayment penalty. All payments shall be made by bank wire transfer to the Lender’s wire instructions, attached hereto as Exhibit A. For the avoidance of doubt, a missed payment shall be considered an Event of Default. The Lender will accept partial payments to reduce any balances owed; provided that on or prior to any payment date, the entire payment has been received by the Lender.

1.3 Prepayment Discount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at any time during the period set forth on the table immediately following this paragraph (the “Prepayment Period”) or as otherwise agreed to between the Borrower and the Holder, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not more than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 1.4. Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to Holder, or upon the direction of the Holder as specified by the Holder in a writing to the Borrower (which shall direction to be sent to Borrower by the Holder at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date). If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash equal to the percentage (“Prepayment Percentage”) as set forth in the table immediately following this paragraph opposite the Prepayment Period, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”).

Prepayment Period	Prepayment Percentage
The period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on the date which is ninety (90) days following the Issue Date.		97	%
The period beginning on the date which is ninety-one (91) days following the Issue Date and ending on the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days following the Issue Date.		98	%

ARTICLE II. CERTAIN COVENANTS

1

2.1 Sale of Assets. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder’s written consent, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any significant portion of its assets outside the ordinary course of business. Any consent to the disposition of any assets may be conditioned on a specified use of the proceeds of disposition.

ARTICLE III. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

If any of the following events of default (each, an “Event of Default”) shall occur:

3.1 Failure to Pay Principal and Interest. The Borrower fails to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note, whether at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise and such breach continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice from the Holder.

3.2 Breach of Covenants. The Borrower breaches any material covenant or other material term or condition contained in this Note and any collateral documents including but not limited to the Purchase Agreement and such breach continues for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice thereof to the Borrower from the Holder.

3.3 Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty of the Borrower made herein or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the Purchase Agreement), shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made and the breach of which has (or with the passage of time will have) a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.

3.4 Receiver or Trustee. The Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its property or business, or such a receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed.

3.5 Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings, voluntary or involuntary, for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower.

3.6 Delisting of Common Stock. The Borrower shall fail to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on at least one of the OTC (which specifically includes the quotation platforms maintained by the OTC Markets Group) or an equivalent replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the American Stock Exchange.

3.7 Failure to Comply with the Exchange Act. The Borrower shall fail to comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act; and/or the Borrower shall cease to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

3.8 Liquidation. Any dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of Borrower or any substantial portion of its business.

3.9 Cessation of Operations. Any cessation of operations by Borrower or Borrower admits it is otherwise generally unable to pay its debts as such debts become due, provided,

however, that any disclosure of the Borrower’s ability to continue as a “going concern” shall not be an admission that the Borrower cannot pay its debts as they become due.

2

3.10 Financial Statement Restatement. The restatement of any financial statements filed by the Borrower with the SEC at any time after 180 days after the Issuance Date for any date or period until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result of such restatement would, by comparison to the un-restated financial statement, have constituted a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.

3.11 Replacement of Transfer Agent. In the event that the Borrower proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Borrower fails to provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount) signed by the successor transfer agent to Borrower and the Borrower.

3.12 Cross-Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other related or companion documents, a breach or default by the Borrower of any covenant or other term or condition contained in any of the Other Agreements, after the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods, shall, at the option of the Holder, be considered a default under this Note and the Other Agreements, in which event the Holder shall be entitled (but in no event required) to apply all rights and remedies of the Holder under the terms of this Note and the Other Agreements by reason of a default under said Other Agreement or hereunder. “Other Agreements” means, collectively, all agreements and instruments between, among or by: (1) the Borrower, and, or for the benefit of, (2) the Holder and any affiliate of the Holder, including, without limitation, promissory notes; provided, however, the term “Other Agreements” shall not include the related or companion documents to this Note. Each of the loan transactions will be cross-defaulted with each other loan transaction and with all other existing and future debt of Borrower to the Holder.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to 150% times the sum of (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the date of payment (the “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and/or (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Article IV hereof (the then outstanding principal amount of this Note to the date of payment plus the amounts referred to in clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall collectively be known as the “Default Amount”) and all other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

If the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, to convert the balance owed pursuant to the note including the Default Amount into shares of common stock of the Company as set forth herein.

ARTICLE IV. CONVERSION RIGHTS

4.1 Conversion Right. At any time following an Event of Default, the Holder shall have the right, to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid amount of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The beneficial ownership limitations on conversion as set forth in the section may NOT be waived by the Holder. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B(the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 4.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”); however, if the Notice of Conversion is sent after 6:00pm, New York, New York time the Conversion Date shall be the next business day. The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 4.4 hereof.

The Holder shall be entitled to deduct $1,500.00 from the conversion amount in each Notice of Conversion to cover Holder's deposit fees associated with each Notice of Conversion. Any additional expenses incurred by Holder with respect to the Borrower's transfer agent, for the issuance of the Common Stock into which this Note is convertible into, shall immediately and automatically be added to the balance of the Note at such time as the expenses are incurred by Holder.

3

4.2 Conversion Price. The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall be the greater of the Variable Conversion Price (subject to equitable adjustments by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The Variable Conversion Price shall mean 65% multiplied by the lowest Trading Price for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Days prior to the Conversion Date (representing a discount rate of 35%) (subject to equitable adjustments by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the OTCQB, OTCQX, Pink Sheets electronic quotation system or applicable trading market (the “OTC”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTC is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets”. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTC, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.

4.3 Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period that the Note is outstanding, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved four times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Note in effect from time to time initially 8,795,604 shares) (the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Note. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under this Note.

4.4 Method of Conversion.

(a) Mechanics of Conversion. As set forth in Section 4.1 hereof, at any time following an Event of Default, the balance due pursuant to this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 4.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower (upon payment in full of any amounts owed hereunder).

(b) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion.

4

(c) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 4.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations hereunder, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion.

(d) Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions set forth herein, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system.

(e) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline due to action and/or inaction of the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock (the “Fail to Deliver Fee”); provided; however that the Fail to Deliver Fee shall not be due if the failure is a result of a third party (i.e., transfer agent; and not the result of any failure to pay such transfer agent) despite the best efforts of the Borrower to effect delivery of such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 4.4(e) are justified.

5

4.5 Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless: (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144 or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”); or (iii) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 4.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

Any restrictive legend on certificates representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel from Holder’s counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that (i) a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected; or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act; or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration. In the event that the Company does not reasonably accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration (such as Rule 144), it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to this Note.

4.6 Effect of Certain Events.

(a) Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III). “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Note, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 4.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, ten (10) days prior written notice (but in any event at least five (5) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Note. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

GUIDED THERAPEUTICS, INC.

Warrant Shares: 60,000 Date of Issuance: August 1, 2024

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, BRYAN MAMULA or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after date hereof (the “Date of Issuance”) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on August 1, 2028 (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Guided Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to 60,000 shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

Section 1. Definitions. This Warrant is issued by the Company as of the date hereof in connection with that certain Promissory Note dated July 23, 2024, by and among the Company and the Holder (the “Agreement”).

