NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (amounts in these accompanying notes are presented in thousands, except number of shares and per-share amounts.) Note 1 — Summary Description of the Company Lucid Diagnostics Inc. (“Lucid”, “Lucid Diagnostics” or the “Company”) is a commercial-stage medical diagnostics technology company focused on the millions of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (“GERD”), also known as chronic heartburn, acid reflux or simply reflux, who are at risk of developing esophageal precancer and cancer, specifically highly lethal esophageal adenocarcinoma (“EAC”). Lucid is a majority-owned subsidiary of PAVmed Inc. (“PAVmed”). The Company believes that its flagship product, the EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test, performed on samples collected with the EsoCheck Esophageal Cell Collection Device, constitutes the first and only commercially available diagnostic test capable of serving as a widespread tool for the early detection of esophageal precancer in at-risk gastroesophageal reflux disease (“GERD,” also commonly known as chronic heartburn, acid reflux or simply reflux) patients. Early detection of esophageal precancer allows patients to undergo appropriate monitoring and treatment, as indicated by clinical practice guidelines, in an effort to prevent progression to esophageal cancer. EsoGuard is a bisulfite-converted next-generation sequencing (NGS) DNA assay performed on surface esophageal cells collected with EsoCheck. Cell samples, including those collected with EsoCheck, as discussed below, are sent to our laboratory, for testing and analyses using our proprietary EsoGuard NGS DNA assay. EsoCheck is an FDA 510(k) and CE Mark cleared noninvasive swallowable balloon capsule catheter device capable of sampling surface esophageal cells in a less than five-minute office procedure. It consists of a vitamin pill-sized rigid plastic capsule tethered to a thin silicone catheter from which a soft silicone balloon with textured ridges emerges to gently swab surface esophageal cells. When vacuum suction is applied, the balloon and sampled cells are pulled into the capsule, protecting them from contamination and dilution by cells outside of the targeted region during device withdrawal. The Company believes that this proprietary Collect+Protect™ technology makes EsoCheck the only noninvasive esophageal cell collection device capable of such anatomically targeted and protected sampling. EsoGuard and EsoCheck are based on patented technology licensed by Lucid from Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”). EsoGuard and EsoCheck have been developed to provide an accurate, non-invasive, patient-friendly test for the early detection of EAC and Barrett’s Esophagus (“BE”), including dysplastic BE and related pre-cursors to EAC in patients with chronic GERD. The Company is subject to all of the risks and uncertainties typically faced by medical device and diagnostic companies that devote substantially all of their efforts to the commercialization of their initial product and services and ongoing research and development activities and conducting clinical trials. The Company expects to continue to experience recurring losses from operations and will continue to fund its operations with debt and equity financing transactions. Notwithstanding, however, with the cash on-hand as of the date hereof and committed equity sources of financing, the Company expects to be able to fund its operations and meet its financial obligations as they become due for the one year period from the date of the issue of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as included herein in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023. 6 Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s significant accounting policies are as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 14, 2023, except as otherwise noted herein below. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is a majority-owned consolidated subsidiary of PAVmed, which has a majority equity ownership interest and has financial control of the Company. The Company manages its operations as a single operating segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. As permitted under SEC rules, certain footnotes or other financial information normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements at such date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, and in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of routine recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial information. The consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any other interim period or for any other future periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related unaudited condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 14, 2023. All amounts in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto are presented in thousands of dollars, if not otherwise noted as being presented in millions of dollars, except for shares and per share amounts. Use of Estimates In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and the determination of corresponding carrying value reserves, if any, and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent losses, as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include those related to the estimated fair value of debt obligations, stock-based equity awards and intangible assets. Other significant estimates include the estimated incremental borrowing rate, the provision or benefit for income taxes and the corresponding valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Additionally, management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Due to inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in these estimates. Revenue Recognition Revenues are recognized when the satisfaction of the performance obligation occurs, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to collect in exchange for those services. The Company’s revenue is primarily generated by its laboratory testing services utilizing its EsoGuard Esophageal DNA tests. The services are completed upon release of a patient’s test result to the ordering healthcare provider. Revenue recognized is inclusive of both variable consideration in connection with an individual patient’s third-party insurance coverage policy and fixed consideration in connection with a contracted services arrangement with an unrelated third party legal entity. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. 