NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 — Organization, Description of Business,
Going Concern and Significant Risks and Uncertainties
Description of Business
Profusa, Inc. (the “Company”), originally
incorporated in California on May 11, 2009 , develops biointegrated sensors designed to provide continuous, clinical-grade monitoring
of body chemistry for personal and medical use.
The Company’s first offering in the European
Union, the Lumee™ Oxygen Platform, monitors tissue oxygen levels and is intended for applications such as peripheral artery disease,
chronic wounds (including diabetic ulcers and pressure sores), and reconstructive surgery. The Company’s research and development
efforts are primarily focused on the Lumee™ Glucose Platform, a continuous glucose monitor (“CGM”) consisting of a
biocompatible gel injected under the skin that monitors interstitial glucose levels for several months from a single injection, offering
an alternative to traditional finger-stick glucometers and short-term needle-type CGMs.
On July 11, 2025 (the “Closing Date”),
NorthView Acquisition Corporation (“Northview”) consummated its business combination (the “Business Combination”)
with Profusa, Inc., a California corporation (“Legacy Profusa”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization,
dated November 7, 2022 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), among Northview, Legacy Profusa, and NV Profusa Merger Sub Inc.,
a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary of Northview (“Merger Sub”). At closing, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Profusa
(the “Merger”), with Legacy Profusa surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northview. In connection with the closing,
Northview changed its name to “Profusa, Inc.”
Going Concern
The Company has incurred significant net operating
losses from operations. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $ 28.4 million. For the
three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred a net loss of $ 3.5 million and used $ 2.6 million of cash in operating activities.
Management expects to continue to incur additional substantial losses in the foreseeable future as a result of research and development
activities. The Company has been able to finance its operations primarily with the proceeds from the issuance of equity and debt instruments
and to a lesser extent, revenue from government grants. Additional funds may be necessary to maintain current operations and will be
required for successful product commercialization efforts.
On February 11, 2025, Northview executed a Securities
Purchase Agreement (the “PIPE Subscription Agreement”) with Ascent Partners Fund LLC (“Ascent” or together with
any party who may become party to the PIPE Subscription Agreement, the “PIPE Investors”). Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the
Company amended the remaining borrowing capacity under the PIPE Subscription Agreement to $ 12.2 million in principal, and issued $ 1.7
million of Ascent PIPE Notes. As of the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has $ 10.5 million
of principal available for draw down under the PIPE Subscription Agreement subject to certain conditions.
5
On July 28, 2025 (the “effective date”),
the Company entered into the Equity Line of Credit (“ELOC”) Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ELOC Purchase Agreement”)
and the ELOC Registration Rights Agreement (the “ELOC Registration Rights Agreement”) with Ascent (the “Committed Equity
Facility”). Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in the PIPE Subscription Agreement, from
and after the effective date, the Company will have the right, in its sole discretion, to sell to Ascent up to $ 100.0 million of shares
of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain limitations set forth in the ELOC Purchase Agreement, from time to time during
the term of the ELOC Purchase Agreement. Sales of common stock under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any such sales, are
solely at the Company’s option, and the Company is under no obligation to sell any securities to Ascent under the ELOC Purchase
Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, approximately $ 0.5 million in shares of the Company’s common stock were sold
pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement. The Company has entered into this strategic Committed Equity Facility in order to continue to
fund its operating cash flows. During April and May 2026, the Company issued 360,000 shares of common stock to Ascent in exchange for
$ 0.4 million under the Committed Equity Facility. As of the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the
Company has $ 88.9 million of common stock available for issuance to Ascent under the Committed Equity Facility.
Lumee Oxygen received regulatory approval in
Europe through the attainment of a CE mark, which subsequently lapsed in 2020. The Company is working to obtain a renewed CE Mark for
commercialization in Europe in order to generate revenues in 2026. In addition to management’s focus on commercialization, additional
financing is available through the ELOC Purchase Agreement and executing remaining tranches of the PIPE Subscription Agreement which
would provide an aggregate of up to an additional $ 10.0 million in cash for operating expenses to further the product research and
development.
