NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 (Unaudited) Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS Encision Inc. ( the “Company”) is a medical device company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets patented surgical instruments that provide greater safety to, and saves lives of, patients undergoing minimally-invasive surgery. The Company believes that the patented AEM ® (Active Electrode Monitoring) surgical instrument technology is changing the marketplace for electrosurgical devices and instruments by providing a solution to a patient safety risk in laparoscopic surgery. The Company sales to date have been made principally in the United States. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $ 22,693,269 at September 30, 2024. A significant portion of the Company operating funds has been provided by issuances of common stock and warrants, the exercise of stock options to purchase common stock, loans, and (in some periods) by operating profits. Shareholders’ equity decreased by $ 124,659 since March 31, 2024 because of net loss of $ 148,222 and stock-based compensation of $ 25,011 . Should the Company’s liquidity be diminished in the future because of operating losses, the Company may be required to seek additional capital. The strategic marketing and sales plan is designed to expand the use of the Company products in surgically active hospitals and surgery centers in the United States. Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation . The unaudited condensed interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 filed on July 15, 2024. The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared, in all material respects, in conformity with the standards of accounting measurements and reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to summarize fairly the financial position and results of operations for such periods in accordance with GAAP. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the most recent interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company had a net loss of $ 170,262 and $ 148,222 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. At September 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $ 230,014 current borrowings of $ 78,851 and borrowing capacity up to $ 921,149 , as restricted by eligible accounts receivable, under the line of credit. Working capital was $ 1,142,362 , a decrease of $ 64,890 from March 31, 2024. The Company increased $ 187,505 of cash in the fiscal six months ended September 30, 2024, primarily because of cash generated by operating activities and borrowings. Management is developing plans to ensure that the Company has the working capital necessary to fund operations. The Company increased the pricing on products to mitigate higher material costs. Management concludes that it is probable that cash resources and line of credit will be sufficient to meet cash requirements for twelve months from the issuance of the unaudited condensed financial statements. Therefore, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements . The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 4 Cash and Cash Equivalents . For purposes of reporting cash flows, the company considers all cash and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Fair Value of Financial Instruments . The financial instruments consist of cash, trade receivables, payables and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) loan. The carrying values of cash and trade receivables approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The fair values of the EIDL loan approximates the carrying value based on estimated discounted future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made. Concentration of Credit Risk . Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and accounts receivable. From time to time, the amount of cash on deposit with financial institutions may exceed the $ 250,000 federally insured limit. We believe that cash on deposit that exceeds $ 250,000 with financial institutions is financially sound and the risk of loss is minimal. The Company has no off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains the majority of cash balances with one financial institution in the form of demand deposits. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from transactions with and from entities in the healthcare industry primarily located in the United States. Accordingly, the Company may be exposed to credit risk generally associated with the healthcare industry. The accounts receivable balance at September 30, 2024 of $ 817,002 and at March 31, 2024 of $ 891,129 included no more than 8% from any one customer. Inventories . Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. The Company reduces inventory for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. At September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 inventory consisted of the following: Schedule of inventory September 30, 2024 March 31, 2024 Raw materials $ 857,366 $ 1,044,161 Finished goods 307,300 358,177 Total inventories $ 1,164,666 $ 1,402,338 Property and Equipment . Property and equipment are stated at cost, with depreciation computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally five to seven years. Depreciation expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $ 16,295 and $ 30,438 , respectively and $ 15,464 and $ 31,240 , respectively. The Company uses the straight-line method of depreciation for property and equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and major additions, replacements and improvements are capitalized. Long-Lived Assets . Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. A long-lived asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows related to the asset, undiscounted and without interest, are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the asset. If deemed impaired, the long-lived asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. Patents . The costs of applying for patents are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the patent’s economic or legal life (20 years from the date of application in the United States). Capitalized costs are expensed if patents are not issued. The Company reviews the carrying value of patents periodically to determine whether the patents have continuing value and such reviews could result in the conclusion that the recorded amounts have been impaired. 