Evaluation
of Controls and Procedures
Our
management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (who is our Principal
Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (who is our Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer), of the
effectiveness of the design of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of
December 31, 2021, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and
Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2021 to provide reasonable
assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated
and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Inherent
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
It
should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance
that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions
about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only reasonable assurance
that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule
13a-15(d) during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting. The change was to remediate and eliminate our previously disclosed material weakness over
reporting of complex financial transactions. Management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does
not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error
and all fraud. Controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving
their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and
procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities
that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls
can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there
can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures.
Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Under the supervision and
with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an
evaluation as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment,
our management used the criteria for effective internal control set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, our management concluded that our internal
control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021.
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal
control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered
public accounting firm pursuant to a permanent exemption of the Commission that permits the Company to provide only management’s
report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 has not been audited by our auditors, Marcum LLP.

A. Berman Robert Berman has served as our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors since April of 2018.
Mr. Berman has over 25 years of experience in a broad variety of areas including healthcare, finance, acquisitions, marketing, compliance,
turnarounds, and the development and licensing of emerging technologies. From September 2012 until July 2017, he served as the President,
Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Board of Directors of ITUS Corporation (now called Anixa Biosciences), which at the time
he joined the company was a developer of flat panel display technologies, and under his leadership became a Nasdaq listed cancer therapeutics
company. From 2000 to March 2007, Mr. Berman was the Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel of Acacia Research Corporation, where
he successfully transitioned the company from being an incubator of internet startups into a preeminent, publicly traded company for
licensing and enforcing patented technologies with a market cap exceeding $2 billion. Mr. Berman started his career at the law firm of
Blank Rome. Mr. Berman has a B.S. in Entrepreneurial Management from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and holds a
J.D. from the Northwestern University School of Law, where he is an adjunct faculty member. We believe that Mr. Berman is qualified to
serve as a member of our board of directors because of his experience in a broad variety of areas including healthcare, finance, acquisitions,
marketing, compliance, turnarounds, and the development and licensing of emerging technologies.
Dr.
Francis Duhay has served as member of our board of directors since October 2018. A trained cardiac and thoracic surgeon, Dr.
Duhay has served the President and Chief Operating officer of Aegis Surgical Inc. and Atrius Inc., makers of cardiac accessory devices,
since 2016, and as a Partner in K5_Ventures, an early stage venture fund since 2017. Dr. Duhay is the former Chief Medical Officer at
Edwards Life Sciences, a world leader in heart valve products, where he led medical and clinical affairs for transcatheter and surgical
heart valves. During his tenure at Edwards Life Sciences, from 2008 to 2016, Dr. Duhay led the preparation and submission, and ultimate
regulatory approval, of two FDA Premarket Approval (PMA) applications for transcatheter and surgical heart valve therapies and was responsible
for the design and execution of the applicable clinical trials. From April 2008 to October 2011, Dr. Duhay was also the Vice President
and General Manager of the Ascendra™ transcatheter heart valve business unit at Edwards, where he grew the unit from sixteen to
eighty employees and contributed to annual growth in sales from $3 million to $250 million. From 1998 to 2003, Dr. Duhay served as the
Chief of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Cardiology at Kaiser Permanente. Dr. Duhay has also served as an industry representative
and clinical expert, and a member of the working group for ISO 5840, the international quality standard for the design, development,
and testing of heart valves. Dr. Duhay received his MBA from the University of Hawaii - Shidler College of Business and received his
board certification for Cardiothoracic Surgery and General Surgery from the Duke University School of Medicine and from the University
of California, San Francisco, respectively. We believe that Dr. Duhay is qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors because
he is a trained cardiac and thoracic surgeon and former Chief Medical Officer at Edwards Life Sciences.
35
Dr.
Sanjay Shrivastava has served as a member of our board of directors since October 2018. He has been involved in developing, commercializing,
evaluating, and acquiring medical devices for more than 21 years, including serving in leadership positions in research and development,
business development, and marketing at J&J, BTG, plc, Medtronic, Abbott Vascular, and Edwards Life Sciences. He is presently serving
as the chief executive officer at Innova Vascular, Inc., a medical device company funded largely via an investment from a publicly traded
medical device company. Prior to this, he co-founded BlackSwan Vascular, Inc., which is a clinical stage medical device company and where
he serves on the board of directors. He led the strategic alliance for BlackSwan with Sirtex Medical, which was announced in 2020. Dr.
Shrivastava worked on several acquisition and investment deals during his roles as a senior director, business development at J&J
and a vice president, upstream marketing and strategy at BTG, a medical device and specialty pharmaceutical company with annual revenue
of about $800 million. At Medtronic, Dr. Shrivastava was the Director of Global Marketing for the Cardiac and Vascular Group where he
helped build the embolization business, from its initiation to a substantial revenue with a very high CAGR over a period of six years.
Dr. Shrivastava was a Manager of Research and Development for the peripheral vascular business at Abbott Vascular and a Principal Research
and Development Engineer for Trans-Catheter heart valves at Edwards Life Sciences. Dr. Shrivastava received his Bachelor of Science in
engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology and a doctorate degree in materials science and engineering from the University of
Florida. We believe that Dr. Shrivastava is qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors because of having served in Chief
Executive Officer and board of director positions at several medical device start-ups, and leadership positions in research and development,
business development, and marketing at Innova Vascular, Inc., BTG, Medtronic, Abbott Vascular, and Edwards Life Sciences.

in Residence at Warburg Pincus (September 2005 to March 2006). Mr. Jenusaitis has an MBA from the University of California, Irvine, a
Masters Degree in Biomedical Engineering from Arizona State University, and a Bachelors Degree in Chemical Engineering from Cornell University.
We believe that Mr. Jenusaitis is qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors because of over 30 years of health care experience
with an emphasis on building and selling companies that develop medical devices to treat vascular diseases and his prior board experiences.
Robert
C. Gray has served as a member of our board of directors since September 2019. He had a 20-year career at Highmark, Inc., one
of America’s largest health insurance organizations, which serves over 20 million subscribers, and includes Highmark Blue Cross
Blue Shield Pennsylvania, Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Delaware, and Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield West Virginia, which he retired
from in 2008. While at Highmark, Mr. Gray helped increase revenues to $12.3 billion from $6.9 billion, and helped generate an operating
gain of $375 million from an operating loss of $91 million. In addition to being the board chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President
of several of Highmark’s subsidiaries and affiliated companies, Mr. Gray was the Chief Financial Officer of Highmark’s parent
company and was the primary contact to Highmark’s board of directors for Highmark’s audit, investment and compensation (incentive
plans) committees. His many responsibilities at Highmark included rate setting and reimbursement negotiations. Following Highmark, Mr.
Gray co-founded U.S. Holdings LLC (U.S. Implants LLC.), a national distributor of orthopedic implants, and has served as Vice President
since 2009. Since 2011, Mr. Gray has also been self-employed as a strategy and financial consultant. Mr. Gray engaged in Postgraduate
Studies at the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill and has an undergraduate degree from Bucknell University. We believe that
Mr. Gray is qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors because of his financial and medical reimbursement expertise having
served as the Chief Financial Officer at Highmark, Inc., one of America’s largest health insurance organization.
Marc
H. Glickman, M.D. has served as our Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer since May 2016 and served as member of our
board of directors from July 2016 to August 2017. In 1981, Dr. Glickman started a vascular practice in Norfolk, Virginia. He established