On September 11, 2025, the Company received two
deficiency notices from Nasdaq for failing to maintain (i) a $ 50.0 million market value of listed securities under Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A)
(the “MVLS Requirement”) and (ii) a minimum bid price of $ 1.00 per share under Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Minimum
Bid Price Requirement”). The Company was provided 180 days, through March 10, 2026, to regain compliance.
On March 11, 2026, Nasdaq notified the Company
that it had not regained compliance with either the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or the MVLS Requirement by the March 10, 2026 deadline,
and that its securities were therefore subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market on both grounds. The Company appealed the delisting
determination, and on March 19, 2026, Nasdaq notified the Company that the delisting action had been stayed pending the appeal. The Company
attended its hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel on April 21, 2026. The Nasdaq Hearings Panel represents an independent hearings
panel of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC that reviews, upon a company’s timely request, certain determinations by Nasdaq’s Listing
Qualifications Department, including a staff delisting determination, denial of a listing application, or public reprimand letter, and
may issue a decision granting continued listing relief or affirming delisting. See Note 13 for further details over the Nasdaq Hearings
Panel’s decision which granted the Company a continued listing relief.
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities
in the normal course of business. The Company has reviewed the relevant conditions and events surrounding its ability to continue as
a going concern including among others: historical losses, projected future results, increased tariffs, cash requirements for the upcoming
year, funding capacity, net working capital deficit, and future access to capital.
As of March 31, 2026, there continues to
be factors which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date
the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
6
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Profusa and its wholly-owned subsidiary. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)
for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The financial statements include
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that management believes are necessary for the fair statement of the
Company’s financial information. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal
year or any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
The interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained
in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Reverse Stock Split
On February 9, 2026, the Company effected a 1-for-75
reverse stock split of its common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value
of the common stock or the authorized number of shares of common stock. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted
to reflect the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial
statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the condensed consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company regularly assesses these estimates, including those related to accrued liabilities,
valuation of the convertible notes payable and loans payable at fair value, warrants, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, incremental
borrowing rate, and valuation of stock-based awards. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be
material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Segment Information
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC
280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available that is evaluated
regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The Company operates as a single operating segment. The Company’s CODM is the chief executive officer, who has ultimate responsibility
for the operating performance of the Company and the allocation of resources. The CODM uses cash flows as the primary measure to manage
the business and does not segment the business for internal reporting or decision making.
7
Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified
to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassification had no impact on loss from operations, net loss, net loss per share,
total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ deficit, or cash flows.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026,
the Company reclassified amounts previously presented as interest expense related to the Company’s convertible debt held at fair
value to change in fair value of convertible notes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company also reclassified
related party note payables from convertible notes and loans payable at fair value and promissory notes and other into convertible and
promissory notes payable to related parties on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These reclassification were not material to
the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is or
contains a lease at inception by evaluating various factors, including if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified
asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration and other facts and circumstances. Lease classification is determined at the
lease commencement date. Lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are recognized at commencement
date and recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The implicit rates within the Company’s
operating leases are generally not determinable and therefore the Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement
date to determine the present value of lease payments. The determination of the incremental borrowing rate requires judgment. The Company
determines the incremental borrowing rate for each lease using an estimated borrowing rate, adjusted for various factors including level
of collateralization and term to align with the terms of the lease. The ROU asset also might include lease prepayments, offset by lease
incentives. Certain leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease
when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option.
The Company has made accounting policy elections
to (i) not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases (leases with lease terms of 12 months or less); and (ii) combine
lease and non-lease components. Variable lease payments are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations when incurred
and include certain non-lease components, such as maintenance and other services provided by the lessor to the extent the charges are
variable. The cash flow impact from the change in operating lease right-of-use asset and the operating lease liability during the three
months ended March 31, 2026 is presented within the change in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows.