5 Income Taxes . The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. ASC 740 also requires recognition of deferred tax assets for the expected future tax effects of all deductible temporary differences, loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are then reduced, if deemed necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of any tax benefits, which, more likely than not based on current circumstances, are not expected to be realized. As a result, no provision for income tax is reflected in the accompanying statements of operations. Should the Company achieve sufficient, sustained income in the future, the Company may conclude that some or all of the valuation allowance should be reversed. The Company is required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding income tax exposures. At September 30, 2024, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized and had no accrued interest, or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. Revenue Recognition . The Company records revenue at a single point in time, when control is transferred to the customer. The Company will continue to apply the current business processes, policies, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure. The shipping policy is Free On Board (FOB) Shipping Point. We recognize revenue from sales to stocking distributors when there is no right of return, other than for normal warranty claims. The Company has no ongoing obligations related to product sales, except for normal warranty obligations. As presented on the Statement of Operations revenue is disaggregated between product revenue and service revenue. As it relates specifically to product revenue, the Company does not believe further disaggregation is necessary as substantially all of the product revenue comes from multiple products within a line of medical devices. The engineering service contracts are billed on a time and materials basis and revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed. Research and Development Expenses . The Company expenses research and development costs for products and processes as incurred. Stock-Based Compensation . Stock-based compensation is presented in accordance with the guidance of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under the provisions of ASC 718, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the statements of operations. Stock-based compensation expense recognized under ASC 718 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $ 12,637 and $ 25,011 and $ 13,074 and $ 26,149 , respectively, which consisted of stock-based compensation expense related to grants of employee stock options. Segment Reporting . In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) ("ASU 2023-07"), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, requiring companies to disclose segment expense information based on what the chief operating decision maker (CODM) deems to be material. These disclosures must be made both quarterly and annually. As of September 30, 2024 the company is evaluating the adoption of Topic 280. The Company has concluded that we have two operating segments, product and service. Product designs, develops, manufactures and markets patented surgical instruments. Service performs electrical engineering activities for external entities. Information, by segment, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 follows: Schedule of information by segment Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 Six Months Ended September 30, 2024 Product Service Total Product Service Total Net revenue $ 1,653,820 $ 101,568 $ 1,755,388 $ 3,245,779 $ 140,539 $ 3,386,318 Cost of revenue 882,886 44,020 926,906 1,550,520 64,653 1,615,173 Gross profit 770,934 57,548 828,482 1,695,259 75,886 1,771,145 Operating income (loss) ( 216,466 ) 57,548 ( 158,918 ) ( 206,462 ) 75,886 ( 130,576 ) Depreciation and amortization 23,203 — 23,203 42,525 — 42,525 Patent and capital expenditures 40,377 — 40,377 59,918 — 59,918 Equipment and patents, net $ 435,408 $ — $ 435,408 $ 435,408 $ — $ 435,408 6 Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Six Months Ended September 30, 2023 Product Service Total Product Service Total Net revenue $ 1,752,413 $ 73,978 $ 1,826,391 $ 3,365,965 $ 113,809 $ 3,479,774 Cost of revenue 926,455 37,327 963,782 1,696,493 57,947 1,754,440 Gross profit 825,958 36,651 862,609 1,669,472 55,862 1,725,334 Operating income (loss) 6,036 — 6,036 ( 177,714 ) 55,862 ( 121,851 ) Depreciation and amortization 21,525 — 21,525 43,775 — 43,775 Patent and capital expenditures 16,350 — 16,350 16,849 — 16,849 Equipment and patents, net $ 439,484 $ — $ 439,484 $ 439,484 $ — $ 439,484 Note 3. BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME AND LOSS PER COMMON SHARE The Company reports both basic and diluted net income (loss) per share. Basic net income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income or loss per common share is computed by dividing the net income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period if the effect of the potential common shares is dilutive. The shares used in the calculation of dilutive potential common shares exclude options to purchase shares where the exercise price was greater than the average market price of common shares for the period. The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share: Schedule of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Net income (loss) $ ( 170,262 ) $ ( 7,529 ) $ ( 148,222 ) $ ( 147,983 ) Weighted-average basic shares outstanding 11,875,145 11,769,543 11,875,145 11,769,543 Effect of dilutive securities — — — — Weighted-average diluted shares 11,875,145 11,769,543 11,875,145 11,769,543 Basic net income (loss) per share $ ( 0.01 ) $ 0.00 $ ( 0.01 ) $ ( 0.01 ) Diluted net income (loss) per share $ ( 0.01 ) $ 0.00 $ ( 0.01 ) $ ( 0.01 ) Antidilutive employee stock options 1,099,000 1,049,000 1,099,000 1,049,000 Note 4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company has a noncancelable lease agreement for the facilities at 6797 Winchester Circle, Boulder, Colorado. The lease expires October 31, 2026. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"), which modified lease accounting for both lessees and lessors to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as either finance or operating leases under previous accounting standards and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted Topic 842 on April 1, 2019, using the alternative modified transition method, which requires a cumulative effect adjustment, if any, to the opening balance of retained earnings to be recognized on the date of adoption with prior periods not restated. There was no cumulative effect adjustment recorded on April 1, 2019. The primary impact was the balance sheet recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for operating leases as a lessee. The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. The Company currently does not have any finance leases. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, less lease incentives received. The Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the lease liabilities as the leases do not provide an implicit rate. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 7 Effective November 9, 2017, the Company extended the noncancelable lease agreement through July 31, 2024, and further extended it through October 31, 2026, for the facilities at 6797 Winchester Circle, Boulder, Colorado. Lease expense was $ 357,503 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and $ 329,255 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. Lease expense for the six months ended September 30, 2024 is $ 163,937 . The minimum future lease payment, by fiscal year, as of September 30, 2024 is as follows: Schedule of minimum future lease payment Fiscal Year Amount 2025 $ 199,531 2026 430,398 2027 266,212 Total $ 896,141 On August 4, 2020, the Company received $ 150,000 in loan funding from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) program administered by the SBA, which program was expanded pursuant to the CARES Act. The EIDL is evidenced by a promissory note, dated August 1, 2021 in the original principal amount of $ 150,000 with the SBA, the lender. Under the terms of the Note, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at the rate of 3.75 % per annum. The term of the Note is thirty years, though it may be payable sooner upon an event of default under the Note. On November 15, 2023, he Company entered into a loan and security agreement with Pathward, N.A. (formerly Crestmark Bank). The loan is due on demand and has no financial covenants. Under the agreement, the Company was provided with a line of credit that is not to exceed the lesser of $1,000,000 or 85% of eligible accounts receivable.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION The provisions of ASC 718-10-55 requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options and RSUs, based on estimated fair values. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, which was allocated as follows: Schedule of stock-based compensation expense Three Months Ended Six Months Ended September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Cost of sales $ 201 $ — $ 402 $ — Sales and marketing 1,750 1,779 3,369 3,558 General and administrative 10,606 10,254 21,080 20,508 Research and development 80 1,041 160 2,083 Stock-based compensation expense $ 12,637 $ 13,074 $ 25,011 $ 26,149 Share-based compensation cost for stock options is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton ("BSM") option-pricing model. The BSM option-pricing model requires the use of actual employee exercise behavior data and the application of a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. There were 45,000 and 410,000 stock options granted and 22,000 and 62,000 exercised or forfeited during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, approximately $ 199,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested stock options is expected to be recognized over a period of five years. Note 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION The Company paid consulting fees of $ 15,043 and $ 27,670 and $ 15,747 and $ 32,032 to an entity owned by one of the board members during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Note 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Management evaluated all of the activity as of the date the unaudited condensed interim financial statements were issued and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the financial statements or disclosed in the notes to the unaudited condensed interim financial statements. 9 ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Certain statements contained in this section on Management’s Discussion and Analysis are not historical facts, including statements about strategies and expectations with respect to new and existing products, market demand, acceptance of new and existing products, marketing efforts, technologies and opportunities, market and industry segment growth, and return on investments in products and markets. These statements are forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve substantial risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward looking statements. All forward looking statements in this section on Management’s Discussion and Analysis are based on information available to us on the date of this document, and we assume no obligation to update such forward looking statements. Readers of this Form 10-Q are strongly encouraged to review the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. General Encision Inc., a medical device company based in Boulder, Colorado, has developed and markets innovative technology that provides unprecedented outcomes and patient safety in minimally-invasive surgery. Approximately one in every three surgeons may have a patient injury each year from preventable stray energy burns. We believe that the patented Active Electrode Monitoring (“AEM®”) AEM EndoShield™ Burn Protection System is changing the marketplace for electrosurgical devices and laparoscopic instruments by providing a solution to a well-documented hazard unique to laparoscopic surgery. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services has published its Hospital-Acquired Condition Reduction Program. The program has begun to levy as much as a 1% penalty on Medicare reimbursements to hospitals in the lower quadrant of performance for selected quality indicators, including accidental puncture and laceration (“APL”). Examples of APL include the use of a cautery device (electrosurgery) or scissors to dissect a tissue plane that errantly causes an injury to underlying bowels. We address market opportunities created by the increase in minimally-invasive surgery (“MIS”) and surgeons’ use of electrosurgery devices in these procedures. The product opportunity exists in that monopolar electrosurgery instruments used in laparoscopic procedures provide excellent clinical results, but are also susceptible to causing inadvertent collateral tissue damage outside the surgeon’s field of view due to insulation failure and capacitive coupling. The risk of unintended electrosurgical burn injury to the patient in laparoscopic surgery has been well documented. This risk poses a threat to patient safety, including the risk of death, and creates liability exposure for surgeons and hospitals, as well as increased and preventable readmissions. The patented AEM technology provides surgeons with the desired tissue effects, while capturing stray electrosurgical energy that can cause unintended and unseen tissue injury that may result in death. AEM Surgical Instruments are equivalent to conventional instruments in size, shape, ergonomics, functionality and competitive pricing, but they incorporate “Active Electrode Monitoring” technology to dynamically and continuously monitor the flow of electrosurgical current, thereby preventing patient injury from stray energy burns. With the “shielded and monitored” instruments, surgeons can perform electrosurgical procedures more safely, effectively and economically than is possible using conventional instruments or alternative energy sources. The AEM system consists of shielded 5mm AEM Instruments and an AEM monitor. The AEM Instruments are designed to function identically to the conventional 5mm instruments that surgeons are familiar with, but with the added benefit of enhanced patient safety. The entire line of laparoscopic instruments has the integrated AEM design and includes the full range of instruments that are common in laparoscopic surgery today. The AEM monitor is compatible with most electrosurgical generators and can also be adapted for use in robotic systems. AEM Surgical Instruments provide enhanced patient safety, require no change in surgeon technique and are cost competitive. Thus, conversion to AEM Surgical Instruments is easy and economical. AEM technology has been recommended and endorsed by many groups involved in MIS. Surgeons, nurses, biomedical engineers, the medicolegal community, malpractice insurance carriers and electrosurgical device manufacturers advocate the use of AEM technology. We have focused our marketing strategies to date on expanding the market awareness of the AEM technology and our broad independent endorsements and have continued efforts to improve and expand the AEM technology penetration. 10 When a hospital or surgery center changes to AEM technology, we receive recurring revenue from sales of replacement instruments. We believe that there is no directly competing technology to supplant AEM products. The replacement market of reusable and disposable AEM products in hospitals and surgery centers that use our AEM technology represented over 90% of our product revenue during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024. This revenue stream is expected to grow as the base of accounts using AEM technology expands. In addition, we intend to further develop disposable versions of more of our AEM products in order to meet market demands and expand our sales opportunities. We have an accumulated deficit of $22,693,269 at September 30, 2024. A significant portion of our operating funds have been provided by issuances of our common stock and warrants and the exercise of stock options to purchase our common stock, loans, and (in some periods) by operating profits. Should our liquidity be diminished in the future because of operating losses, we may be required to seek additional capital. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, we generated $192,699 of cash in our operating activities and used $42,559 for investments in property and equipment. At September 30, 2024, we had $230,014 in cash and at March 31, 2024 we had $42,509 in cash available to fund future operations, an increase of $187,505 from March 31, 2024. The increase to cash was principally the result of cash generated by operating activities and borrowing from our line of credit. Our working capital was $1,142,362 at September 30, 2024 compared to $1,206,252 at March 31, 2024. Historical Perspective We were organized in 1991 and spent several years developing the AEM monitoring system and protective sheaths to adapt to conventional electrosurgical instruments. We have invested heavily in an effort to protect our valuable technology, and, as a result of this effort, we have been issued 16 unexpired relevant patents that together form a significant intellectual property position. Our patents relate to the basic shielding and monitoring technologies that we incorporate into our AEM products. Our AEM Surgical Instruments have been engineered to provide a seamless transition for surgeons switching from conventional laparoscopic instruments. AEM technology has been integrated into instruments that have the same look, feel and functionality as conventional instruments that surgeons have been using for years. The AEM product line encompasses the full range of instrument sizes, types and styles favored by surgeons. Additionally, we continue to improve quality and add to the product line. These additions include more