Family
Relationships
There
are no arrangements between our directors and any other person pursuant to which our directors were nominated or elected for their positions.
There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers.
Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and ten percent stockholders to file initial reports of ownership
and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock with the Commission. Directors, executive officers and ten percent stockholders
are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based upon a review of these filings, we believe
that all required Section 16(a) reports were made on a timely basis during fiscal year 2021.
Board
Composition
Our
business and affairs are organized under the direction of our board of directors, which currently consists of five members. Our directors
hold office until the earlier of their death, incapacity, removal or resignation, or until their successors have been elected and qualified.
Our board of directors does not have a formal policy on whether the roles of a Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our board of directors
should be separate. The primary responsibilities of our board of directors are to provide oversight, strategic guidance, counseling and
direction to our management. Our board of directors meets on a regular basis. Our bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors
may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors.
We
have no formal policy regarding board diversity. Our priority in selection of board members is identification of members who will further
the interests of our stockholders through his or her established record of professional accomplishment, the ability to contribute positively
to the collaborative culture among board members, knowledge of our business and understanding of the competitive landscape.
Our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation divides our board of directors into three classes, with staggered three-year terms,
as follows:
Class
I Directors (serving until the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until their earlier death, disability, resignation or removal):
Dr.
Francis Duhay* and Dr. Sanjay Shrivastava*
Class
II Directors (serving until the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until their earlier death, disability, resignation or removal) :
Matthew
M. Jenusaitis*, Robert A. Berman
Class
III Director (serving until the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until his earlier death, disability, resignation or removal) :
Robert
C. Gray*
(*)
Independent Director.
At
each annual meeting of stockholders to be held after the initial classification, the successors to directors whose terms then expire
will serve until the third annual meeting following their election and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The authorized
size of our board of directors is currently five members. The authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the
board of directors. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed between the
three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. This classification of the board
of directors may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in our control or management. Our directors may be removed for cause
by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of our voting stock.
37
Director
Independence
The
Nasdaq Marketplace Rules require a majority of a listed company’s board of directors to be comprised of independent directors within
one year of listing. In addition, the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed
company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent and that audit committee members
also satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.
Under
Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion
of our board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in
carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act,
a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the
board of directors, or any other board committee, accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee
from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.
Our
board of directors has reviewed the composition of our board of directors and its committees and the independence of each director. Based
upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, including family
relationships, our board of directors has determined that each of Dr. Duhay, Mr. Gray, Mr. Jenusaitis and Dr. Shrivastava is an “independent
director” as defined under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Our board of directors also determined that Mr. Gray,
Mr. Jenusaitis and Dr. Shrivastava will serve on our audit committee, Mr. Gray and Mr. Jenusaitis and Dr. Shrivastava will serve on our
compensation committee, and Dr. Duhay, Mr. Jenusaitis and Dr. Shrivastava will serve on our nominating and corporate governance committee,
and that each of the committees satisfy the independence standards for such committees established by the SEC and the Nasdaq Marketplace
Rules, as applicable. In making such determinations, our board of directors considered the relationships that each such non-employee
director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining independence,
including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director.
Meetings
of the Board and Stockholders
Our
board of directors met in person and telephonically seven times during 2021 and also acted by unanimous written consent. There were four
Audit Committee meetings, two Compensation meetings and one Nominating and Corporate Governance meeting held in 2021. Our board of directors
had 100% attendance for the Annual Meeting that was held on November 30, 2021. It is our policy that all directors must attend all stockholder
meetings, barring extenuating circumstances.
38
Board
Committees
Our
board of directors has established three standing committees—audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance—each
of which operates under a charter that has been approved by our board of directors. Copies of each committee’s charter are posted
on the Investors section of our website, which is located at www.envvenojaffe.com. Each committee has the composition and responsibilities
described below. Our board of directors may from time to time establish other committees.
Audit
Committee
Our
audit committee consists of Mr. Gray, who is the chair of the audit committee, Mr. Jenusaitis and Dr. Shrivastava. Our board of directors
has determined that each of the members of our audit committee satisfies the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and SEC independence requirements.
The functions of this committee include, among other things:
●
evaluating
the performance, independence and qualifications of our independent auditors and determining whether to retain our existing independent
auditors or engage new independent auditors;
●
reviewing
and approving the engagement of our independent auditors to perform audit services and any permissible non-audit services;
●
reviewing
our annual and quarterly financial statements and reports, including the disclosures contained under the caption “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and discussing the statements and reports with our
independent auditors and management;
●
reviewing
with our independent auditors and management significant issues that arise regarding accounting principles and financial statement
presentation and matters concerning the scope, adequacy and effectiveness of our financial controls;
●
reviewing
our major financial risk exposures, including the guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and risk
management is implemented; and
●
reviewing
and evaluating on an annual basis the performance of the audit committee, including compliance of the audit committee with its charter.
Our
board of directors has determined that Mr. Gray qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of
applicable SEC regulations and meets the financial sophistication requirements of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Both our independent
registered public accounting firm and management periodically meet privately with our audit committee.
39
Compensation
Committee
Our
compensation committee consists of Dr. Shrivastava, who is the chair of the committee, Mr. Gray and Mr. Jenusaitis. Our board of directors
has determined that each of the members of our compensation committee is an outside director, as defined pursuant to Section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and satisfies the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules independence requirements. The
functions of this committee include, among other things:
●
reviewing,
modifying and approving (or if it deems appropriate, making recommendations to the full board of directors regarding) our overall
compensation strategy and policies;
●
reviewing
and approving the compensation, the performance goals and objectives relevant to the compensation, and other terms of employment
of our Chief Executive Officers and our other executive officers;
●
reviewing
and approving (or if it deems appropriate, making recommendations to the full board of directors regarding) the equity incentive
plans, compensation plans and similar programs advisable for us, as well as modifying, amending or terminating existing plans and
programs;
●
reviewing
and approving the terms of any employment agreements, severance arrangements, change in control protections and any other compensatory
arrangements for our executive officers;
●
reviewing
with management and approving our disclosures under the caption “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in our periodic
reports or proxy statements to be filed with the SEC; and
●
preparing
the report that the SEC requires in our annual proxy statement.
Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee
Our
nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Dr. Duhay, who is the chair of the committee, Mr. Jenusaitis and Dr. Shrivastava.
Our board of directors has determined that each of the members of this committee satisfies the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules independence
requirements. The functions of this committee include, among other things:
●
identifying,
reviewing and evaluating candidates to serve on our board of directors consistent with criteria approved by our board of directors;
●
evaluating
director performance on our board of directors and applicable committees of our board of directors and determining whether continued
service on our board of directors is appropriate;
●
evaluating,
nominating and recommending individuals for membership on our board of directors; and
●
evaluating
nominations by stockholders of candidates for election to our board of directors.
40
Code
of Conduct
Our
board of directors has adopted a written code of conduct that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal
executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.
We have posted on our website a current copy of the code and all disclosures that are required by law or Nasdaq Marketplace Rules concerning
any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the code.
Board
Leadership Structure
Our board of directors is free
to select the Chairman of the board of directors and a Chief Executive Officer in a manner that it considers to be in the best interests
of our company at the time of selection. Currently, Robert A. Berman serves as our Chief Executive Officer. The office of the Chairman
of the board of directors has been vacant since May 2019. We currently believe that this leadership structure is in our best interests
and strikes an appropriate balance between our Chief Executive Officer’s responsibility for the day-to-day management of our company
and the Chairman of the board of directors’ responsibility to provide oversight, including setting the board of directors’
meeting agendas and presiding at executive sessions of the independent directors. Additionally, four of our five members of our board
of directors have been deemed to be “independent” by the board of directors, which we believe provides sufficient independent
oversight of our management. Our board of directors has not designated a lead independent director.
Our
board of directors, as a whole and also at the committee level, plays an active role overseeing the overall management of our risks.
Our Audit Committee reviews risks related to financial and operational items with our management and our independent registered public
accounting firm. Our board of directors is in regular contact with our Chief Executive Officer, who reports directly to our board of
directors and who supervises day-to-day risk management.
Role
of Board in Risk Oversight Process
Our
board of directors believes that risk management is an important part of establishing, updating and executing on our business strategy.
Our board of directors has oversight responsibility relating to risks that could affect the corporate strategy, business objectives,
compliance, operations, and the financial condition and performance of our company. Our board of directors focuses its oversight on the
most significant risks facing us and on our processes to identify, prioritize, assess, manage and mitigate those risks. Our board of
directors receives regular reports from members of our senior management on areas of material risk to us, including strategic, operational,
financial, legal and regulatory risks. While our board of directors has an oversight role, management is principally tasked with direct
responsibility for management and assessment of risks and the implementation of processes and controls to mitigate their effects on us.
Certain
Legal Proceedings
None
of the Company’s directors or executive officers have been involved, in the past ten years and in a manner material to an evaluation
of such director’s or officer’s ability or integrity to serve as a director or executive officer, in any of those “Certain
Legal Proceedings” more fully detailed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K, which include but are not limited to, bankruptcies, criminal
convictions and an adjudication finding that an individual violated federal or state securities laws.