ELOC
On July 28, 2025, the Company entered into the
ELOC Purchase Agreement and a related registration rights agreement with Ascent. Subject to the terms and conditions of the ELOC Purchase
Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $ 100.0 million of shares of its common stock to Ascent from
time to time at a discount to the lowest daily volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock,
subject to specified caps and limitations.
The ELOC comprises
a purchased put option and a forward share issuance that do not qualify for equity classification. Accordingly, the ELOC is measured
at fair value, with changes between the put date and settlement date recognized in earnings. During the three months ended March 31,
2026 , ELOC puts were settled within the same day, and the resulting changes in fair value were not
material. Proceeds received upon the Company’s draws under the ELOC and the related share issuances are recognized in equity based
on the gross proceeds received.
The Company issued warrants to purchase up to
12,000 shares of common stock (the “ELOC Warrants”) on July 20, 2025 in consideration for Ascent’s commitment. The
ELOC Warrants were determined to be equity-classified and were expensed as financing fees along with other issuance costs associated
with the ELOC. The ELOC Warrants were fair valued at $ 0.9 million and were not remeasured after the initial issuance.
8
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist
of accounts payable, warrant liabilities, promissory notes, loans payable, convertible promissory notes and senior notes. The Company
states accounts payable, promissory notes and senior notes at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time
to the expected payment. See Note 3 for instruments valued under Level 3.
Ascent PIPE Notes
In connection with the Business Combination,
the Company assumed the rights and obligations under the PIPE Subscription Agreement, which provides for the issuance of Senior Secured
Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Ascent PIPE Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 22.2 million. At Closing
Date, the Company elected the fair value option (“FVO”) under ASC 825, Financial Instruments to recognize the issued Ascent
PIPE Notes. Accordingly, no features of the Ascent PIPE Notes are bifurcated and separately accounted for.
In accordance with ASC 825, the FVO is applied
to all outstanding Ascent PIPE Notes as a single unit, and is irrevocable once elected. At each reporting date, the Ascent PIPE Notes
are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings, except for the portion attributable to instrument-specific
credit risk, which is presented in other comprehensive income. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not record
any changes in fair value to other comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2026, the Ascent PIPE Notes are included in convertible
notes payable and loans payable at fair value within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense related to stock
options granted to employees and non-employees is recognized based on the grant date estimated fair values using the Black Scholes option
pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite
service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Option valuation models, including the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model, require the input of highly subjective assumptions, and changes in the assumptions used can materially affect the grant-date fair
value of an award. These assumptions include the risk-free rate of interest, expected dividend yield, expected volatility, and the expected
life of the award. Since the Company did not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise
behavior, the expected term for options issued to employees was calculated as the mean of the option vesting period and contractual term
(the “Simplified Method”). The expected term for options issued to non-employees is the contractual term.
9
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently issued accounting standards not
yet adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”). ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses
for public business entities. ASU 2024-03 does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement;
rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial
statements. As revised by ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures,
the provisions of ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. With the exception of expanding disclosures to include more granular
income statement expense categories, the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a material effect on its condensed
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10,
Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. ASU 2025-10 established authoritative
guidance for the accounting for a government grant received by a business entity, including guidance for a grant related to an asset
and a grant related to income. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim
reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on its condensed
consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11,
Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. ASU 2025-11 clarifies the applicability of interim reporting guidance under
GAAP, provides a comprehensive list of interim disclosure requirements within Topic 270, and introduces a disclosure principle requiring
entities to provide information about events and changes occurring after the end of the most recent annual reporting period that have
a material impact on the entity. The ASU does not change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce existing interim
disclosure requirements. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2027 for public business entities, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance
on its interim financial reporting and related disclosures.
Recently adopted accounting standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04,
Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments. The guidance
in ASU 2024-04 clarifies the requirements related to accounting for the settlement of a debt instrument as an induced conversion when
changes are made to conversion features as part of an offer to settle the instrument. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning
after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to any settlements of
convertible debt instruments that occur after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in
the financial statements, with a cumulative adjustment-effect adjustment to equity. The Company adopted ASU 2024-04 as of January 1,
2026 on a prospective basis, which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 — Fair Value Measurement
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value
on a recurring basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the
inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair
value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The authoritative guidance on fair value
measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs
are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the
measurement date;
Level 2 — Inputs
are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities,
unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are
not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market
data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and
Level 3 — Unobservable
inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities
that are supported by little or no market data.
