ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Executive Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2024. Our objective in designing our disclosure controls and procedures is that they provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives of ensuring that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, due to the existence of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level. As disclosed in our Form 10-Qs for the quarters ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024, for the reasons set forth therein, our Chief Executive Officer and then-Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. In preparation of our financial statements for the period covered by this report, we identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to our control environment that existed as of December 31, 2024, as described below. Specifically, we identified material weaknesses with respect to (1) the lack of segregation of duties, (2) the lack of designed and operating review controls with respect to oversight of the financial reporting process, and (3) review of work performed by service providers with regards to (i) management's provision of inputs for valuations to a third-party provider and (ii) the Section 382 calculation in the tax provision in that the Company's provision did not reference the correct dates when determining ownership changes resulting in material changes in the amount of expiring net operating losses available to be utilized. Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management believes that the Financial Statements and related financial information included in this Annual Report fairly present, in all material respects, our balance sheets, statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows as of and for the periods presented.
Remediation Plan
Management is in the process of developing a remediation plan. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until management designs and implements effective controls that operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective. The Company will monitor the effectiveness of its remediation plans and will make changes management determines to be appropriate. Anticipated remediation measures include continuing assessment of the need to expand the Company’s current accounting and financial reporting teams to include individuals with requisite experience to meet the requirements associated with the increasing operations of a publicly traded company, establishment of policies and procedures to ensure full review and sign offs with respect to the inputs sent to third-party service providers as well as the reports and documentation upon the completion of their work prior to any adjustments being made to the financial statements, and establishment of policies and procedures to review the inputs to fair value and tax provision calculations as well as the outputs impacting the balance at each reporting period. In January 2025, we hired a new Chief Financial Officer and are in the process of establishing additional controls intended to eliminate the disclosed material weaknesses.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, which were identified in connection with management's evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management ’ s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on the assessment, management has concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2024 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, due to the material weaknesses discussed above at “Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.” Our independent registered public accounting firm, WithumSmith+Brown, PC ("Withum"), is not required to and has not issued an attestation report as of December 31, 2024 because we are not an “accelerated filer” or a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Management recognizes that a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. 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 or error, if any, 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 the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

All directors hold office until their successors have been elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. We have divided the terms of office of the directors into three classes with staggered three year terms: Class I, whose term expires at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; Class II, whose term expires at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; and Class III, whose term expires at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Director Compensation
With respect to 2024, the compensation committee and the Board did not retain a compensation consultant in connection with determining compensation of non-employee directors. In January 2024, the compensation committee recommended, and the Board approved, 2024 compensation to all non-employee directors consisting of a cash retainer of $50,000 and an award of non-qualified stock options to purchase 2,500 shares of Company common stock to each non-employee director. Options were granted on January 8, 2024, have a purchase price of $4.00 per share, a 10-year term, and vest quarterly over three years. Then in January 2025, the compensation committee recommended, and the Board approved, that annual cash compensation be reduced from $50,000 to $30,000, effective July 1, 2024, with an adjustment made to the final payment to the non-employee directors for 2024. On January 28, 2025, the compensation committee recommended and granted, and the Board approved, an award of non-qualified stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of Company common stock to each non-employee director. Options were granted on January 29, 2025, have a purchase price of $0.42 per share, a 10-year term, and vested 33.33% on the grant date, with the remainder vesting 33.33% on the first anniversary of the grant date and 33.34% vesting on the second anniversary of the grant date. Retainer cash payments will be paid in cash on or about the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Company in arrears to each non-employee director.
We also reimburse our non-employee directors for reasonable, customary and documented travel expenses to attend meetings of our board of directors and committees of our board of directors.
Our non-employee directors remain eligible to receive equity awards and cash or other compensation outside of the compensation described above, as may be provided from time to time at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

Processes and Procedures for Executive Compensation
The Compensation Committee assists the Board in discharging the Board’s responsibilities relating to oversight of the compensation of the chief executive officer and other executive officers, including reviewing and approving or making recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation, plans, policies and programs for the chief executive officer and other executive officers and administering the equity compensation plans for executive officers and employees.
The Compensation Committee annually reviews the compensation, plans, policies and programs for the chief executive officer and other executive officers. In connection therewith, the Compensation Committee considers, among other things, each executive officer’s performance in light of established individual and corporate goals and objectives and the recommendations of our chief executive officer. In particular, the Compensation Committee considers the recommendations of the chief executive officer when reviewing base salary and incentive performance compensation levels of the executive officers and when setting specific individual and corporate performance targets under the annual incentive bonus plan for the executive officers. While the chief executive officer provides input on his compensation, he does not participate in compensation committee or Board deliberations regarding his own compensation. The Compensation Committee may delegate its authority to a subcommittee, but it may not delegate any power or authority required by agreement, law, regulation or listing standard to be exercised by the Compensation Committee as a whole.

Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Non-Public Information
Option grants to employees, executive officers and non-employee directors are made by the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") under the 2023 Incentive Plan from time to time, as determined by the Committee. The Committee does take material non-public information into account when determining the timing and terms of stock awards, in that if the Company determines that it is in possession of material non-public information on an anticipated grant date, the Committee expects to defer the grant until a date on which the Company is not in possession of material non-public information. The Company does not time the release of material non-public information based on equity award grant dates or for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. For all stock option awards, the exercise price is the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE American on the last trading day preceding the grant date.
The following table presents information regarding stock options issued to our NEOs in fiscal year 2024 during any period beginning four business days before the filing or furnishing of a periodic report or current report disclosing material non-public information and ending one business day after the filings or furnishing of such report with the SEC:

These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities. In addition, the rules include shares of common stock issuable pursuant to: (i) the exercise of stock options that are either immediately exercisable or exercisable on or before May 16,2025, which is 60 days after March 17, 2025 and (ii) outstanding warrants to purchase common stock held by that person that are either immediately exercisable or exercisable on or before May 16, 2025. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those options and warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
Unless otherwise noted below, the address of each of the individuals and entities named in the table below is c/o Catheter Precision, Inc., 1670 Highway 160 West, Suite 205, Fort Mill, South Carolina 29708. Beneficial ownership representing less than 1% is denoted with an asterisk (*).
Unless otherwise indicated, the persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

These securities are directly held by Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the "Master Fund") and may be deemed to be beneficially owned by: (i) Armistice Capital, LLC ("Armistice Capital"), as the investment manager of the Master Fund; and (ii) Steven Boyd, as the Managing Member of Armistice Capital. Certain information was obtained from a Schedule 13G/A filed by the shareholder on February 14, 2025. The precise number of shares beneficially owned by the shareholder depends upon the operation of certain beneficial ownership blockers contained in warrants held by the shareholder and the number of shares outstanding, and therefore may be greater or less than the number presented from time to time. The table does not include those warrants held by the shareholder that are not currently exercisable due to beneficial ownership blockers. The shareholder currently owns Prepaid Series H warrants to receive 657,000 shares of common stock, Prepaid Series I warrants to receive 1,500,000 shares of common stock, Series J warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock and Series K warrants to purchase 8,065,962 shares of common stock. Address of stockholder is 510 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10022.

Outstanding options were issued under the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2018 Plan”) and the Company's 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2023 Plan"). The 2018 Plan was terminated in 2024 and no shares remain available for future issuance.

Under the adjustment features, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2023 Plan increases on the first day of each fiscal quarter (each, an “Adjustment Date”) by an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) 10% of the number equal to the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the applicable Adjustment Date less the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the beginning of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the Adjustment Date, but if such number is a negative number, then the increase will be zero; or (ii) such lesser number of Shares as may be determined by the Board.

