The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Readers are cautioned that known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those over which we may have no control and others listed in the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. You can identify some of these forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as “may,” “hope,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “is/are likely to,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements include statements relating to: ● our ability to continue to refine and execute our business plan, including the recruitment of dentists to enroll in our Vivos Integrated Practice (“VIP”) program and utilize The Vivos Method; ● the understanding and adoption by dentists and other healthcare professionals of The Vivos Method as a treatment for dentofacial abnormalities and/or mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”) and snoring in adults; ● our expectations concerning the effectiveness of treatment using The Vivos Method and patient relapse after completion of treatment; ● the potential financial benefits to VIP dentists from treating patients with The Vivos Method; ● our potential profit margin from the enrollment of VIPs, VIP service fees, sales of The Vivos Method treatments and appliances and leases of SleepImage ® home sleep testing rings; ● our ability to properly train VIPs in the use of The Vivos Method inclusive of the services we offer independent dentist for use in treating their patients in their dental practices; ● our ability to formulate, implement and modify as necessary effective sales, marketing and strategic initiatives to drive revenue growth (including, for example, our Medical Integration Division and SleepImage ® home sleep apnea test); ● our ability to identify, acquire and integrate complimentary businesses, assets and/or technologies into our product offerings and overall business model (including products arising from our March 2023 acquisition of intellectual property from Advanced Facialdontics, LLC); ● the viability of our current intellectual property and intellectual property created in the future; ● acceptance by the marketplace of the products and services that we market; ● government regulations and our ability to obtain applicable regulatory approvals and comply with government regulations including under healthcare laws and the rules and regulations of the U.S Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and non-U.S. equivalent regulatory bodies; ● our ability to retain key employees; ● adverse changes in general market conditions for medical devices and the products and services we offer; ● our ability to generate cash flow and profitability and continue as a going concern; ● our future financing plans; and ● our ability to adapt to changes in market conditions (including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, rising inflation and volatile capital markets) which could impair our operations and financial performance. These forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Although we believe that our expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may later be found to be incorrect. Our actual results of operations or the results of other matters that we anticipate herein could be materially different from our expectations. Important risks and factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from our expectations are generally set forth in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and other sections in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should thoroughly read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we refer to with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect. We also direct you to the ‘Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a listing of risk that qualify or forward-looking statements. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Months and Six Months ended June 30, 2023 NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization BioModeling Solutions, Inc. (“BioModeling”) was organized on March 20, 2007 as an Oregon limited liability company, and subsequently incorporated in 2013. On August 16, 2016, BioModeling entered into a share exchange agreement (the “SEA”) with First Vivos, Inc. (“First Vivos”), and Vivos Therapeutics, Inc. (“Vivos”), a Wyoming corporation established on July 7, 2016 to facilitate this share exchange combination transaction. Vivos was formerly named Corrective BioTechnologies, Inc. until its name changed on September 6, 2016 to Vivos Biotechnologies and on March 2, 2018 to Vivos Therapeutics, Inc. and had no substantial pre-combination business activities. First Vivos was incorporated in Texas on November 10, 2015. Pursuant to the SEA, all of the outstanding shares of common stock and warrants of BioModeling and all of the shares of common stock of First Vivos were exchanged for newly issued shares of common stock and warrants of Vivos, the legal acquirer. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, with BioModeling as the acquirer for financial reporting and accounting purposes. Upon the consummation of the merger, the historical financial statements of BioModeling became the Company’s historical financial statements and recorded at their historical carrying amounts. On August 12, 2020, Vivos reincorporated from Wyoming to become a domestic Delaware corporation under Delaware General Corporate Law. Accordingly, as used herein, the term “the Company,” “we,” “us.” “our” and similar terminology refer to Vivos Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. As used herein, the term “Common Stock” refers to the common stock, $ 0.0001 par value per share, of Vivos Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Description of Business We are a medical technology and services company that features a comprehensive suite of proprietary oral appliances and therapeutic treatments. Our products non-surgically treat certain maxillofacial and developmental abnormalities