Overview
We are a medical technology company focused on
the development and commercialization of thin film electrode technology for continuous electroencephalogram (“cEEG”) and stereoelectrocencephalography
(“sEEG”), spinal cord stimulation, brain stimulation, drug delivery and ablation solutions for patients suffering from epilepsy,
Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, essential tremors, chronic pain due to failed back surgeries and other related neurological disorders.
We are also developing the capability to use our sEEG electrode technology to deliver drugs or gene therapy while being able to record
brain activity before, during, and after delivery. Additionally, we are investigating the potential applications of our technology associated
with artificial intelligence.
We have received 510(k) clearance for three of
our devices from the FDA, including: (i) our Evo cortical electrode technology for recording, monitoring, and stimulating brain tissue
for up to 30 days, (ii) our Evo sEEG electrode technology for temporary (less than 30 days) use with recording, monitoring, and stimulation
equipment for the recording, monitoring, and stimulation of electrical signals at the subsurface level of the brain, and (iii) our OneRF
ablation system for creation of radiofrequency lesions in nervous tissue for functional neurosurgical procedures. Our other products are
still under development. We distribute each of these three devices with Zimmer Biomet.
We have incurred mostly losses since inception.
As of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $75.5 million, primarily as a result of expenses incurred in connection with our
research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses associated with our operations and interest expense, fair value
adjustments and loss on extinguishments related to our debt, offset in part by license and product revenues.
Prior to FDA clearance of certain of our products,
our main sources of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were proceeds from the issuances of notes, common stock, warrants
and unsecured loans. See “ Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Resources ” below. While we have begun
to generate revenue from the sale of products based on our cEEG and sEEG technology, and OneRF System, and through milestone and other
payments from our current collaboration and distribution arrangement with Zimmer, we expect to continue to incur significant expenses
and may incur increasing operating and net losses for the foreseeable future until we generate a higher level of revenue from commercial
sales.

510(k) Submission for Trigeminal Facial Pain
On April 22, 2025, we filed a 510(k) submission
to the FDA for our OneRF® Trigeminal Nerve Ablation System to treat facial pain.
April
2025 Financing
On April
4, 2025, we entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. as
underwriter (the “Underwriter”), relating to the issuance and sale of 16,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock,
at a price to the public of $0.50 per share (the “April 2025 Financing”). In addition, under the terms of the Underwriting
Agreement, we granted the Underwriter an option, exercisable for 45 days, to purchase up to an additional 2,400,000 shares of common stock
on the same terms as the offering, which was exercised in full. Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $8.2 million.
Zimmer Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement
On October 25, 2024, we entered into the Zimmer
Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Zimmer, Inc. (“Zimmer”) pursuant to which we
granted Zimmer the exclusive right and license to distribute our OneRF Ablation System for an upfront payment of $3.0 million, with eligibility
for an additional $1.0 million payment from Zimmer upon achievement of certain specified net sales milestones.
We previously entered into an Exclusive Development
and Distribution Agreement dated July 20, 2020 with Zimmer, related to the sEEG and Strip/Grid Product Systems, which was subsequently
amended pursuant to the terms and conditions of a letter agreement dated January 6, 2021, a Second Amendment to Exclusive Development
and Distribution Agreement dated June 28, 2022, and a Third Amendment to Exclusive Development and Distribution Agreement dated August
2, 2022 (collectively, the “EDDA”).The EDDAs executed prior to the Amendment granted Zimmer exclusive global rights to distribute
the Strip/Grid Products and the Electrode Cable Assembly Products. Additionally, we granted Zimmer the exclusive right and license to
distribute certain sEEG Products developed by the Company and together with the Strip/Grid Products and Electrode Cable Assembly Products,
the “Products”. In addition, under the prior EDDAs, we agreed to collaborate with respect to development activities through
a joint development committee composed of an equal number of representatives of Zimmer and the Company.
Under the Amendment, Zimmer paid us $3.0 million
for an exclusive RF Distribution License (the “RF Distribution License” and “License”) for commercialization of
its OneRF™ product. In addition, we are eligible to receive a future milestone payment of $1.0 million upon reaching a one-time
sales volume threshold.