“Audit Fees” consist of fees billed for professional services rendered during the respective fiscal year in connection with the audit of our annual financial statements, review of our quarterly financial statements, and services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. This includes consents and other services related to SEC matters and registration statements.
(2)
“Audit-Related Fees” generally include fees incurred for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements but are not otherwise included as Audit Fees.
(3)
“Tax Fees” consist of permissible tax compliance and tax advisory service fees. Withum did not bill us for any tax fees for the year ended December 31, 2024.
(4)
“All Other Fees” consist of fees billed for services other than the services reported in Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees, and Tax Fees.
Auditor Independence
During the year ended December 31, 2024, there were no other professional services provided by Withum that would have required our audit committee to consider their compatibility with maintaining Withum’s independence.
Pre-Approval Policy
Our audit committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent accountants and the related estimated fees. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Our audit committee generally pre-approves particular services or categories of services on a case-by-case basis. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to our audit committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with these pre-approvals, and the fees for the services performed to date. All of Withum’s services to the Company for fiscal year 2024 described above were pre-approved by our audit committee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Catheter Precision, Inc.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Catheter Precision, Inc., (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt Regarding Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations and expects to continue to incur operating losses that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 Catheter Precision, Inc. 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Catheter Precision, Inc. 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Fair Value of Royalties Payable
Description of the Matter
The Company had $9.2 million of royalties payable as of December 31, 2024, based on the fair value of the royalties payable related to the LockeT royalty agreements acquired in connection with the prior year merger. We identified the fair value of royalties payable as a critical audit matter. In determining the fair value, management must generate revenue projections through the expiration of the royalty agreements. They must also calculate a revenue-adjusted discount rate which is then applied to calculate the present value of the royalties payable. There is significant uncertainty associated with the projections due to limited sales history available as the related product only began sales in the current year. In addition, the calculation of the discount rate requires the involvement of management's valuation specialists.
How the Critical Matter was Addressed in the Audit
To determine the reasonableness of the fair value of the royalties payable, we:
●
Assessed the reasonableness of the forecasts of future revenue by (i) comparing to historical revenue growth of the Company and (ii) assessing forecasts of future revenues against industry metrics and guideline companies.
●
Utilized personnel with specialized knowledge and skill in valuation to assist in assessing the reasonableness of discount rates incorporated into the valuation models used by management.
●
Recalculated the mathematical accuracy of the Company’s net present value calculation.
●
Assessed the professional competence, experience, and objectivity of the Company’s external valuation specialist.

Assessment of ASC 360 Impairment Analysis
Description of the Matter
In accordance with ASC 360, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("ASC 360"), the Company, at least annually or more frequently if certain events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable, performs an impairment analysis. As a result of the sustained negative cash flows from operations and continued losses from operations, the Company assessed their intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment.
To determine whether the carrying amount of the long-lived asset group is recoverable, the Company determined the estimated future cash flows of the group for a period consistent with that of the primary assets of the group. The sum of the undiscounted cash flows was then compared to the carrying amount of the long-lived assets as of December 31, 2024 to conclude whether the asset group carrying value is recoverable.
We identified the ASC 360 impairment analysis as a critical audit matter due to the estimation and subjectivity needed to identify impairment triggers and perform an impairment test. The inputs to the test are subjective as they are based on management's forecasts. Additionally, there is complexity that requires the Company to involve valuation specialists in performing the quantitative test.
How the Critical Matter was Addressed in the Audit
To determine the reasonableness of the conclusion the long-lived assets were not impaired we:
●
Evaluated the reasonableness of management’s assumptions in the calculation of fair value of reporting unit, including the revenue growth rate in the projected future cash flows by comparing projections to historical results, actual results through year-end, relevant peer companies, and industry data.
●
Utilized personnel with specialized knowledge and skill in valuation to assist in evaluating the appropriateness of the methodologies and valuation models utilized by management to determine the fair value of the reporting units.
●
Assessed the professional competence, experience, and objectivity of the Company's external valuation specialist.

Accounting For Warrants Associated with September 2024 Public Offering
Description of the Matter
The Company issued warrants in connection with the September 2024 Public Offering. The accounting for the issuance of these warrants involves evaluation of complex accounting guidance to be performed by management as it relates to determining the accounting classification of the warrants.
This matter was identified as a critical audit matter due to the complexity in accounting for the warrants and the significant impact of these conclusions on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
How the Critical Matter was Addressed in the Audit
Our principal audit procedures performed to address this critical audit matter included the following:
●
Reviewed the executed offering under the registration statement and associated agreements.
●
Reviewed management’s technical accounting memo evaluating the terms and conditions of the executed agreements to determine the appropriate classification of the instruments.
●
Utilized personnel with specialized knowledge and skills in technical accounting to assist in: (i) evaluating the terms of the offering documents in relation to the relevant accounting literature, and (ii) assessing the appropriateness of conclusions reached by the Company.
Accounting For Warrants and Modification of Warrants Associated with October 2024 Warrant Inducement
Description of the Matter
The Company modified the exercise price of existing warrants in connection with the October 2024 Warrant Inducement. In consideration for the exercise, warrant holders were issued new warrants. The accounting for the modification and issuance of these warrants involves complex and subjective judgment by management as it relates to determining the accounting classification of the warrants and determining the fair value of the warrants at issuance and modification dates.
This matter was identified as a critical audit matter due to the complexity in accounting for the warrants and the significant impact of these conclusions on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
How the Critical Matter was Addressed in the Audit
Our principal audit procedures performed to address this critical audit matter included the following:
●
Reviewed the Warrant Inducement Offer to common stock purchase warrants.
●
Reviewed management's technical accounting memo in conjunction with the terms and conditions of the executed warrant agreements to determine the appropriate classification of the instruments.
●
Evaluated management's methodology and assumptions used in the valuation of the warrants.
●
Utilized our internal valuation specialists to assess the reasonableness of the volatility inputs into the Company's Black-Scholes model.
●
Assessed the professional competence, experience, and objectivity of the Company's external valuation specialist.
●
Recalculated the mathematical accuracy of the Company's fair valuation of the warrants.

Note 1. Organization and Nature of Operations
The Company
Catheter Precision, Inc. ("Catheter" or the "Company”) was incorporated in California on September 4, 2002, and reincorporated in Delaware in July 2018. Catheter was initially formed to develop, commercialize and market its advanced excimer laser-based platform for use in the treatment of vascular and dermatological immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.
On January 9, 2023, Catheter entered into the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Catheter Precision, Inc. (“Old Catheter”), a privately held Delaware corporation. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Old Catheter became a wholly owned subsidiary of Catheter, together referred to as the Company, in a stock-for-stock merger transaction (the "Merger").
Prior to the Merger, Catheter developed the advanced excimer laser-based platform, which was developed as a tool in the treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease, which commonly occurs in the legs. After the Merger, and looking forward, this legacy Destruction of Arteriosclerotic Blockages by laser Radiation Ablation, laser and single-use catheter (together referred to as "DABRA") and related assets were no longer used. The Company ceased operations and marketing with respect to DABRA, and Catheter’s legacy lines of business were discontinued. The Company shifted the focus of its operations to Old Catheter’s product lines. Accordingly, the Company’s current activities primarily relate to Old Catheter’s historical business, which comprises the design, manufacture and sale of new and innovative medical technologies in the field of cardiac electrophysiology (“EP”).
One of the Company’s two primary products is the VIVO System, which is an acronym for View into Ventricular Onset (“VIVO” or “VIVO System”). VIVO is a non-invasive imaging system that offers 3D cardiac mapping to help with localizing the sites of origin of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias in patients with structurally normal hearts prior to EP procedures. The VIVO System is commercially available in the European Union and has been placed at several hospitals in Europe. United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") 510 (k) clearance was received, and the Company began a limited commercial release of VIVO in 2021 in the United States.
The Company’s newest product, LockeT® (“LockeT”), is a suture retention device indicated for wound healing by distributing suture tension over a larger area in the patient in conjunction with a figure of eight suture closure and is intended to temporarily secure sutures and aid clinicians in locating and removing sutures efficiently. In addition, LockeT is a sterile, Class I product that was registered with the FDA in February 2023, at which time initial shipments began to distributors. Clinical studies for LockeT began during the year ended December 31, 2023. These studies are planned to show the product’s effectiveness and benefits, including faster wound closure and earlier ambulation, potentially leading to early hospital discharge and cost benefits. This information is intended to provide crucial data for marketing. The Company recorded its first commercial sale of LockeT to distributors in May 2024.
The Company’s product portfolio also includes the Amigo® Remote Catheter System (the "AMIGO" or "AMIGO System"), a robotic arm that serves as a catheter control device. Prior to 2018, Old Catheter marketed AMIGO. The Company owns the intellectual property related to AMIGO, and this product is under consideration for future research and development of a generation 2 product.