Section 2. Exercise.

1

a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). The Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank. No ink- original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.25 (the “Exercise Price”).

c) [RESERVED]

d) Mechanics of Exercise.

i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall deliver to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise. Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price is received.

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

2

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

iv. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

v. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

vi. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

3

d) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(d) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61^st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

4

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.

5

c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

d) Notice to Holder.

i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

6

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

7

b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Initial Exercise Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.

e) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.

b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

8

c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

d) Authorized Shares.

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will

(i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

9

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

h) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

10

k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Lender shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

PROMISSORY NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GUIDED THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of 1800 DIAGONAL LENDING LLC, a Virginia limited liability company, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of $62,100.00 together with any interest as set forth herein, on May 30, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) as set forth herein. This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

ARTICLE I. GENERAL TERMS

1.1 Interest. A one-time interest charge of fourteen percent (14%) (the “Interest Rate”) shall be applied on the Issuance Date to the Principal ($62,100.00 * fourteen percent (14%) = $8,694.00). Interest hereunder shall be paid as set forth herein to the Holder or its assignee in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of Notes in cash or, in the Event of Default, at the Option of the Holder, converted into share of Common Stock as set forth herein.

1.2 Mandatory Monthly Payments. Accrued, unpaid Interest and outstanding principal, subject to adjustment, shall be paid in five (5) payments as follows ($70,794.00 in total payments):

Payment Date	Payment Amount
January 30, 2025	$	35,397.00

April 30, 2025	$	8,849.25
May 30, 2025	$	8,849.25

The Company shall have a five (5) day grace period with respect to each payment. The Company has right to accelerate payments or prepay in full at any time with no prepayment penalty. All payments shall be made by bank wire transfer to the Lender’s wire instructions, attached hereto as Exhibit A. For the avoidance of doubt, a missed payment shall be considered an Event of Default. The Lender will accept partial payments to reduce any balances owed; provided that on or prior to any payment date, the entire payment has been received by the Lender.

ARTICLE II. CERTAIN COVENANTS

2.1 Sale of Assets. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder’s written consent, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any significant portion of its assets outside the ordinary course of business. Any consent to the disposition of any assets may be conditioned on a specified use of the proceeds of disposition.

ARTICLE III. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

If any of the following events of default (each, an “Event of Default”) shall occur:

3.1 Failure to Pay Principal and Interest. The Borrower fails to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note, whether at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise and such breach continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice from the Holder.

3.2 Breach of Covenants. The Borrower breaches any material covenant or other material term or condition contained in this Note and any collateral documents including but not limited to the Purchase Agreement and such breach continues for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice thereof to the Borrower from the Holder.

3.3 Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty of the Borrower made herein or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the Purchase Agreement), shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made and the breach of which has (or with the passage of time will have) a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.

3.4 Receiver or Trustee. The Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its property or business, or such a receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed.

2

3.5 Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings, voluntary or involuntary, for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower.

3.6 Delisting of Common Stock. The Borrower shall fail to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on at least one of the OTC (which specifically includes the quotation platforms maintained by the OTC Markets Group) or an equivalent replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the American Stock Exchange.

3.7 Failure to Comply with the Exchange Act. The Borrower shall fail to comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act; and/or the Borrower shall cease to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

3.8 Liquidation. Any dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of Borrower or any substantial portion of its business.

3.9 Cessation of Operations. Any cessation of operations by Borrower or Borrower admits it is otherwise generally unable to pay its debts as such debts become due, provided, however, that any disclosure of the Borrower’s ability to continue as a “going concern” shall not be an admission that the Borrower cannot pay its debts as they become due.

3.10 Financial Statement Restatement. The restatement of any financial statements filed by the Borrower with the SEC at any time after 180 days after the Issuance Date for any date or period until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result of such restatement would, by comparison to the un-restated financial statement, have constituted a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.

3.11 Replacement of Transfer Agent. In the event that the Borrower proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Borrower fails to provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount) signed by the successor transfer agent to Borrower and the Borrower.

3.12 Cross-Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other related or companion documents, a breach or default by the Borrower of any covenant or other term or condition contained in any of the Other Agreements, after the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods, shall, at the option of the Holder, be considered a default under this Note and the Other Agreements, in which event the Holder shall be entitled (but in no event required) to apply all rights and remedies of the Holder under the terms of this Note and the Other Agreements by reason of a default under said Other Agreement or hereunder. “Other Agreements” means, collectively, all agreements and instruments between, among or by: (1) the Borrower, and, or for the benefit of, (2) the Holder and any affiliate of the Holder, including, without limitation, promissory notes; provided, however, the term “Other Agreements” shall not include the related or companion documents to this Note. Each of the loan transactions will be cross-defaulted with each other loan transaction and with all other existing and future debt of Borrower to the Holder.

3

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to 150% times the sum of (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the date of payment (the “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and/or (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Article IV hereof (the then outstanding principal amount of this Note to the date of payment plus the amounts referred to in clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall collectively be known as the “Default Amount”) and all other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

If the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, to convert the balance owed pursuant to the note including the Default Amount into shares of common stock of the Company as set forth herein.

ARTICLE IV. CONVERSION RIGHTS

4.1 Conversion Right. At any time following an Event of Default, the Holder shall have the right, to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid amount of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The beneficial ownership limitations on conversion as set forth in the section may NOT be waived by the Holder. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B(the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 4.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”); however, if the Notice of Conversion is sent after 6:00pm, New York, New York time the Conversion Date shall be the next business day. The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 4.4 hereof.

4

The Holder shall be entitled to deduct $1,500.00 from the conversion amount in each Notice of Conversion to cover Holder's deposit fees associated with each Notice of Conversion. Any additional expenses incurred by Holder with respect to the Borrower's transfer agent, for the issuance of the Common Stock into which this Note is convertible into, shall immediately and automatically be added to the balance of the Note at such time as the expenses are incurred by Holder.

4.2 Conversion Price. The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall be the greater of the Variable Conversion Price (subject to equitable adjustments by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The Variable Conversion Price shall mean 65% multiplied by the lowest Trading Price for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Days prior to the Conversion Date (representing a discount rate of 35%) (subject to equitable adjustments by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the OTCQB, OTCQX, Pink Sheets electronic quotation system or applicable trading market (the “OTC”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTC is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets”. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTC, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.

4.3 Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period that the Note is outstanding, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved four times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Note in effect from time to time initially 4,495,927 shares) (the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Note. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under this Note.

4.4 Method of Conversion.

(a) Mechanics of Conversion. As set forth in Section 4.1 hereof, at any time following an Event of Default, the balance due pursuant to this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 4.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower (upon payment in full of any amounts owed hereunder).

(b) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion.

(c) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 4.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations hereunder, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion.

(d) Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions set forth herein, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) system.