On
March 30, 2018, we entered into an employment agreement with Robert A. Berman, our current Chief Executive Officer and director. Pursuant
to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Berman’s base salary is $400,000, subject to annual review and adjustment at the
discretion of our compensation committee, and he will be eligible for an annual year-end discretionary bonus of up to 50% of his base

to receive 6 month of base salary if termination occurred prior to the second anniversary of his employment or 12 months of continued

a change of control).
44
Craig
Glynn
On
February 19, 2021, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Glynn, in connection with Mr. Glynn’s elevation to
full time Chief Financial Officer in addition to treasurer and secretary of the Company. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Glynn
will earn $225,000 per year. In addition, Mr. Glynn will receive stock options to purchase 324,000 shares of common stock of the Company
at an exercise price of $8.20 per shares (the closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 18, 2021). The stock options
vest in equal quarterly installments over a three year period with a six month cliff. The employment agreement further provides that
Mr. Glynn is entitled to participate in any employee benefit plans that the Company has adopted or may adopt.
Pursuant

death, for “Cause” (as defined in the employment agreement) or without “Cause” by the Company, and for “Good
Reason” (as defined in the employment agreement) or voluntarily by Mr. Glynn. In the event of Mr. Glynn’s death or disability,
or termination for “Cause” by the Company or without “Good Reason” by Mr. Glynn, Mr. Glynn (or his estate) is
entitled to receive any unpaid base salary through the termination date, reimbursement for unreimbursed business expenses, accrued but

45
Marc
H. Glickman, M.D.
On
July 22, 2016, we entered into an employment agreement with Marc H. Glickman, M.D., our Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer
(the “Pre-existing Employment Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of his Pre-existing Employment Agreement, Dr. Glickman’s
base salary is $300,000, subject to annual review and adjustment at the discretion of our board of directors, and he will be eligible
for an annual year-end discretionary bonus of up to 50% of his base salary, subject to the achievement of key performance indicators,
as determined by our board of directors. In connection with his Pre-existing Employment Agreement, Dr. Glickman received an initial equity
grant of an option to purchase up to 7,380 shares of our common stock with 20% of the shares vesting immediately and 80% vesting on a
monthly basis over 24 months thereafter. The initial term of Dr. Glickman’s Pre-existing Employment Agreement ended on December
31, 2018 and was automatically extended for additional three-year terms.
On
July 26, 2019, we entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Glickman (the “New Employment Agreement”) that supersedes
the terms of the Pre-existing Employment Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the New Employment Agreement, Dr. Glickman’s base
salary is $350,000 per year, subject to annual review and adjustment at the discretion of the Board. In connection with entering into
the New Employment Agreement, Dr. Glickman’s existing seven thousand three hundred and eighty (7,380) options (“Existing
Options”) to purchase Company common stock at two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00) per share until October 1, 2026, were repriced
to fifty dollars ($50.00) per share. Additionally, Dr. Glickman, in connection to the New Employment Agreement, was granted stock options
for the right to purchase seven thousand two hundred (7,200) common stock at a price equal to two dollars ($50.00) per share exercisable
until July 26, 2029, which shall vest quarterly over a three (3) year period. In February 2021, the board of directors approved an option
grant to Dr. Glickman to purchase 406,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.20 per shares (the closing price of the Company’s
common stock on February 18, 2021). The stock option vests in equal quarterly installments over a two year period. Additionally, the
board of directors paid Mr. Berman a cash bonus of $50,000.
Pursuant
to the terms of the New Employment Agreement, Dr. Glickman is an at-will employee and is entitled to severance in the event of certain
terminations of his employment. In the event that Dr. Glickman’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined
in the New Employment Agreement), other than by reason of Disability (as defined in the New Employment Agreement), or he resigns for
Good Reason (as defined in the New Employment Agreement), subject to his timely executing a release of claims in favor of the Company
and in addition to certain other accrued benefits, Dr. Glickman is entitled to receive three months of his base salary for each year
that he has been employed by the Company at the time of termination, up to a total of one year of his base salary.
Potential
Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control
Pursuant
to the terms of the employment agreements discussed above, we will pay severance in the event of certain terminations of employment.
In the event employment is terminated by us without cause and other than by reason of disability or if the executive resigns for good
reason, subject to his or her timely executing a release of claims in our favor and in addition to certain other accrued benefits, he
or she is entitled to receive severance pursuant to the terms of his or her employment agreements discussed above.

