NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(amounts
in these accompanying notes are presented in thousands, except number of shares and per-share amounts.)
Note
1 — The Company
PAVmed
Inc. (“PAVmed” or the “Company”) together with its majority owned subsidiaries, Lucid Diagnostics, Inc. (“Lucid
Diagnostics” or “LUCID”) and Solys Diagnostics, Inc. (“Solys Diagnostics” or “SOLYS”) were
organized to advance a broad pipeline of innovative medical technologies from concept to commercialization, employing a business model
focused on capital efficiency and speed to market. The Company’s activities have focused on advancing the lead products towards
regulatory approval and commercialization, protecting its intellectual property, and building its corporate infrastructure and management
team. The Company operates in one segment as a medical device company.
The
ability of the Company to generate revenue depends upon the Company’s ability to successfully advance the commercialization of
EsoGuard and CarpX while also completing the development and the necessary regulatory approvals of its other products and services. In
this regard:
●
EsoCheck
has received 510(k) marketing clearance from the FDA as an esophageal cell collection device in June 2019;
●
EsoGuard
completed the certification required by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment (“CLIA”) and accreditation of the
College of American Pathologists (“CAP”) making it commercially available as a Laboratory Developed Test (“LDT”)
at LUCID’s contract diagnostic laboratory service provider in California in December 2019; and,
●
CarpX,
developed as a patented, single-use, disposable, minimally invasive device designed as a precision cutting tool to treat carpal tunnel
syndrome while reducing recovery times, received 510(k) marketing clearance from the FDA in April 2020 with the first commercial
procedure successfully performed in December 2020.
Although
the Company’s current operational activities are principally focused on the commercialization of EsoGuard and CarpX its development
activities are focused on pursuing FDA approval and clearance of other lead products in our product portfolio pipeline, including EsoGuard
IVD, PortIO, DisappEAR, NextFlo, and EsoCure.
The
Company has financed its operations principally through the public and private issuances of its common stock, preferred stock, warrants,
and debt.
Financial
Condition
The
Company has financed its operations principally through the public and private issuances of its common stock, preferred stock, common
stock purchase warrants, and debt. The Company is subject to all of the risks and uncertainties typically faced by medical device and
diagnostic and medical device companies that devote substantially all of their efforts to the commercialization of their initial product
and services and ongoing R&D and clinical trials. The Company expects to continue to experience recurring losses from operations,
and will continue to fund its operations with debt and equity financing transactions. Notwithstanding, however, together with the cash
on-hand as of March 31, 2021, the Company expects to be able to fund its future operations for one year from the date of the issue of
the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Note
2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Significant
Accounting Policies
The
Company’s significant accounting policies are as disclosed in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC on March 15, 2021, except as otherwise noted herein below.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned
subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company holds a majority ownership
interest and has controlling financial interest in Lucid Diagnostics Inc. and Solys Diagnostics Inc., with the corresponding noncontrolling
interest included as a separate component of consolidated stockholders’ equity (deficit), including the recognition in the
consolidated statement of the net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest based on the respective minority ownership interest
of each respective entity.
The
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021, which has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and
the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. As permitted under SEC rules, certain footnotes or other financial
information normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, and accordingly the balance sheet as of December 31, 2020
has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements at such date but does not include all the information required by U.S.
GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on
the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, and in the opinion of management, include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial information.
The
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2021 or for any other interim period or for any other future periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements and related consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2021.
All
amounts in these accompanying notes to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands,
if not otherwise noted as being presented in millions, except for shares and per share amounts.
Use
of Estimates
In
preparing unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Due to inherent
uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in these estimates. On
an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include valuing equity securities
in share-based payment arrangements and estimating the fair value of financial instruments recorded as liabilities. In addition, management’s
assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash
inflows and outflows.

Recently
Adopted Accounting Standards
In
August 2020, the FASB issued its Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other
Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40) , (“ASU
2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity,
including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU2020-06 amendments are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early
adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal
years. The Company’s adoption of the ASU 2020-06 guidance as of January 1, 2021, had no effect on its unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements.
In
December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”, (“ASU
2019-12”). The guidance of ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intra-period
allocation, and calculating income taxes in interim periods, and adds revised guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including
recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. Adoption of the guidance of ASU
2019-12 is required for annual and interim financial statements beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company’s adoption of the
ASU 2019-12 guidance as of January 1, 2021 had no effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note
3 — Related Party Transactions
The
Company’s majority-owned subsidiary Lucid Diagnostics entered into a patent license agreement with Case Western Reserve University
(“CWRU” and “CWRU License Agreement”) in May 2018. In connection with the CWRU License Agreement, CWRU and each
of the three physician inventors of the intellectual property licensed under the CWRU License Agreement hold minority equity ownership
interests in Lucid Diagnostics Inc. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred expenses with respect
to CWRU and the three physician inventors, summarized as follows:

under the CWRU License Agreement, providing for compensation on a contractual rate per hour for consulting services provided. The consulting
agreements have a thirty-six month term ending May 12, 2021. Additionally, each of the three physician inventors were granted stock options
under the PAVmed Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan and were granted stock options and restricted stock awards under the
Lucid Diagnostics Inc. 2018 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan.
As
of March 31, 2021, the Company has payables of $27 for such related party transactions.
See
Note 7, Stock-Based Compensation , for information regarding each of the “PAVmed Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan”

Legal
Proceedings
In
November 2020, a stockholder of the Company, on behalf of himself and other similarly situated stockholders, filed a complaint in the
Delaware Court of Chancery alleging broker non-votes were not properly counted in accordance with the Company’s bylaws at the Company’s
Annual Meeting of Stockholders on July 24, 2020, and, as a result, asserted certain matters deemed to have been approved were not so
approved (including matters relating to the increase in the size of the 2014 Equity Plan and the ESPP). The relief sought under the complaint
includes certain corrective actions by the Company, but does not seek any specific monetary damages. The Company does not believe it
is clear the prior approval of these matters is invalid or otherwise ineffective. However, to avoid any uncertainty and the expense of
further litigation, on January 5, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors determined it would be advisable and in the best interests
of the Company and its stockholders to re-submit these proposals to the Company’s stockholders for ratification and/or approval.
In this regard, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders on March 4, 2021, at which such matters were ratified and approved.
The parties have reached agreement on a proposed term sheet to settle the complaint, the terms of which do not contemplate payment of
monetary damages to the putative class in the proceeding. The settlement of the complaint is pending and is subject to court approval.
On
December 23, 2020, Benchmark Investments, Inc. filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District
of New York alleging the registered direct offerings of shares of common stock of the Company completed in December 2020 were in violation
of provisions set forth in an engagement letter between the Company and the plaintiff. The plaintiff is seeking monetary damages of up
to $1.3 million. The Company disagrees with the allegations set forth in the complaint and intends to vigorously contest the complaint.
In
the ordinary course of our business, particularly as it begins commercialization of its products, the Company may be subject to certain
other legal actions and claims, including product liability, consumer, commercial, tax and governmental matters, which may arise from
time to time. Except as otherwise noted herein, the Company does not believe it is currently a party to any other pending legal proceedings.
Notwithstanding, legal proceedings are subject-to inherent uncertainties, and an unfavorable outcome could include monetary damages,
and excessive verdicts can result from litigation, and as such, could result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s business,
financial position, results of operations, and /or cash flows. Additionally, although the Company has specific insurance for certain
potential risks, the Company may in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims which may have a material adverse
impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and /or cash flows.
Patent
License Agreement – Case Western Reserve University
The
CWRU License Agreement requires Lucid Diagnostics Inc. to achieve certain milestones with respect to regulatory filings and clearances
and commercialization of products and services. If Lucid Diagnostics Inc. does not meet the remaining commercialization and regulatory
clearance milestones listed in the CWRU License Agreement, then CWRU has the right, in its sole discretion, to require PAVmed Inc. to
transfer to CWRU 80% of the shares of common stock of Lucid Diagnostics Inc. then held by PAVmed Inc. Additionally, Lucid Diagnostics
Inc. is required to pay a minimum annual royalty of a percentage of recognized net sales revenue resulting from the commercialization
of the products and /or services developed using the CWRU License Agreement intellectual property, with the minimum amount of royalty
payments based on net sales of such products and services, if any.