7 Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued The key aspects considered by the Company include the following: Contracts —The Company’s customer is primarily the patient, but the Company does not enter into a formal reimbursement contract with a patient. The Company establishes a contract with a patient in accordance with other customary business practices, which is the point in time an order is received from a provider and a patient specimen has been returned to the laboratory for testing. Payment terms are a function of a patient’s existing insurance benefits, including the impact of coverage decisions with Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and applicable reimbursement contracts established between the Company and payers. However, when a patient is considered self-pay, the Company requires payment from the patient prior to the commencement of the Company’s performance obligations. The Company’s consideration can be deemed variable or fixed depending on the structure of specific payer contracts, and the Company considers collection of such consideration to be probable to the extent that it is unconstrained. Performance obligations —A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) to the customer. The Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, which is satisfied upon rendering of services, which culminates in the release of a patient’s test result to the ordering healthcare provider. The Company elects the practical expedient related to the disclosure of unsatisfied performance obligations, as the duration of time between providing testing supplies, the receipt of a sample, and the release of a test result to the ordering healthcare provider is far less than one year. Transaction price —The transaction price is the amount of consideration that the Company expects to collect in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example, some sales taxes). The consideration expected to be collected from a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. If the consideration derived from the contracts is deemed to be variable, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the promised goods or services. The Company limits the amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price to the unconstrained portion of such consideration. In other words, the Company recognizes revenue up to the amount of variable consideration that is not subject to a significant reversal until additional information is obtained or the uncertainty associated with the additional payments or refunds is subsequently resolved. When the Company does not have significant historical experience or that experience has limited predictive value, the constraint over estimates of variable consideration may result in no revenue being recognized upon delivery of patient EsoGuard test results to the ordering healthcare provider. As such, the Company recognizes revenue up to the amount of variable consideration not subject to a significant reversal until additional information is obtained or the uncertainty associated with additional payments or refunds, if any, is subsequently resolved. Differences between original estimates and subsequent revisions, including final settlements, represent changes in estimated expected variable consideration, with the change in estimate recognized in the period of such revised estimate. With respect to a contracted service arrangement, the fixed consideration revenue is recognized on an as-billed basis upon delivery of the laboratory test report with realization of such fixed consideration deemed probable based upon actual historical experience. Allocate transaction price —The transaction price is allocated entirely to the performance obligation contained within the contract with a customer on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or service. Practical Expedients —The Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component, as at contract inception, the Company expects the collection cycle to be one year or less. Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, (ASC 820) defines fair value as the price which would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a transaction measurement date. The ASC 820 three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, as follows: Level 1 Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. Level 2 Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets which are not active, or other inputs observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment. The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if those instruments or any embedded components of those instruments potentially qualify as derivatives required to be separately accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). 8 Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued The recurring and non-recurring estimated fair value measurements are subjective and are affected by changes in inputs to the valuation models, including the Company’s common stock price, and certain Level 3 inputs, including, the assumptions regarding the estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s common stock price; the Company’s dividend yield; the likelihood and timing of future dilutive transactions, as applicable, along with the risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the estimated fair values. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying values of cash, and accounts payable, approximate their respective fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Fair Value Option (“FVO”) Election Under a Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 13, 2023, the Company issued a Senior Secured Convertible Note dated March 21, 2023, referred to herein as the “March 2023 Senior Convertible Note”, which is accounted under the “fair value option election” as discussed below. Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Derivative and Hedging , (“ASC 815”), a financial instrument containing embedded features and/or options may be required to be bifurcated from the financial instrument host and recognized as separate derivative asset or liability, with the bifurcated derivative asset or liability initially measured at estimated fair value as of the transaction issue date and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value as of each reporting period balance sheet date. Alternatively, FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments , (“ASC 825”) provides for the “fair value option” (“FVO”) election. In this regard, ASC 825-10-15-4 provides for the FVO election (to the extent not otherwise prohibited by ASC 825-10-15-5) to be afforded to financial instruments, wherein the financial instrument is initially measured at estimated fair value as of the transaction issue date and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value as of each reporting period balance sheet date, with changes in the estimated fair value recognized as other income (expense) in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value adjustment of the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note is presented in a single line item within other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations (as provided for by ASC 825-10-50-30(b)). Further, as required by ASC 825-10-45-5, to the extent a portion of the fair value adjustment is attributed to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk, such portion would be recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) (for which there was no such adjustment with respect to the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note). See Note 10, Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements, with respect to the FVO election; and Note 11, Debt, for a discussion of the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note. Reclassifications Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, which includes presenting costs of revenue within operating expenses on the statements of operations, in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The impact of the reclassifications made to prior year amounts is not material and did not affect net loss. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The updated guidance requires companies to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets, including trade receivables. The guidance was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2023. The adoption of the ASU did not have an impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 9 Note 3 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers EsoGuard Commercialization Agreement The Company entered into the EsoGuard Commercialization Agreement, dated August 1, 2021, with its former commercial laboratory service provider, ResearchDx Inc.