of the mouth and jaws that are closely associated with breathing and sleep disorders such as, mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”) and snoring in adults. The Company offers three separate clinical pathways or programs to providers—Guided Growth and Development, Lifeline, and Complete Airway Repositioning and Expansion (“CARE”). Each program features certain oral appliances coupled with specific therapeutic treatments, and each clinical pathway is intended to address the specific needs of a diverse patient population with different patient journeys. For example, the Guided Growth and Development program features the Vivos Guide and PE x appliances along with CO 2 laser treatments and other adjunctive therapies designed for treating palatal growth and expansion in pediatric patients as they grow. The mid-range priced Lifeline program features a selection of mandibular advancement devices (“MADs”) such as the Versa and Vida Sleep which are FDA 510k cleared for mild-to-moderate OSA in adults, along with the patented Vida appliance, which is FDA 510k cleared as unspecified classification for the alleviation of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (“TMD”) symptoms, bruxism, migraine headaches, and nasal dilation. The Company’s flagship CARE program, which is part of The Vivos Method, features the Company’s patented DNA, mRNA and mmRNA appliances, which are also FDA 510k cleared for mild-to-moderate OSA and snoring in adults. The Vivos Method may also include adjunctive myofunctional, chiropractic/physical therapy, and laser treatments that, when properly used with the CARE appliances, constitute a powerful non-invasive and cost-effective means of reducing or eliminating OSA symptoms. In a small subset of a study, the data has actually shown that The Vivos Method can reverse OSA symptoms in a large portion (up to 80 %) of patients. The primary competitive advantage of The Vivos Method over other OSA therapies is that The Vivos Method’s typical course of treatment is limited in most cases to 12 to 15 months, and it is possible not need lifetime intervention, unlike CPAP and neuro-stimulation implants. Additionally, out of approximately 40,000 patients treated to date worldwide with the Company’s entire current suite of products, there have been very few instances of relapse. 8 The Company offers a suite of diagnostic and support products and services to dental and medical providers and distributors who service patients with OSA or related conditions. Such products and services include (i) VivoScore home sleep screenings and tests (powered by SleepImage ® technology), (ii) AireO2 (an electronic health record program designed specifically for use by dentists treating sleep patients), (iii) Treatment Navigator (a concierge service to assist a provider in educating and supporting the doctors as they navigate insurance coverage, diagnostic indications and treatment options), (iv) Billing Intelligence Services (which optimizes medical and dental reimbursement), (v) advanced training and continuing education courses at the Company’s Vivos Institute in Denver, Colorado, (vi) MyoCorrect, a service through which Vivos-trained providers can provide orofacial myofunctional therapy (“OMT”) to patients via a telemedicine platform, and (vii) the Company’s Medical Integration Division (“MID”), which manages independent medical practices under management and development agreement which pays the Company from six ( 6 %) to eight ( 8 %) percent of all net revenue from sleep-related services as well as development fees. The Company’s business model is to teach, train, and support dentists, medical doctors, and distributors in the use of the Company’s products and services. Dentists who use the Company’s products and services typically enroll in a variety of live or online training and educational programs offered through the Company’s Vivos Institute—an 18,000 sq. ft. facility located near the Denver International Airport. Dentists are able to select the specific program or clinical pathway that they want to focus on, such as Guided Growth and Development or Lifeline or both. They may also enroll in the VIP program for the complete set training, educational, and support services available in all three clinical pathway programs. Dentists enrolled in the VIP Program are referred to as “VIPs.” The Company charges up front enrollment fees to educate and train new providers. The Company also charges for the ancillary support services listed above, and views each product and service as a revenue/profit center. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the December 31, 2022 audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2023. Emerging Growth Company Status The Company is an “emerging growth company” (an “EGC”), as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and as a result, the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. These include, but are not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. 9 Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts EGCs from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-EGC but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company currently expects to retain its status as an EGC until the year ending December 31, 2026, but this status could end sooner under certain circumstances. Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue from the sale of products and services. A significant majority of the Company’s revenues are generated from enrolling dentists as either (i) Guided Growth and Development VIPs (program cost: $ 7,995 ); (ii) Lifeline VIPs (program cost: $ 7,995 ); (iii) combined Guided Growth and Development and Lifeline VIPs (program cost: $ 12,500 ); or Premier Vivos Integrated Providers (Premier VIPs) (program cost: $ 50,000 ). Prior to the second quarter of 2023, the majority of VIP enrollments were Premier VIPs. The other, lower priced enrollments were piloted in prior fiscal quarters on a limited basis. They were officially adopted during the second quarter of 2023. For each VIP program, revenue is recognized when control of the products or services is transferred to customers (i.e., VIP dentists ordering such products or services for their patients) in a manner that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products and services. Following the guidance of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) and the applicable provisions of ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), the Company determines revenue recognition through the following five-step model, which entails: 1) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; 2) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; 3) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; 4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) recognition of revenue when, or as the Company satisfies each performance obligation. Service Revenue VIP Enrollment Revenue The Company reviews its VIP enrollment contracts from a revenue recognition perspective using the 5-step method outlined above. All program enrollees, irrespective of their level of enrollment, are commonly referred to as VIPs, unless it is necessary to specify their particular program. Once it is determined that a contract exists (i.e., a VIP enrollment agreement is executed and payment is received), service revenue related to VIP enrollments is recognized when the underlying services are performed. The price of the Premier VIP enrollment that the VIP pays upon execution of the contract is significant, running at approximately $ 31,500 , with different entry levels for the various programs described above from $ 7,995 to $ 50,000 . Unearned revenue reported on the balance sheet as contract liability represents the portion of fees paid by VIP customers for services that have not yet been performed as of the reporting date and are recorded as the service is rendered. The Company recognizes this revenue as performance obligations are met. Accordingly, the contract liability for unearned revenue is a significant liability for the Company. Provisions for discounts are provided in the same period that the related revenue from the products and/or services is recorded. The Company enters into programs that may provide for multiple performance obligations. Commencing in 2018, the Company began enrolling medical and dental professionals in a one-year program (now known as the Premier VIP Program) which includes training in a highly personalized, deep immersion workshop format which provides the Premier VIP dentist access to a team who is dedicated to creating a successful integrated practice. The key topics covered in training include case selection, clinical diagnosis, appliance design, adjunctive therapies, instructions on ordering the Company’s products, guidance on pricing, instruction on insurance reimbursement protocols and interacting with our proprietary software system and the many features on the Company’s website. The initial training and educational workshop are typically provided within the first 30 to 45 days that a VIP enrolls. Ongoing support and additional training are provided throughout the year and includes access to the Company’s proprietary Airway Intelligence Service (“AIS”) which provides the VIP with resources to help simplify the diagnostic and treatment planning process. AIS is provided as part of the price of each appliance and is not a separate revenue stream. Following the year of training and support, a VIP may pay for seminars and training courses that meet the Provider’s needs on a subscription or a course-by-course basis. 10 VIP enrollment fees include multiple performance obligations which vary on a contract-by-contract basis. The performance obligations included with enrollments may include sleep apnea rings, a six or twelve months BIS subscription, a marketing package, lab credits and the right to sell our appliances. The Company allocates the transaction price of a VIP enrollment contract to each performance obligation under such contract using the relative standalone selling price method. The relative standalone price method is based on the proportion of the standalone selling price of each performance obligation to the sum of the total standalone selling prices of all the performance obligations in the contract. The right to sell is similar to a license of intellectual property because without it the VIP cannot purchase appliances from the Company. The right to sell performance obligation includes the Vivos training and enrollment materials which prepare dentists for treating their patients using The Vivos Method. Because the right to sell is never sold outside of VIP contracts, and VIP contracts are sold for varying prices, the Company believes that it is appropriate to estimate the standalone selling price of this performance obligation using the residual method. As such, the observable prices of other performance obligations under a VIP contract will be deducted from the contract price, with the residual being allocated to the right to sell performance obligation. The Company uses significant judgements in revenue recognition including an estimation of customer life over which it recognizes the right to sell. The Company has determined that Premier VIPs who do not complete sessions 1 and 2 of training rarely complete training at all and fail to participate in the Premier VIP program long term. Since the beginning of the Premier VIP program, just under one-third of new VIP members fall into this category, and the revenue allocated to the right to sell for those VIPs is accelerated at the time in which it becomes remote that a VIP will continue in the program. Revenue is recognized in accordance with each individual performance obligation unless it becomes remote the VIP will continue, at which time the remainder of revenue is accelerated and recognized in the following month. Those VIPs who complete training typically remain active for a much longer period, and revenue from the right to sell for those VIPs is