5

(e) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline due to action and/or inaction of the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder

$2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock (the “Fail to Deliver Fee”); provided; however that the Fail to Deliver Fee shall not be due if the failure is a result of a third party (i.e., transfer agent; and not the result of any failure to pay such transfer agent) despite the best efforts of the Borrower to effect delivery of such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 4.4(e) are justified.

4.5 Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless: (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144 or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”); or (iii) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 4.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

Any restrictive legend on certificates representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel from Holder’s counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that (i) a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected; or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act; or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration. In the event that the Company does not reasonably accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration (such as Rule 144), it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to this Note.

6

4.6 Effect of Certain Events.

(a) Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III). “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Note, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 4.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, ten (10) days prior written notice (but in any event at least five (5) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Note. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

(c) Adjustment Due to Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

ARTICLE V. MISCELLANEOUS

5.1 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges. All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

ORGANIZATION BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ORGANIZATION BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1. ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly SpectRx, Inc.), together with its wholly owned subsidiary, InterScan, Inc. (formerly Guided Therapeutics, Inc.), collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, is a medical technology company focused on developing innovative medical devices that have the potential to improve healthcare. The Company’s primary focus is the continued commercialization of its LuViva non-invasive cervical cancer detection device and extension of its cancer detection technology into other cancers, including esophageal. The Company’s technology, including products in research and development, primarily relates to biophotonics technology for the non-invasive detection of cancers.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The December 31, 2023 balances reported herein are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 have been included.

The Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by entrants into the medical device industry. This industry is characterized by an increasing number of participants, intense competition and a high failure rate. The Company has experienced net losses since its inception and, as of June 30, 2024, it had an accumulated deficit of approximately $152.1 million. To date, the Company has engaged primarily in research and development efforts and the early stages of marketing its products. The Company may not be successful in growing sales for its products. Moreover, required regulatory clearances or approvals may not be obtained in a timely manner, or at all. The Company’s products may not ever gain market acceptance and the Company may not ever generate significant revenues or achieve profitability. The development and commercialization of the Company’s products requires substantial development, regulatory, sales and marketing, manufacturing and other expenditures. The Company expects operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future as it continues to expend substantial resources to complete development of its products, obtain regulatory clearances or approvals, build its marketing, sales, manufacturing and finance capabilities, and conduct further research and development.

The Company is not organized by multiple operating segments for the purpose of making operating decisions or assessing performance. Accordingly, the Company operates in one reportable operating segment. The Company’s principal decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer. Management believes that its business operates as one reportable segment because: a) the Company measures profit and loss as a whole; b) the principal decision makers do not review information based on any operating segment; c) the Company does not maintain discrete financial information on any specific segment; d) the Company has not chosen to organize its business around different products and services, and e) the Company has not chosen to organize its business around geographic areas.

Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming it will continue as a going concern. The factors below raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.

At June 30, 2024, the Company had a negative working capital of approximately $4.7 million, accumulated deficit of $152.3 million, and incurred a net loss including preferred dividends of $1.2 million for the six months then ended. Stockholders’ deficit totaled approximately $4.7 million at June 30, 2024, primarily due to recurring net losses from operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received $0.4 million of proceeds from warrant exercises. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received $0.2 million of proceeds from the issuance of promissory notes payable. The Company will need to continue to raise capital in order to provide funding for its operations and FDA/NMPA approval process. If sufficient capital cannot be raised, the Company will continue its plans of curtailing operations by reducing discretionary spending and staffing levels and attempting to operate by only pursuing activities for which it has external financial support. However, there can be no assurance that such external financial support will be sufficient to maintain even limited operations or that the Company will be able to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all. In such a case, the Company might be required to enter into unfavorable agreements or, if that is not possible, be unable to continue operations, and to the extent practicable, liquidate and/or file for bankruptcy protection.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect net loss, revenues or stockholders’ equity.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas where estimates are used include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, valuation of share-based compensation and the valuation of the convertible note payable derivative liability. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial statements.

Accounting Standard Updates

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under consideration by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, management has not yet determined the effect, if any that the implementation of such proposed standards would have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be a cash equivalent.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company maintains a cash balance in a financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain federal limitations. At times, the Company’s cash balance exceeds these federal limitations. The amount in excess of insured limitations was nil and $156,112 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recorded net of allowances for chargebacks, cash discounts for prompt payment and credit losses. The Company estimates an allowance for expected credit losses by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. The corresponding expense for the credit loss allowance is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses. The credit loss allowance was immaterial as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Inventory Valuation

All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined substantially on a “first-in, first-out” basis.  Selling, general, and administrative expenses are not inventoried, but are charged to expense when incurred. Inventories consisted of the following as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

	(in thousands)
	June 30,			December 31,
	2024			2023
Raw materials	$	1,360		$	1,360
Work-in-progress		46			46
Finished goods		44			44
Inventory reserve		(818	)		(818	)
Total inventory	$	632		$	632

The company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Depreciation and amortization expense are included in general and administrative expense on the statements of operations. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment consisted of the following as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

	(in thousands)
	June 30,			December 31,
	2024			2023
Equipment	$	951		$	951
Software		634			634
Furniture and fixtures		17			17
Leasehold improvements		12			12
Subtotal		1,614			1,614
Less accumulated depreciation		(1,586	)		(1,582	)
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements, net
	$	28		$	32

Depreciation expense related to property and equipment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was not material.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the associated debt. Debt issuance costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability consistent with the debt discount.

Patent Costs (Principally Legal Fees)

Costs incurred in filing, prosecuting, and maintaining patents are recurring, and expensed as incurred. Maintaining patents are expensed as incurred as the Company has not yet received U.S. FDA approval and recovery of these costs is uncertain. Such costs were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Leases

A lease provides the lessee the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

Where an operating lease contains extension options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, the extension period is included in the calculation of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

The discount rate used to determine the commencement date present value of lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease, or when that is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its secured borrowing rate. Right-of-use assets include any lease payments required to be made prior to commencement and exclude lease incentives. Both right-of-use assets and lease liabilities exclude variable payments not based on an index or rate, which are treated as period costs. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain significant residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants. See Note 6 – “Commitments and Contingencies.”

Accrued Liabilities

Accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are summarized as follows:

	(in thousands)
	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Compensation	$	356	$	401
Professional fees		95		216
Interest		143		188
Vacation		29		27
Preferred dividends		210		228
Other accrued expenses		7		8
Total	$	840	$	1,068

Stock Subscription Payable

Cash received from investors for shares of common stock that have not yet been issued is recorded as a liability, which is presented within Accrued Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Revenue Recognition

ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, establishes a single and comprehensive framework which sets out how much revenue is to be recognized, and when. The core principle is that a vendor should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the vendor expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue will now be recognized by a vendor when control over the goods or services is transferred to the customer. The application of the core principle in ASC 606 is carried out in five steps:

· Step 1 – Identify the contract with a customer: a contract is defined as an agreement (including oral and implied), between two or more parties, that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for each of those rights and obligations. The contract needs to have commercial substance and it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled.