Employee
Benefit Plans
Amended
and Restated 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan
On
October 1, 2016, our board of directors and our stockholders adopted and approved the enVVeno Medical Corporation 2016 Omnibus
Incentive Plan, and, subsequently, on April 26, 2018, our board of directors and our stockholders adopted and approved the Amended and
Restated 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan which was subsequently amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated 2016 Omnibus Incentive
Plan following receipt of stockholder approval on December 17, 2020 and by Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated 2016 Omnibus Incentive
Plan following receipt of stockholder approval on November 30, 2021 (as amended, the “2016 Plan”). The principal features
of the 2016 Plan are summarized below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the 2016 Plan, which is
filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
Share
Reserve
We currently have reserved 4,500,000
shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2016 Plan, provided, however, if at any time the Company issues additional shares
of Common Stock or securities that are convertible or exercisable into shares of Common Stock (other than pursuant to the Plan) then
the number of shares authorized to be awarded under the Plan shall increase to an amount equal to no less than 20% of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis. Such increase, if any, shall occur automatically upon each
applicable issuance of securities by the Company. All shares available for issuance under the Plan may be granted as incentive
stock options under Code Section 422. The shares of common stock issuable under the 2016 Plan will consist of authorized and unissued
shares, treasury shares or shares purchased on the open market or otherwise, all as determined by our company from time to time.
If
any award is canceled, terminates, expires or lapses for any reason prior to the issuance of shares or if shares are issued under the
2016 Plan and thereafter are forfeited to us, the shares subject to such awards and the forfeited shares will not count against the aggregate
number of shares of common stock available for grant under the 2016 Plan. In addition, the following items will not count against the
aggregate number of shares of common stock available for grant under the 2016 Plan: (1) shares issued under the 2016 Plan repurchased
or surrendered at no more than cost or pursuant to an option exchange program, (2) any award that is settled in cash rather than by issuance
of shares of common stock, (3) shares surrendered or tendered in payment of the option price or purchase price of an award or any taxes
required to be withheld in respect of an award or (4) awards granted in assumption of or in substitution for awards previously granted
by an acquired company.
Administration
The
2016 Plan may be administered by our board of directors or our compensation committee. Our compensation committee, in its discretion,
selects the individuals to whom awards may be granted, the time or times at which such awards are granted and the terms and conditions
of such awards. Our board of directors also has the authority, subject to the terms of the 2016 Plan, to amend existing options (including
to reduce the option’s exercise price), to institute an exchange program by which outstanding options may be surrendered in exchange
for options that may have different exercise prices and terms, restricted stock, and/or cash or other property.
Eligibility
Awards
may be granted under the 2016 Plan to officers, employees, directors, consultants and advisors of us and our affiliates. Incentive stock
options may be granted only to employees of us or our subsidiaries.
48
Awards
The
2016 Plan permits the granting of any or all of the following types of awards:
●
Stock
Options . Stock options entitle the holder to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock at a specified price (the
exercise price), subject to the terms and conditions of the stock option grant. Our compensation committee may grant either incentive
stock options, which must comply with Code Section 422, or nonqualified stock options. Our compensation committee sets exercise prices
and terms and conditions, except that stock options must be granted with an exercise price not less than 100% of the fair market
value of our common stock on the date of grant (excluding stock options granted in connection with assuming or substituting stock
options in acquisition transactions). Unless our compensation committee determines otherwise, fair market value means, as of a given
date, the closing price of our common stock. At the time of grant, our compensation committee determines the terms and conditions
of stock options, including the quantity, exercise price, vesting periods, term (which cannot exceed 10 years) and other conditions
on exercise.
●
Stock
Appreciation Rights . Our compensation committee may grant SARs, as a right in tandem with the number of shares underlying stock
options granted under the 2016 Plan or as a freestanding award. Upon exercise, SARs entitle the holder to receive payment per share
in stock or cash, or in a combination of stock and cash, equal to the excess of the share’s fair market value on the date of
exercise over the grant price of the SAR. The grant price of a tandem SAR is equal to the exercise price of the related stock option
and the grant price for a freestanding SAR is determined by our compensation committee in accordance with the procedures described
above for stock options. Exercise of a SAR issued in tandem with a stock option will reduce the number of shares underlying the related
stock option to the extent of the SAR exercised. The term of a freestanding SAR cannot exceed 10 years, and the term of a tandem
SAR cannot exceed the term of the related stock option.
●
Restricted
Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards . Our compensation committee may grant awards of restricted stock,
which are shares of common stock subject to specified restrictions, and restricted stock units, or RSUs, which represent the right
to receive shares of our common stock in the future. These awards may be made subject to repurchase, forfeiture or vesting restrictions
at our compensation committee’s discretion. The restrictions may be based on continuous service with us or the attainment of
specified performance goals, as determined by our compensation committee. Stock units may be paid in stock or cash or a combination
of stock and cash, as determined by our compensation committee. Our compensation committee may also grant other types of equity or
equity-based awards subject to the terms and conditions of the 2016 Plan and any other terms and conditions determined by our compensation
committee.
●
Performance
Awards . Our compensation committee may grant performance awards, which entitle participants to receive a payment from us, the
amount of which is based on the attainment of performance goals established by our compensation committee over a specified award
period. Performance awards may be denominated in shares of common stock or in cash, and may be paid in stock or cash or a combination
of stock and cash, as determined by our compensation committee. Cash-based performance awards include annual incentive awards.
49
Clawback
All
cash and equity awards granted under the 2016 plan will be subject to all applicable laws regarding the recovery of erroneously awarded
compensation, any implementing rules and regulations under such laws, any policies we adopted to implement such requirements and any
other compensation recovery policies as we may adopt from time to time.
Change
in Control
Under
the 2016 Plan, in the event of a change in control (as defined in the 2016 Plan), outstanding awards will be treated in accordance with
the applicable transaction agreement. If no treatment is provided for in the transaction agreement, each award holder will be entitled
to receive the same consideration that stockholders receive in the change in control for each share of stock subject to the award holder’s
awards, upon the exercise, payment or transfer of the awards, but the awards will remain subject to the same terms, conditions and performance
criteria applicable to the awards before the change in control, unless otherwise determined by our compensation committee. In connection
with a change in control, outstanding stock options and SARs can be cancelled in exchange for the excess of the per share consideration
paid to stockholders in the transaction, minus the option or SARs exercise price.
Subject
to the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreements, awards granted to non-employee directors will fully vest on an accelerated
basis, and any performance goals will be deemed to be satisfied at target. For awards granted to all other service providers, vesting
of awards will depend on whether the awards are assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity.
●
For
awards that are not assumed, converted or replaced, the awards will vest upon the change in control. For performance awards, the
amount vesting will be based on the greater of (1) achievement of all performance goals at the “target” level or (2)
the actual level of achievement of performance goals as of our fiscal quarter end preceding the change in control, and will be prorated
based on the portion of the performance period that had been completed through the date of the change in control.
●
For
awards that are assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity, no automatic vesting will occur upon the change in control.
Instead, the awards, as adjusted in connection with the transaction, will continue to vest in accordance with their terms and conditions.
In addition, the awards will vest if the award recipient has a separation from service within two years after a change in control
by us other than for “cause” or by the award recipient for “good reason” (each as defined in the applicable
award agreement). For performance awards, the amount vesting will be based on the greater of (1) achievement of all performance goals
at the “target” level or (2) the actual level of achievement of performance goals as of our fiscal quarter end preceding
the change in control, and will be prorated based on the portion of the performance period that had been completed through the date
of the separation from service.
Amendment
and Termination of the 2016 Plan
Unless
earlier terminated by our board of directors, the 2016 Plan will terminate, and no further awards may be granted, 10 years after October
1, 2016, the date on which it was approved by our stockholders. Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the 2016 Plan
at any time, except that, if required by applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule, stockholder approval will be required for
any amendment. The amendment, suspension or termination of the 2016 Plan or the amendment of an outstanding award generally may not,
without a participant’s consent, materially impair the participant’s rights under an outstanding award.
50
Limitation
of Liability and Indemnification Matters
Our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary
duties, except for liability that cannot be eliminated under the DGCL. Consequently, our directors will not be personally liable for
monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for any of the following:
●
any
breach of their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
●
acts
or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
●
unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or
●
any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Our
amended and restated bylaws also provide that we will indemnify our directors and executive officers and may indemnify our other officers
and employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our amended and restated bylaws also permit us to secure insurance
on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in this capacity, regardless
of whether our amended and restated bylaws would permit indemnification. We have obtained directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance.
We
have entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, in addition to indemnification provided
for in our amended and restated bylaws. These agreements, among other things, provide for indemnification of our directors and executive
officers for expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by this person in any action or proceeding arising out of this
person’s services as a director or executive officer or at our request. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary
to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers.
The
above description of the indemnification provisions of our amended and restated bylaws and our indemnification agreements is not complete
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to these documents, each of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration
statement to which this prospectus forms a part.
The
limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated
bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce
the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our
stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors
and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion
of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and may be unenforceable. There is no pending
litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any
pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director or officer.
Director
Compensation
The Board determines
the form and amount of director compensation after its review of recommendations made by the Compensation Committee. A substantial portion
of each director’s annual retainer is in the form of equity. Under the Company’s nonemployee director compensation program
members of the Board who are not also Company employees (“Non-Employee Directors”) are granted options worth up to thirty-seven
thousand five hundred dollars ($37,500) per annum (the “Annual Award”). Prior to February 18, 2021, the equity
portion of director compensation included eight hundred options and restricted stock units (“RSU’s” worth up to twenty-five
thousand dollars ($25,000) per annum. A Non-Employee Director who is newly appointed to the Board other than in connection with an
annual meeting of stockholders will generally receive a grant of two thousand four hundred (2,400) options and RSUs worth up to seventy-five
thousand dollars ($75,000) upon appointment (an “Initial Award”), which covers their compensation for their first three years
of service. The Initial Award and Annual Award to Non-Employee Directors will vest as long as they remain directors in equal annual portions
over three years following the date in which the award is granted.