The revised term under the Amendment (the “Term”)
began on the Effective Date and will remain in effect until October 31, 2034. Upon the expiration of the Term, it may be renewed upon
the mutual written of the Parties. The Amended and Restated Exclusive Development and Distribution Agreement may be terminated before
the expiration of the Term only by the Parties in accordance with certain terms under the Amendment. In addition, the license rights granted
to Zimmer under this Amendment shall be exclusive (i) from the Original Effective Date until September 30, 2032 for the sEEG Products
and Strip/Grid Products (the “sEEG and Strip/Grid Product Term”); and (ii) from the Effective Date until October 31, 2034
for the OneRF™ Product System (the “RF Term”).
Global Economic Conditions
Generally, worldwide economic conditions remain
uncertain, particularly due to the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, disruptions in the banking system and
financial markets, and increased inflation. The general economic and capital market conditions both in the U.S. and worldwide, have been
volatile in the past and at times have adversely affected our access to capital and increased the cost of capital. The capital and credit
markets may not be available to support future capital raising activity on favorable terms or at all. If economic conditions continue
to decline, our future cost of equity or debt capital and access to the capital markets could be adversely affected. We do not currently
anticipate any meaningful impact from current or proposed tariffs on imported goods.
24
NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation
Form 10-Q
Our operating results could be materially impacted
by changes in the overall macroeconomic environment and other economic factors. Changes in economic conditions, supply chain constraints,
logistics challenges, labor shortages, increased inflation, the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, disruptions in the banking system
and financial markets, and steps taken by governments and central banks, have led to higher inflation, which has led to an increase in
costs and has caused changes in fiscal and monetary policy, including increased interest rates.
Financial Overview
Product Revenue
Our product revenue was derived from the sale
of our Strip/Grid Products, the sEEG Products and the Electrode Cable Assembly Products based on Evo cortical electrode technology and
the OneRF Products, which are products based on our OneRF Ablation System. We anticipate that we will generate additional revenue from
the sale of products based on Evo cortical electrode technology and our OneRF Ablation System.
We have received FDA 510(k) clearance for our
cortical electrode for temporary (less than 30 days) recording, monitoring, and stimulation on the surface of the brain, our Evo sEEG
electrode technology for temporary (less than 30 days) use with recording, monitoring, and stimulation equipment for the recording, monitoring,
and stimulation of electrical signals at the subsurface level of the brain, and our OneRF Ablation System for creation of radiofrequency
lesions in nervous tissue for functional neurosurgical procedure.
Product Gross Profit
Product gross profit represents our product revenue
less our cost of product revenue. Our cost of product revenue consists of the manufacturing and materials costs incurred by our third-party
contract manufacturers in connection with our Strip/Grid Products, sEEG Products, OneRF Products and outside supplier materials costs
of producing the Electrode Cable Assembly Products. In addition, the cost of product revenue includes royalty fees incurred in connection
with our license agreements.
License Revenue
The Company determined that the RF Distribution
License granted under the Zimmer Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement represented functional intellectual property given Zimmer’s
access to the underlying intellectual property associated with the OneRF Product. As such, the revenue related to the license was recognized
at the point in time in which the license/know-how was delivered to Zimmer which occurred in October 2024. Revenue recognized under
the Amendment during the six months ending March 31, 2025 was $3.0 million. For further discussion about the determination of license
revenue, product revenue and cost of product revenue, and for a discussion of milestones and royalty payments under the Amended and Restated
Zimmer Distribution Agreement, see “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Liquidity Outlook” below and see “Note
7 — Zimmer Distribution Agreement and Other Product Revenue” included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part
1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist
primarily of personnel-related costs including stock-based compensation for personnel in functions not directly associated with research
and development activities. Other significant costs include legal and litigation costs relating to corporate matters, intellectual property
costs, professional fees for consultants assisting with financial and administrative matters, and sales and marketing in connection with
the commercial sale of cEEG strip/grid, sEEG depth electrode, OneRF ablation system and electrode cable assembly products. We anticipate
that our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in the future to support our continued research and development activities,
further commercialization of our cortical strip and grid technology, ablation system and our depth electrode technology, and the increased
costs of operating as a public company. These increases will include increased costs related to the hiring of additional personnel and
fees for legal and professional services, as well as other public company-related costs.

incurred in performing research and development activities in developing our technology. Research and development expenses include compensation
and benefits for research and development employees including stock-based compensation, overhead expenses, laboratory supplies, clinical
trial and related clinical manufacturing expenses, costs related to regulatory operations, fees paid to consultants and other outside
expenses. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and costs incurred by third parties are expensed as the contracted work
is performed.
Fair Value Change in Warrant Liability
The net change in the fair value line item is
attributed to the warrant liability while outstanding.