· Step 2 – Identify the performance obligations in the contract: a performance obligation in a contract is a promise (including implicit) to transfer a good or service to the customer. Each performance obligation should be capable of being distinct and is separately identifiable in the contract.

· Step 3 – Determine the transaction price: transaction price is the amount of consideration that the entity can be entitled to, in exchange for transferring the promised goods and services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

· Step 4 – Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: for a contract that has more than one performance obligation, the entity will allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation separately, in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. The acceptable methods of allocating the transaction price include adjusted market assessment approach, expected cost plus a margin approach, and the residual approach in limited circumstances. Discounts given should be allocated proportionately to all performance obligations unless certain criteria are met and reallocation of changes in standalone selling prices after inception is not permitted.

· Step 5 – Recognize revenue as and when the entity satisfies a performance obligation: the entity should recognize revenue at a point in time, except if it meets any of the three criteria, which will require recognition of revenue over time: the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the entity’s performance as the entity performs, and the entity does not create an asset that has an alternative use to the entity and the entity has the right to be paid for performance to date.

The Company’s revenues do not require significant estimates or judgments and are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, which occurs at a point in time, most frequently upon shipment of the product or receipt of the product, depending on shipment terms. Revenue is measured as the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company does not offer returns, discounts, loyalty programs or other sales incentive programs that are material to revenue recognition. The Company is not party to contracts that include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration.

Contract Balances

The Company defers payments received as revenue until earned based on the related contracts and applying ASC 606 as required. Deferred revenue totaled $747,780, $424,225, and $509,101 as of June 30, 2024, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Significant Customers

As of June 30, 2024, trade receivables of $2,047 (net of the allowance for credit losses of $450) were attributed to one customer. As of December 31, 2023, accounts receivable of $7,442 (net of the allowance for credit losses of $1,500) were attributed to two customers.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist of expenditures for research conducted by the Company and payments made under contracts with consultants or other outside parties and costs associated with internal and contracted clinical trials. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expense are expected to be settled in our income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company has filed for an extension for its 2023 federal and state corporate tax returns. Although the Company has been experiencing recurring losses, it is obligated to file tax returns for compliance with IRS regulations and that of applicable state jurisdictions. At June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $66.4 million of net operating losses carryforward available, $3.8 million of which will expire on December 31, 2024. The remaining net operating loss will be eligible to be carried forward for tax purposes at federal and applicable states level. A full valuation allowance has been recorded related the deferred tax assets generated from the net operating losses.

The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions based on a benefit recognition model. Provided that the tax position is deemed more likely than not of being sustained, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50.0% likely of being ultimately realized upon settlement. The tax position is derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not of being sustained. The Company classifies income tax related interest and penalties as interest expense and selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations.

Warrants

The Company has issued warrants, which allow the warrant holder to purchase one share of stock at a specified price for a specified period of time. The Company records equity instruments including warrants based on the fair value at the date of issue. The fair value of warrants classified as equity instruments at the date of issuance is estimated using the Black-Scholes or binomial option pricing models.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based awards in accordance with ASC Subtopic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires fair value measurement on the grant date and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors. The Company determines the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes model. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based upon the quoted market price of the shares of common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of stock-based awards is expensed over the requisite service periods of the awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of certain assumptions that require the Company’s judgment, including the expected term and the expected stock price volatility of the underlying stock. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change resulting in the use of different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $29,673 of expense related to stock options and $30,932 of expense for warrants issued to a director. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $206,306 of expense related to stock options, $116,000 of expense for stock issued to a director and $1,361,143 of expense for warrants issued to consultants and executives. 

Derivatives

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt issued to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

· Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company can access at the measurement date.

· Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

· Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s judgment about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

An asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques noted in ASC 820:

· Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

· Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

· Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount

The Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, however the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a $0.001 par value. The board of directors has the authority to issue these shares and to set dividends, voting and conversion rights, redemption provisions, liquidation preferences, and other rights and restrictions.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

The board designated 9,000 shares of preferred stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). Pursuant to the Series C certificate of designations, shares of Series C Preferred Stock are convertible into common stock by their holder at any time and may be mandatorily convertible upon the achievement of specified average trading prices for the Company’s common stock. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 286 shares outstanding with a conversion price of $0.50 per share, such that each share of Series C Preferred Stock would convert into approximately 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; for a total of 572,000 shares, subject to customary adjustments, including for any accrued but unpaid dividends and pursuant to certain anti-dilution provisions, as set forth in the Series C certificate of designations. The conversion price will automatically adjust downward to 80% of the then-current market price of the Company’s common stock 15 trading days after any reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, and 5 trading days after any conversions of the Company’s outstanding convertible debt.

Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to quarterly cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 12.0% until 42 months after the original issuance date (the “Dividend End Date”), payable in cash or, subject to certain conditions, the Company’s common stock. Unpaid accrued dividends were $120,120 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock prior to the Dividend End Date, the Company will also pay to the converting holder a “make-whole payment” equal to the number of unpaid dividends through the Dividend End Date on the converted shares. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the “make-whole payment” for a converted share of Series C Preferred Stock would convert to 200 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Series C Preferred Stock generally has no voting rights except as required by Delaware law. Upon the Company’s liquidation or sale to or merger with another corporation, each share will be entitled to a liquidation preference of $1,000, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.

Series C1 Convertible Preferred Stock

The board designated 20,250 shares of preferred stock as Series C1 Preferred Stock, of which 1,049.25 shares were issued and outstanding at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

STOCK OPTIONS

4.   STOCK OPTIONS

The Company’s Stock Plan (the “Plan”) allows for the issuance of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, and stock purchase rights. The exercise price of options was determined by the Company’s board of directors, but incentive stock options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date. Options historically granted have generally become exercisable over four years and expire ten years from the date of grant. The aggregate number of common shares that may be issued or reserved pursuant to stock option or other awards under the plan may not exceed 2,500,000 common shares.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized expense for stock options of $29,673 and $206,306, respectively. There was no stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

On February 10, 2023, the Company granted 925,000 stock options to employees, executives and directors of the Company. The stock options, which have exercise prices of $0.2629, will expire on February 9, 2033. One fourth of the stock options vested immediately, while the remaining options will vest over a period of 33 months, beginning on May 10, 2023.

On March 7, 2023, the Company granted 100,000 stock options, which have exercise prices of $0.27 and will expire on March 6, 2033, to Alan Grujic, upon appointing him to the Board of Directors. One fourth of the stock options vested immediately, while the remaining options will vest over a period of 33 months, beginning on June 7, 2023.