As discussed in Note 11, Debt , the Company issued a Senior Secured Convertible Note dated March 21, 2023 with a $ 11.1 million face value principal (“March 2023 Senior Convertible Note”.) The convertible note is accounted for under the ASC 825-10-15-4 fair value option (“FVO”) election, wherein, the financial instrument is initially measured at its issue date estimated fair value and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date. The estimated fair value of the financial instruments classified within the Level 3 category was determined using both observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Unrealized gains and losses associated with liabilities within the Level 3 category include changes in fair value attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long- dated volatilities) inputs. The estimated fair value of the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note as of each of March 21, 2023 and June 30, 2023 were computed using a Monte Carlo simulation of the present value of its cash flows using a synthetic credit rating analysis and a required rate-of-return, using the following assumptions: Schedule of Fair Value Assumption Used March 2023 Senior Convertible Note: March 21, 2023 March 2023 Senior Convertible Note: June 30, 2023 Fair Value $ 11,900 $ 11,610 Face value principal payable $ 11,111 $ 11,111 Required rate of return 11.00 % 11.00 % Conversion Price $ 5.00 $ 5.00 Value of common stock $ 1.54 $ 1.39 Expected term (years) 2.00 1.73 Volatility 75.00 % 70.00 % Risk free rate 4.09 % 4.89 % Dividend yield — % — % The estimated fair values reported utilized the Company’s common stock price along with certain Level 3 inputs (as discussed in the table above), in the development of Monte Carlo simulation models, discounted cash flow analyses, and /or Black-Scholes valuation models. The estimated fair values are subjective and are affected by changes in inputs to the valuation models and analyses, including the Company’s common stock price, the Company’s dividend yield, the risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields, and certain other Level-3 inputs including, assumptions regarding the estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s common stock price. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the estimated fair values. 15 Note 11 — Debt The fair value and face value principal outstanding of the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note as of the dates indicated are as follows: Summary of Outstanding Debt Contractual Maturity Date Stated Interest Rate Conversion Price per Share Face Value Principal Outstanding Fair Value March 2023 Senior Convertible Note March 21, 2025 7.875 % $ 5.00 $ 11,111 $ 11,610 Balance as of June 30, 2023 $ 11,111 $ 11,610 The changes in the fair value of debt during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 is as follows: Schedule of Changes in Fair Value of Debt March 2023 Senior Convertible Note Other Income (expense) Fair Value - December 31, 2022 $ — $ — Face value principal – issue date 11,111 — Fair value adjustment – issue date 789 ( 789 ) Change in fair value — — Fair Value at March 31, 2023 $ 11,900 - Other Income (Expense) - Change in fair value – three months ended March 31, 2023 $ ( 789 ) Change in fair value ( 290 ) 290 Fair Value at June 30, 2023 $ 11,610 - Other Income (Expense) - Change in fair value – three months ended June 30, 2023 $ 290 Other Income (Expense) - Change in fair value – six months ended June 30, 2023 $ ( 499 ) March 2023 Senior Secured Convertible Note Lucid Diagnostics entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) dated March 13, 2023, with an accredited institutional investor (“Investor”, “Lender”, and /or “Holder”), wherein Lucid agreed to sell, and the Investor agreed to purchase, an aggregate of $ 11.1 million face value principal of debt.

In connection with the issuance the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Designation”). The key terms of the Series A Preferred Stock are as follows: Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock, equal to the number of Series A Preferred Shares to be converted, multiplied by the stated value of $ 1,000 (the “Stated Value”), divided by the conversion price in effect at the time of the conversion. The initial conversion price is $ 1.394 , subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at any time at the option of the holder from and after the six-month anniversary of its issuance, and automatically converts into shares of our common stock on March 7, 2025, the second anniversary of its issuance. The Series A Preferred Stock will be senior to the Common Stock and any other class of the Company’s capital stock that is not by its terms senior to or pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock. 19 Note 13 — Stockholders’ Equity - continued The holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends payable as follows: (i) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 20% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock then held by such Holder on March 7, 2024, and (ii) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 20% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock then held by such Holder on March 7, 2025. A holder that converts its Series A Preferred Stock prior to March 7, 2024 or March 7, 2025, as the case may be, will not receive the dividend that accrues on such date with respect to such converted Series A Preferred Stock. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock also will be entitled to dividends equal, on an as-if-converted to shares of Common Stock basis, to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as, and if such dividends are paid on shares of the Common Stock . In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (or any Deemed Liquidation Event as defined in the Certificate of Designation), the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Value, plus any dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such event. The Series A Preferred Stock is a non-voting security, other than with respect to limited matters related to changes in terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Company will not effect any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and a holder will not have the right to receive dividends or convert any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the receipt of dividends or the conversion, the holder (together with such holder’s affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of the holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (or, upon election of the holder, 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock) . The Company and the investors in the offering also executed a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Series A Preferred Stock. Lucid Diagnostics Common Stock In June 2023, the Company received shareholder approval to issue up to 200 million shares of its common stock, an increase of 100 million shares. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 there were 41,853,603 and 40,518,792 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, PAVmed holds 31,302,420 shares, representing a majority-interest equity ownership and PAVmed has a controlling financial interest in the Company. Committed Equity Facility and ATM Facility On March 28, 2022, the Company entered into a committed equity facility with an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald (“Cantor”). Under the terms of the committed equity facility, Cantor has committed to purchase up to $ 50 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time at the request of the Company. While there are distinct differences, the facility is structured similarly to a traditional at-the-market equity facility, insofar as it allows the Company to raise primary equity capital on a periodic basis at prices based on the existing market price. Cumulatively a total of 680,263 shares of Lucid Diagnostics’ common stock were issued for net proceeds of approximately $ 1.8 million, after a 4 % discount, as of June 30, 2023. In November 2022, the Company entered into an “at-the-market offering” (“ATM”) for up to $ 6.5 million of its common stock that may be offered and sold under a Controlled Equity Offering Agreement between the Company and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold 230,068 shares through the at-the-market equity facility for net proceeds of approximately $ 0.3 million, after payments of 3 % commissions. No shares were sold under the at-the-market equity facility during the three months ended June 30, 2023. 20 Note 14 — Net Loss Per Share The Net loss per share basic and diluted for the respective periods indicated is as follows: Schedule of Basic and Fully Diluted Net Loss Per Share 2023 2022 2023 2022 Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Numerator Net loss $ ( 11,381 ) $ ( 14,624 ) $ ( 27,628 ) $ ( 26,894 ) Denominator Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic and diluted 41,833,823 35,760,492 41,404,547 35,443,526 Net loss per share Net loss per share - basic and diluted $ ( 0.27 ) $ ( 0.41 ) $ ( 0.67 ) $ ( 0.76 ) Basic weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 include the shares of the Company issued and outstanding during such periods, each on a weighted average basis. The basic weighted average number of shares common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalent incremental shares, while diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding includes such incremental shares. However, as the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same, as the inclusion of the incremental shares would be anti-dilutive. The common stock equivalents excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding are as follows: Schedule of Anti-dilutive Securities Excluded from Computation of Diluted Earnings Per Share 2023 2022 June 30, 2023 2022 Stock options 4,949,962 2,459,666 Unvested restricted stock awards 1,872,100 2,260,740 Preferred stock 13,695,850 — Total 20,517,912 4,720,406 21 Item 2.

Overview We are a commercial-stage medical diagnostics technology company focused on the millions of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (“GERD”), also known as chronic heartburn, acid reflux or simply reflux, who are at risk of developing esophageal precancer and cancer, specifically highly lethal esophageal adenocarcinoma (“EAC”). We believe that our flagship product, the EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test, performed on samples collected with the EsoCheck Esophageal Cell Collection Device, constitutes the first and only commercially available diagnostic test capable of serving as a widespread tool for the early detection of esophageal precancer, including Barrett’s Esophagus (“BE”), in at-risk GERD patients. Early detection of esophageal precancer allows patients to undergo appropriate monitoring and treatment, as indicated by clinical practice guidelines, in an effort to prevent progression to esophageal cancer. EsoGuard is a bisulfite-converted next-generation sequencing (NGS) DNA assay performed on surface esophageal cells collected with EsoCheck. It quantifies methylation at 31 sites on two genes, Vimentin (VIM) and Cyclin A1 (CCNA1). The assay was evaluated in a 408-patient multicenter case-control study published in Science Translational Medicine and showed greater than 90% sensitivity and specificity at detecting esophageal precancer and all conditions along the BE-EAC spectrum, including on samples collected with EsoCheck (Moinova, et al. Sci Transl Med. 2018 Jan 17;10(424): eaao5848). EsoGuard is commercially available in the U.S. as a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) performed at our CLIA-certified laboratory. Cell samples, including those collected with EsoCheck, as discussed below, are sent to our laboratory, for testing and analyses using EsoGuard. 