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes
valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as
well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value
are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s
assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments
and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.
The Company measures certain financial instruments
at fair value using valuation techniques that require the use of observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, including, as applicable,
risk-free interest rates, expected terms, expected volatility, credit risk, market yields, conversion or exercise prices, the fair value
of the Company’s common stock, and other instrument-specific terms and market inputs. The risk-free interest rate for each applicable
financial instrument is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect as of the valuation date for a term commensurate with the expected
term, contractual term, or estimated settlement period of the instrument, as applicable. Expected volatility, when applicable, may differ
among financial instruments due to differences in expected terms, contractual maturities, settlement provisions, conversion or exercise
features, valuation methodologies, market inputs, and the historical periods used to estimate volatility.

The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation
model for the warrant liabilities, as affected by the Reverse Stock Split, were as follows at March 31, 2026 and December 31,
2025:
Each warrant entitles the registered holder to
purchase one seventy-fifth (1/75) of one share of our common stock at a price of $ 862.50 per whole share. Pursuant to the warrant agreement,
a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of common stock. This means only a number of warrants that
in the aggregate equal a whole number of shares may be exercised at a given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be
issued and only whole warrants will trade.

Convertible notes payable, related party
The Tasly Convertible Note and the Convertible
Promissory Note - Related Party (collectively “Related Party Convertible Notes Payable”) were valued using a Probability
Weighted Expected Return Model to fair value the convertible note. The intrinsic conversion value as of March 31, 2026 was $ 0 for
the Related Party Convertible Notes Payable. As of March 31, 2026, the Tasly Convertible Note has matured and is payable at the
principal amounts plus accrued interest. Therefore, the fair value of the note is the face amount of the debt, and as of March 31,
2026, the accrued interest was added to the liability balance.

Loans Payable
The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model
to value the Loans Payable, which represents the issued Ascent PIPE Notes. The Loans Payable were classified within Level 3 of the fair
value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs. Inherent in pricing models are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility,
expected life and risk-free interest rate. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on historical volatility that
matches the expected remaining life of the loans payable. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield
curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the loans. The expected life of the loans are assumed
to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term.
The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation
model for the Loans Payable were as follows at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

date by the number of shares of common stock issued upon settlement.
Loss on change in the fair value of convertible
notes on the condensed consolidated statements of operations comprise of the change in fair value of the Company’s convertible
notes and its related accrued interest on the convertible notes. As of March 31, 2026, the Loans Payable is due within 12 months
of the balance sheet date and is therefore recorded in convertible notes payable and loans payable at fair value on the condensed consolidated
balance sheets.
Digital Asset
On March 11, 2026, the Company’s management
made the determination to terminate the Company’s Bitcoin treasury reserve strategy in light of current market conditions and the
Company’s evaluation of its capital allocation priorities. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company sold 16.51
Bitcoins for an aggregate amount of $ 1.2 million, resulting in realized losses of $ 0.3 million included in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, digital assets were $ 0 and $ 1.4 million, respectively.

Convertible Notes
Loans Payable
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had issued
an aggregate principal of $ 12.2 million of Ascent PIPE Notes. The outstanding Ascent PIPE Notes bear interest at 10 % per annum on the
outstanding unconverted principal balance. A minimum interest amount equal to 10 % of the original principal is fully earned at issuance,
reduced by interest subsequently accrued. Cash payments are subject to a 5 % fee. Upon an event of default, the interest rate increases
to 24 % per annum and a 10 % late fee applies to overdue amounts. The Ascent PIPE Notes may be prepaid upon 10 business days’ prior
notice (absent an event of default), subject to Ascent’s conversion rights, and requires mandatory prepayment upon Subsequent Offerings,
as defined by the PIPE Subscription Agreement. Conversion is subject to a beneficial ownership cap of 9.99 %.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026,
the Company repaid $ 0.2 million of principal on the Ascent PIPE Notes and Ascent converted an aggregate of $ 1.1 million of principal
and accrued interest balance into 826,532 shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares of common stock issued had a fair value
of $ 1.3 million at conversion.