recognized over the estimated period of which those VIPs will remain active. Because of various factors occurring year to year, the Company has estimated customer life for each year a contract is initiated. The estimated customer lives are calculated separately for each year and have been estimated at 15 months for 2020, 14 months for 2021, 18 months for 2022, and 23 months for 2023. The right to sell is recognized on a sum of the years’ digits method over the estimated customer life for each year as this approximates the rate of decline in VIPs purchasing behaviors we have observed. Other Service Revenue In addition to VIP enrollment service revenue, in 2020 the Company launched BIS, an additional service on a monthly subscription basis, which includes the Company’s AireO2 medical billing and practice management software. Revenue for these services is recognized monthly during the month the services are rendered. Also, the Company offers its VIPs the ability to provide MyoCorrect to the VIP’s patients as part of treatment with The Vivos Method. The program includes packages of treatment sessions that are sold to the VIPs, and resold to their patients. Revenue for MyoCorrect services is recognized over the 12-month performance period as therapy sessions occur. Allocation of Revenue to Performance Obligations The Company identifies all goods and services that are delivered separately under a sales arrangement and allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on relative fair values. These fair values approximate the prices for the relevant performance obligation that would be charged if those services were sold separately, and are recognized over the relevant service period of each performance obligation. After allocation to the performance obligations, any remainder is allocated to the right to sell under the residual method and is recognized over the estimated customer life. In general, revenues are separated between durable medical equipment (product revenue) and education and training services (service revenue). 11 Treatment of Discounts and Promotions From time to time, the Company offers various discounts to its customers. These include the following: 1) Discount for cash paid in full 2) Conference or trade show incentives, such as subscription enrollment into the SleepImage ® home sleep test program, or free trial period for the SleepImage ® lease program 3) Negotiated concessions on annual enrollment fee 4) Credits/rebates to be used towards future product orders such as lab rebates The amount of the discount is determined up front prior to the sale. Accordingly, measurement is determined before the sale occurs and revenue is recognized based on the terms agreed upon between the Company and the customer over the performance period. In rare circumstances, a discount has been given after the sale during a conference which is offering a discount to full price. In this situation revenue is measured and the change in transaction price is allocated over the remaining performance obligation. The amount of consideration can vary by customer due to promotions and discounts authorized to incentivize a sale. Prior to the sale, the customer and the Company agree upon the amount of consideration that the customer will pay in exchange for the services the Company provides. The net consideration that the customer has agreed to pay is the expected value that is recognized as revenue over the service period. At the end of each reporting period, the Company updates the transaction price to represent the circumstances present at the end of the reporting period and any changes in circumstances during the reporting period. Product Revenue In addition to revenue from services, the Company also generates revenue from the sale of its line of oral devices and preformed guides (known as appliances or systems) to its customers, the VIP dentists. These include the DNA appliance ® , mRNA appliance ® , the mmRNA appliance, the Versa, the Vida Sleep, the Vida, the PE x , Starter, VG, VG x and others. The Company expanded its product offerings in the first quarter of 2023 via the acquisition of certain U.S. and international patents, product rights, and other miscellaneous intellectual property from Advanced Facialdontics, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“AFD”). Revenue from appliance sales is recognized when control of product is transferred to the VIP in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products. The VIP in turn charges the VIP’s patient and or patient’s insurance a fee for the appliance and for his or her professional services in measuring, fitting, installing the appliance and educating the patient as to its use. The Company contracts with VIPs for the sale of the appliance and is not involved in the sale of the products and services from the VIP to the VIP’s patient. The Company’s appliances are similar to a retainer that is worn in the mouth after braces are removed. Each appliance is unique and is fitted to the patient. The Company utilizes its network of certified VIPs throughout the United States and in some non-U.S. jurisdictions to sell the appliances to their customers as well as in two dental centers that the Company operates. The Company utilizes third party contract manufacturers or labs to produce its unique, patented appliances and preformed guides. The manufacturer designated by the Company produces the appliance in strict adherence to the Company’s patents, design files, treatments, processes and procedures and under the direction and specific instruction of the Company, ships the appliance to the VIP who ordered the appliance from the Company. All of the Company’s contract manufacturers are required to follow the Company’s master design files in production of appliances or the lab will be in violation of the FDA’s rules and regulations. The Company performed an analysis under ASC 606-10-55-36 through 55-40 and concluded it is the principal in the transaction and is reporting revenue gross. The Company bills the VIP the contracted price for the appliance which is recorded as product revenue. Product revenue is recognized once the appliance ships to the VIP under the direction of the Company. In support of the VIPs using the Company’s appliances for their patients, the Company utilizes a team of trained technicians to measure, order and fit each appliance. Upon scheduling the patient (which is the Company’s customer in this case), the center takes a deposit and reviews the patient’s insurance coverage. Revenue is recognized differently for Company owned centers than for revenue from VIPs. The Company recognizes revenue in the centers after the appliance is received from the manufacturer and once the appliance is fitted and provided to the patient. 