Reverse stock split
On
July 3, 2024, at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Amendment”), which included a decrease in the authorized common stock and authorization for the Board, in its discretion, to effect a reverse stock split within specified parameters. The Amendment was effective
July 15, 2024, reducing the authorized common stock to
30 million shares and effecting a reverse stock split in which each
ten (
10 ) shares of the Company’s common stock, par value
$ 0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, automatically combined into
one (
1 ) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of the Company’s common stock, par value
$ 0.0001 per share.
No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share were entitled to receive their pro rata portion of the net proceeds obtained from the aggregation and sale by the exchange agent of the fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split (reduced by any customary brokerage fees, commissions and other expenses). All references to share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively restated to reflect this reverse stock split. All rights to receive shares of common stock under outstanding securities, including but not limited to, warrants and options, were adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split. Furthermore, proportionate adjustments were made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options granted by the Company, and the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan.
Going concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company has incurred recurring net losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. As of December 31, 2024 , the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $ 2.9 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024 , the Company used $ 9.3 million in cash for operating activities. As of December 31, 2024 , the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 292.4 million.
Management expects operating losses and negative cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future as the Company invests in its commercial capabilities. These negative cash flows have substantially depleted the Company’s cash. Following the Merger with Old Catheter, Management further reduced costs while assuming the operating costs of Old Catheter. Management will continue to monitor its operating costs and seek to reduce its current liabilities. Such actions may impair its ability to proceed with certain strategic activities.
Between May 30, 2024 and July 25, 2024, the Company issued five short-term promissory notes with related parties totaling $ 1.5 million with an 8 % interest rate and a maturity date of August 30, 2024 ( the “Related Party Notes”). On August 23, 2024, the Company amended the Related Party Notes to extend the maturity date to January 31, 2026. As part of the amendment, all interest accrued as of the amendment date was repaid to the noteholders and the contractual interest rate increased to 12 % per annum as of the amendment date. See Note 9, Notes Payable for additional information.
On August 30, 2024, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. as representative (the “Representative”) of the underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriters”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company completed a public offering of its securities on September 3, 2024 ( the “September 2024 Public Offering”) and sold an aggregate of (i) 805,900 Common Stock Units and (ii) 2,773,000 Pre-Funded Units. The Company collected gross proceeds of approximately $ 3.6 million before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses payable by the Company of $ 1.0 million. See Note 13, Equity Offerings for additional information.
On October 25, 2024, the Company executed the Warrant Inducement Offer Letters (the “2024 Warrant Inducement Offer”) with certain holders of the Company’s existing warrants. Following the close of the 2024 Warrant Inducement Offer, such warrant holders immediately exercised an aggregate of (i) 33,160.8 Series E Warrants, (ii) 499,909.34 Series F Warrants, (iii) 499,909.34 Series G Warrants, (iv) 1,990,000 Series H Warrants, and (v) 2,325,000 Series I Warrants (collectively the “2024 Existing Warrants”) to purchase 5,347,981 shares of the Company’s common stock at a reduced exercise price of $ 0.70 per share of common stock. In consideration for the immediate exercise of the 2024 Existing Warrants for cash, the Company agreed to issue unregistered new Series K Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“Series K Warrants”) to purchase up to 10,695,962 shares of common stock. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $ 3.7 million in cash, prior to deducting placement agent fees and offering expense of $ 0.4 million. See Note 13, Equity Offerings for additional information.
Based on the Company’s liquidity resources, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months from the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the Company continuing to operate in the normal course of business and do not reflect any adjustments to the assets and liabilities related to the substantial doubt of its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional funding. Management plans to raise additional capital through public or private equity or debt financings to fulfill its operating and capital requirements for at least 12 months from the date of the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. However, the Company may not be able to secure such financing in a timely manner or on favorable terms, if at all. Furthermore, if the Company issues equity securities to raise additional funds, its existing stockholders may experience dilution, and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the Company’s existing stockholders.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and Old Catheter. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) establishes these principles to ensure financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows are consistently reported. Any reference in these notes to applicable accounting guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative nongovernmental GAAP as found in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC").
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are based upon a number of estimates including, but not limited to, the accounting for the Old Catheter business combination (see Note 3, Business Combination), allowance for credit losses, evaluation of impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, valuation of long-lived assets and their associated estimated useful lives, reserves for warranty costs, fair value of royalties payable due to related parties, evaluation of probable loss contingencies, fair value of preferred stock and warrants issued, including valuation of the deemed dividend, and fair value of equity awards granted.

Concentrations of credit risk
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company generally maintains cash and cash equivalent balances in various operating accounts at financial institutions with high quality credit in amounts in excess of federally insured limits of $250,000. As of December 31, 2024 , the Company had deposits in financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits of $ 2.6 million . The Company has not experienced any losses related to its cash and cash equivalents and does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. The Company has no significant off-balance sheet risk, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts, or other hedging arrangements.
The Company extends credit to customers in the normal course of business. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable exist to the full extent of amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not require collateral from its customers to secure accounts receivable.
The Company had 3 customers that represented 62 % and 67 % of the Company's consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 , respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year financial statement amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on our previously reported results of operations or accumulated deficit. In the current year, the Company separately discloses interest income and interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. For comparative purposes, amounts in the prior years have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations.
Segment reporting
The Company operates in one reportable segment, which includes all activities related to the marketing, sales, and development of medical technologies in the cardiac electrophysiology field. While the commercial efforts that coordinate the marketing, sales, and distribution of these products are organized by geographic region and product, all of these activities are supported by a single corporate team and distribution channels. The determination of a single reportable segment is consistent with the consolidated financial information available and regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”).
The CODM is the Company’s chief executive officer, who reviews and evaluates consolidated net loss reported on the consolidated statements of operations for purposes of assessing performance, making operating decisions, allocating resources and planning and forecasting for future periods. As the Company’s operations are managed at the consolidated level, there are no differences between the measurement of the reportable segments’ profit or losses and the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Segment asset measures are not used as a basis for the CODM to evaluate the performance of or to allocate resources to the segment.
The following table summarizes segment revenues and significant segment expenses included in the measure of segment profit or loss (consolidated net loss) reviewed by the CODM:

Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of ninety days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents primarily represent funds invested in readily available checking and money market accounts.
Fair value measurements
Fair value represents the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants and is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three -tier fair value hierarchy is used to identify inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 - Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.
Cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses are reported on the consolidated balance sheets at carrying value which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying value of our notes payable and notes payable due to related parties approximates the instruments' fair value due to the short-term maturities of these debt instruments.
The following table details the fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments:

The fair value measurement of royalties payable due to related parties includes unobservable inputs that are not supported by any market data. Royalties payable due to related parties equals the present value of estimated future royalty payments, wherein the Company applies an internally developed, revenue adjusted discount rate (“RADR”) to discount back the forecasted royalty payments. The RADR is based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) adjusted for the product revenue’s risk profile. The risk-free rate used to determine the cost of equity for the RADR is adjusted to be commensurate with the term of the royalty agreements. Furthermore, the Beta and Risk Premium used to determine the cost of equity are also adjusted to reflect the product revenue's volatility. All other inputs for the RADR and the Company’s WACC are the same.
The following tables summarize the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of Level 3 instruments:

Increases or decreases in the fair value of royalties payable due to related parties can result from updates to assumptions, such as changes in discount rates, projected cash flows, among other assumptions. Judgment is used in determining these assumptions as of the initial valuation date and at each subsequent reporting period. Changes or updates to assumptions could have a material impact on the reported fair value, the change in fair value, and the results of operations in any given period.