The Company elected to apply the fair value option
to account for the Ascent PIPE Notes and as such, no features of the Ascent PIPE Notes are bifurcated and separately accounted for. As
of March 31, 2026, the loans payable had a fair value of $ 7.0 million and it was reclassified from non-current liabilities into
Convertible notes and loans payable at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, as the loan is due within 12 months from
the balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2025, the loans payable was fair valued at $ 7.9
million and was classified as long-term in the condensed consolidated balance sheets under Loans payable at fair value. As of March 31,
2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had accrued interest of $ 0.5 million and $ 0.7 million on the loans payable.
Tasly Convertible Note - Related Party
In June 2023, the Company entered into a short-term
loan agreement with a related party for borrowings of up to $ 1.6 million, the full amount of which had been drawn by February 2024.
The loans bear interest at a rate of 12 % per
annum and originally matured on December 31, 2023 . The original maturity date was extended to March 31, 2024, subject to the parties’
decision to extend thereafter. Upon an event of default, the interest rate increases to 24 % per annum until the payment date. The lender
has the option to convert the entire outstanding balance and accrued but unpaid interest under the Tasly Convertible Note into either
(i) senior unsecured promissory notes on substantially the same terms as the outstanding Senior Notes, or (ii) the Company’s common
stock at a conversion price of $ 144.00 per share, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split.
16
The Company elected to apply the fair value option
to account for the Tasly Convertible Note and as such, no features of the Tasly Convertible Note are bifurcated and separately accounted
for. The fair value of the Tasly Convertible Note was $ 2.5 million and $ 2.3 million, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31,
2025. There was accrued interest of $ 0.9 million and $ 0.7 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively,
on the Tasly Convertible Note.
The intrinsic conversion value as of March 31,
2026 and December 31, 2025 was $ 0 , because the note is in default as the maturity date has passed. The fair value of the Tasly Convertible
Note is the face amount of the debt plus accrued interest which is recorded as a liability above the face amount of the debt and is recorded
under convertible notes payable and promissory notes payable to related parties on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Convertible Promissory Note – Related
Party
The Company now holds the convertible working
capital promissory note which was previously held by Northview Acquisition Corporation with NorthView Sponsor I, LLC, the sponsor of NorthView
(the “Sponsor”) for up to $ 2.5 million. The related party convertible promissory note is non-interest bearing and became convertible
on the Closing Date. The Sponsor may elect to convert all or any portion of the unpaid principal balance of this Note into warrants, at
a price of $ 75.00 per warrant. The note also allows for the conversion of the outstanding principal balance to be repaid in shares of
the Company’s common stock at a price of $ 166.50 per share at the election of the Sponsor, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split. On
March 20, 2026, the related party convertible promissory note was amended to extend the maturity date from January 11, 2026 to December
31, 2026. The Company elected to apply the fair value option to account for the convertible promissory note and as such, no features of
the convertible promissory note are bifurcated and separately accounted for. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the
convertible promissory note fair value of $ 1.9 million was classified under convertible notes payable and promissory notes payable to
related parties on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Junior Convertible Notes
The annual effective interest rate for the junior
convertible notes was estimated between 12.61 % to 12.15 % per year for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The interest expense for
the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $ 0.5 million. The junior convertible notes were converted into 37,356 shares of the Company’s
common stock based on $ 19.6 million of principal and accrued interest as of the Closing Date, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split.
Senior Notes
As of March 31, 2026, the outstanding balance
of Senior Notes is less than $ 0.1 million, all of which is with unrelated parties. The Company is currently in default; accordingly,
the Company classified the entire outstanding amount under convertible notes payable and loans payable at fair value on the condensed
consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2025, $ 9.7 million of the $ 26.6 million of Senior Notes is outstanding with related parties.