22 Overview - continued EsoCheck is an FDA 510(k) and CE Mark cleared noninvasive swallowable balloon capsule catheter device capable of sampling surface esophageal cells in a less than five-minute office. It consists of a vitamin pill-sized rigid plastic capsule tethered to a thin silicone catheter from which a soft silicone balloon with textured ridges emerges to gently swab surface esophageal cells. When vacuum suction is applied, the balloon and sampled cells are pulled into the capsule, protecting them from contamination and dilution by cells outside of the targeted region during device withdrawal. We believe this proprietary Collect+Protect™ technology makes EsoCheck the only noninvasive esophageal cell collection device capable of such anatomically targeted and protected sampling. EsoGuard and EsoCheck are based on patented technology licensed by Lucid from Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”). EsoGuard and EsoCheck have been developed to provide an accurate, non-invasive, patient-friendly test for the early detection of EAC and BE, including dysplastic BE and related precursors to EAC in patients with chronic GERD. Recent Developments Business Status of Clinical Trials Lucid is currently seeking to accelerate its collection of clinical utility data through a range of trials that can be efficiently executed. These efforts include a planned investigator-initiated, retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data on the 391 San Antonio fire fighters who underwent testing as part of a community-sponsored cancer awareness event described below (in respect of which we expect to publish results in the second half of 2023); a virtual-patient randomized controlled trial with intended recruitment of at least 100 physician participants (in respect of which we expect to publish results this year); a Lucid-sponsored multi-center, prospective, observational study with 500 patients; and a Lucid-sponsored registry at existing Lucid Test Centers, whereby all patients undergoing EsoCheck testing will be given the opportunity to provide informed consent and contribute data about their risk factors, EsoGuard results, and subsequent diagnostic and/or therapeutic journey. Both Lucid-sponsored observational/registry studies expect to have preliminary results and/or interim analysis submitted for peer review before the end of 2023. #CheckYourFoodTube Events In January 2023, Lucid completed its first #CheckYourFoodTube Precancer Testing Event, with the San Antonio Fire Department (the “SAFD”) during Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month as designated by the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF). A total of 391 members who were deemed to be at-risk for esophageal precancer, underwent a brief, on-site, noninvasive cell collection procedure, performed by our clinical personnel using EsoCheck. Firefighters with suspected esophageal precancer based on a positive EsoGuard result were identified, including some less than 40 years of age, and will undergo appropriate monitoring and treatment, as indicated by clinical practice guidelines, to prevent progression to esophageal cancer. Since then, additional testing events have been hosted with the SAFD, and similar events have been held with fire departments throughout the country. These events are ongoing and are an extension of Lucid’s satellite Lucid Test Center (“sLTC”) program, which brings Lucid precancer testing directly to patients—at their physician’s office and now at testing day events. Launch of EsoGuard #CheckYourFoodTube Mobile Testing Unit In June 2023, Lucid launched its first EsoGuard #CheckYourFoodTube Mobile Test Unit (“mobile testing unit”), with the inaugural mobile testing unit event being held in Sarasota, Florida. The mobile testing unit is another channel by which we are bringing EsoGuard testing to at-risk patients. Launch of Direct Contracting Strategic Initiative In March 2023, we launched a Direct Contracting Strategic Initiative (“DCSI”) to engage directly with large Administrative Services Only (“ASO”) self-insured employers, unions and other entities, seeking to replicate the successes of other cancer screening diagnostic companies that have deployed similar strategies. In August 2023, the company announced it had contracted with the Ancira Automotive Group as a result of this initiative, providing access to esophageal precancer testing for its employees at all 12 San Antonio locations. New Revenue Cycle Management Provider In May 2023, Lucid began to transition claims submission responsibility to a new revenue cycle management provider that offered more robust capabilities for, among other things, claims processing and appeals. The provider upgrade has been completed and claim submissions resumed in June 2023. Since completing the transition, the upgrade has demonstrated an improvement in speed of collections, turnaround time to claim submission, percentage of claims paid, and actionable data for appeals. Financing Series A Preferred Stock Offering On March 7, 2023, we entered into subscription agreements for the sale of 13,625 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 and a conversion price of $1.394. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at any time at the option of the holder from and after the six-month anniversary of its issuance (or, if later, the effective date of an increase in our authorized share capital or the effective date of a registration statement covering the resale of the underlying shares), and automatically converts into shares of our common stock on the second anniversary of its issuance. The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock also include a preference on liquidation and a right to receive dividends equal to 20% of the number of shares into which such Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, payable on each of the one-year and two-year anniversary of the issuance date. The Series A Preferred Stock is a non-voting security, other than with respect to limited matters related to changes in terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of shares in such offering were $13.625 million. 23 Private Placement - Securities Purchase Agreement Effective as of March 13, 2023, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with an accredited institutional investor, pursuant to which we agreed to sell, and the investor agreed to purchase, a Senior Secured Convertible Note with a face value principal of $11.1 million (the “March 2023 Senior Convertible Note”). We issued the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note on March 21, 2023 pursuant to the SPA. The March 2023 Senior Convertible Note proceeds were $9.925 million after deducting a $1.186 million lender fee and offering costs. The March 2023 Senior Secured Convertible Note has a 7.875% annual stated interest rate, a contractual conversion price of $5.00 per share of the Company’s common stock (subject to standard adjustments in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction), and a contractual maturity date of the two-year anniversary of the date of issuance. The principal and interest on the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note