disposable versions, the introduction of hand-activated instruments, our enhanced scissors, our eEdge™ scissors, our EM3 AEM Monitor, our AEM EndoShield Burn Protection System and the recent introduction of our AEM 2X enTouch® Scissors. Hospitals can make a complete and smooth conversion to our product line, thereby advancing patient safety in MIS with optimal convenience. Outlook Installed Base of AEM Monitoring Equipment : We believe that sales of our installed base of AEM products will increase as the inherent risks associated with monopolar laparoscopic electrosurgery become more widely acknowledged and as we focus on increasing our sales efficiency and continue to enhance our product line. We expect that the replacement sales of electrosurgical instruments and accessories will also increase as additional facilities adopt AEM technology. We anticipate that the efforts to improve the productivity of sales representatives carrying the AEM product line, along with the introduction of next generation products, may provide the basis for increased sales and profitable operations. However, these measures, or any others that we may adopt, may not result in either increased sales or profitable operations. We believe that the unique performance of the AEM technology and our breadth of independent endorsements provide an opportunity for continued market share growth. In our view, market awareness and awareness of the clinical credibility of the AEM technology, as well as awareness of our endorsements, are improving, and we expect this awareness to benefit our sales efforts for the remainder of fiscal year 2025. Our objectives for the remainder of fiscal year 2025 are to optimize sales execution, to expand market awareness of the AEM technology and to maximize the number of additional hospital and surgery center accounts switching to AEM instruments while retaining existing customers. In addition, acceptance of AEM products depends on surgeons’ preference for our instruments, which depends on factors such as ergonomics, quality and ease of use in addition to the technological and safety advantages of AEM products. If surgeons prefer other instruments to our instruments, our business results will suffer. Possibility of Operating Losses : We have an accumulated deficit of $22,693,269 at September 30, 2024. A significant portion of our operating funds have been provided by issuances of our common stock and warrants and the exercise of stock options to purchase our common stock, loans, and (in some periods) by operating profits. Should our liquidity be diminished in the future because of operating losses, we may be required to seek additional capital. We have made strides toward improving our operating results but due to the ongoing need to develop, optimize and train our direct sales managers and the independent sales representative network, the need to support the development of refinements to our product line, and the need to increase sustained sales to a level adequate to cover fixed and variable operating costs, we may operate at a net loss. Sustained losses, or our inability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund our obligations, may result in a need to raise additional capital. 11 Revenue Growth : We expect to generate increased product revenue in the U.S. from sales to new customers and from expanded sales to existing customers as the medical device industry stabilizes and our network of direct and independent sales representatives becomes more efficient. We believe that the visibility and credibility of the independent clinical endorsements for AEM technology will contribute to new accounts and increased product revenue in fiscal year 2025 . We also expect to increase market share through promotional programs of placing our AEM monitors at no charge into hospitals that commit to standardize with AEM instruments. However, all of these efforts to increase market share and grow product revenue will depend in part on our ability to expand the efficiency and effective coverage range of our direct and independent sales representatives, as well as maintain and in some cases, improve the quality of our product offerings. The omission or delay of elective surgeries would negatively impact the extent and timing of revenue growth. Service revenue represents design, development and product supply revenue from our agreements with strategic partners. We also have longer-term initiatives in place to improve our prospects. We expect that development of next generation versions of our AEM products will better position our products in the marketplace and improve our retention rate at hospitals and surgery centers that have changed to AEM technology, enabling us to grow our sales. We are exploring overseas markets to assess opportunities for sales growth internationally. Finally, we intend to explore opportunities to capitalize on our proven AEM technology via licensing arrangements and strategic alliances. These efforts to generate additional sales and further the market penetration of our products are longer term in nature and may not materialize. Even if we are able to successfully develop next generation products or identify potential international markets or strategic partners, we may not be able to capitalize on these opportunities. Gross Profit and Gross Margins : Gross profit and gross margins can be expected to fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of product sales mix, sales volume and service revenue. Gross margins on products manufactured or assembled by us are expected to improve at higher levels of production and sales. Sales and Marketing Expenses : We continue to refine our domestic and international distribution capability, and we believe that sales and marketing expenses will decrease as a percentage of net sales with increasing sales volume. Research and Development Expenses : Research and development expenses are expected to increase to support quality improvement efforts and development of refinements to our AEM product line and new products, which will further expand options for surgeons and hospitals. Results of Operations For the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Net Product revenue. Net product revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $1,653,820 compared to $1,752,413 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of 6%. The decrease in net product revenue is primarily due to a reduction in the sales of disposable products, which suggests a decrease in the number of procedures performed during this perod. This reduction in procedural volume has, in turn, lowered the overall demand for our products. Net Service revenue. Net service revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $101,568 compared to $73,978 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Increase was because of services performed under a Master Services Agreement with Vicarious Surgical Inc. G ross profit . Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 of $828,482 represented a decrease of 4% from gross profit of $862,609 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Gross profit decreased because of a non-cash cost increase of $81,603 to inventory reserves for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Gross profit on product net revenue as a percentage of sales (gross margin) was 47% for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. If the cost increase to inventory reserve were excluded, then gross profit on net revenue would have been 52%. Sales and marketing expenses . Sales and marketing expenses of $458,480 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 represented an increase of 18% from sales and marketing expenses of $389,342 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The increase was because of trade shows and commissions. 12 General and administrative expenses . General and administrative expenses of $373,405 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 represented an increase of 2% from general and administrative expenses of $366,377 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.This increase was because of additional staffing needs. Research and development expenses . Research and development expenses of $155,515 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 represented an increase of 54% compared to $100,854 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The increase was because of an increase of allocated resources for product development. Net loss. Net loss was $170,262 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to net loss of $7,529 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The increase to net loss was primarily because of the increase to inventory reserves and an increase to operating expenses. For the six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023. Net Product revenue. Net product revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2024 was $3,245,779 compared to $3,365,965 for the six months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of 4%. The decrease of net product revenue is attributable to decreased demand for our products. Net Service revenue. Net service revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2024 was $140,539 compared to $113,809 for the six months ended September 30, 2023. Net service revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2023 was for engineering services performed under a Master Services Agreement with Vicarious Surgical Inc. G ross profit . Gross profit for the six months ended September 30, 2024 of $1,771,145 represented an increase of 3% from gross profit of $1,725,334 for the six months ended September 30, 2023. Gross profit on product net revenue as a percentage of sales (gross margin) was 52% for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 50% for the six months ended September 30, 2023. Gross profit on net revenue increased because of higher operating efficiencies. Sales and marketing expenses . Sales and marketing expenses of $881,716 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 represented an increase of 7% from sales and marketing expenses of $822,778 for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was the result of higher commissions. General and administrative expenses . General and administrative expenses of $725,310 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 represented a decrease of 4% from general and administrative expenses of $755,133 for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was because of decreased bad debt expense and outside accountants’ cost. Research and development expenses . Research and development expenses of $294,695 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 represented an increase of 9% compared to $269,274 for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was the result of an increase to allocations. Net loss. Net loss was $148,222 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 compared to net loss of $147,983 for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for all or any part of the balance of the fiscal year. Liquidity and Capital Resources To date, a significant portion of our operating funds have been provided by issuances of our common stock and warrants, the exercise of stock options to purchase our common stock, loans, and (in some periods) by operating profits. Common stock and additional paid in capital totaled $24,395,358 from inception through September 30, 2024. On August 4, 2020, we received $150,000 in loan funding from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) program administered by the SBA, which program was expanded pursuant to the CARES Act. The EIDL is evidenced by a promissory note, dated August 1, 2021 in the original principal amount of $150,000 with the SBA, the lender. Under the terms of the Note, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at the rate of 3.75% per annum. The term of the Note is thirty years, though it may be payable sooner upon an event of default under the Note. During January 2023, we entered into a note agreement with U.S. Bank for $92,000. The note is for five years at a 5% interest rate and the proceeds were used to purchase equipment. The note is secured by the equipment. 