The following tables summarize the Company’s stock option activity and related information for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

	Number of Shares		Weighted-Average Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life	Aggregate Intrinsic Value of In-the-Money Options  (in thousands)

Options exercisable as of June 30, 2023		1,755,114		$	0.45	6.2 years	$	-

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the Company’s closing stock price as of June 30, 2024 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of options. As of June 30, 2024, there was $94,578 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense. Such costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.75 years. The weighted-average fair value of awards granted was nil and $0.26 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock option awards on a straight-line basis over the applicable service period of the award. The service period is generally the vesting period. The Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following weighted-average assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023:

Expected term (years)	10.0
Volatility	366.4	%
Risk-free interest rate	3.8	%
Dividend yield	0.00

On March 3, 2023, Dr. Gene Cartwright retired from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and as a member of the Board. Upon his departure, Mr. Cartwright forfeited 186,364 unvested stock options. On May 2, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an extension of the expiration date of Mr. Cartwright’s vested options to June 1, 2025. Management measured the modified stock option award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recorded expense of $59,216 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, representing the excess fair value of the modified award over the original award. Management estimated the fair value of the modified award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions:

Expected term (years)	2.0
Volatility	182.8	%
Risk-free interest rate	4.0	%
Dividend yield	0.0	%

Related Party Contracts

On June 5, 2016, the Company entered into a license agreement with Shenghuo Medical, LLC pursuant to which the Company granted Shenghuo an exclusive license to manufacture, sell and distribute LuViva in Taiwan, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Shenghuo was already the Company’s exclusive distributor in China, Macau and Hong Kong, and the license extended to manufacturing in those countries as well. Under the terms of the license agreement, once Shenghuo was capable of manufacturing LuViva in accordance with ISO 13485 for medical devices, Shenghuo would pay the Company a royalty equal to $2.00 or 20% of the distributor price (subject to a discount under certain circumstances), whichever is higher, per disposable distributed within Shenghuo’s exclusive territories. In connection with the license grant, Shenghuo was to underwrite the cost of securing approval of LuViva with Chinese Food and Drug Administration. At its option, Shenghuo also would provide up to $1.0 million in furtherance of the Company’s efforts to secure regulatory approval for LuViva from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, in exchange for the right to receive payments equal to 2% of the Company’s future sales in the United States, up to an aggregate of $4.0 million. Pursuant to the license agreement, Shenghuo had the option to have a designee appointed to the Company’s board of directors (current director Richard Blumberg is the designee).

On September 6, 2016, the Company entered into a royalty agreement with one of its directors, John Imhoff, and another stockholder, Dolores Maloof, pursuant to which the Company sold to them a royalty of future sales of single-use cervical guides for LuViva. Under the terms of the royalty agreement, and for consideration of $50,000, the Company will pay them an aggregate perpetual royalty initially equal to $0.10, and from and after October 2, 2016, equal to $0.20, for each cervical guide that the Company sells (or that is sold by a third party pursuant to a licensing arrangement with the Company).

On January 22, 2020, the Company entered into a promotional agreement with a related party, which is partially owned by Mr. Blumberg, to provide investor and public relations services for a period of two years. As compensation for these services, the Company agreed to issue a total of 5,000,000 warrants, broken into four tranches of 1,250,000. The warrants have a strike price of $0.25 and are subject to vesting based upon the close of the Series D offering and a minimum share price based on the 30-day VWAP. If the minimum share price per the terms of the agreement is not achieved, the warrants will expire three years after the scheduled issuance date. The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes model on the grant date of January 22, 2020. As of June 30, 2024, unrecognized consulting expense associated with the agreement was nil and 2,500,000 of the warrants had been issued, of which 1,750,000 were issued to Mr. Blumberg and 750,000 were issued to non-related parties.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Blumberg to exchange 875,000 of the outstanding warrants for 831,250 warrants with a strike price of $0.20, which were exercised during the first quarter of 2023.

On March 10, 2021, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Richard Blumberg. As a result of the consulting agreement Mr. Blumberg provided $350,000 to the Company in exchange for the following: (1) 3,600,000 3-year warrants with exercise prices ranging from $0.30 - $0.60, and (2) 1,600,000 common stock shares. On September 30, 2021, the Company and Mr. Blumberg entered into an amended agreement, pursuant to which issuance of the warrants and common shares became predicated on the Company obtaining financing or a series of financings resulting in minimum receipts of at least $1.0 million. Upon receipt of the funds, the Company agreed to issue the common shares and warrants owed to Mr. Blumberg in four equal tranches, to be issued every six months, beginning six months after the financing transaction. On November 11, 2022, the Company and Mr. Blumberg entered into an amended agreement, upon which the exercise prices of the warrants were changed to $0.30. The Company estimated the fair value of the modified warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions:

Expected term (years)	3.0
Volatility	108.7	%
Risk-free interest rate	4.3	%
Dividend yield	0.0	%

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company issued 900,000 warrants to Mr. Blumberg, pursuant to the agreement, and recognized expense of nil and $590,840, respectively. Total unrecognized expense for the warrants was nil as of June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $7,425 and $111,833 of expense for the shares of common stock due to Mr. Blumberg, respectively. As 400,000 shares had not been issued as of June 30, 2024, the Company estimated the total amount of expense for the future issuances using the closing price of the Company’s stock as of June 30, 2024.

On August 24, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with Ironstone Capital Corp. and Alan Grujic (the “Advisory Group”) whereby the Advisory Group agreed to perform marketing and investor relations services over a term of twelve months, commencing on the closing of a financing of at least $2.5 million. In consideration for these services, the Company issued 800,000 warrants (“first tranche of warrants”) with an exercise price of $0.50 to Mr. Grujic, which were due within 10 business days of closing the financing transaction (the “Transaction”) that took place in September 2022. In the event the Company’s 20 trading day variable weighted average price (“VWAP”) exceeds $1.00 within one year of the closing of the financing, the Company would have issued 600,000 warrants (“second tranche of warrants”) with an exercise price of $0.75 to Mr. Grujic. In the event the Company’s 20 trading day VWAP exceeds $1.50 within two years of the closing of the financing, the Company will issue an additional 600,000 warrants (“third tranche of warrants”) to Mr. Grujic. Once issued, the warrants vest immediately and will expire two years from the date of issuance. If the Company’s U.S. clinical study is not completed and filed with the U.S. FDA or if the Chinese NMPA (formerly Chinese FDA) approval is not granted by each due date for reaching each respective pricing milestone, then the due date for reaching each milestone shall be extended by six months. As of June 30, 2024, the deadline to achieve the stock price of $1.50 has passed and the second tranche warrants will therefore not be issued.

Pursuant to the agreement, the Company also agreed to pay the Advisory Group $2,000 per month for 12 months, starting the month after the closing of the Transaction. Subsequently, the agreement was amended to extend the term of the agreement to September of 2024.

The Company estimated the fair value of the first tranche warrants issued in September 2022 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Expected term (years)	2.0
Volatility	173.0	%
Risk-free interest rate	3.4	%
Dividend yield	0.0	%

Expense related to the first tranche of warrants was recognized in prior years. Unrecognized expense related to the first tranche warrants was nil as of June 30, 2024.