Security
Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The
following table lists, as of March 24, 2022, the number of shares of common stock of our Company that are beneficially owned
by (i) each person or entity known to our Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock; (ii) each
officer and director of our Company; and (iii) all officers and directors as a group.
Applicable
percentage ownership is based on 9,469,850 shares of common stock outstanding as the date of this Form 10-K. We have determined beneficial
ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who
possess sole or shared voting or dispositive power with respect to such securities. In addition, pursuant to such rules, we deemed outstanding
shares of common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days
of March 24, 2022. We did not deem such shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership
of any other person. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the beneficial
owners named in the table below have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all shares of our common stock that they beneficially
own, subject to applicable community property laws.

Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
The
following is a description of transactions since January 1, 2021 to which we were a party in which (i) the amount involved exceeded or
will exceed the lesser of (A) $120,000 or (B) one percent of our average total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years
and (ii) any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any member of the immediate family
of, or person sharing the household with, any of the foregoing persons, who had or will have a direct or indirect material interest,
other than equity and other compensation, termination, change in control and other similar arrangements, which are described under “Executive
Compensation.”
None
Indemnification
of Officers and Directors
Our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that we will indemnify each of our directors
and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Further, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our
directors and officers, and we intend to purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our
directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances. For further information,
see “Executive Compensation—Limitations of Liability and Indemnification Matters.”
To
the best of our knowledge, during the past two fiscal years, other than as set forth above, there were no material transactions, or series
of similar transactions, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which we were or are to be a party,
in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of (A) $120,000 or (B) one percent of our average total assets at year end for the last
two completed fiscal years, and in which any director or executive officer, or any security holder who is known by us to own of record
or beneficially more than 5% of any class of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons,
has an interest (other than compensation to our officers and directors in the ordinary course of business).
Policies
and Procedures for Related Party Transactions
All
future transactions between us and our officers, directors or five percent stockholders, and respective affiliates will be on terms no
less favorable than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties and will be approved by a majority of our independent directors
who do not have an interest in the transactions and who had access, at our expense, to our legal counsel or independent legal counsel.

OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
enVVeno
Medical Corporation
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying balance sheets of enVVeno Medical Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021
and 2020, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the
period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion,
the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and
2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America .
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
1 – Business Organization and Nature of Operations
enVVeno
Medical Corporation is a med-tech company focused on improving the standard of care in the treatment of venous disease. We are developing
tissue-based solutions that are designed to be life sustaining or life enhancing for patients with deep venous Chronic Venous Insufficiency
(CVI). CVI occurs when valves inside of the veins of the leg fail, resulting in insufficient blood being returned to the heart. Our products
are being developed to address large unmet medical needs by either offering treatments where none currently exist or by substantially
increasing the current standards of care. Our lead product is a porcine based device to be surgically implanted in our deep venous
system of the leg, and is called the VenoValve®. The VenoValve is currently being evaluated in the SAVVE U.S. pivotal trial for the
purpose of obtaining approval to market and sell the device from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). Our team
of officers and directors has been affiliated with numerous medical devices that have received FDA approval or CE marking and have been
commercially successful. We currently lease a 14,507 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Irvine, California, where we manufacture medical
devices for our clinical trials, and which has capacity for commercial manufacturing.
On
September 21, 2021, we announced that we were changing our name from Hancock Jaffe to enVVeno Medical Corporation and that our development
strategy is to focus on the treatment of venous disease. In addition to the VenoValve, we announced that we have begun development of
a second device for the treatment of venous disease which we are calling enVVe. In connection with this change in strategy, we indicated
that we are not pursuing further development of the CoreoGraft, which is now outside of our primary focus area.
Note
2 – Management’s Liquidity Plan
As
of December 31, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $ 54.7
million and working capital of $ 53.5
million. Although the Company expects to continue
incurring losses for the foreseeable future and may need to raise additional capital to sustain its operations, pursue its product development
initiatives and penetrate markets for the sale of its products, Management believes that our capital resources at December 31, 2021,
are sufficient to meet our obligations as they become due within one year after the date of this Annual Report, and sustain operations.
Note
3 – Significant Accounting Policies
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent
liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include the valuation allowance related to the
Company’s deferred tax assets, and the valuation of warrants and derivative liabilities.
Property
and Equipment, Net
Property
and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which
range from 5 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of (a) the useful life of the asset; or (b) the remaining
lease term. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the economic useful life of the related assets, are charged
to operations as incurred, and expenditures, which extend the economic life are capitalized. When assets are retired, or otherwise disposed
of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on disposal is
recognized.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
The
Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the
use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount.

MEDICAL CORPORATION
f/k/a
HANCOCK JAFFE LABORATORIES, INC.
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Income
Taxes
The
Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included
the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized.
ASC
740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be
sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits
as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2021
and December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals
or material deviation from its position.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”)
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
FASB
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price)
in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the
measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs
and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure
fair value:
Level 1
Quoted prices available
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities trading in active markets.
Level 2
Observable inputs other
than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quotable prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices
for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated
by observable market data.
Level 3
Unobservable inputs that
are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes
certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar valuation techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
Financial instruments, including accounts payable
are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Derivative liabilities
are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Derivative
Liabilities
Derivative
financial instruments are recorded as a liability at fair value and are marked-to-market as of each balance sheet date. The change in
fair value at each balance sheet date is recorded as a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities on the statement of operations
for each reporting period. The fair value of the derivative liabilities was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation, incorporating
observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates. The Company reassesses the classification of the financial instruments at
each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the financial instrument is marked to
market and reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
Net
Loss per Share
The
Company computes basic and diluted loss per share by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period including warrants exercisable for little or no cash consideration. Net loss attributable
to common stockholders in 2020 consists of net loss adjusted for the convertible preferred stock deemed dividend resulting from the 8%
cumulative dividend on the Preferred Stock (see Note 10 - Stockholders Equity Series C Convertible Preferred Stock ). Basic and
diluted net loss per common share are the same since the inclusion of common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants and
options, would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company has an Equity Incentive Plan under which the Board of Directors may grant restricted stock or stock options to employees and
nonemployees. The accounting treatment for share-based payments to employees and non-employees is substantially equivalent.
Share-based
compensation cost is recorded for all option grants and awards of non-vested stock based on the grant date fair value of the award, and
is recognized over the service period required for the award.
The
fair value of the Company’s stock options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes based option valuation model.
For the expected term, the Company uses SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 simplified method for “plain vanilla” options
with following characteristics: (i) the share options are granted at the market price on the grant date; (ii) exercisability is conditional
on performing service through the vesting date on most options; (iii) if an employee terminates service prior to vesting, the employee
would forfeit the share options; (iv) if an employee terminates service after vesting, the employee would have 30 to 90 days to exercise
the share options; and (v) the share options are nontransferable and nonhedgeable.
The
volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock with an equivalent remaining expected
term. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of future dividend payouts on the common
stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining
expected term.
For
option grants without performance conditions, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period ratably,
recognizing expense for each tranche of each grant starting on the grant date. For grants that have both service and performance conditions,
the Company recognizes compensation expense using the graded attribution method. Compensation expense for grants with performance conditions
is recognized only for those awards expected to vest.
Forfeitures of unvested stock options are recorded
when they occur.
Concentrations
The
Company maintains cash with major financial institutions. Cash held in United States bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $ 250,000 at each institution. There were aggregate uninsured cash balances of
$ 54.5 million and $ 9.1 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Recently
Adopted Accounting Standards
In
December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various
aspects of the income tax accounting guidance, including requirements such as tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction
that is not a business combination, ownership changes in investments, and interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. ASU
2019-12 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within
those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The
adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
Recent
Accounting Standards
In
January 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-01 (“ASU 2020-01”) Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321),
Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in ASU 2020-01 clarify
certain interactions between the guidance to account for certain equity securities under Topic 321, the guidance to account for investments
under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323, and the guidance in Topic 815, which could change how an entity accounts for an equity
security under the measurement alternative or a forward contract or purchased option to purchase securities that, upon settlement of
the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or the fair value
option in accordance with Topic 825, Financial Instruments. These amendments improve current GAAP by reducing diversity in practice and
increasing comparability of the accounting for these interactions. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact
on our financial statements and related disclosures.
In
August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”), Accounting for Convertible Instruments
and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 include guidance on convertible instruments and the derivative
scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity and simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments which include
beneficial conversion features or cash conversion features by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20. Additionally, ASU
2020-06 will require entities to use the “if-converted” method when calculating diluted earnings per share for convertible
instruments. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods
within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial statements and related
disclosures.
In
May 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-04 (“ASU No. 2021-04”), Issuer’s Accounting for Certain
Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. The guidance in ASU 2021-04 requires the issuer to
treat a modification of an equity-classified written call option (the “option”) that does not cause the option to become
liability-classified as an exchange of the original option for a new option. This guidance applies whether the modification is structured
as an amendment to the terms and conditions of the option or as termination of the original option and issuance of a new option. The
amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal
years. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.
In
October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-08 (“ASU No. 2021-08”), Business Combinations (Topic 805):
Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, to require that an acquirer recognize and measure
contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it
had originated the contracts. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively and are effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have
a material impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.