Financing Costs
Financing costs consists of the amortization of
the deferred issuance costs and other lending costs in connection with the debt facility (as described further below).

Product Revenue and Product Gross Profit
Product revenue was $1.4 million during the three
months ended March 31, 2025 with a gross profit and gross profit percentage of $0.8 million and 55.6%, respectively. Product revenue was
$1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 with a gross profit and gross profit percentage of $0.4 million and 28.3%, respectively.
The increase in gross profit percentage during the current period was largely due to the higher margin OneRF Products being sold in the
current period under the Amendment with Zimmer. Product revenue consisted of Strip/Grid Products, sEEG Products, Electrode Cable Assembly
Products, and for the current three-month period, OneRF Product sales. The cost of product revenue consisted of the manufacturing and
materials costs incurred by our third-party contract manufacturers in connection with our Strip/Grid Products, sEEG Products and OneRF
Products, and outside supplier materials costs in connection with the Electrode Cable Assembly. In addition, cost of product revenue included
royalty fees incurred of approximately $38,000 and $42,000 in connection with our license agreements during the three months ended March
31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$1.9 million and $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The $0.1 million expense decrease in
the current quarter over the comparable prior year quarter was largely attributed to lower administrative payroll and stock-based compensation
of $0.1 million, lower legal costs of $0.1 million and lower public company costs of $0.1 million, partially offset by higher professional
services and marketing expenses of $0.2 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses included $0.2 million and $0.3 million of
stock-based compensation during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $1.5 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The $0.2 million increase
in the current period over the prior year period was attributed largely to the timing of product development activities in the current
quarter when compared to the comparable prior year quarter. Research and development expenses primarily included salary-related expenses
and costs related to consulting services, materials and supplies associated with the development of sEEG Products and to a much lesser
extent Strip/Grid Products. Research and development expenses included $55,000 and $76,000 of stock-based compensation during the three
months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Fair Value Change
in Warrant Liability
The net change in fair
value of the warrant liability during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.4 million benefit. The change was due primarily to
fluctuations in our common stock fair value. There were no warrants outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that were
measured on a fair value basis.
Other Income
Other income during the three months ended March
31, 2025 and 2024 related to interest income on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in the amount of $19,000 and $31,000,
respectively.

Product Revenue and Product Gross Profit
Product revenue was $4.7 million during the six
months ended March 31, 2025 with a gross profit and gross profit percentage of $2.7 million and 57.9%, respectively. Product revenue was
$2.4 million during the six months ended March 31, 2024 with a gross profit and gross profit percentage of $0.7 million and 27.9%, respectively.
The increase in gross profit percentage during the current period was largely due to higher margin OneRF Products being sold in the current
period under the Amendment with Zimmer. Product revenue consisted of Strip/Grid Products, sEEG Products, Electrode Cable Assembly Products,
and for the current six-month period, OneRF Product sales. The cost of product revenue consisted of the manufacturing and materials costs
incurred by our third-party contract manufacturers in connection with our Strip/Grid Products, sEEG Products and OneRF Products, and outside
supplier materials costs in connection with the Electrode Cable Assembly Products. In addition, cost of product revenue included royalty
fees incurred of approximately $75,000 and $79,000 in connection with our license agreements during the six months ended March 31, 2025
and 2024, respectively.
License Revenue
License revenue was $3.0 million for the six months
ended March 31, 2025. License revenue during the current period related to the distribution license granted to Zimmer for the OneRF Product
in October 2024. No license revenue was generated from the Amended and Restated Zimmer Development Agreement during the six months ended
March 31, 2024.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$4.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $4.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024. The $0.2 million
decrease in the current six-month period compared to the comparable prior year period was primarily due to lower administrative payroll
of $0.1 million, lower legal costs of $0.2 million, lower public company costs of $0.3 million, offset by higher professional fees of
$0.3 million and facility costs and other general operating expenses of $0.1 million on a net basis. Selling, general and administrative
expenses included $0.5 million of stock-based compensation during each of the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $2.7 million
for the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $2.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024. The $0.1 million decrease period
over period was attributed to the timing and an overall reduction in OneRF Product development activities during the current six-month
period when compared to the comparable prior year period. Research and development primarily included salary-related expenses and costs
related to consulting services, materials and supplies associated with the development of sEEG Products and to a much lesser extent Strip/Grid
Products. Research and development expenses included $0.1 million of stock-based compensation during each of the six months ended March
31, 2025 and 2024.