The Company estimated the fair value of the second tranche warrants using the Binomial Lattice model with the following assumptions:   

Expected term (years)	1.0
Volatility	144.4	%
Risk-free interest rate	3.6	%
Dividend yield	0.0	%

The Company recognized expense for the second tranche of warrants of nil and $29,706 during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recognized expense for the second tranche of warrants of nil and $59,412 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Unrecognized expense for the third tranche of warrants was nil as of June 30, 2024.

The Company estimated the fair value of the third tranche warrants using the Binomial Lattice model with the following assumptions:  

Expected term (years)	2.0
Volatility	172.1	%
Risk-free interest rate	3.6	%
Dividend yield	0.0	%

The Company recognized expense for the third tranche of warrants of $15,466 during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company recognized expense for the third tranche of warrants of $30,932 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Unrecognized expense for the third tranche of warrants was $10,311 as of June 30, 2024.

Other Commitments

On July 24, 2019, the Company agreed to grant Shandong Yaohua Medical Instrument Corporation (“SMI”) (1) exclusive manufacturing rights, excepting the disposable cervical guides for the Republic of Turkey, and the final assembly rights for Hungary, and (2) exclusive distribution and sales for LuViva in jurisdictions, subject to the terms and conditions described below.

First, SMI shall complete the payment for parts, per the purchase order, for five additional LuViva devices. Second, in consideration for the $885,144 that the Company received, SMI will receive 12,147 shares of common stock. Third, SMI shall honor all existing purchase orders it has executed to date with the Company, in order to maintain jurisdiction sales and distribution rights. If SMI needs to purchase cervical guides, then it will do so at a cost including labor, plus ten percent markup. The Company will provide 200 cervical guides at no cost for the clinical trials. Fourth, the Company and SMI will make best efforts to sell devices after CFDA approval. With an initial estimate of year one sales of 200 LuViva devices; year two sales of 500 LuViva devices; year three sales of 1,000 LuViva devices; and year four sales of 1,250 LuViva devices. Fifth, SMI shall pay for entire costs of securing approval of LuViva with the Chinese FDA. Sixth, SMI shall arrange, at its sole cost, for a manufacturer in China to build tooling to support manufacturing. In addition, SMI retains the right to manufacture for China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, where SMI has distribution and sales rights. For each single-use cervical guide sold by SMI in the jurisdictions, SMI shall transfer funds to escrow agent at a rate of $1.90 per device chip. If within 18 months of the license’s effective date, SMI fails to achieve commercialization of LuViva in China, SMI shall no longer have any rights to manufacture, distribute or sell LuViva. Commercialization is defined as: filing an application with the Chinese FDA for the approval of LuViva; any assembly or manufacture of the devices or disposables that begins in China; and purchase of at least 10 devices and disposables for clinical evaluations and regulatory use and or sales in the jurisdictions.

On August 12, 2021, the Company executed an amendment to its agreement with SMI. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the parties agreed that if by October 30, 2022, SMI fails to achieve commercialization of LuViva in China, SMI shall no longer have any rights to manufacture, distribute or sell LuViva. On March 3, 2023, the Company entered into a third amendment with SMI pursuant to which the Company extended the deadline for SMI to achieve commercialization of LuViva in China to April 30, 2024.

On February 17, 2024, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the agreement with SMI. Under the terms of the amended agreement, SMI agreed to pay the Company $531,100 on or prior to March 15, 2024. On March 18, 2024, SMI, through SMI’s authorized distribution partner, initiated a wire payment of $330,000 in partial satisfaction of $531,100 owed to the Company. The payment was received by the Company on March 20, 2024. As the full payment was not received by March 15, 2024, the Company had the right to terminate the agreement with two weeks’ notice to SMI, however the Company did not exercise this option. 

The amended agreement also provides for a timeline for the Company to deliver inventory during 2024, including LuViva devices and components, as well as approximately 1,640,000 RFID chips. In consideration, SMI agreed to pay a total of $4.4 million during 2024, including the payment due on March 15, 2024.

On March 27, 2024, the parties entered into a Standstill Agreement (the “Standstill Agreement”). The parties agreed that SMI will make a nonrefundable payment of $100,000 to the Company prior to March 31, 2024. In exchange, the Company will not initiate any legal proceedings, including but not limited to filing a lawsuit, obtaining a judgement, or enforcing any security interest, as related to the March shortfall in payments of $201,100, until April 30, 2024. Upon paying $100,000, SMI will have the option to extend the Standstill Agreement until June 15, 2024 by making a nonrefundable payment to the Company of $150,000. One additional payment of $150,000 may be made to extend the standstill rights until July 30, 2024, if mutually agreed upon. If SMI is unable to make the payments pursuant to the Standstill Agreement, the Company agreed to seek loans on behalf of SMI to cover the payments. SMI agreed to reimburse the Company for these loans along with all expenses associated with them within three months of the loans being issued as long as the loans are used solely for (1) parts for LuViva devices to be used by SMI for marketing and promotional activities, or (2) labor or consulting fees connected to providing parts, assemblies of devices or disposables to SMI. Additionally, SMI confirmed its commitment to make payments to GTI of at least $4.0 million during 2024 and as part of this commitment will make payments of $200,000 and $500,000 by the end of May 2024 and July 2024, respectively, to ensure that the program commercialization proceeds according to schedule.  

On April 26, 2024, the parties extended the Standstill Agreement (“Standstill Extension”) until July 30, 2024, contingent on payments from SMI totaling $770,000 on or before July 30, 2024. In addition, because SMI did not make its scheduled payment of $100,000 on or before March 31, 2024, the Company can place a 25% surcharge on the cost of goods and services already paid for by SMI. Additionally, the Standstill Extension reduced the number of RFID chips the Company committed to shipping by 240,000 and reduced the total amount due from SMI in 2024 by $247,545. The other terms from the Amendment and Standstill Agreement remained intact.

The Company and SMI executed an extension to the Standstill Agreement (the “Second Standstill Extension”) subsequent to June 30, 2024. Please see Note 12, “Subsequent Events” for details.