13 During September 2023, we entered into a note agreement with U.S. Bank for $115,004. The note is for five years at a 6% interest rate and the proceeds were used to purchase equipment. The note is secured by the equipment. On November 15, 2023, we entered into a loan and security agreement with Pathward, N.A. (formerly Crestmark Bank). The loan is due on demand and has no financial covenants. Under the agreement, we were provided with a line of credit that is not to exceed the lesser of $1,000,000 or 85% of eligible accounts receivable. The interest rate is prime rate plus 0.5%, with a floor of 6.75%, plus a monthly maintenance fee of 0.4%, based on the average monthly loan balance. Interest is charged on a minimum loan balance of $300,000, a loan fee of 0.5% at closing and annually, and an exit fee of 3%, 2% and 1% during years one, two and three respectively. Our operations generated $192,699 of cash during the six months ended September 30, 2024 on net revenue of $3,386,318. The amounts of cash generated by operations for the six months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the expected amounts of cash to be generated from or used in operations in fiscal year 2025. At September 30, 2024, we had $230,014 in cash available to fund future operations and a line of credit for up to $921,149, restricted by eligible account receivables. Our working capital was $1,142,362 at September 30, 2024 compared to $1,206,252 at March 31, 2024. Current liabilities were $1,140,082 at September 30, 2024 compared to $1,220,022 at March 31, 2024. We have a noncancelable lease agreement for our facilities at 6797 Winchester Circle, Boulder, Colorado. The lease expires October 31, 2026. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which modified lease accounting for both lessees and lessors to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous accounting standards and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The primary impact for us was the balance sheet recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for operating leases as a lessee. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, less lease incentives received. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the lease liabilities as our leases do not provide an implicit rate. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The minimum future EIDL payment, by fiscal year, as of September 30, 2024 is as follows: Fiscal Year Amount 2025 $ 1,581 2026 3,147 2027 3,189 2028 3,294 Thereafter 143,892 Total $ 155,103 During June 2020, we entered into a note agreement with U.S. Bank for $92,000. The note is for five years at a 5% interest rate and the proceeds were used to purchase equipment. The note is secured by the equipment. The minimum future U.S. Bank payment, by fiscal year, as of September 30, 2024 is as follows: Fiscal Year Amount 2025 $ 9,200 2026 13,800 Total $ 23,000 During September 2022, we entered into a note agreement with U.S. Bank for $115,004. The note is for five years at a 6% interest rate and the proceeds were used to purchase equipment. The note is secured by the equipment. 14 The minimum future principal U.S. Bank payment, by fiscal year, as of September 30, 2024 is as follows: Fiscal Year Amount 2025 11,897 2026 23,794 2027 23,794 2028 5,949 Total $ 65,434 Aside from the line of credit, operating lease, EIDL loan and U.S. Bank loans, we do not have any material contractual commitments requiring settlement in the future. As of September 30, 2024, the following table shows our contractual obligations for the periods presented: Payment due by period Contractual obligations Totals Less than 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years More than 5 years Line of credit $ 78,851 $ 78,851 $ — $ — $ — Operating lease obligations 896,141 414,730 481,411 — — EIDL loan 155,103 3,147 6,401 6,856 138,699 U.S. Bank loan 23,000 16,100 6,900 — — U.S. Bank loan 65,434 23,794 41,640 — — Total $ 1,218,529 $ 536,622 $ 536,352 $ 6,856 $ 138,699 Our fiscal year 2025 operating plan is focused on increasing new accounts, retaining existing customers, growing revenue, increasing gross profits and conserving cash. We are investing in research and development efforts to develop next generation versions of the AEM product line. We have invested in manufacturing property and equipment to manufacture disposable scissors inserts internally and to reduce our cost of product revenue. We cannot predict with certainty the expected revenue, gross profit, net income or loss and usage of cash for fiscal year 2024. If we are unable to manage our business operations in line with budget expectations, it could have a material adverse effect on our business viability, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Income Taxes As of March 31, 2024, net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $8.9 million are available to reduce taxable income in the future. The net operating loss carryforwards expire, if not previously utilized, at various dates beginning in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. We have not paid income taxes since our inception. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 and other income tax regulations contain provisions which may limit the net operating loss carryforwards available to be used in any given year if certain events occur, including changes in ownership interests. We have established a valuation allowance for the entire amount of our deferred tax asset since inception due to our history of losses. Should we achieve sufficient, sustained income in the future, we may conclude that some or all of the valuation allowance should be reversed. If some or all of the valuation allowance were reversed, then, to the extent of the reversal, a tax benefit would be recognized which would result in an increase to net income. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, sales returns, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. 