As
noted above, as presented in the fair value hierarchy table, Level-1 represents quoted prices in active markets for identical items,
Level-2 represents significant other observable inputs, and Level-3 represents significant unobservable inputs.
The
Senior Secured Convertible Note dated August 6, 2020, the Senior Convertible Note dated April 30, 2020, the Senior Secured Convertible
Note (Series-A and Series-B), dated November 19, 2019, and the Senior Secured Convertible Note dated December 27, 2018, were each accounted
for under the fair value option (“FVO”) election, wherein, each of the convertible notes were initially measured
at their respective issue-date estimated fair value and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at
each reporting period date, with the resulting fair value adjustment recognized as other income (expense) in the unaudited
condensed consolidated statement of operations.
There
were no fair value measurements as of March 31, 2021 as each of the convertible notes were repaid-in-full as of March 31, 2020 (as discussed
herein below in Note 6, Debt ). The estimated fair value of each of the convertible notes as of December 31, 2020, were computed
using a Monte Carlo simulation of the present value of its cash flows using a synthetic credit rating analysis and a required rate-of-return,
and were therefore classified within the Level 3 category, as the fair value was determined using both observable inputs and unobservable
inputs. Unrealized gains and losses associated with liabilities within the Level 3 category include changes in fair value attributable
to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long- dated volatilities)
inputs.
The
estimated fair values reported utilized the Company’s common stock price along with certain Level 3 inputs, as discussed
above, in the development of Monte Carlo simulation models, discounted cash flow analyses, and /or Black-Scholes valuation models. The
estimated fair values are subjective and are affected by changes in inputs to the valuation models /analyses, including the Company’s
common stock price, the Company’s dividend yield, the risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields, and certain other
Level-3 inputs including, assumptions regarding the estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s common stock price. Changes
in these assumptions can materially affect the estimated fair values.

Lucid
Diagnostics Inc. 2018 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan – Restricted Stock Awards
On
March 1, 2021, a total of 1,040,000 restricted stock awards were granted under the Lucid Diagnostics Inc. 2018 Equity Plan to
employees of PAVmed Inc., a member of the board of directors of Lucid Diagnostics Inc. (who is also a member of the board of directors
of PAVmed Inc.), and to each of the three physician inventors of the intellectual property licensed under the CWRU License Agreement,
with such restricted stock awards having a single vesting date of March 1, 2023, and an aggregate grant date fair value of approximately
$18.9 million, measured as discussed below, with such aggregate estimated fair value recognized as stock-based compensation
expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is commensurate with the service period. The restricted
stock awards are subject to forfeiture if the requisite service period is not completed. Subsequent to March 31, 2021, as of
May 14, 2021, a total of 65,000 restricted stock awards were granted under the Lucid Diagnostics Inc 2018 Equity Plan.
The estimated fair
value of the restricted stock awards granted under the Lucid Diagnostics Inc. 2018 Equity Plan, as discussed above, was determined
using a probability-weighted average expected return methodology (“PWERM”), which involves the determination of equity
value under various exit scenarios and an estimation of the return to the common stockholders under each scenario. In this regard,
the Lucid Diagnostics Inc. common stock grant-date estimated fair value was based upon an analysis of future values, assuming
various outcomes, based upon the probability-weighted present value of expected future investment returns, considering each of
the possible future outcomes available to Lucid Diagnostics Inc.
The
PWERM principally involved (i) the identification of scenarios and related probabilities; (ii) determine the equity value under
each scenario; and (iii) determine the common stock shareholders’ return in each scenario. The two scenarios identified
were an initial public offering (“IPO”) of Lucid Diagnostics Inc. common stock (“IPO scenario”); and,
to continue on as a private company (“stay private scenario”). With respect to the IPO scenario, the valuation of
the Lucid Diagnostics Inc. common stock was computed using assumptions, including dates of the IPO, to calculate an estimated
pre-money valuation; and, with respect to the stay private scenario, an income approach was used, wherein a risk-adjusted discount
rate is applied to projected future cash flows. A relative weighting of 75% was applied to the IPO scenario and 25% was assigned
to the stay private scenario.