The annual effective interest rate of Senior Notes was estimated from 0% to 12.15 % for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The annual
effective interest rate on the Senior Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was not meaningful due to the immaterial outstanding
balance. The interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was not material and $ 0.6 million, respectively.
17
Promissory Notes
The carrying value of the promissory notes as
of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $ 1.0 million representing past due amounts because the maturity dates of the promissory
notes has passed. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, outstanding balance of promissory notes due to related parties
was $ 0.4 million, and are classified under convertible notes payable and promissory notes payable to related parties and the remainder
is classified under promissory notes and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest expense on the Company’s promissory
notes was less than $ 0.1 million for three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”)
The Company applied for forgiveness of the 2nd
PPP Loan in December 2025 and was notified in February 2026 that the loan had been forgiven. The Company recognized a gain on the extinguishment
of the 2nd PPP Loan of $ 1.4 million within Gain on extinguishment of PPP loan in the condensed consolidated statements of operations
during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Interest expense on the PPP loan for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was
not material.
Director and Officer (D&O) Insurance
Financing
During the three months ended March 31, 2026,
the Company made aggregate payments of $ 0.2 million against the obligation and recognized approximately $ 0.3 million of insurance expense
and an immaterial amount of interest expense. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the remaining financing obligation
was $ 0.1 million and $ 0.3 million, respectively, which is recorded under promissory notes and other on the Company’s condensed

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Lease Obligations
On January 27, 2026, the Company executed a 15
month lease agreement for its office and lab facilities for a total consideration of $ 0.3 million to be paid over the lease term. The
incremental borrowing rate estimated at the lease commencement date was determined to be 11.45 %. The lease terminates at the end of February
2027. Concurrently, the Company executed sublease agreements with sublessees for a six month period for a portion of the leased space.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, operating
lease expense and sublease income was $ 0.1 million and $ 0.1 million, respectively. Variable lease expense for the same period was not
material. Sublease income was recorded in other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the
Company recognized an aggregate of $ 0.2 million in lease expense for $ 0.1 million in short-term lease expense and variable lease costs
respectively.
As of March 31, 2026, the operating lease
right-of-use asset of $ 0.1 million was recognized within right-of-use asset on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As of March 31, 2026, the operating lease liability of $ 0.2 million is recognized within accrued expenses and other current liabilities
on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Contingencies and Indemnifications
From time to time, the Company may have certain
contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. The Company accrues a liability for such matters
when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and that such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment
is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount.
Under an advisory agreement with The Benchmark
Company, LLC, the Company may be required to pay up to an additional $ 0.3 million in advisory fees. As of the balance sheet date, this
amount represents a contingent commitment that has not been recorded as a liability, as the amount payable is currently not estimable,
as it may be reduced by future services performed under the agreement.
In the normal course of business, the Company
enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnifications.
The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the
future, but that have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not paid any claims; however, the Company may record charges in the
future as a result of these indemnification obligations.
In December 2025, the Company received a Notice
of Entry of Judgment in connection with litigation brought by a vendor with claims for breach of contract, which was ruled in favor of
the vendor. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had accrued approximately $ 0.1 million related to the matter.
In February 2026, the Company received a demand
letter from counsel for a former employee for unpaid wages of approximately $ 0.2 million, including statutory penalties, and the amount
has been accrued as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The letter demands payment and states that litigation may be initiated
if the matter is not resolved.
Mayo Clinic License Agreement
On February 11, 2026, the Company entered into
a know-how license agreement (the “License Agreement”), with Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (“Mayo”).
Pursuant to the License Agreement, Mayo granted the Company an exclusive, worldwide license, with the right to sublicense, under certain
patent rights that may arise during the term of the License Agreement, and a non-exclusive, worldwide license, with the right to sublicense,
to certain know-how, in each case in the fields of continuous oxygen measurement and critical limb-threatening ischemia. Mayo retains
certain customary reserved rights, including rights related to educational, research and clinical programs.