12 The Company offers certain dentists (known as Clinical Advisors) discounts from standard VIP pricing. This is done to help encourage Clinical Advisors, who help the VIPs with technical aspects of the Company’s products, to purchase Company products for their own practices. In addition, from time to time, the Company offers credits to incentivize VIPs to adopt the Company’s products and increase case volume within their practices. These incentives are recorded as a liability at issuance and deducted from the related product sale at the time the credit is used. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on existing facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, to determine the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company’s significant accounting estimates include, but are not necessarily limited to, assessing collectability on accounts receivable, the determination of customer life and breakage related to recognizing revenue for VIP contracts, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets; valuation assumptions for assets acquired in asset acquisitions; valuation assumptions for stock options, warrants, warrant liabilities and equity instruments issued for goods or services; deferred income taxes and the related valuation allowances; and the evaluation and measurement of contingencies. Additionally, the full impact of COVID-19 is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated. However, the Company has made appropriate accounting estimates based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. To the extent there are material differences between the Company’s estimates and the actual results, the Company’s future consolidated results of operations will be affected. Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less that are freely available for the Company’s immediate and general business use are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable, Net Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers in the ordinary course of business and are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Accounts receivables are stated at the net amount expected to be collected, using an expected credit loss methodology to determine the allowance for expected credit losses. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and determines the appropriate allowance for expected credit losses based on a combination of factors, including the aging of the receivables, historical collection trends, and charge-offs. When the Company is aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, the Company may individually evaluate the related receivable to determine the allowance for expected credit losses. The Company uses specific criteria to determine uncollectible receivables to be charged-off, including bankruptcy filings, the referral of customer accounts to outside parties for collection, and the length that accounts remain past due. Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which ranges from 4 to 5 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is recognized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the improvement or the term of the respective leases which range between 5 and 7 years. The Company does not begin depreciating assets until assets are placed in service. Intangible Assets, Net Intangible assets consist of assets acquired from First Vivos and costs paid to (i) MyoCorrect, from whom the Company acquired certain assets related to its OMT service in March 2021, (ii) Lyon Management and Consulting, LLC and its affiliates (“Lyon Dental”), from whom the Company acquired certain medical billing and practice management software, licenses and contracts in April 2021 (including the software underlying AireO2) for work related to the Company’s acquired patents, intellectual property and customer contracts and (iii) AFD, from whom the Company acquired certain U.S. and international patents, trademarks, product rights, and other miscellaneous intellectual property in March 2023. The identifiable intangible assets acquired from First Vivos and Lyon Dental for customer contracts are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the assets, which approximates 5 years (See Note 5). The costs paid to MyoCorrect, Lyon Dental and AFD for patents and intellectual property are amortized over the life of the underlying patents, which approximates 15 years. 13 Goodwill Goodwill is the excess of acquisition cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually or whenever indicators of impairment exist. These indicators may include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business or other factors. We test for impairment annually as of December 31. There were no quantitative or qualitative indicators of impairment that occurred for the year ended December 31, 2022, and for the three or six months ended June 30, 2023 and accordingly, no impairment was required. Impairment of Long-lived Assets We review and evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, (2) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. We measure the carrying amount of the asset against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with it. Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value of the asset being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized. The impairment loss would be calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. The fair value is measured based on quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including the discounted value of estimated future cash flows. The evaluation of asset impairment requires us to make assumptions about future cash flows over the life of the asset being evaluated. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. There were no quantitative or qualitative indicators of impairment that occurred for the year ended December 31, 2022, and for the three or six months ended June 30, 2023 and accordingly, no impairment was required. Equity Offering Costs Commissions, legal fees and other costs that are directly associated with equity offerings are capitalized as deferred offering costs, pending a determination of the success of the offering. Deferred offering costs related to successful offerings are charged to additional paid-in capital in the period it is determined that the offering was successful. Deferred offering costs related to unsuccessful equity offerings are recorded as expense in the period when it is determined that an offering is unsuccessful. Accounting for Payroll Protection Program Loan The Company accounted for its U.S. Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”) loan as a debt instrument under ASC 470, Debt . The Company recognized the original principal balance as a financial liability with interest accrued at the contractual rate over the term of the loan. On January 21, 2022, the PPP loan received by the Company on May 8, 2020 was forgiven by the SBA in its entirety, which includes approximately $ 1.3 million in principal. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on the forgiveness of the loan in the quarter ended March 31, 2022 under non-operating income (expense). Employee Retention Tax Credit The employee retention tax credit (“ERTC”) for 2020 was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act”) and amended by the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 (the “Relief Act”). The ERTC provided for changes in the employee retention credit for 2020 and provided an additional credit for the first, second and third calendar quarters of 2021. Employers are eligible for the credit if they experienced either a full or partial suspension of operations during any calendar quarter because of governmental orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic or if they experienced a significant decline in gross receipts based on a comparison of quarterly revenue results for 2020 and/or 2021 and the corresponding quarters in 2019. The ERTC is a refundable credit that employers can claim on qualified wages paid to employees, including certain health insurance costs. 14 According to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Notice 2021-20, “Guidance on the Employee Retention Credit under Section 2301 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act,” the period during which there is a significant decline in gross receipts is determined by identifying the first quarter in 2020 in which the gross receipts are less than 50 % of its gross receipts for the same period in 2019. The employee retention credit is available only to eligible employers. Section 2301(c)(2)(A) of the CARES Act defines the term “eligible employer” as any employer carrying on a trade or business during calendar year 2020, and, with respect to any calendar quarter, for which (1) the operation of the trade or business carried on during calendar year 2020 is fully or partially suspended due to orders from an appropriate governmental authority limiting commerce, travel, or group meetings (for commercial, social, religious, or other purposes) due to COVID-19, or (2) such calendar quarter is within the period in which the employer had a significant decline in gross receipts, as described in section 2301(c)(2)(B) of the CARES Act. VIP dentists and potential VIPs were forced to close their offices during 2020 as a result of COVID-19. Therefore, the Company qualifies as an eligible employer under this under the CARES Act. Section 2301(c)(3)(A)(ii) of the CARES Act also provides that if an eligible employer averaged 100 or fewer employees in 2019 (a “small eligible employer”), qualified wages are those wages paid by the eligible employer with respect to an employee during any period described in section 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(I) of the CARES Act (relating to a calendar quarter for which the operation of a trade or business is fully or partially suspended due to a governmental order) or during a calendar quarter within the period described in section 2301(c)(2)(A)(ii)(II) of the CARES Act (relating to a significant decline in gross receipts). The Company averaged fewer than 80 employees in 2019 and is therefore considered a small eligible employer under the CARES Act. Healthcare plan expenses were not included in the analysis, although they are eligible if an employee has paid health insurance through their paycheck. Section 2301(c)(5)(B) of the CARES Act provides that “wages” include amounts paid by an eligible employer to provide and maintain a group health plan (as defined in section 5000(b)(1) of the Code), but only to the extent that the amounts are excluded from the gross income of employees by reason of section 106(a) of the Code. The Company pays the first $500 of healthcare insurance for each employee, which generally covers the monthly cost of their insurance. Because of this, the Company conservatively did not include any of the cost of insurance in its analysis. Additionally, PPP loan amounts were deducted from the amount of total wages paid before calculating the qualified ERTC wages. The Company applied for the ERTC using Vivos Therapeutics Inc.’s payroll which covers 95% of its employees . As indicated above, for 2020, companies were eligible for a credit equal to 50 percent of the first ten thousands of qualified wages