is convertible into or otherwise payable in shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to the satisfaction of certain customary equity conditions and except for interest payable prior to September 21, 2023). Under the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note, the Company is subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness and the making of investments, the payment of cash in respect of dividends, distributions or redemptions, the transfer of assets, the maturity of other indebtedness, and transactions with affiliates, among other customary matters. Under the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note, the Company is also subject to financial covenants requiring that (i) the amount of our available cash equal or exceed $5.0 million at all times, (ii) the ratio of (a) the outstanding principal amount of the notes issued under the SPA, accrued and unpaid interest thereon and accrued and unpaid late charges as of the last day of any fiscal quarter commencing with September 30, 2023 to (b) the Company’s average market capitalization over the prior ten trading days, not exceed 30%, and (iii) that the Company’s market capitalization shall at no time be less than $30 million. ATM Facility In November 2022, Lucid Diagnostics entered into an “at-the-market offering” for up to $6.5 million of its common stock that may be offered and sold under a Controlled Equity Offering Agreement between Lucid Diagnostics and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”). In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we sold 230,068 shares through our at-the-market equity facility for net proceeds of approximately $0.3 million, after payment of 3% commissions. No shares were sold through our at-the-market equity facility during the three months ended June 30, 2023. 24 Results of Operations Overview Revenue The Company recognized revenue resulting from the delivery of patient EsoGuard test results when the Company considered the collection of such consideration to be probable to the extent that it is unconstrained. Additionally, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, revenue was recognized with respect to the EsoGuard Commercialization Agreement, dated August 1, 2021, between the Company and RDx, a CLIA certified commercial laboratory service provider. On February 25, 2022, the EsoGuard Commercialization Agreement was terminated upon the execution of the APA-RDx. Cost of revenue Cost of revenues recognized from the delivery of patient EsoGuard test results includes costs related to EsoCheck device usage, shipment of test collection kits, royalties and the cost of services to process tests and provide results to physicians. We incur expenses for tests in the period in which the activities occur, therefore, gross margin as a percentage of revenue may vary from quarter to quarter due to costs being incurred in one period that relate to revenues recognized in a later period. We expect that gross margin for our services will continue to fluctuate and be affected by EsoGuard test volume, our operating efficiencies, patient compliance rates, payer mix, the levels of reimbursement, and payment patterns of payers and patients. For the previously terminated EsoGuard Commercialization Agreement in February 2022, the cost of revenue recognized is inclusive of: a royalty fee incurred under the Amended CWRU License Agreement (as defined in Note 4, Related Party Transactions , to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements); the cost of EsoCheck devices and EsoGuard mailers (cell sample shipping costs); and Lucid Test Centers operating expenses, including rent expense and supplies. Sales and marketing expenses Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for employees engaged in sales and marketing activities, as well as the portion of the MSA Fee allocated to sales and marketing expenses, which are principally costs related to PAVmed employees who are performing services for the Company. We anticipate our sales and marketing expenses will increase in the future, to the extent we expand our commercial sales and marketing operations as resources permit and insurance reimbursement coverage for our EsoGuard test expands. General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses consist primarily of professional fees for accounting, tax, audit and legal services (including those fees incurred as a result of our being a public company), consulting fees, expenses associated with obtaining and maintaining patents within our intellectual property portfolio, and certain employee costs, along with the portion of the MSA Fee (as defined in Note 4, Related Party Transactions , to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements) allocated to general and administrative expenses. We anticipate our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future to the extent our business operations grow. Furthermore, we anticipate continued expenses related to being a public company, including fees and expenses for audit, legal, regulatory, tax-related services, insurance premiums and investor relations costs associated with maintaining compliance as a public company. Research and development expenses Research and development expenses are recognized in the period they are incurred and consist principally of internal and external expenses incurred for the development of our technologies and conducting clinical trials, including: ● costs associated with regulatory filings; ● patent license fees; ● cost of laboratory supplies and acquiring, developing, and manufacturing preclinical prototypes; and ● MSA Fee allocated to research and development. We plan to incur research and development expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of our existing products as well as new innovations. Our research and development activities, including our clinical trials, are focused principally on facilitating insurer reimbursement, encouraging physician adoption and developing product improvements or extending the utility of the lead products in our pipeline, including EsoCheck and EsoGuard. 25 Results of Operations - continued Overview - continued Presentation of Dollar Amounts All dollar amounts in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are presented as dollars in millions, except for share and per share amounts.