Overview

GI
Health
EsoGuard,
EsoCheck, and EsoCure
EsoGuard
and EsoCheck are based on patented technology licensed from Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”) through our majority-owned
subsidiary Lucid Diagnostics Inc. EsoGuard and EsoCheck have been developed to provide an accurate, non-invasive, patient-friendly screening
test for the early detection of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus (“EAC”) and Barrett’s Esophagus (“BE”),
including dysplasia and related pre-cursors to EAC in patients with chronic gastroesophageal reflux (“GERD”). EsoCure is
based on our patented Caldus Technology and is being developed by us to treat BE.
EsoGuard
is a molecular diagnostic esophageal DNA test shown in a published human study to be highly accurate at detecting BE, as well as EAC.
EsoCheck is a non-invasive cell collection device designed to sample cells from a targeted region of the esophagus in a five-minute office-based
procedure, without the need for endoscopy. Both EsoGuard and EsoCheck are commercially available, as separately marketed products, for
physicians to prescribe for U.S. patients.
EsoCure
is in development as an “Esophageal Ablation Device” with the intent to allow a clinician to treat dysplastic BE before it
can progress to EAC, a highly lethal esophageal cancer, and to do so without the need for complex and expensive capital equipment. We
have successfully completed a pre-clinical feasibility animal study of EsoCure demonstrating excellent, controlled circumferential ablation
of the esophageal mucosal lining. We plan to conduct additional development work and animal testing of EsoCure to support a planned FDA
510(k) submission in early 2022.
We
are currently marketing the EsoGuard diagnostic LDT through a network of independent representatives working with our in-house sales
management. The U.S. Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) finalized the Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule determination
for the EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test (CPT code 0114U) in the amount of $1,938.10, with such reimbursement expected to be applicable from
January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023. In addition, we have entered into a manufacturing agreement with medical device contract manufacturer
Coastline International Inc. to serve as a high-volume, lower-cost manufacturer of the EsoCheck device.
Our
longer-term strategy is to secure a specific indication, based on published guidelines, for BE screening in certain at-risk populations
using EsoGuard on samples collected with EsoCheck. This use of EsoGuard together with EsoCheck as a screening system must be cleared
or approved by the FDA as an in vitro diagnostic (“IVD”), device. In September 2019, we entered into an agreement with a
clinical research organization to assist us with two ongoing clinical trials for EsoGuard as an IVD device, which are actively enrolling
patients and consist of a screening study (ESOGUARD-BE-1) and a case control study (ESOGUARD-BE-2).
In
February 2020, we received a FDA “Breakthrough Device Designation” for EsoGuard as an IVD device. The FDA Breakthrough Device
Program was created to offer patients more timely access to breakthrough technologies which provide for more effective treatment or diagnosis
of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating human disease or conditions by expediting their development, assessment and review through
enhanced communications and more efficient and flexible clinical study design, including more favorable pre/post market data collection
balance. Breakthrough Devices receive priority FDA review, and a bipartisan bill before Congress (H.R. 5333) seeks to require Medicare
to temporarily cover all Breakthrough Devices for three years while determining permanent coverage.
We
have received ISO 13485:2016 certification for Lucid Diagnostics quality management system and filed a European Union CE Mark regulatory
submission for EsoCheck in November 2020, having confirmed that EsoGuard falls under the self-declaration category of the European Union
regulatory requirements

Minimally
Invasive Interventions
CarpX
CarpX
is a minimally invasive surgical device for use in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome which received FDA 510(k) marketing clearance
in April 2020, with the first commercial procedure successfully performed in December 2020.
We
believe CarpX is designed to allow the physician to relieve the compression on the median nerve without an open incision or the need
for endoscopic or other imaging equipment. To use CarpX, the operator first advances a guidewire through the carpal tunnel under the
ligament, and then advanced over the wire and positioned in the carpal tunnel under ultrasonic and/or fluoroscopic guidance. When the
CarpX balloon is inflated it creates tension in the ligament positioning the cutting electrodes underneath it and creates space within
the tunnel, providing anatomic separation between the target ligament and critical structures such as the median nerve. Radiofrequency
energy is briefly delivered to the electrodes, rapidly cutting the ligament, and relieving the pressure on the nerve. We believe CarpX
will be significantly less invasive than existing treatments.
We
are commercializing CarpX through a network of independent U.S. sales representatives and/or inventory-stocking medical distributors
together with our in-house sales management and marketing teams. Our focus on CarpX, and other high margin products and services, is
particularly suitable to this mode of distribution. A high gross margin allows us to properly incentivize our distributors, which in
turn allows us to attract the top distributors with the most robust networks in our targeted specialties. Independent distributors play
an even larger role in many parts of Europe, most of Asia and emerging markets worldwide.
We
may eventually choose to build (or obtain through a strategic acquisition) our own sales and marketing team to commercialize CarpX, along
with some or all of our products, if it is in our long-term interests. We may also choose to enter into distribution agreements with
larger strategic partners whereby we take full responsibility for the manufacturing of CarpX but outsource some or all of its distribution
to a partner, particularly outside the United States, with its own robust distribution channels.
We
have received ISO 13485:2016 certification for PAVmed’s quality management system and filed a European Union CE Mark regulatory
submission for CarpX in December 2020.