Accounts receivable and allowances for credit losses
Accounts receivable consists of trade receivables recorded at invoiced amounts. Accounts receivable is presented net of any discounts and allowance for credit losses, is unsecured and does not bear interest. Accounts receivable are evaluated for collectability based on historical credit loss experience, adjusted for asset-specific risk characteristics, current economic conditions, and reasonable forecasts, including the probability of future collection and estimated loss rates based on aging schedules. Accounts receivable are assessed for collectability based on three portfolio segments: Hospitals - United States, Hospitals - Europe, and Distributors. The determination of portfolio segments is based on the customers’ industry and geographical location.
Changes in the estimated collectability of accounts receivable are recorded in the results of operations in the period in which the estimate is revised. Accounts receivable are written off as uncollectible after all means of collection are exhausted. Any subsequent recoveries are credited to the allowance for credit losses. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivable was immaterial.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first -in, first -out method) or net realizable value. Cost includes materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories. The Company reduces the carrying value of inventories for those items that are potentially in excess, obsolete or slow-moving based on changes in customer demand, technological developments or other economic factors.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Machinery and equipment
2 - 5 years
Computer hardware and software
1 - 5 years
LockeT animation video
3 years
VIVO DEMO/Clinical Systems
1-5 years

Table of Contents
The Company periodically reviews the residual values and estimated useful lives of each class of its property and equipment for ongoing reasonableness, considering the long-term views of their intended use and the level of planned improvements to maintain and enhance those assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective account balances and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The cost of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with ASC 360, Impairment and Disposals of Long-lived Assets , the Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired and the carrying value of the long-lived assets may not be recoverable. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and the expected undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the assets carrying value over its fair value is recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations at that date.
As a result of the sustained decline of the Company's stock, the Company assessed its long-lived assets for impairment. To evaluate whether the carrying amount of the long-lived asset group is recoverable, the Company determined the estimated future cash flows of the group for a period consistent with that of the primary assets of the group. The sum of the undiscounted cash flows was then compared to the carrying amount of the long-lived assets as of December 31, 2024. The Company concluded there was no impairment as of December 31, 2024 .
Goodwill
In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other , goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price of Old Catheter over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. The Company reviews goodwill for possible impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
To determine whether goodwill is impaired, annually or more frequently if needed, the Company performs a multi-step impairment test. The Company first has the option to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The Company may also elect to skip the qualitative testing and proceed directly to the quantitative testing. When performing quantitative testing, the Company first estimates the fair values of its reporting units using a combination of an income and market-based approach. To determine fair values, the Company is required to make assumptions about a wide variety of internal and external factors. Significant assumptions used in the impairment analysis include financial projections of free cash flow (including significant assumptions about operations, including the rate of future revenue growth, capital requirements, and income taxes), long-term growth rates for determining terminal value and discount rates. Comparative market multiples are used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow test. These assumptions require significant judgment. Pursuant to ASU 2017 - 04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , the single step is to determine the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and compare it to the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill. To the extent the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied goodwill, the difference is the amount of the goodwill impairment. The majority of the inputs used in the discounted cash flow model are unobservable and thus are considered to be Level 3 inputs. The inputs for the market capitalization calculation are considered Level 1 inputs.
There were impairment charges of $ 60.9 million recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023 ( see Note 3, Business Combination and Note 7, Goodwill for additional details). As of December 31, 2023, goodwill was fully impaired.
Royalties payable due to related parties
The Company is obligated to pay royalties related to sales of LockeT and AMIGO System under various royalty agreements executed by Old Catheter. The Company recognizes a liability for royalty fees incurred and payable based on actual sales of products under current portion of royalties payable due to related parties in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes a liability for future, estimated royalty payments at fair value under the royalties payable due to related parties in the consolidated balance sheets. The royalties payable due to related parties is remeasured at each reporting period. Changes in fair value of royalties payable due to related parties are recorded on the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they occur. See Note 10, Royalties Payable for additional information.

Product warranty
The Company offers product warranties against defects in material and workmanship when the products are used for their intended purpose and properly maintained.
Warranty expenses are included in cost of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Changes in estimates to previously established warranty accruals result from current period updates to assumptions regarding repair and product recall costs and are included in current period warranty expense. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 , there was no accrued product warranty balance.
Distinguishing liabilities from equity
The Company evaluates equity or liability classification for freestanding financial instruments, including convertible preferred stock, warrants, and options, pursuant to the guidance under ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480” ). The Company classifies as liabilities all freestanding financial instruments that are (i) mandatorily redeemable, (ii) represent an obligation to repurchase the Company’s equity shares by transferring assets, or (iii) represent an unconditional obligation (or conditional obligation if the financial instrument is not an outstanding share) to issue a variable number of shares predominantly based on a fixed monetary amount, variations in something other than the fair value of the Company’s equity shares, or variations inversely related to changes in fair value of the Company’s equity shares.
If a freestanding financial instrument does not represent an outstanding equity share and does not meet liability classification under ASC 480, the Company then assesses whether the freestanding financial instrument is indexed to its own stock and meets equity classification pursuant to ASC 815 - 40, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815” ). The Company further assesses whether the freestanding financial instruments should be classified as temporary equity. Freestanding financial instruments that are redeemable for cash or other assets at a fixed or determinable date, at the option of the holder, or upon the occurrence of an event are classified in temporary equity in accordance with ASC 480. Otherwise, the freestanding financial instruments are classified in permanent equity.
Revenue recognition
In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606” ), the Company accounts for contracts with customers when there is a legally enforceable contract, the rights of the parties are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of the contract consideration is probable. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring promised goods or services. The amount of consideration to be received and revenue recognized may vary due to discounts. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service. If there are multiple performance obligations in the customer contract, the Company allocates the transaction price in the contract to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price. The Company does not adjust revenue for the effects of a significant financing component for contracts if the period between the transfer of control and corresponding payment is expected to be one year or less. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations in the customer contract are satisfied. This generally occurs when the customer obtains control of a promised good at a point in time or when a customer receives a promised service over time.
Pursuant to ASC 606, the Company applies the following five steps to each customer contract:
F-
15
Table of Contents
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation
VIVO System
The VIVO System offers 3D cardiac mapping to help localize the sites of origin of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias in patients with structurally normal hearts prior to electrophysiology studies. Customers are provided with VIVO Positioning Patch Sets, which are custom patches, that are used in conjunction with the VIVO System. The VIVO Positioning Patch Sets are integral to the functionality of the VIVO System. The VIVO System, including the VIVO Positioning Patch Sets, represents the Company’s primary performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue when physical possession and control of the VIVO System is transferred to the customer upon delivery. The Company also offers customers software upgrades for the VIVO System, which may be purchased and paid in advance at contract inception. Software upgrades represent stand-ready services, whereby the Company promises to provide software upgrades to the customer when and as upgrades are available. Software upgrade services may be offered for initial contract terms of one to multiple years. Customers have the option to renew software upgrades services at the end of each term. The software upgrade services represent the Company's second performance obligation, which is recognized evenly over time over the contract term. There were no software upgrade services revenues during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The Company invoices the customer for the VIVO System and related software upgrades after physical possession and control of the VIVO System has been transferred to the customer. Subsequent renewals for software upgrades are invoiced at inception of the renewed term. The timing of payment for the corresponding invoices depends on the credit terms identified in each customer contract.
LockeT
LockeT was launched by the Company in February 2023 and is a suture retention device indicated for wound healing by distributing suture tension over a larger area in the patient in conjunction with a figure of eight suture closure. LockeT is intended to temporarily secure sutures and aid clinicians in locating and removing sutures efficiently. The LockeT device represents a performance obligation in the customer contract. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of the LockeT device to the customer, which happens when the Company delivers the product to the customer.
The Company has elected as a practical expedient to expense as incurred any costs incurred to obtain a contract as the related amortization period would be one year or less.

Shipping and handling costs
Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in net product sales, while all other shipping and handling costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Advertising and marketing
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising costs were $ 170 t housand and $ 95 thousand during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Patents
The Company expenses patent costs, including related legal costs, as incurred and records such costs as selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Research and development
Major components of research and development costs include consulting, research grants, supplies and clinical trial expenses. Research and development expenses are charged to operations in the period incurred.
Stock-based compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense associated with stock options, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) issued to employees, members of the Company’s board of directors and consultants in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718” ). The Company evaluates whether stock-based awards should be classified and accounted for as liability or equity awards on the date of grant. Furthermore, the Company measures all stock-based awards granted based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. Stock options are measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model (the “Black-Scholes model”), which incorporates various assumptions, including expected term, volatility and risk-free interest rate. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based awards is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective stock award. Stock-based compensation expense for stock-based awards with a performance condition is recognized when the achievement of such performance condition is determined to be probable. If the outcome of such performance condition is not probable or is not met, no stock-based compensation expense is recognized, and any previously recognized compensation expense is reversed. Forfeitures are recognized as a reduction of stock-based compensation expense as they occur.
As a result of the Merger, all unvested Old Catheter stock options were subject to accelerated vesting and became fully vested as of the closing date of the business combination. The Company recognized the fair value of the replacement options as included in consideration transferred to the extent they do not exceed the fair value of the equivalent Old Catheter options. Any incremental fair value was recognized in stock-based compensation expense in the post-combination period, with this recognized as a Day 1 expense due to the Old Catheter options becoming fully vested concurrent with the closing of the business combination.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. Any resulting net deferred tax assets are evaluated for recoverability and, accordingly, a valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a two -step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining whether it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on an audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. An uncertain tax position is considered effectively settled on completion of an examination by a taxing authority if certain other conditions are satisfied. Should the Company incur interest and penalties relating to tax uncertainties, such amounts would be classified as a component of interest expense and other expense, respectively.

Basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock
Earnings per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated using the two -class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for the holders of the Company’s common shares and participating securities. The Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series X Convertible Preferred Stock, and outstanding warrants are participating securities as they contain participating rights in distributions made to common stockholders. Since the participating securities do not include a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company, they are not included in the calculation of net loss per share in the periods that have a net loss. In addition, common stock equivalent shares (whether or not participating) are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per common share.
Diluted net loss per share is computed using the more dilutive of (a) the two -class method or (b) the if-converted method and treasury stock method, as applicable. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss attributable to common stockholders, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. Diluted net loss per share is equivalent to basic net loss per share for the periods presented herein because common stock equivalent shares from warrants, stock options, non-vested restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and Series X Convertible Preferred Stock were anti-dilutive (see Note 12, Net Loss per Share).
Net loss attributable to common stockholders consists of net income or loss, as adjusted for actual and deemed dividends declared. The Company recorded a deemed dividend for the modification of existing warrants and issuance of new warrants of $ 5.2 million and $ 0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 , respectively. The deemed dividend is added to net loss in determining the net loss available to common stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 .
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023 - 07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280 ): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023 - 07" ). The amendments in ASU 2023 - 07 require disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity’s CODM. The amendments in this update also expand the interim segment disclosure requirements. These amendments do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The company adopted the amended guidance for the fiscal year-ended December 31, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023 - 07 expanded certain disclosures but did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for more information about our segment reporting.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023 - 09, Income Taxes (Topic 740 ): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , which requires public entities to disclose consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and for income taxes paid. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is required to adopt this standard prospectively in fiscal year 2025 for the annual reporting period ending December 31, 2025. The Company does not believe the impact of the new guidance and related codification improvements will have a material impact to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024 - 03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220 - 40 ): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024 - 03" ). ASU 2024 - 03 requires the disaggregation of certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements to provide enhanced transparency into the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024 - 03 is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027 and for interim periods beginning in 2028. The guidance may be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024 - 03 on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Business Combination
On January 9, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Old Catheter for the purpose of acquiring Old Catheter’s existing and developing product lines based on unique electrophysiology technology.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all Old Catheter common stock shares issued and outstanding and convertible promissory notes, representing an aggregate principal of $ 25.2 million, were converted into a right to receive 14,649.592 shares of a new class of the Company’s preferred stock, designated Series X Convertible Preferred Stock. Additionally, all outstanding stock options to purchase Old Catheter common stock were assumed and converted into options to purchase approximately 75,367 shares of the Company's common stock.
The total purchase consideration for the Merger was $ 72.5 million which represents the sum of the (i) estimated fair value of the 14,649.592 Series X Convertible Preferred Stock issued and (ii) the portion of the estimated fair value of $ 3.4 million representing the Company stock options issued in replacement of Old Catheter share-based payment awards as required under FASB Topic 805, Business Combinations ("Topic 805" ).
The fair value of the Series X Convertible Preferred Stock includes certain discounts applied to the closing stock price of the Company, on January 9, 2023, of $ 60.90 per share.

The Merger was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Topic 805, and the Company has been determined to be the accounting acquirer. The Company allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. The purchase price allocation reflects various fair value estimates and analyses, including certain tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the valuation of intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and goodwill, which were subject to change within the measurement period as valuations were being finalized (generally one year from the acquisition date). Measurement period adjustments were recorded in the reporting period in which the estimates are finalized, and adjustment amounts were determined. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments based on changes to certain estimates and assumptions and their related impact to the purchase price allocation. Developed technology was revised from $ 35.1 million to $ 27.0 million; trademarks were revised from $ 1.7 million to $ 1.3 million; customer relationships were revised from $ 220 thousand to $ 62 thousand; goodwill was revised from $ 56.0 million to $ 60.9 million; and royalties payable due to related parties were revised from $ 7.6 million to $ 14.2 million.

The Company uses the straight-line method to determine amortization expense for its definite lived intangible assets. Amortization expense, included within selling, general and administrative expenses, related to the Company's intangible assets was $ 2.0 million and $ 2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 , respectively.
Note 7. Goodwill
In connection with the Merger, the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets assumed of $ 60.9 million was recognized as goodwill. The Merger was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Topic 805, and the Company has been determined to be the accounting acquirer. The Company allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments based on changes to certain estimates and assumptions and their related impact to the purchase price allocation. As a result, goodwill was revised from $ 56.0 million to $ 60.9 million.
The Company tests Goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if a change in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicates that potential impairment exists. Due to a sustained decrease in the Company’s share price during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company concluded that, in accordance with ASC 350, a triggering event occurred indicating that potential impairment exists and required the Company to assess if impairment exists as of March 31, 2023. In accordance with ASC 350, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test, which resulted in the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeding the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, indicating that the goodwill of the reporting unit was impaired. The Company utilized a combination of an income and market-based approach to assess the fair value of the reporting unit. The income approach considered the discounted cash flow model, considering projected future cash flows (including timing and profitability), discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in future cash flows, perpetual growth rate, and projected future economic and market conditions. The guideline public company market approach considered marketplace earnings multiples from within a peer public company group. As of December 31, 2023, cumulative goodwill impairment charges of $ 60.9 million were incurred related to the Company’s single reporting unit and no goodwill remains as of this date.

A down payment of $ 157 thousand was made and the remaining balance of $ 290 thousand was financed over 8 months through a short-term financing arrangement with its insurance carrier. The interest rate on the loan was 8.99 %. Interest expense on this loan was $ 4 thousand and $ 6 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 , respectively. The loan balance was $ 184 thousand as of December 31, 2023. The loan balance was paid off in May 2024, such that there is no remaining balance as of December 31, 2024 .
The Company purchased director and officer liability insurance coverage on September 26, 2024 for $ 293 thousand.

Promissory Notes (collectively, the “Related Party Notes”)
On May 30, 2024, David A. Jenkins loaned $ 500,000 to the Company in exchange for a short-term promissory note.
On June 25, 2024, an entity controlled by Mr. Jenkins loaned $ 150,000 to the Company in exchange for a short-term promissory note.
On July 1, 2024 and July 18, 2024, the Company entered into two short-term promissory notes with an affiliate of Mr. Jenkins, wherein the affiliate loaned $ 250,000 and $ 100,000 , respectively, to the Company in exchange for the short-term promissory notes.
On July 25, 2024, the Company entered into a short-term promissory note with a Trust, of which Mr. Jenkins’ adult daughter is the trustee, wherein the Trust loaned $ 500,000 to the Company in exchange for the short-term promissory note.
All of these short-term promissory notes (the “Related Party Notes”) had a maturity date of August 30, 2024 and interest at 8 % per annum.
On August 23, 2024, the Company entered in the first amendment of the Related Party Notes, which extended the maturity date to January 31, 2026 and increased the interest rate to 12 % per annum after August 31, 2024. All other terms and conditions remained substantially unchanged. As part of the amendment, the Company paid down all accrued interest to date of $ 21 thousand. The amendment was accounted for as a debt modification in accordance with ASC 470 - 50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishment (“ASC 470 - 50” ). Since the modified terms and conditions were not substantially different from the prior terms and conditions, the Company accounted for the debt modification as a continuation of the original debt instrument. The Company further concluded that the debt modification did not result in any adjustments to the carrying value of the Related Party Notes.
The Related Party Notes, including all principal and interest, accelerate and become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default, including failure to pay amounts owed when due, material breach of the Company’s representations or warranties (unless waived by the holders of the Related Party Notes or cured within 10 days following notice), certain events involving the discontinuation of the Company’s business and/or certain types of proceedings involving insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership and the like.
Interest expense on the Related Party Notes was $ 81 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024 . The Related Party Notes and related accrued interest totaled $ 1.6 million as of December 31, 2024 , $ 61 thousand of which related to accrued interest and was recorded under interest payable due to related parties on the consolidated balance sheets. The principal balance of $ 1.5 million of the Related Party Notes is recorded under notes payable due to related parties on the consolidated balance sheets.
See Note 19, Related Parties for additional details.
Note 10. Royalties Payable
LockeT Royalty
On January 9, 2023, Old Catheter entered into an agreement with the Noteholders to forgive all accrued interest and future interest expense in exchange for a future royalty right. Under these agreements, the Company is obligated to pay the Noteholders a total royalty equal to 11.82 % of net sales of its LockeT device on a quarterly basis, commencing upon the first commercial sale, which occurred in April 2024, through December 31, 2035. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the royalty payable related to the agreement with the Noteholders was $ 9.2 million. The Company recorded a loss on the change in the fair value of $ 2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
An additional royalty will be paid to the inventor of the LockeT device as detailed in the Royalty Agreement. In exchange for the assignment and all rights to LockeT, the Company will pay a 5 % royalty on net sales up to $ 1.0 million in royalties, payable annually in arrears, starting with the year ending December 31, 2022. After $ 1.0 million has been paid, and if, and only if, a US patent is granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the Company will continue to pay a royalty at a rate of 2 % of net sales, until total cumulative royalties of $ 10.0 million have been paid. The royalty payments will apply to revenues through December 31, 2033, then will terminate regardless of whether the full $ 10.0 million has been paid.
The Company recorded its first sales of LockeT devices during the year ended December 31, 2024, such that the Company owes $ 32 thousand in connection with the royalty agreements as of December 31, 2024. The Company did not owe any royalty payments as of December 31, 2023.
AMIGO System Royalty
During 2006 and 2007, Old Catheter entered into two investment grant agreements with a non-profit foundation for the purpose of funding the initial development of Old Catheter's AMIGO System, receiving a total of $ 1.6 million from the foundation. The agreement calls for the payment of the following sales-based royalties by Old Catheter to the foundation upon successful commercialization of the AMIGO System (in thousands, except for percentages):