5 – Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liabilities
On
November 17, 2021, the Company amended its operating lease for its manufacturing facility in Irvine, California, to extend the term an
additional 60 months from its September 30, 2022 expiration date to a new expiration date of September 30, 2027. The initial lease rate
at the date of the amendment was $ 30,206 per month with escalating payments. In connection with the lease, the Company is obligated to
pay $ 7,254 monthly for operating expenses for building repairs and maintenance. The Company has no other operating or financing leases
with terms greater than 12 months .

ASC
740 requires that the tax benefit of net operating losses, temporary differences and credit carryforwards be recorded as an asset to
the extent that management assesses that realization is “more likely than not.” Realization of the future tax benefits is
dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period. Because of the Company’s
history of operating losses, management believes that recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from the above listed future tax
benefits is currently not more likely than not to be realized and, accordingly, has provided a full valuation allowance. The valuation
allowance increased by $ 3.6
million and $ 2.4
million during the years ended December 31, 2021
and 2020, respectively.
Under
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change” (generally
defined as a greater than 50% change (by value) in its equity ownership over a three-year period), the corporation’s ability to
use its pre-change net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards and other pre-change tax attributes to offset its post-change income taxes
may be limited. In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the usage of the Company’s NOL carry forwards are
subject to annual limitations due to a greater than 50 % ownership change in 2021.
At
December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had post-ownership change net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes
of approximately $ 45.7
million and $ 35.0
million, respectively. Pre-2018 federal NOLs
of approximately $ 12.0 million
may be carried forward for twenty years and begin to expire in 2029. Based on the 2021 ownership change, the Company expects $ 7.6
million of its pre-2018 federal NOLs to expire unused. Under the Tax Act, post-2017 federal NOLs in the aggregate amount of $ 33.0
million can be carried forward indefinitely and
the annual limit of deduction equals 80 %
of taxable income. However, to the extent the Company utilizes its NOL carryforwards in the future, the tax years in which the attribute
was generated may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities of the future period tax
return in which the attribute is utilized. The Company also has federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately
$ 0.2
million which begin to expire in 2027.
As
of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for state income tax purposes of approximately
$ 45.7
million and $ 35.0
million, respectively, which can be carried forward for twenty years and begin to expire in 2028.
The
Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction as well as California and local jurisdictions and is subject to examination
by those taxing authorities. The Company’s federal income taxes for the years beginning in 2018 remain subject to examination.
The Company’s state and local income tax returns for the years beginning in 2017 remain subject to examination. No tax audits were
initiated during 2021 or 2020.
Management
has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial
statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits within
twelve months of the reporting date. The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest
expense and penalties as general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations.
On
March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted in response to COVID-19 pandemic. Under ASC 740, the effects of changes in tax rates and laws
are recognized in the period which the new legislation is enacted. The CARES Act made various tax law changes including among other things
(i) increasing the limitation under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”) for 2019
and 2020 to permit additional expensing of interest (ii) enacting a technical correction so that qualified improvement property can be
immediately expensed under IRC Section 168(k), (iii) making modifications to the federal net operating loss rules including permitting
federal net operating losses incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to the five preceding taxable years in order to generate
a refund of previously paid income taxes and (iv) enhancing the recoverability of alternative minimum tax credits. The Company has evaluated
the impact CARES Act on its provision for income taxes and determined there is not a significant impact to income taxes because of the
CARES Act.
On June 29, 2020, California’s Governor Newsom
signed AB85 suspending California net operating loss (“NOL”) utilization and imposing a cap on the amount of business incentives
tax credits (R&D credit) for tax years 2020-2022. Given the tax loss in 2020 and an expected tax loss for 2021, the
suspension will not have an impact on the Company’s NOL in California. On February 9, 2022, Mr. Newsom signed SB113 which removes
the restrictions in AB85 effective for the 2022 tax year.

and its Chief Executive Officer were served with a second complaint filed in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of
Orange by Mr. Rankin. The case is entitled Rankin v. Hancock Jaffe Laboratories, Inc. et al., Case No. 30-2020-01157857 and was
filed on August 31, 2020. The complaints assert several causes of action including a cause of action for failure to timely pay Mr. Rankin’s
accrued and unused vacation and three months’ severance under his July 16, 2018 employment agreement, defamation, unlawful labor
code violations, sex-based discrimination, and unfair competition, and seeks damages for lost wages, emotional and mental distress, consequential
damages, punitive damages and attorney’s fees and costs. The Company has denied all claims in both matters (which have now been
consolidated) and has filed a counterclaim asserting that Rankin has breached his employment agreement with the Company to the Company’s
damage. The Company continues to believe it has meritorious defenses to both matters. As of the date of these financial statements,
the amount of loss associated with these complaints, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, no amounts related to these