Fair Value Change
in Warrant Liability
The net change in fair
value of the warrant liability during the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.8 million. The change was due primarily to fluctuations
in our common stock fair value. There were no warrants outstanding during the six months ended March 31, 2024 that were measured on a
fair value basis.
Financing Costs
Financing costs during
the six months ended March 31, 2025 consisted of the amortization of the deferred issuance costs associated with the debt facility (described
further below) in the amount of $0.2 million and additional legal and loan facility termination costs of $0.1 million upon the termination
of the Debt Facility in November 2024. We did not incur any financing costs during the six months ended March 31, 2024.
Other Income
Other income during the six months ended March
31, 2025 and 2024 consisted of $28,000 and $77,000 related to interest income attributed to our cash and cash equivalents, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of March 31, 2025, our principal source of
liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents in the aggregate of approximately $1.3 million. Subsequently, on April 7, 2025, we received
net proceeds of approximately $8.2 million from the April 2025 Financing.
29
NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation
Form 10-Q
Capital Resources
Our sources of cash and cash equivalents to date
have been limited to license, collaboration and product revenues, along with proceeds from the issuances of notes with warrants, common
stock with and without warrants and unsecured loans with the terms of our more recent financings described below.
April
2025 Financing
On April
4, 2025, we entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. as
underwriter (the “Underwriter”), relating to the issuance and sale of 16,000,000 shares of our common stock, at a price to
the public of $0.50 (the “April 2025 Financing”). In addition, under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, we granted the
Underwriter an option, exercisable for 45 days, to purchase up to an additional 2,400,000 shares of common stock on the same terms as
the offering, which was exercised in full. Issuance costs in connection with the April 2025 Financing amounted to approximately $1.0 million
which included a 7.0% commission to the Underwriter and legal and other expenses in the amount of $0.3 million. The Company received approximately
$8.2 million in net proceeds.
August 2024 Private Placement
On August 1, 2024, we entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreement with certain Purchasers, pursuant to which we, in a private placement, agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of
(i) 2,944,446 shares of our Company’s common stock (the “Shares”), par value $0.001 per share and (ii) warrants to purchase
an aggregate of 2,208,333 shares of common stock (the “PIPE Warrants”) at a purchase price of $0.90 per unit, consisting of
one share and a PIPE Warrant to purchase 0.75 shares of common stock, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $2.65 million
before deducting estimated expenses. The 2024 Private Placement closed on August 2, 2024. Issuance costs attributed to the 2024 Private
Placement amounted to $0.2 million.
The PIPE Warrants are exercisable beginning on
the date of issuance, have an exercise price of $1.19 per share, subject to adjustment, and will expire on the third anniversary of the
date of issuance .
In connection with the 2024 Private Placement,
we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the Shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon
exercise of the PIPE Warrants which became effective on September 13, 2024.
At-The-Market Offering
On December 21, 2022, we entered into a Capital
on Demand TM Sales Agreement (“Sales Agreement”) with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC (“JonesTrading”)
to create an at-the-market offering program (“ATM”) under which we may offer and sell shares having an aggregate offering
price of up to $14.5 million. JonesTrading is entitled to a commission at a fixed commission rate of up to 3% of the gross proceeds. On
July 24, 2023, we decreased the amount of common stock that can be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement, such that we were offering up
to an aggregate of $2.6 million of our common stock for sale under the Sales Agreement, including the shares of our common stock previously
sold. Subsequently, on December 1, 2023, however, we increased the amount of common stock that can be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement,
such that we were offering up to an aggregate of $4.8 million of our common stock for sale under the Sales Agreement, including the shares
of our common stock previously sold. On January 5, 2024, we further increased the amount of common stock that can be sold pursuant
to the Sales Agreement, such that we are offering up to an aggregate of $9.3 million of our common stock for sale under the Sales Agreement,
including the shares of common stock previously sold. Through March 31, 2025, we have issued 5,544,489 shares of common stock under the
ATM for gross proceeds in the amount of $8.0 million. We incurred issuance costs in connection with the ATM in the amount of $0.6 million
through March 31, 2025. On August 16, 2024, we increased the amount of common stock that can be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement by
$3.0 million. On April 3, 2025, we decreased the amount of common stock that can be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement to zero.