The Company is not actively marketing and selling the AMIGO System, such that there was no royalty expense recorded for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 in relation to the AMIGO System. The AMIGO System royalty has been earned and payment has been deferred to a future date. The AMIGO System royalty payable is recorded under royalties payable due to related parties in the consolidated balance sheets.
Note 11. Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at contract inception based on its ability to control a physically distinct asset in exchange for consideration. If the arrangement contains a lease, the Company then determines the classification of the lease as either operating or finance. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 , the Company only had operating leases.
For operating leases, right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The present values of future lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if it is readily determinable. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company applies an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. The Company benchmarked itself against other companies with similar credit ratings and of comparable quality to derive an incremental borrowing rate. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company elected to utilize the short-term lease exemption to exclude recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities from the balance sheet for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, with payments instead being expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. If a lease includes options to extend the lease term, the Company does not assume the option will be exercised in its initial lease term assessment unless there is reasonable certainty that the Company will renew based on an assessment of economic factors present as of the lease commencement date. The Company monitors its plans to renew its material lease each reporting period.
The Company enters into contracts that contain both lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components include costs that do not provide a right-to-use a leased asset but instead provide a service such as maintenance costs. The Company has elected to account for the lease and non-lease components together as a single component for all classes of underlying assets. Variable costs associated with the lease, such as maintenance and utilities, are not included in the measurement of ROU assets and liabilities. Variable costs are expensed when the events determining the amount of variable consideration to be paid have occurred.
South Carolina Office Lease Agreement
On September 27, 2022, Old Catheter entered into a lease agreement for office space located in Fort Mill, South Carolina. The space is used for office and general use. The lease term began on October 1, 2022, is 38 months, and includes two months of free rent from the commencement date of the lease. The lease contains two distinct 36 -month renewal periods, which require 180 days’ notice of the Company's intention to exercise. As of December 31, 2024, the Company does not intend to exercise either of the two extension options. Total rent is $ 3,435 per month for the first ten months following the two months of free rent, with annual increases on the anniversary of the effective date.
New Jersey Office Lease Agreement
On December 7, 2022, Old Catheter entered into a lease agreement for office space located in Augusta, New Jersey. The space is used for office and general use. The lease term began on January 1, 2023 and is 24 months. The lease contains one 24 -month renewal period, which requires 9 months’ notice of the Company’s intent to exercise. In March 2024, the Company notified the landlord of its intent to extend the lease for a 12 -month period. In April 2024, a lease extension agreement was entered into extending the lease through December 31, 2025. Total rent is $ 1,207 per month through December 31, 2024, and $ 1,267 for the remaining term of the extended lease.
Park City Office Lease Agreement
On March 19, 2023, the Company entered into a lease agreement for office space located in Park City, Utah. The space is used for office and general use. The lease term began on May 1, 2023 and is 36 months. The lease contains one 36 -month renewal period, which requires 180 days’ notice of the Company's intention to exercise. As of December 31, 2024, the Company does not intend to exercise the extension option. Total rent is $ 3,200 per month for the first year with an annual increase of three percent per year on the anniversary of the effective date.

Note 12. Net Loss per Share
The Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, of which no shares were outstanding as of December 31, 2024, and outstanding warrants to purchase common stock have participation rights to any dividends that may be declared in the future, such that they are participating securities. Participating securities have the effect of diluting both basic and diluted earnings per share during periods of income. During periods of loss, no loss is allocated to the participating securities since the holders have no contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company.
Anti-dilutive common share equivalents excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share at December 31, 2024 , consisted of 1,265,601 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock, 16,539,513 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, and 95,605 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of vested stock options. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding as of December 31, 2024 includes the shares held in abeyance upon the exercise of certain existing warrants (see Note 13, Equity Offerings). In connection with the 2024 Warrant Inducement Offer, the Company agreed to issue the number of shares of common stock that would not cause a holder to exceed their beneficial ownership limitation and to hold the remaining balance of shares of common stock in abeyance. Accordingly, the Company held 3,096,00 shares of common stock in abeyance as of December 31, 2024 (the “Abeyance Shares”). The Abeyance Shares are evidenced through the holders’ existing warrants, which are now deemed to be fully prepaid. Since the Abeyance Shares are issuable for no consideration and do not contain any other conditions that must be satisfied by the holder to ultimately receive such shares of common stock, the Abeyance Shares were included in the weighted-average number of common shares and excluded from the anti-dilutive number of warrants included above as of December 31, 2024 .
Anti-dilutive common share equivalents excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share at December 31, 2023 , consisted of 286,125 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 1,265,601 shares of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock, 1,104,214 warrants, and 21,465 stock options.
Net loss attributable to common stockholders consists of net loss adjusted for deemed dividends. The Company recorded a deemed dividend for the modification of existing warrants and issuance of new warrants (see Note 13, Equity Offerings) of $ 5.2 million and $ 0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 , respectively.
Note 13. Equity Offerings
2023 Warrant Inducement Offer
On January 9, 2023, the Company reduced the exercise price of certain existing warrants (the “2023 Existing Warrants) held by an investor (the “Investor”) with exercise prices ranging from $ 140.00 to $ 5,265 per share of common stock to $ 40.00 per share of common stock (the “2023 Warrant Repricing”). The 2023 Existing Warrants were exercisable for 33,161 shares of the Company’s common stock. In connection with the 2023 Warrant Repricing, the Company entered into a Warrant Inducement Offer Letter with the Investor pursuant to which the Investor agreed to exercise the 2023 Existing Warrants at the reduced exercise price of $ 40.00 per share of common stock (the "2023 Warrant Inducement Offer"). The Company received approximately $ 1.3 million in gross proceeds. The Company paid placement agent aggregate cash fees plus other offering costs of approximately $ 0.2 million, resulting in net proceeds of $ 1.1 million. In consideration for exercising the 2023 Existing Warrants, the Company issued the Investor a new Series E common stock purchase warrant (the "Series E Warrant") to purchase 33,161 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $ 40.00 per share. The Series E Warrant is exercisable for five years from the date of stockholder approval. Exercise of the Series E Warrant in full was subject to approval of the Company's stockholders other than the Investor, which was obtained at a special meeting of the Company's stockholders held on March 21, 2023 ( the "Stockholders' Meeting"). The incremental fair value of the repriced warrants amounted to $ 0.3 million and the fair value of Series E Warrants totaled $ 1.9 million. The relative fair value of such amounts was recorded to additional paid-in capital concurrent with the exercise of the 2023 Existing Warrants.
As a result of the 2023 Warrant Inducement Offer, the Company presents a deemed dividend for the modification of the 2023 Existing Warrants and issuance of the Series E Warrants of $ 0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The deemed dividend was included in net loss attributable to common stockholders in the calculation of net loss per share in the consolidated statements of operations.
The 2023 Existing Warrants were valued on the date of the 2023 Warrant Repricing using the Black-Scholes model based on the following assumptions:

Private Placement
On January 9, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Securities Purchase Agreement”) for a private placement (“Private Placement”) with the Investor. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Investor agreed to purchase, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $ 8.0 million, (a) Class A Units at a price that was the lower of $ 3.00 per unit and 90 % of the 5 day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to obtainment of the approval of the Company’s stockholders to convert the PIPE Preferred Stock and PIPE Warrants (as each are defined below), without adjusting such price for the reverse stock split, each consisting of one tenth of one share of common stock, one tenth of one Series F common stock purchase warrant (“Series F Warrant”) and one tenth of one Series G common stock purchase warrant (“Series G Warrant”, and together with the Series F Warrants, the “PIPE Warrants”) and (b) Class B Units at a price of $ 1,000 per unit, each consisting of one share of a new series of the Company’s preferred stock, designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “PIPE Preferred Stock”), par value $ 0.0001 , and one tenth of one Series F Warrant and one tenth of one Series G Warrant for each one - tenth of one share of the Company’s common stock underlying the PIPE Preferred Stock (each share of which is convertible into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to $ 1,000 divided by the lower of $ 30.00 and 90 % of the 5 day volume weighted average closing price, multiplied by ten in order to reflect the impact of the reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the obtainment of the approval of the Company’s stockholders of the conversion of the PIPE Preferred Stock and PIPE Warrants, or the Preferred Conversion Rate). The closing under the Securities Purchase Agreement and the sale and issuance of the Class A Units and Class B Units (and the issuance of any underlying common stock) were approved at the Stockholders’ Meeting. At the closing of the Private Placement, the Company issued 497,908 Class A Units for proceeds of approximately $ 0.9 million and 7,203 Class B Units for proceeds of approximately $ 7.1 million, which contained preferred shares that were convertible into up to 450,123 shares of common stock, as well as the issuance of warrants described below.
The PIPE Warrants, including Series F Warrants and Series G Warrants, were exercisable at an exercise price of $ 30.00 per share, subject to adjustments as provided under the terms of the PIPE Warrants. The PIPE Warrants were exercisable at any time on or after the closing date of the Private Placement until the expiration thereof, except that the PIPE Warrants could not be exercised if, after giving effect thereto, the purchaser would beneficially own more than 4.99 %, or the Maximum Percentage, of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, which Maximum Percentage could be increased or decreased by the purchaser with written notice to the Company to any other percentage specified not in excess of 9.99 %. The Series F Warrants had a term of two years from the date of stockholder approval, and the Series G Warrants had a term of six years from the date of stockholder approval. The Series F Warrants and Series G Warrants were approved at the Stockholders’ Meeting.
The Series F Warrants and Series G Warrants were valued, in aggregate, at approximately $ 5.5 million using the Black-Scholes model based on the following assumptions:

The proceeds from the Securities Purchase Agreement were allocated to the equity instruments issued based on their relative fair values and recorded in additional paid-in capital.
Shares of PIPE Preferred Stock, the conversion of which was approved at the Stockholders’ Meeting, were convertible into common stock at the option of the holder at the Preferred Conversion Rate, subject to certain ownership limitations as described below. The conversion price was subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares and similar recapitalization transactions.
Subject to limited exceptions, holders of shares of PIPE Preferred Stock did not have the right to convert any portion of their Preferred Stock if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99 % (or up to 9.99 % at the election of the holder) of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to its conversion.
Holders of PIPE Preferred Stock were entitled to receive dividends on shares of PIPE Preferred Stock equal, on an as-if-converted-to-common stock basis, and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the common stock. Except as otherwise required by law, the PIPE Preferred Stock did not have voting rights.
The Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the purchasers requiring the Company to register the resale of the shares of common stock, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the shares issuable upon the conversion of the PIPE Preferred Stock.
Placement fees
In connection with offerings completed by the Company in 2022, (the "2022 Offerings"), the Company entered into an agreement with a placement agent that, subject to satisfaction of the requirements contained therein, called for a placement fee payable based on capital raised from certain investors for a definitive time following the expiration of the agreement. The accrued placement fee of approximat ely $ 1.4 million r elated t o the 2022 Offerings is included in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

September 2024 Public Offering
On September 3, 2024, in connection with the September Public Offering (see Note 1 ), the Company sold an aggregate of 805,900 Common Stock Units and 2,773,000 Pre-Funded Warrant Units at a public offering price of $ 1.00 per Common Stock Unit and $ 0.9999 per Pre-Funded Warrant Unit. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $ 3.6 million less underwriting discounts and commissions of $ 1.0 million, resulting in net proceeds of $ 2.6 million.
Each Common Stock Unit consists of: (i) one share of the Company's Common Stock, (ii) a Series H Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 1.00 per share that expires six months from the date of issuance, (iii) a Series I Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 1.00 per share that expires eighteen months from the date of issuance, and (iv) a Series J Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 1.00 per share that expires five years from the date of issuance.
Each Pre-Funded Warrant Unit consists of: (i) one Pre-Funded Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 0.0001 per share with no expiration date, (ii) one Series H Warrant, (iii) one Series I Warrant (iv) and one Series J Warrant.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Representative a 45 -day Overallotment Option to purchase up to (i) 468,041 additional shares of Common Stock, (ii) 468,041 additional Series H Warrants, (iii) 468,041 additional Series I Warrants, and/or (iv) 468,041 additional Series J Warrants, solely to cover over-allotments. On August 30, 2024, the Underwriters partially exercised the Overallotment Option to purchase an additional 458,623 shares of Common Stock, 458,623 Series H Warrants, 458,623 Series I Warrants, and 458,623 Series J Warrants, or 458,623 Common Stock Units. The Common Stock Units issued through the exercise of the Overallotment Option are included in the 805,900 Common Stock Units noted abo ve. The Overallotment Option expired on October 14, 2024.
Furthermore, at the closing date, the Company agreed to deliver to the Representative warrants to purchase an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to 6 % of the shares of Common Stock (i) issued in connection with the September 2024 Public Offering and (ii) issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. Therefore, the Company issued 214,734 warrants to the Representative and its designees (the “Representative Warrants”). The Representative Warrants are part of the underwriter costs and commissions incurred in connection with the September 2024 Public Offering. The Representative Warrants may be exercised to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 1.55 per share and expire five years from the date of issuance.
Each Series H Warrant, Series I Warrant, Series J Warrant (collectively, the “Series Warrants”), and Pre-Funded Warrant is immediately exercisable. The exercise price of the Series Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of recapitalization events, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications, reorganizations or similar events affecting the Company’s Common Stock. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of the Series Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Series Warrants if the holder (together with such holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own a number of shares of common stock in excess of 4.99 %, or in the case of certain holders 9.99 %, of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Similarly, a holder of the Pre-Funded Warrants has a Beneficial Ownership Limitation of 9.99 %. At the holder’s option, the holder of the Series Warrants may increase the beneficial ownership limitation to 19.99 % of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding, with any such increase becoming effective upon 61 days’ prior notice to the Company.
The Representative Warrants are exercisable six months after the effective date of the Registration Statement filed by the Company on August 29, 2024. The Representative Warrants further have a Beneficial Ownership Limitation of 4.99 %, which may be increased to 9.99 % of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding at the option of the Representative. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will become effective upon 61 days’ prior notice to the Company.
The Company assessed the Series Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants, and Representative Warrants issued in connection with the September 2024 Public Offering (collectively, the “September 2024 Warrants”) and determined that they do not require liability classification pursuant to ASC 480. Furthermore, the September 2024 Warrants do not have any net cash settlement provisions that would preclude equity classification under ASC 815 - 40. Accordingly, the September 2024 Warrants were recorded to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets.