Series
C Convertible Preferred Stock
On
July 17, 2020, the Company issued 4,205,406 shares of Preferred Stock in a private placement. On November 17, 2020, the holders of the
Preferred Stock purchased in the July 17, 2020 private placement entered exchange agreements with the Company whereby the holders agreed
to exchange all of their 4,205,406 shares of Preferred Stock for 243,125 shares of common stock. This was the original conversion rate
of the Preferred Stock after giving effect to the 25:1 reverse split of the Company’s common stock.
While
the Preferred Stock was outstanding, the holders of the Company’s Preferred Stock could vote with holders of the Common Stock,
and with any other shares of preferred stock that vote with the Common Stock, with each holder of Preferred Stock being entitled to one
vote per share of Preferred Stock, and were entitled to receive 8 % non-compounding cumulative dividends, payable when, as and if declared
by the Board of Directors. The Series C Preferred Stock ranked senior to the common stock as to dividends and the distribution of assets
in the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, or any sale of the Company.
In
the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, or any sale of the Company,
the holders of Preferred Stock were entitled to receive, before and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets to the holders
of the common stock, or any other series of the Company’s preferred stock that would then be junior to the Preferred Stock, an
amount per share equal to $0.37 for each outstanding share of Preferred Stock (the “Original Series C Issue Price”), plus
all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon through the date of such event.
In
certain circumstances, the holders of Preferred Stock were entitled to receive a liquidation preference payment of $ 0.37 per share of
Preferred Stock, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Those accrued and unpaid dividends were $ 23,859 in the aggregate as of September
30, 2020 and were reflected as a deemed dividend in determining net loss available to common stockholders during that period. As a result
of the exchange of the Preferred Stock for common stock, it is no longer outstanding (see below).
The
liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock was subordinate and ranks junior to all indebtedness of the Company.
The
Company had the ability to elect to convert the Preferred Stock to common stock in the event the Company either (i) consummated a merger,
or (ii) raised an aggregate of at least $8,000,000 in gross proceeds in a transaction or series of transactions within any twelve (12)
month period. In the event the Company elected to affect such a conversion, each share of Series C Preferred Stock would have been convertible
into 0.05781 shares of common stock.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
Company determined that the Preferred Stock represented permanent equity due to the absence of a redemption feature and that the embedded
conversion option was clearly and closely related to the equity host and did not require bifurcation. The $ 2,431,250 fair value of the
warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the $ 11.00 stock price, an expected term of 7.0 years, volatility
of 118.7 %, a risk-free rate of 0.47 % and expected dividends of 0.00 %. The $ 1,556,000 of gross proceeds were allocated on a relative fair
value basis of $ 607,220 to the Preferred Stock and $ 948,781 to the warrants. The Preferred Stock includes a contingent beneficial conversion
feature (“BCF”) which was valued at its $ 2,067,155 intrinsic value using the commitment date stock price of $ 11.00 per share
and the effective conversion price of $2.50 per share, but was limited to the $607,220 of proceeds that were allocated to the Preferred
Stock .
The
November 17, 2020 exchange agreements resolved the contingency related to the BCF and, accordingly, the contingent BCF was recognized
as a deemed dividend for the purposes of determining the net loss attributable to common stockholders for calculating net loss per share.
In addition, since the Company does not have retained earnings, the dividend has been recorded against additional paid-in capital.

were paid pursuant to an investment banking agreement dated February 12, 2020 in connection with financings which occurred in July and
October 2020. The fair value of these warrants on the settlement date was $ 0.1
million and $ 0.1
million , respectively. The
total amount of the payment to settle the dispute was $ 0.5

risk-free interest rate of 0.46 %,
volatility of 112.7 %,
annual rate of quarterly dividends of 0 %,

– Derivative Liabilities
The
warrants issued in connection with our February 25, 2020 Bridge Offering were determined to be derivative financial instruments when
issued because the Company did not have control of the obligation to obtain shareholder approval by May 25, 2020 to increase the number
of authorized shares or to approve a reverse stock split. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments required that
the Company record the warrants as a liability at fair value and marked-to-market the instruments at fair values as of each subsequent
balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities for each reporting period
at each balance sheet date.
The
warrant derivatives were valued as of the February 25, 2020 issuance date, as of the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as of June 30, 2020,
and as of September 15, 2020 when the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in authorized shares in an amount sufficient
to allow full exercise of these warrants. The value at issuance was $ 546,036 and was recorded as a derivative liability. The value of
the derivative liability was $ 199,907 at March 31, 2020, $ 281,183 at June 30, 2020, and $ 334,229 at September 15, 2020.
The
derivative liability increased $ 53,046 and decreased $ 211,807 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
The changes in derivative liability is reflected in Other Income on the accompanying Statement of Operations.
The
Company reassessed the classification at each balance sheet date to determine if it should be changed as a result of events during the
period. On September 15, 2020, the fair value of derivative liabilities was reclassified to equity when the Company’s stockholders
approved items comprising a Capital Event. Accordingly, there is no fair value of derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2020.
The
fair value of the warrants was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation, incorporating observable market data and requiring judgment
and estimates. The following inputs and assumptions were used for the valuation of the derivative liability:

price would fluctuate with the Company’s projected volatility.
●
The projected volatility
was based on the historical volatility of the Company.
●
If the Company was required
to pay the fair value of the warrant in cash as of May 25, 2020, the obligation was discounted at the Company’s estimated cost
of debt based on short-term C-CCC bond ratings of 19.5% and 28.5% .
●
The likelihood of the Company
calling a shareholder meeting and achieving shareholder approval was 90% as of February 25, 2020 .
●
As June 30, 2020, the Company
projected shareholder approval would not be obtained until approximately 8/31/20. No mandatory exercise was allowed prior to that
date.
●
Until the Company obtained
shareholder approval to increase the authorized shares on September 15, 2020, we assumed the warrant holders have an option to require
the Company to pay the fair value of the warrants. The derivative value at that date was $ 334,229 .

11 – Share Based Compensation
Omnibus
Incentive Plan
The
Company issues share-based awards under its Company’s 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which enables the Company to grant stock options,
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock, other share based awards and cash awards to
associates, directors, consultants, and advisors of the Company and its affiliates, and to improve the ability of the Company to attract,
retain, and motivate individuals upon whom the Company’s sustained growth and financial success depend, by providing such persons
with an opportunity to acquire or increase their proprietary interest in the Company. Stock options granted under the 2016 Plan may be
non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, except
that stock options granted to outside directors and any consultants or advisers providing services to the Company or an affiliate shall
in all cases be non-qualified stock options. The option price must be at least 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant and
if issued to a 10% or greater shareholder must be 110% of the fair market value on the date of the grant .
The
2016 Plan is to be administered by the Board, which has discretion over the awards and grants thereunder. No awards may be issued
after November 21, 2026.
The
Plan was adopted in 2016 and amended in 2018, 2020 and 2021 to increase the number of shares authorized to be awarded under
the Plan. As of December 31, 2021 there are 4,500,000 shares
authorized under the Plan as a result of the increase authorized by our shareholders in 2021. The number of shares subject to
the Plan is automatically adjusted from time to time such that shares authorized under the plan shall at all times be equal
to at least 20 %
of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis. The current number of shares authorized is greater
than the 20 % minimum.
Stock
Options
The
fair value of each option grant is estimated at the grant date using the Black Scholes method. The following assumptions were used in
estimating fair value:
Schedule of Stock Options Assumptions in Estimated Fair Value
2021
2020
Expected term
5.44 – 6.5 years
5.16 – 5.76 years
Volatility

107.5 %
Risk free interest rate
0.08 – 1.20 %
0..30 – 0.36 %
Dividend yield

The
Company estimated the expected term of the options using the simplified method. The Company uses its stock’s historical market
information to calculate volatility used in estimating fair value of options granted.