Debt Facility Financing
On August 2, 2024, we entered into the Debt
Facility Agreement with Growth Opportunity Funding, LLC, as the Lender, which provided for a delayed draw term loan facility in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $3.0 million. We were permitted to borrow loans under the Debt Facility Agreement from time
to time, for general corporate purposes and subject to certain specified conditions, until the earliest of: (i) November 30, 2024,
(ii) the occurrence of any Monetization Event as defined in the Debt Facility Agreement or a change of control, or (iii) at the
Lender’s option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the Debt Facility Agreement. On
November 7, 2024, the Company terminated the Debt Facility Agreement, and no amounts were drawn under the Debt Facility
Agreement. Total costs incurred under the debt facility financing was $0.4 million.

Funding Requirements
Certain of our cash requirements relate to the
funding of our ongoing product development and commercialization operations and our milestone and royalty obligations under our intellectual
property licenses with WARF and Mayo. See “Part 1, Item 1—Business—Clinical Development and Regulatory Pathway—Clinical
Experience, Future Development and Clinical Trial Plans” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024
for a discussion of design, development, pre-clinical and clinical activities that we may conduct in the future, including expected cash
expenditures required for some of those activities, to the extent we are able to estimate such costs.
On January 21, 2020, we entered into an Amended
and Restated License Agreement (the “WARF License”) with WARF, which amended and restated in full our prior license agreement
with WARF, dated October 1, 2014. Under the WARF License, we have agreed to pay WARF a royalty equal to a single-digit percentage of our
product sales pursuant to the WARF License, with a minimum annual royalty payment of $50,000 for 2020, $100,000 for 2021 and $150,000
for 2022 and each calendar year thereafter that the WARF License is in effect. If we or any of our sublicensees contest the validity of
any licensed patent, the royalty rate will be doubled during the pendency of such contest and, if the contested patent is found to be
valid and would be infringed by us if not for the WARF License, the royalty rate will be tripled for the remaining term of the WARF License.
Under the Amended and Restated License and Development
Agreement with Mayo (the “Mayo Development Agreement”), we have agreed to pay Mayo a royalty equal to a single-digit percentage
of our product sales pursuant to the Mayo Development Agreement. See “Note 4 – Commitments and Contingencies” included
in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report for more information
about the WARF License and the Mayo Development Agreement.
Our other cash requirements within the next twelve
months include accounts payable, accrued expenses, purchase commitments and other current liabilities. Our other cash requirements greater
than twelve months from various contractual obligations and commitments include operating leases and contracted services. Refer to “Note
4 – Commitments and Contingencies” included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 –
Financial Statements” in this Report for further detail of our lease obligations and the timing of expected future payments. Contracted
services include agreements with third-party service providers for clinical research, product development, manufacturing, supplies, payroll
services, equipment maintenance services, and audits for periods up to fiscal year 2027.
We expect to satisfy our short-term and long-term
obligations through cash on hand and revenue from commercial sales to cover expenses.
Liquidity Outlook
For a discussion of potential fee payments under
the Amended and Restated Zimmer Development Agreement, see “Note 7 — Zimmer Distribution Agreement and Other Product Revenue”
included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report. Even
though we have received regulatory clearance to expand the use of our Evo sEEG electrode technology for up to 30 days, commercial sales
of the sEEG electrodes and OneRF Products are expected to take some time to be a significant source of liquidity. Zimmer has exclusive
global rights to distribute our strip and grid cortical electrodes, depth electrodes and electrode cable assembly products. Zimmer’s
failure to timely develop or commercialize these products would have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.
On October 2024, we entered into an Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement with Zimmer to provide Zimmer with the exclusive right
and license to distribute also our OneRF Ablation System for an upfront payment of $3.0 million, with eligibility for an additional $1.0
million payment from Zimmer upon achievement of certain specified net sales milestones.
At March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash
equivalents in the aggregate of approximately $1.3 million. Subsequently, on April 7, 2025, we received net proceeds of
approximately $8.2 million from the April 2025 Financing. Our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory
paragraph in the report on our financial statements as of and for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, noting
the existence of substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We believe our current available cash and cash
equivalents inclusive of the April 2025 Financing, coupled with the anticipated increase in product revenues from minimum purchases
and improved gross margins under the Zimmer Amendment and forecasted operating expense reductions, will be sufficient to fund our
planned expenditures and meet our obligations for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial
statements.