10% Senior Unsecured Convertible Debenture

On May 17, 2021, the Company issued 10% Senior Unsecured convertible debentures to investors, which matured on May 17, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company subscribed $1,130,000 of the $1,000 convertible debentures. The terms of the debentures are as follows: 1) the principal amount of some or all of the convertible debentures and accrued interest are convertible into shares of common stock at the holder’s option, at a price of $0.50 per common stock share (the “conversion price”), subject to adjustment in certain events, at any time prior to maturity date; 2) upon successful uplist to a U.S. National Exchange, the note will automatically convert into the uplisting financing; 3) each debenture unit included 1,000 common stock warrants with an exercise price of $0.80 and an expiration date of May 17, 2023; 4) if a Change of Control (as defined in the Convertible Debenture Certificate) occurs prior to the Maturity Date, unless the holder elects in writing to convert the Convertible Debentures into shares of common stock, the Company will repay in cash upon the closing of such Change of Control all outstanding principal and accrued interest under each Convertible Debenture plus a Change of Control premium equal to an additional 3% of the outstanding principal sum under such Convertible Debenture. Prior to the closing of an Change of Control, in lieu of repayment as set forth in the preceding sentence, the holder has the right to elect in writing to convert, effective immediately prior to the effective date of such Change of Control, all outstanding principal and accrued Interest under the Convertible Debentures into shares of common stock at the Conversion Price; 5) Subject to a holder’s option of electing conversion prior to the Redemption Date (as such term is defined below), on or after the date that is 24 months from the Closing Date if the daily volume weighted average trading price of the shares of common stock is $1.50 per share of common stock or more for each trading day over a 30 consecutive trading day period, the Company may, at any time (the “Redemption Date”), at its option, redeem all, or any portion of the Convertible Debentures for either: (i) a cash payment (in the form of a certified cheque or bank draft) that is equal to all outstanding principal and accrued interest under each Convertible Debenture up to the Redemption Date; or (ii) by issuing and delivering shares of common stock to the holders of Convertible Debentures at a deemed price of $0.50 per share of common stock that is equal to all outstanding principal and accrued interest under each Convertible Debenture up to the Redemption Date, or any combination of (i) or (ii), upon not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior written notice in the manner provided in the Debenture Certificate, to the holder of Convertible Debentures.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance due on the 10% Senior Secured Convertible Debenture was $1,130,000 and total accrued interest was $24,860 and $58,494, respectively. After the May 17, 2024 maturity date, the interest rate increased to the default rate of 18.0%. The bond payable discount and unamortized debt issuance costs as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are presented below (in thousands):

1800 Diagonal Lending Note

On June 11, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement and contingently convertible note with 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC (“Diagonal Lending”). The convertible note issued to Diagonal Lending had a total principal balance of $100,050 and an original issue discount of $13,050. The note, which will accrue total interest of $14,007, will mature on April 15, 2025. A payment of $57,029 is due on the note on December 15, 2024. The remaining balance due, including accrued interest, will be paid in monthly payments of $14,257 from January 15, 2025 through April 15, 2025. The note may be prepaid within 120 days of issuance for a discount of 2.0 -3.0 % of the principal and accrued interest due. Any amount of principal or interest on the note which is not paid when due will bear interest at the rate of the lessor of 22% or the maximum permitted by law. The Company may not sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of any significant portion of its assets outside of the ordinary course of business without the express permission of Diagonal Lending. In the event of default, the note will become immediately due and payable in an amount equal to 150.0% times the sum of the then outstanding principal, accrued interest and default interest.

In an event of default, the unpaid portion of the note and accrued interest is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion rate equal to the variable conversion price. The variable conversion price is equal to the lowest closing price of our common stock during the ten days prior to the conversion date multiplied by 65.0%. The Company assessed this embedded conversion feature and determined that it is not considered clearly and closely related to the host note, and therefore meets the definition of a derivative. Therefore, this embedded conversion feature is required to be bifurcated from the note and accounted for separately as a derivative liability. The Company estimated the fair value of the combined derivative liability as of June 11, 2024, which was recorded as a liability and as a discount net against the subordinated convertible notes. The Company is required to remeasure the combined derivative liability to its then fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date, through an adjustment to current earnings (see Note 11 for further details on the Company’s fair value measurement).

At June 30, 2024, the balance due on the note was $100,000 and total accrued interest was $1,166. The note payable discount, unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized debt discount (including the beneficial conversion feature) as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is presented below (in thousands):

Auctus Convertible Note

On December 17, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement and convertible note with Auctus Fund, LLC (“Auctus’). The convertible note issued to Auctus was for a total of $2.4 million. The note may not have been prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly allowed. Any amount of principal or interest on the note which was not paid when due shall bore interest at the rate of the lessor of 24% or the maximum permitted by law (the “default interest”). The variable conversion prices equaled the lesser of: (i) the lowest trading price on the issue date, and (ii) the variable conversion price. The variable conversion price was 95% multiplied by the market price (the market price means the average of the five lowest trading prices during the period beginning on the issue date and ending on the maturity date), minus $0.04 per share, provided however that in no event could the variable conversion price be less than $0.15. If an event of default under this note occurred and/or the note was not extinguished in its entirety prior to December 17, 2020, the $0.15 price floor no longer applied.

On September 1, 2022, the Company agreed to exchange certain debt and equity owned by Auctus pursuant to an Exchange Agreement between the Company and Auctus (the “Exchange Agreement”). Immediately prior to the Exchange Agreement, Auctus held $1,228,183 of debt, including an early prepayment penalty of $350,000, default premiums of $281,256, and $91,555 in interest payable. Auctus agreed to reduce the amount owed to $710,911 and to revert the May 27, 2020 note to its original term. Additionally, Auctus agreed to exchange 8,775,000 warrants that were priced between $0.15 and $0.20 and the $350,000 prepayment penalty for 3,900,000 shares of common stock, warrants to purchase 3,900,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share and warrants to purchase 3,900,000 shares of common stock at $0.65 per share (the “Exchange”). As a result of the Exchange Agreement, Auctus forgave a default penalty of $225,444. Following the Exchange and Repayment, the Company will make payments to Auctus in four installments, over an 18-month period. During 2024, Auctus agreed to apply the payments to the principal portion of the debt before applying the funds to the accrued interest. As a result, management has reclassified a portion of the current and prior period outstanding debt to the accrued interest as described below.

The total outstanding balance of the convertible note was $15,000 and $25,000 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The balances are included within “Short-term convertible notes payable” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Total accrued interest on the Auctus convertible note was $115,646 and $121,995 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

10.  INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders, amounts are computed by dividing the net income (loss) plus preferred stock dividends and deemed dividends on preferred stock by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders amounts are computed by dividing the net income (loss) plus preferred stock dividends, deemed dividends on preferred stock, after-tax interest on convertible debt and convertible dividends by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, plus Series C, Series C-1, Series C-2, Series D, Series E, Series F and Series F-2 convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, convertible preferred dividends, warrants and stock options convertible into common stock shares.

During a period of net loss, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same as the assumed exercise of warrants and the conversion of convertible debt and preferred stock are anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, all stock options, convertible preferred stock, convertible debt and warrants were anti-dilutive and were therefore excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share. At June 30, 2024 and 2023, these instruments were convertible into 53,674,649 and 54,482,496 common shares, respectively.

The following table sets forth pertinent data relating to the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders (in thousands, except for per-share data):

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

11.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The convertible notes payable derivative liability is considered a Level 3 measurement, due to the significant unobservable inputs in the valuation, which are based on a forecast of the Company’s future stock performance and, as the note payable is contingently convertible upon an event of default, management’s estimate of the likelihood and timing of conversion.

Based on the terms and provisions of the Diagonal Lending note payable, management built a pricing simulation that predicts the Company’s future stock prices using historical volatility. Our model is designed to utilize the Company’s best estimates of the timing and likelihood of a conversion of the note payable to calculate the variable conversion price as of the future conversion date.

The key inputs to the valuation model that was utilized to estimate the fair value of the bifurcated conversion option included:

· The forecasted future stock prices were determined using historical stock prices and the Company’s equity volatility.