15 We record revenue at a single point in time, when control is transferred to the customer, which is consistent with past practice. We will continue to apply our current business processes, policies, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure. Our shipping policy is FOB Shipping Point. We recognize revenue from sales to stocking distributors when there is no right of return, other than for normal warranty claims. We have no ongoing obligations related to product sales, except for normal warranty obligations. We evaluated the requirement to disaggregate revenue, and concluded that substantially all of our revenue comes from multiple products within a line of medical devices. Our engineering service contracts are billed on a time and materials basis and revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed. We record deferred revenue when funds are received prior to the recognition of the associated revenue. We record a contract liability to deferred revenue which includes customer prepayments and is included in other accrued liabilities. We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time sales are recognized. While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers, we have experienced some costs related to warranties. The warranty accrual is based on historical experience and is adjusted based on current experience. Should actual warranty experience differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required. We reduce inventory for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated realizable value based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Any write-downs of inventory would reduce our reported net income during the period in which such write-downs were applied. To the extent that our estimates prove to be too high, and we ultimately utilize or sell inventory previously determined to be impaired, we may record a reversal of the provision in the period of such determination. We recognize deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are then reduced, if deemed necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of any tax benefits, which, more likely than not based on current circumstances, are not expected to be realized. Should we maintain sufficient, sustained income in the future, we may conclude that all or some of the valuation allowance should be reversed. Property and equipment are stated at cost, with depreciation computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally five to seven years. We use the straight-line method of depreciation for property and equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and major additions, replacements and improvements are capitalized. We amortize our patent costs over their estimated useful lives, which is typically the remaining statutory life. From time to time, we may be required to adjust these useful lives of our patents based on advances in technology, competitor actions, and the like. We review the recorded amounts of patents at each period end to determine if their carrying amount is still recoverable based on our expectations regarding sales of related products. Such an assessment, in the future, may result in a conclusion that the assets are impaired, with a corresponding charge against earnings. We currently estimate forfeitures for stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options at 40% and evaluate the forfeiture rate quarterly. Other assumptions that are used in calculating stock-based compensation expense include risk-free interest rate, expected life, expected volatility and expected dividend. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item. 16 ITEM 4. C ontrols and procedures Management’s Evaluation of Disclosures Controls and Procedures Our management, comprised of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer (PFAO) evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based on that evaluation, and taking the matters described below into account, the Company’s CEO and PFAO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting were not effective during reporting period ended September 30, 2024. Remediation Activities Regarding Material Weakness As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the March 31, 2024 fiscal year, management determined that (i) we had a material weakness over our entity level control environment as of March 31, 2024 and (ii) our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2024. Management has been actively engaged in remediating the above described material weaknesses. The following remedial actions have been taken: · We have made changes in our policy regarding how contract revenue and related costs are booked. Under the revised policy, such revenue and costs are now booked in the same month as the related work is performed. · We have changed our policy regarding reserves for slow moving inventory. Under our revised, policy we now book additional inventory reserves for all inventory older than 18 months, even if management believes such inventory is still salable. While progress has been made to enhance our internal control over financial reporting, we are still in the process of implementing these processes, procedures and controls. Additional time is required to complete implementation and to assess and ensure the sustainability of these procedures. We believe the above actions will be effective in remediating the material weaknesses described above and we will continue to devote significant time and attention to these remedial efforts. However, the material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded that these controls are operating effectively. Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Other than the applicable remediation efforts described above, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 17 PART II. Item 1. Legal Proceedings From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently aware of any such proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Item 1A. Risk Factors In addition to the information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to our risk factors from those included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds None. Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities We did not repurchase any of our equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities None. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures None. Item 5.