In the future, however, in the absence of an adequate
level of commercial sales to cover expenses, we may need to secure additional funding through public or private equity or debt financings,
through collaborations or partnerships with other companies or other sources. We may not be able to raise additional capital on terms
acceptable to us, or at all. Any failure to raise capital when needed could compromise our ability to execute on our business plan. If
we are unable to raise additional funds, or if our anticipated operating results are not achieved, we believe planned expenditures may
need to be reduced in order to extend the time period that existing resources can fund our operations. If we are unable to obtain the
necessary capital in the future from operating results or future financing, it may have a material adverse effect on our operations and
the development of our technology, or we may have to cease operations altogether.
The development and commercialization of our cortical
strip, grid electrode, depth electrode, ablation system technology and future products and technology is subject to numerous uncertainties,
and we could use our cash and cash equivalent resources sooner than we expect. Additionally, the process of developing medical devices
is costly, and the timing of progress in pre-clinical tests and clinical trials is uncertain. Our ability to successfully transition to
profitability will be dependent upon achieving further regulatory approvals and achieving a level of product sales adequate to support
our cost structure. We cannot assure you that we will ever be profitable or generate positive cash flow from operating activities.
Cash Flows
The following is a summary of cash flows for each
of the periods set forth below.

Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents
$ (139,791 )
$ (2,887,838 )
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was
$152,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, which consisted of a net loss of $0.5 million partially offset by non-cash stock-based
compensation, depreciation, amortization related to intangible assets, a fair value change in warrant liability and operating lease expense,
totaling approximately $0.2 million in the aggregate. Our net loss was further adjusted to account for the reclassification of debt termination
costs to financing activities in the amount of $0.1 million. The net change in our net operating assets and liabilities associated with
fluctuations in our operating activities resulted in a cash source of approximately $0.3 million. The net cash source stemming from the
change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily attributable to both a decrease in inventory and prepaid expenses, partially
offset by a net decrease in our aggregate accrued expenses, other liabilities and accounts payable as well as by an increase in our accounts
receivable attributed to the timing of payments.
Net cash used in operating activities was
$6.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024, which consisted of a net loss of $6.2 million partially offset principally by
non-cash stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization related to intangible assets, operating lease expense, totaling
approximately $0.8 million in the aggregate. The net change in our net operating assets and liabilities associated with fluctuations
in our operating activities resulted in a cash use of approximately $0.6 million. The net cash use stemming from the change in
operating assets and liabilities was primarily attributable to both an increase in our accounts receivable and prepaid expense as
well as attributed to a net decrease in our accrued expenses and other liabilities. Partially offsetting the net cash used for the
period was the reduction in inventory purchases and increase in our account payable attributed to the timing of payments.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These accounting principles require us to make estimates and judgments that can affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenue and
expense during the periods presented. We believe that the estimates and judgments upon which we rely are reasonably based upon information
available to us at the time that we make these estimates and judgments. To the extent that there are material differences between these
estimates and actual results, our financial results will be affected. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates
and judgments and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are
described in “Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our condensed financial statements included in
“Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report.
Of these policies, the following are considered
critical to an understanding of our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements”
in this Report as they require the application of the most subjective and the most complex judgments:
Revenues:
For discussion about the determination of license
revenue and product revenue, see “Note 7 — Zimmer Distribution Agreement and Other Product Revenue” included in our
condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report. To date, we have
not had, nor expect to have in the future, significant variable consideration adjustments related to product revenue, such as chargebacks,
sales allowances and sales returns.
Stock-based Compensation
For discussions about the application of grant
date fair value associated with our stock-based compensation, see “Note 8 — Stock-Based Compensation” included in our
condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report.

Fair Value of Warrant liability
We issued warrants in connection with our
August 2024 Private Placement. The warrants were classified as a liability on our balance sheet and were recorded at fair value as certain
provisions precluded equity accounting treatment for these instruments. We will continue to adjust the liabilities for changes in fair
value until the earlier of the exercise, expiration, or until such time that cash settlement or indexation provisions are no longer in
effect for the warrants. For discussions about the application of fair value associated with the warrants, see “Note 12 –
Stockholders’ Equity” included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report.
Income Tax Assets and Liabilities
Income tax assets and liabilities include income
tax valuation allowances. For additional information, see “Note 10 — Income Taxes” included in our condensed financial
statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report and “Note 12 – Income Taxes”
in “Part II, Item 8 - Financial Statements” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024.
Contingencies
We are subject to numerous contingencies arising
in the ordinary course of business, including legal contingencies. For additional information, see “Note 4 — Commitments
and Contingencies” included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements”
in this Report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to “Note 3— Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies” to our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements”
in this Report for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.