See Note 11 , Debt, to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, for additional information with respect to the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note. Liquidity and Capital Resources Our current operational activities are principally focused on the commercialization of EsoGuard. We are pursuing commercialization across multiple sales channels, including: the communication to and education of medical practitioners and clinicians regarding EsoGuard; the establishment of Lucid Diagnostics Test Centers for the collection of cell samples using EsoCheck; the launch of the mobile testing unit; ongoing #CheckYourFoodTube testing days; and our direct contracting strategic initiative. Additionally, we are developing expanded clinical evidence to support insurance reimbursement adoption by government and private insurers. Further, as resources permit, the Company also intends to pursue development of other products and services, including EsoCure, an Esophageal Ablation Device. Our ability to generate revenue depends upon our ability to successfully advance the commercialization of EsoGuard, including significantly expanding insurance reimbursement coverage, while also completing the clinical studies, product and service development, and necessary regulatory approval thereof. There are no assurances, however, we will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources required for the long-term commercialization and development of our products and services. 29 We are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties typically faced by medical device and diagnostic companies that devote substantially all of their efforts to the commercialization of their initial product and services and ongoing research and development activities and conducting clinical trials. We experienced a net loss of approximately $27.6 million and used approximately $14.1 million of cash in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Financing activities provided $24.2 million of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2023. We ended the quarter with cash on-hand of $32.6 million as of June 30, 2023. We expect to continue to experience recurring losses and negative cash flow from operations and will continue to fund our operations with debt and equity financing transactions. Notwithstanding, however, with our cash on-hand as of the date hereof and the committed equity sources of financing described below, the Company expects to be able to fund its operations and meet its financial obligations as they become due for the one year period from the date of the issue of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as included herein in this Form 10-Q. Series A Preferred Stock Offering On March 7, 2023, we entered into subscription agreements for the sale of 13,625 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 and a conversion price of $1.394. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at any time at the option of the holder from and after the six-month anniversary of its issuance (or, if later, the effective date of an increase in our authorized share capital or the effective date of a registration statement covering the resale of the underlying shares), and automatically converts into shares of our common stock on the second anniversary of its issuance. The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock also include a preference on liquidation and a right to receive dividends equal to 20% of the number of shares into which such Series A Preferred Stock is convertible, payable on each of the one-year and two-year anniversary of the issuance date. The Series A Preferred Stock is a non-voting security, other than with respect to limited matters related to changes in terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of shares in such offering were $13.625 million. Private Placement - Securities Purchase Agreement Effective as of March 13, 2023, we entered into the SPA with an accredited institutional investor, pursuant to which we agreed to sell, and the investor agreed to purchase the March 2023 Senior Secured Convertible Note with a face value principal of $11.1 million. We issued the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note on March 21, 2023 pursuant to the SPA. The March 2023 Senior Convertible Note proceeds were $9.925 million after deducting a $1.186 million lender fee and offering costs. The March 2023 Senior Secured Convertible Note has a 7.875% annual stated interest rate, a contractual conversion price of $5.00 per share of the Company’s common stock (subject to standard adjustments in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction), and a contractual maturity date of the two-year anniversary of the date of issuance. The principal and interest on the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note is convertible into or otherwise payable in shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to the satisfaction of certain customary equity conditions and except for interest payable prior to September 21, 2023). Under the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note, the Company is subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness and the making of investments, the payment of cash in respect of dividends, distributions or redemptions, the transfer of assets, the maturity of other indebtedness, and transactions with affiliates, among other customary matters. Under the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note, the Company is also subject to financial covenants requiring that (i) the amount of our available cash equal or exceed $5.0 million at all times, (ii) the ratio of (a) the outstanding principal amount of the notes issued under the SPA, accrued and unpaid interest thereon and accrued and unpaid late charges, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter commencing with September 30, 2023 to (b) the Company’s average market capitalization over the prior ten trading days, not exceed 30%, and (iii) that the Company’s market capitalization shall at no time be less than $30 million (the “Financial Tests”). As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance, and as of the date hereof, the Company is in compliance, with the Financial Tests. 30 Committed Equity Facility and ATM Facility In March 2022, we entered into a committed equity facility with a Cantor affiliate. Under the terms of the committed equity facility, the Cantor affiliate has committed to purchase up to $50 million of our common stock from time to time at our request. While there are distinct differences, the committed equity facility is structured similarly to a traditional at-the-market equity facility, insofar as it allows us to raise primary equity capital on a periodic basis at prices based on the existing market price. Cumulatively a total of 680,263 shares of common stock of the Company were issued for net proceeds of approximately $1.8 million, after a 4% discount, as of June 30, 2023. No shares were sold through this facility during the three months ended June 30, 2023. In November 2022, Lucid Diagnostics also entered into an “at-the-market offering” for up to $6.5 million of its common stock that may be offered and sold under a Controlled Equity Offering Agreement between Lucid Diagnostics and Cantor. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we sold 230,068 shares through our at-the-market equity facility for net proceeds of approximately $0.3 million, after payment of 3% commissions. No shares were sold through our at-the-market equity facility during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Due To: PAVmed Inc. Since our inception in May 2018 through our IPO in October 2021, our operations were funded by PAVmed providing working capital cash advances and by PAVmed paying certain operating expenses on our behalf. Additionally, our daily operations have been and continue to be conducted in part by personnel employed by PAVmed, for which we incur an MSA Fee expense. The MSA Fee is charged on a monthly basis and is subject-to periodic adjustment corresponding with changes in the services provided by PAVmed personnel to the Company, with any such change in the MSA Fee being subject to approval of the Company and PAVmed boards of directors. In this regard, in May 2023, the respective companies’ boards of directors approved a seventh amendment to the MSA to increase the MSA Fee to $750 per month, effective January 1, 2023. Pursuant to the MSA, as amended by the seventh amendment, the parties agreed PAVmed may elect to receive payment of the monthly MSA Fee in cash or in shares of our common stock, with such shares valued at the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) during the final ten trading days of the applicable month (subject to a floor price of $0.70 per share). However, in no event will PAVmed be entitled to receive under the MSA, as amended, more than 7,709,836 shares of our common stock (representing 19.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of immediately prior to the execution of the sixth amendment). In addition, on November 30, 2022, PAVmed and we entered into a payroll and benefit expense reimbursement agreement (the “PBERA”). Historically, PAVmed has paid for certain payroll and benefit-related expenses in respect of our personnel on our behalf, and we have reimbursed PAVmed for the same. Pursuant to the PBERA, PAVmed will continue to pay such expenses, and we will continue to reimburse PAVmed for the same. The PBERA provides that the expenses will be reimbursed on a quarterly basis or at such other frequency as the parties may determine, in cash or, subject to approval by PAVmed’s and our boards of directors, in shares of our common stock, with such shares valued at the volume weighted average price of such stock during the final ten trading days preceding the later of the two dates on which such stock issuance is approved by PAVmed’s and our boards of directors (subject to a floor price of $0.40 per share), or in a combination of cash and shares. However, in no event will we issue any shares of our common stock to PAVmed in satisfaction of all or any portion of the expenses if the issuance of such shares of our common stock would exceed the maximum number of shares of common stock that we may issue under the rules or regulations of Nasdaq, unless we obtain the approval of our stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Nasdaq for issuances of shares of our common stock in excess of such amount. As of June 30, 2023, we had a Due To: PAVmed Inc. payment obligation liability of approximately $10.7 million, which liability is primarily comprised of our obligations under the PBERA and the MSA, as well other operating expenses paid by PAVmed on our behalf. See our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements Note 5 , Due To PAVmed Inc. Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reporting in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgements. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be appropriate under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies are as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 14, 2023, except as otherwise noted in “Fair Value Option (“FVO”) Election” subsection of Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein in this Form 10-Q with respect to the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note. We determined upon the issuance of our March 2023 Senior Convertible Note to elect the fair value option. At issuance, the carrying value of the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note was recorded at estimated fair value. The estimated fair values reported utilized Lucid’s common stock price along with certain Level 3 inputs, in the development of Monte Carlo simulation models, discounted cash flow analyses, and /or Black-Scholes valuation models. The estimated fair values are subjective and are affected by changes in inputs to the valuation models and analyses, including the Company’s common stock price, the Company’s dividend yield, the risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields, and certain other Level-3 inputs including, assumptions regarding the estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s common stock price. We remeasure the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note to its estimated fair value at each reporting period using valuation techniques similar to those applied at issuance. The change in the fair value is recognized as other income (expense) in the statement of operations. A significant change in the volatility could have a material impact to the carrying value of the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note as well as the amount of change recognized during the period. 31 Item 4. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of such date to provide reasonable assurance the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Changes to Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting There has been no change in internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internals control over financial reporting. 32 Part II - Other Information Item 1. Legal Proceedings In the ordinary course of our business, particularly as it begins commercialization of its products, the Company may be subject to certain other legal actions and claims, including product liability, consumer, commercial, tax and governmental matters, which may arise from time to time. The Company is not aware of any such pending legal or other proceedings that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company. Notwithstanding, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and an unfavorable outcome could include monetary damages, and excessive verdicts can result from litigation, and as such, could result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and /or cash flows. Additionally, although the Company has specific insurance for certain potential risks, the Company may in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims which may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and /or cash flows. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds. Except as previously disclosed in our current reports on Form 8-K, we did not sell any unregistered securities or repurchase any of our securities during the three months ended June 30, 2023. On October 14, 2021, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) of our common stock under an effective registration statement on Form S-1 (SEC File No. 333-259721). As of June 30, 2023, of the net proceeds of $64.4 million, approximately $57.5 million has been used, in a manner consistent with the use of proceeds set forth in the prospectus for our IPO, as follows: approximately $5.3 million of net repayments of Due To: PAVmed Inc.; approximately $5.0 million for the purchase of our laboratory equipment, software, and its operating expenses; and $47.2 million of working capital expenditures. None of the proceeds have been paid to any of our directors, officers, 10% stockholders, or affiliates, other than as described above. Item 5. Other Information None. Item 6.