2024 Warrant Inducement Offer
On October 25, 2024, the Company executed the 2024 Warrant Inducement Offer (see Note 1 ) with certain holders of the Company’s existing warrants (Series E, Series F, Series G, Series H and Series I Warrants, collectively the “2024 Existing Warrants”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Warrant Inducement Offer, the Company agreed to lower the exercise price per share of common stock for all holders of the 2024 Existing Warrants, including those that did not participate in the 2024 Warrant Inducement Offer. The 2024 Existing Warrants had exercise prices ranging from $ 1.00 to $ 40.00 per share of Common Stock. Following the closing of the 2024 Warrant Inducement Offer, the Holders immediately exercised an aggregate of (i) 33,160.8 Series E Warrants, (ii) 499,909.34 Series F Warrants, (iii) 499,909.34 Series G Warrants, (iv) 1,990,000 Series H Warrants, and (v) 2,325,000 Series I Warrants to purchase 5,347,981 shares of common stock at a reduced exercise price of $ 0.70 per share. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $ 3.7 million in cash, prior to deducting placement agent fees and offering expense of $ 0.4 million.
In consideration for the immediate exercise of the 2024 Existing Warrants for cash, the Company issued unregistered new Series K common stock purchase warrants (“Series K Warrants”) to purchase up to 10,695,962 shares of common stock. The Series K Warrants have an exercise price of $ 0.70 per share of common stock, were not exercisable until stockholders approval was obtained (“Stockholder Approval”), and have a term of 5.5 years following Stockholder Approval. Stockholder Approval was obtained on January 13, 2025.
In connection with the closing, the Company issued Placement Agent Warrants to the Placement Agent to purchase up to 320,879 shares of common stock on the same terms as the Series K Warrants, except that the exercise price is $ 1.085 per share and the warrants are exercisable six months after the date of issuance.
As a result of the 2024 Warrant Inducement Offer, the Company recorded a deemed dividend for the modification of the 2024 Existing Warrants and issuance of the Series K Warrants of $ 5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 . The deemed dividend was included in net loss attributable to common stockholders in the calculation of net loss per share in the consolidated statements of operations.
Pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Warrant Inducement Offer, in the event that the exercise of the 2024 Existing Warrants would cause a holder to exceed the beneficial ownership limitations included therein, the Company would issue the number of shares of common stock that would not cause a holder to exceed such beneficial ownership limitations and hold the remaining balance of shares of common stock in abeyance. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2024, the Company held an aggregate of 3,096,000 shares of common stock in abeyance (the “Abeyance Shares”). The Abeyance Shares are evidenced through the holder’s existing warrants, which are deemed to be prepaid. The Abeyance Shares will be held by the Company until the holder sends notice that the remaining balance of shares of common stock may be issued without surpassing the beneficial ownership limitations. Until such time, the Abeyance Shares are evidenced through the holder’s existing warrants ( September 2024 Prepaid Series H Warrants and September 2024 Prepaid Series I Warrants) and are included in the Company’s table of outstanding warrants below.

Series X Convertible Preferred Stock
As described in Note 3, above, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, all Old Catheter common stock shares issued and outstanding and convertible promissory notes, representing an aggregate principal balance of $ 25.2 million, were converted into a right to receive 14,649.592 shares of a new class of the Company’s preferred stock, designated Series X Convertible Preferred Stock.
Series X Convertible Preferred Stock has no voting rights prior to the conversion into common stock. While there are generally no voting rights of the Series X Convertible Preferred Stock, there are protective rights regarding the sales of the company, change of control, etc. Series X Preferred Stock may convert into common stock only if the Company’s common stock has been delisted from the NYSE American or has been approved for initial listing on the NYSE American or another stock exchange, at a rate of 100 shares of common stock for each share of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock.
Other than dividends payable in shares of Common Stock, Holders of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends on shares of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock equal, on an as-if-converted-to-common stock basis, and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of Common Stock.
Upon consummation of the Merger, each holder of Old Catheter convertible promissory notes received, in exchange for discharge of the principal of their Notes, a number of shares of the Company's Series X Convertible Preferred Stock representing a potential right to convert into the Company's common stock in an amount equal to one common share for each $ 32.00 of principal amount.
On March 21, 2023, the Company held the Stockholders' Meeting, at which the stockholders approved, among other things, the issuance of 199,359 shares of common stock upon the conversion of 1,993.581 of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock which were issued upon the closing of the Merger (see Note 3, Business Combination).

On October 24, 2023, the remaining 1,868 shares of common stock were issued upon the conversion of 18.676 shares of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock. The remaining 12,656 shares of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock are expected to remain outstanding until the Company meets the initial listing standards of the NYSE American or another national securities exchange or is delisted from the NYSE American, at which time they will convert into common stock.

2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In September 2018, the Company's board of directors adopted the 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which permitted eligible employees to purchase the Company’s common stock at a discount through payroll deductions during defined offering periods. Eligible employees could elect to withhold up to 15 % of their base earnings to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 85 % of the fair market value on the first day of the offering period or the purchase date, whichever was lower. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP automatically increased on January 1 of each fiscal year by the lesser of ( 1 ) 23 shares, ( 2 ) 1.25 % of the total number of shares outstanding on December 31 of the preceding fiscal year, or ( 3 ) such other amount as the Company’s board of directors may determine.
In April 2024, the Company formally terminated the ESPP. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 , no cash was received from the exercise of purchase rights under the ESPP in each respective period.
As of December 31, 2024 , the Company had issued 95 shares of common stock since inception of the ESPP, and no shares were reserved for future issuance.

At the closing of the Merger, each outstanding option to purchase Old Catheter common stock that had not previously been exercised prior to the closing of the Merger was assumed and converted into options to purchase 75,367 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Replacement Options”). Additionally, no Old Catheter options were amended in connection with the Merger. All the Replacement Options vested in accordance with the original terms of the grants in place at the time of the Merger. As a result, $ 3.4 million of the purchase price consideration, which represented the estimated fair value of Old Catheter’s assumed stock options, and $ 1.1 million of stock-based compensation expense, which represents the excess of the estimated fair value of the Replacement Options over the assumed Old Catheter stock options, were recognized upon the closing of the Merger.

At December 31, 2024 , and December 31, 2023 the Company had available Federal Net Operating Loss (NOL) carryforwards of $ 104.3 million. For State purposes, such NOL carryforwards were $ 63.8 million. The net operating losses begin expiring in 2027. Use of these NOL carryforwards may be significantly limited under the tax rules regarding the use of losses following an ownership change under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 382. The Company experienced a change in control during 2023 and 2024. Accordingly, utilization of its respective consolidated and/or separately computed NOL's is subject to an annual limitation for federal tax purposes under IRC Section 382. Due to this change in control, the Company estimates that $ 46.2 million of $ 104.3 million federal NOL carryforward is effectively eliminated under IRC Section 382. Moreover, $ 61.2 million of its $ 63.8 million state NOL carry forward is also eliminated. As a result of these eliminations, the Company's federal and state NOLs were reduced to approximately $ 58.2 million and $ 2.6 million, respectively, before valuation allowance.
The valuation allowance relates to deferred tax assets for certain items that will be deductible for income tax purposes under very limited circumstances and for which the Company believes it is not more likely than not that it will realize the associated tax benefit. However, in the event that the Company determines that it would be able to realize more or less than the recorded amount of net deferred tax assets, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be recorded in the period such a determination is made. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than- not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the levels of historical taxable income, projections of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more-likely-than- not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowance. The amount of deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could change in the near term if estimates which require significant judgment of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased or decreased. The valuation allowance decreased by $ 9.5 million from $ 20.5 million as of December 31, 2023 to $ 11.0 million as of December 31, 2024.

PeriKard Acquisition
On January 14, 2025, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (“the Agreement”) with Cardiofront, LLC (“Seller”) to purchase the issued and outstanding membership interests of PeriKard, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seller. The primary purpose was to purchase patented technology for commercialization within the broader cardiac treatment/electrophysiology industry. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company issued 275,000 shares of its common stock to the Seller in exchange for 100 % of the membership interests of PeriKard, LLC (“Acquisition”).

The accounting for the Acquisition is incomplete due to the proximity of the closing date of the Acquisition to the date of this filing. As a result, the Company is unable to disclose certain information including the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, nor provisional fair value estimates of the identifiable net assets acquired. Due to its insignificant size relative to the Company, the Company does not expect to provide supplemental pro forma financial information of the combined entity for the current and prior reporting periods.