· The expected conversion price was determined using the forecast and the contractual term of the convertible note agreement.

· The probability of an event of default and timing of a future conversion are based on management’s best estimate of the future settlement of the convertible note.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas where estimates are used include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, valuation of share-based compensation and the valuation of the convertible note payable derivative liability. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial statements.

Accounting Standard Updates

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under consideration by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, management has not yet determined the effect, if any that the implementation of such proposed standards would have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be a cash equivalent.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company maintains a cash balance in a financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain federal limitations. At times, the Company’s cash balance exceeds these federal limitations. The amount in excess of insured limitations was nil and $156,112 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recorded net of allowances for chargebacks, cash discounts for prompt payment and credit losses. The Company estimates an allowance for expected credit losses by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. The corresponding expense for the credit loss allowance is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses. The credit loss allowance was immaterial as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Inventory Valuation

All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined substantially on a “first-in, first-out” basis.  Selling, general, and administrative expenses are not inventoried, but are charged to expense when incurred. Inventories consisted of the following as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

	(in thousands)
	June 30,			December 31,
	2024			2023
Raw materials	$	1,360		$	1,360
Work-in-progress		46			46
Finished goods		44			44
Inventory reserve		(818	)		(818	)
Total inventory	$	632		$	632

The company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Depreciation and amortization expense are included in general and administrative expense on the statements of operations. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment consisted of the following as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

	(in thousands)
	June 30,			December 31,
	2024			2023
Equipment	$	951		$	951

Property, equipment and leasehold improvements, net
	$	28		$	32

Depreciation expense related to property and equipment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was not material.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the associated debt. Debt issuance costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability consistent with the debt discount.

Patent Costs (Principally Legal Fees)

Costs incurred in filing, prosecuting, and maintaining patents are recurring, and expensed as incurred. Maintaining patents are expensed as incurred as the Company has not yet received U.S. FDA approval and recovery of these costs is uncertain. Such costs were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Leases

A lease provides the lessee the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

Where an operating lease contains extension options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, the extension period is included in the calculation of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

The discount rate used to determine the commencement date present value of lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease, or when that is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its secured borrowing rate. Right-of-use assets include any lease payments required to be made prior to commencement and exclude lease incentives. Both right-of-use assets and lease liabilities exclude variable payments not based on an index or rate, which are treated as period costs. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain significant residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants. See Note 6 – “Commitments and Contingencies.”

Accrued Liabilities

Accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are summarized as follows:

	(in thousands)
	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Compensation	$	356	$	401
Professional fees		95		216

Total	$	840	$	1,068

Stock Subscription Payable

Cash received from investors for shares of common stock that have not yet been issued is recorded as a liability, which is presented within Accrued Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Revenue Recognition

ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, establishes a single and comprehensive framework which sets out how much revenue is to be recognized, and when. The core principle is that a vendor should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the vendor expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue will now be recognized by a vendor when control over the goods or services is transferred to the customer. The application of the core principle in ASC 606 is carried out in five steps:

· Step 1 – Identify the contract with a customer: a contract is defined as an agreement (including oral and implied), between two or more parties, that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for each of those rights and obligations. The contract needs to have commercial substance and it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled.

· Step 2 – Identify the performance obligations in the contract: a performance obligation in a contract is a promise (including implicit) to transfer a good or service to the customer. Each performance obligation should be capable of being distinct and is separately identifiable in the contract.

· Step 3 – Determine the transaction price: transaction price is the amount of consideration that the entity can be entitled to, in exchange for transferring the promised goods and services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

· Step 4 – Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: for a contract that has more than one performance obligation, the entity will allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation separately, in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. The acceptable methods of allocating the transaction price include adjusted market assessment approach, expected cost plus a margin approach, and the residual approach in limited circumstances. Discounts given should be allocated proportionately to all performance obligations unless certain criteria are met and reallocation of changes in standalone selling prices after inception is not permitted.

· Step 5 – Recognize revenue as and when the entity satisfies a performance obligation: the entity should recognize revenue at a point in time, except if it meets any of the three criteria, which will require recognition of revenue over time: the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the entity’s performance as the entity performs, and the entity does not create an asset that has an alternative use to the entity and the entity has the right to be paid for performance to date.

The Company’s revenues do not require significant estimates or judgments and are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, which occurs at a point in time, most frequently upon shipment of the product or receipt of the product, depending on shipment terms. Revenue is measured as the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company does not offer returns, discounts, loyalty programs or other sales incentive programs that are material to revenue recognition. The Company is not party to contracts that include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration.

Contract Balances

The Company defers payments received as revenue until earned based on the related contracts and applying ASC 606 as required. Deferred revenue totaled $747,780, $424,225, and $509,101 as of June 30, 2024, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Significant Customers

As of June 30, 2024, trade receivables of $2,047 (net of the allowance for credit losses of $450) were attributed to one customer. As of December 31, 2023, accounts receivable of $7,442 (net of the allowance for credit losses of $1,500) were attributed to two customers.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist of expenditures for research conducted by the Company and payments made under contracts with consultants or other outside parties and costs associated with internal and contracted clinical trials. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expense are expected to be settled in our income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company has filed for an extension for its 2023 federal and state corporate tax returns. Although the Company has been experiencing recurring losses, it is obligated to file tax returns for compliance with IRS regulations and that of applicable state jurisdictions. At June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $66.4 million of net operating losses carryforward available, $3.8 million of which will expire on December 31, 2024. The remaining net operating loss will be eligible to be carried forward for tax purposes at federal and applicable states level. A full valuation allowance has been recorded related the deferred tax assets generated from the net operating losses.

The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions based on a benefit recognition model. Provided that the tax position is deemed more likely than not of being sustained, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50.0% likely of being ultimately realized upon settlement. The tax position is derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not of being sustained. The Company classifies income tax related interest and penalties as interest expense and selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations.

Warrants

The Company has issued warrants, which allow the warrant holder to purchase one share of stock at a specified price for a specified period of time. The Company records equity instruments including warrants based on the fair value at the date of issue. The fair value of warrants classified as equity instruments at the date of issuance is estimated using the Black-Scholes or binomial option pricing models.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based awards in accordance with ASC Subtopic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires fair value measurement on the grant date and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors. The Company determines the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes model. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based upon the quoted market price of the shares of common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of stock-based awards is expensed over the requisite service periods of the awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of certain assumptions that require the Company’s judgment, including the expected term and the expected stock price volatility of the underlying stock. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change resulting in the use of different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $29,673 of expense related to stock options and $30,932 of expense for warrants issued to a director. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $206,306 of expense related to stock options, $116,000 of expense for stock issued to a director and $1,361,143 of expense for warrants issued to consultants and executives. 

Derivatives

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt issued to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

· Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company can access at the measurement date.

· Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

· Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s judgment about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

An asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques noted in ASC 820:

· Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

· Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

· Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount

The Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, however the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