Infusion
Therapy
PortIO
PortIO
is a novel, patented, implantable, intraosseous vascular access device which does not require accessing the central venous system and
does not have an indwelling intravascular component. It is designed to be highly resistant to occlusion and may not require regular flushing.
It features simplified, near-percutaneous insertion and removal, without the need for surgical dissection or radiographic confirmation.
It provides a near limitless number of potential access sites and can be used in patients with chronic total occlusion of their central
veins. The absence of an intravascular component will likely result in a very low infection rate.
Based
on encouraging animal data, we are preparing to initiate a long-term (60-day implant duration) first-in-human clinical study in dialysis
patients or those with poor venous access in Colombia, South America and intend to fulfill the likely FDA request for human clinical
data with a clinical safety study in the U.S. following FDA clearance of our Investigational Device Exemption (“IDE”) submission
to begin clinical testing in dialysis patients to support a future de novo regulatory submission.
NextFlo
NextFlo
is a patented, disposable, and highly accurate infusion platform technology including intravenous (“IV”) infusion
sets and disposable infusion pumps designed to eliminate the need for complex and expensive electronic infusion pumps for most of the
estimated one million infusions of fluids, medications and other substances delivered each day in hospitals and outpatient settings in
the U.S. NextFlo is designed to deliver highly accurate gravity-driven infusions independent of the height of the IV bag. It maintains
constant flow by incorporating a proprietary, passive, pressure-dependent variable flow-resistor consisting entirely of inexpensive,
easy-to-manufacture disposable mechanical parts. NextFlo testing has demonstrated constant flow rates across a wide range of IV bag heights,
with accuracy rates comparable to electronic infusion pumps.
We
are seeking a long-term strategic partnership or acquiror. We have been running a formal M&A process for NextFlo targeting strategic
and financial partners. The process is active with ongoing discussion with multiple parties and we are simultaneously progressing toward
an initial FDA 510(k) submission for the NextFlo IV Infusion System planned for later in 2021.
Emerging
Innovations
Emerging
Innovations include a diversified and expanding portfolio of innovative products designed to address unmet clinical needs across a broad
range of clinical conditions. We are evaluating a number of these product opportunities and intellectual property covering a wide spectrum
of clinical conditions, which have either been developed internally or have been presented to us by clinician innovators and academic
medical institutions for consideration of a partnership to develop and commercialize these products. This collection of products includes,
without limitation, initiatives in non-invasive laser-based glucose monitoring, mechanical circulatory support cannulas, single-use ventilators
and resorbable pediatric ear tubes. In June 2020, we announced the execution of a letter of intent to consummate a series of agreements
to develop and utilize Canon Virginia’s commercial grade and scalable aqueous silk fibroin molding process to manufacture PAVmed’s
DisappEAR molded pediatric ear tubes for commercialization. Furthermore, we are exploring other opportunities to grow our business and
enhance shareholder value through the acquisition of pre-commercial or commercial stage products and/or companies with potential strategic
corporate and commercial synergies .

Impact
of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Previously,
in December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of a coronavirus occurred. The coronavirus spread on a global basis to other countries,
including the United States. On March 11, 2020, the United Nations World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared
a pandemic resulting from the spread of the coronavirus, with such pandemic commonly referred to by its resulting illness,
“COVID-19”. The COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, and we continue to monitor the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
on the United States national economy, the global economy, and our business.
The
COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse impact on our operations, supply chains, and distribution systems and /or those of our contractors
of our laboratory partner, and increase our expenses, including as a result of impacts associated with preventive and precautionary measures
being taken, restrictions on travel, quarantine polices, and social distancing. Such adverse impact may include, for example, the inability
of our employees and /or those of our contractors or laboratory partner to perform their work or curtail their services provided to us.
We
expect the significance of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the extent of its effect on our consolidated financial condition and consolidated
operational results and cash flows, to be dictated by the success of United States and global efforts to mitigate the spread of and /or
to contain the coronavirus and the impact of such efforts.
In
addition, the spread of the coronavirus has disrupted the United States’ healthcare and healthcare regulatory systems which
could divert healthcare resources away from, or materially delay FDA approval with respect to our products.
Furthermore,
our clinical trials have been and may be further affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, as site initiation and patient enrollment may be
delayed, for example, due to prioritization of hospital resources toward the virus and /or illness response, as well as travel restrictions
imposed by governments, and the inability to access clinical test sites for initiation and monitoring.
The
COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the United States,
resulting in an economic downturn that could adversely affect demand for our products and services and /or our product candidates.
Although
we are continuing to monitor and assess the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
(or a similar health epidemic) is highly uncertain and subject to change, and therefore, its impact on our consolidated financial condition,
consolidated results of operations, and /or consolidated cash flows, the adverse impact could be material.