19
Under the License Agreement, beginning with the
first commercial sale of a licensed product, the Company is required to pay Mayo earned royalties on net sales of licensed products.
The applicable royalty rates vary based on the licensed field and the type of intellectual property coverage applicable to the licensed
product. The Company is also obligated to make nonrefundable milestone payments to Mayo upon the first achievement of specified commercial,
regulatory and clinical events for each licensed product and to pay Mayo a percentage of certain sublicense income received by the Company.
As of March 31, 2026, no commercial sales, milestone events or sublicense income had occurred under the License Agreement, and no
amounts were due to Mayo.
The License Agreement contains customary provisions
regarding diligence, confidentiality, use of name, representations and warranties, disclaimers, indemnification, insurance, compliance
with applicable laws and termination rights. Unless earlier terminated, the License Agreement expires upon the later of the expiration
of the last-to-expire licensed foreground patent right or the fifteenth anniversary of the first commercial sale of the last launched
licensed product. Upon expiration of the Company’s obligation to pay earned royalties, and subject to the Company’s compliance
with its obligations, the Company will have a fully paid-up license.

Note 11 — Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common
Stockholders
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing
net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. In periods of net loss, the two-class
method requires that losses be allocated only to common shareholders. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not include
dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted-average shares outstanding, as the inclusion of common stock equivalents would be antidilutive.
The common stock equivalents consist of stock options, convertible notes and loans payable, warrants, and earn-out shares. Accordingly,
for the periods presented in which the Company incurred a net loss, basic and diluted EPS are the same.
The following table sets forth the computation
of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Nasdaq Letters
On April 28, 2026, Nasdaq notified the Company
that it had not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(C), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum market value
of publicly held shares of $ 15.0 million for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market (the “MVPHS Requirement”), by the
applicable compliance deadline of April 27, 2026. Nasdaq further notified the Company that the failure to regain compliance with the MVPHS
Requirement serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from Nasdaq and that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel
will consider this additional deficiency in connection with its determination regarding the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq
Global Market. The Company intends to present its views with respect to this additional deficiency to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel within
the required timeframe. There can be no assurance that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued
listing, that the Company will regain compliance with the MVPHS Requirement within any extension period that may be granted, or that the
Company will otherwise maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards.
On May 6, 2026, Nasdaq notified the Company that
the Nasdaq Hearings Panel had granted the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq, subject to certain conditions. The
Nasdaq Hearings Panel granted the Company an exception to cure its listing deficiencies, including noncompliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule
5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $ 1.00 per share, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), which requires a minimum market
value of listed securities for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. As a condition to the exception, the Company is required
to: (i) on or before May 11, 2026, file an application with Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Staff to transfer its listing to The
Nasdaq Capital Market; (ii) on or before June 5, 2026, obtain stockholder approval for a reverse stock split and advise the Nasdaq Hearings
Panel within 24 hours if such approval is not obtained; (iii) on or before July 6, 2026, demonstrate compliance with the minimum bid price
requirement; and (iv) on or before July 6, 2026, demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq’s stockholders’ equity requirement by
filing a timely public disclosure describing the transactions undertaken by the Company to achieve compliance and demonstrate long-term
compliance with the equity requirement, and by providing an indication of its equity following such transactions. The Nasdaq Hearings
Panel also required the Company to provide prompt notification of any significant events that occur during the exception period that may
affect the Company’s compliance with Nasdaq requirements. The Nasdaq Hearings Panel reserved the right to reconsider the terms of
the exception based on any event, condition or circumstance that, in its opinion, would make continued listing of the Company’s
securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted. There can be no assurance that the Company will timely satisfy the conditions of the
exception, regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards, maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing
standards thereafter, or otherwise maintain the listing of its securities on Nasdaq.
On May 13, 2026, the Company received notice
that it will be transferred to The Capital Market as of May 15, 2026.