paid per employee in the aggregate of each eligible quarter. Therefore, the maximum ERTC for the Company for 2020 is five thousand ($5,000) per employee. For the second and fourth quarters of 2020, the total eligible credit was limited to approximately $0.5 million . For 2021, the ERTC was 70 % of the first ten thousand qualified wages paid per employee each quarter. Accordingly, the credit was limited to approximately $ 0.7 million. As there is no authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP on accounting for government assistance to for-profit business entities, the Company accounted for the ERTC by analogy to ASC 450, Contingencies . Accordingly, under ASC 450, entities would treat the ERTCs (whether received in cash or as an offset to current or future payroll taxes) as if they were gain contingencies. When applying ASC 450-30, entities would not consider the probability of complying with the terms of the ERC program but, rather, would defer any recognition in the income statement until all uncertainties are resolved and the income is “realized” or “realizable” (i.e., upon receipt of the funds or formal notice by the IRS that the company is entitled to such funds). In our case, the Company elected to follow a more conservative approach and instead of recognizing a receivable for amounts to be received when the amended tax forms were filed in 2022, it was decided to wait for the notice from IRS and cash was received. As for financial statement presentation, it is believed that either classifying the amounts as a reduction to payroll tax expense (expense off-set is however contrary to U.S. GAAP) or as other income to be acceptable with appropriate disclosure of the election made by the company. However, the IRS issued a renewed warning regarding the ERTC on March 7, 2023 urging taxpayers to carefully review the ERTC guidelines. The Company continues to evaluate additional information from the IRS, and elected to disclose the funds received as a separate line item under long-term liabilities on the balance sheet, until more information becomes available from the IRS. As a result, for the period ending June 30, 2023, approximately $ 1.2 million was recorded under long-term liabilities. Loss and Gain Contingencies The Company is subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that an asset has been impaired, or a liability has been incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If some amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the Company accrues that amount. Alternatively, when no amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the lowest amount in the range. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the range of the loss is estimable, then the Company discloses the range of the possible loss. If the Company cannot estimate the range of loss, it will disclose the reason why it cannot estimate the range of loss. The Company regularly evaluates current information available to it to determine whether an accrual is required, an accrual should be adjusted and if a range of possible loss should be disclosed. Legal fees related to contingencies are charged to general and administrative expense as incurred. Contingencies that may result in gains are not recognized until realization is assured, which typically requires collection in cash. 15 Share-Based Compensation The Company measures the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for all equity awards granted, including stock options, based on the fair market value of the award as of the grant date. The Company computes the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model. The Company estimates the expected term using the simplified method which is the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the respective options. The Company determines the expected price volatility based on the historical volatilities of shares of the Company’s peer group as the Company does not have a sufficient trading history for its Common Stock. Industry peers consist of several public companies in the bio-tech industry similar to the Company in size, stage of life cycle and financial leverage. The Company intends to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of the Company’s own stock price becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to the Company, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be utilized in the calculation. The Company recognizes the cost of the equity awards over the period that services are provided to earn the award, usually the vesting period. For awards granted which contain a graded vesting schedule, and the only condition for vesting is a service condition, compensation cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period as if the award were, in substance, a single award. The Company recognizes the impact of forfeitures and cancellations in the period that the forfeiture or cancellation occurs, rather than estimating the number of awards that are not expected to vest in accounting for stock-based compensation. Research and Development Costs related to research and development are expensed as incurred and include costs associated with research and development of new products and enhancements to existing products. Research and development costs incurred were approximately $ 0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and approximately $ 0.1 million and $ 0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These are recorded on the statement of operations under general and administrative expense. Leases Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, accrued expenses, and operating lease liability - current and non-current portion in our balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date as the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. The determination of our incremental borrowing rate requires management judgment based on information available at lease commencement. The operating lease ROU assets also include adjustments for prepayments, accrued lease payments and exclude lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options. Operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Lease agreements entered into after the adoption of ASC 842 that include lease and non-lease components are accounted for as a single lease component. Lease agreements with a noncancelable term of less than 12 months are not recorded on our balance sheets. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, under which deferred income taxes are recognized based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results, or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The recorded valuation allowance is based on significant estimates and judgments and if the facts and circumstances change, the valuation allowance could materially change. In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. 16 Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period presented. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of Common Stock, including stock options, convertible debt, Preferred Stock, and warrants, to the extent dilutive. Warrant Accounting The Company accounts for its warrants and financial instruments as either equity or liabilities based upon the characteristics and provisions of each instrument, in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging . Warrants classified as equity are recorded at fair value as of the date of issuance on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and no further adjustments to their valuation are made. Warrants classified as liabilities and other financial instruments that require separate accounting as liabilities are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at their fair value on the date of issuance and will be revalued on each subsequent balance sheet date until such instruments are exercised or expire, with any changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded as other income or expense. Management estimates the fair value of these liabilities using the Black-Scholes model and assumptions that are based on the individual characteristics of the warrants or instruments on the valuation date, as well as assumptions for future financings, expected volatility, expected life, yield, and risk-free interest rate. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Presented below is a discussion of new accounting standards including deadlines for adoption assuming that the Company retains its designation as an EGC. Recently Adopted Standards. The following recently issued accounting standards were adopted by the Company during the period ended June 30, 2023: In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. This guidance requires use of an impairment model (known as the “current expected credit losses”, or CECL model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes, as an allowance, its estimate of expected credit losses. The Company adopted the new accounting standard on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception, including $ 7.2 and $ 12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, resulting in an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 86.7 million as of June 30, 2023. 17 Net cash used in operating activities amounted to approximately $ 6.4 and $ 10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had total liabilities of approximately $ 11.6 million. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $ 3.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, which will not be sufficient to fund operations and strategic objectives over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Without additional financing, these factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company previously disclosed that its goal was to decrease costs and increase revenues during 2023 with the aim of becoming cash flow positive from operations by the first quarter of 2024 without the need for additional financing, if possible. The Company has successfully implemented cost savings measures and significantly reduced cash used in operations. However, sales have not grown during 2023 as anticipated due to external factors (including 2023 governmental investigations of and private lawsuits related to non-Vivos, non-FDA approved devices purporting to treat sleep apnea), and also as we product offerings and strategies are refined. As such, the Company now anticipates that it will likely be required to obtain additional financing to satisfy its cash needs, as management continues to work towards increasing revenue and achieving cash flow positive operations in the foreseeable future. Until a state of cash flow positivity is reached, management is reviewing all options to obtain additional financing to fund operations. This financing is expected to come primarily from the issuance of equity securities or indebtedness in order to sustain operations until the Company can achieve profitability and positive cash flows, if ever. There can be no assurances, however, that adequate additional funding will be available on favorable terms, or at all. If such funds are not available in the future, the Company may be required to delay, significantly modify or terminate some or all of its operations, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company and stockholders. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by applicable regulations of the SEC, that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on its financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. NOTE 3 - REVENUE, CONTRACT ASSETS AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES Net Revenue For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the components of revenue from contracts with customers and the related timing of revenue recognition is set forth in the table below (in thousands): SCHEDULE OF REVENUE FROM CONTRACT WITH CUSTOMERS Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Product revenue: Appliance sales to VIPs $ 1,521 (1) $ 2,074 (1) $ 3,219 (1) $ 3,937 Center revenue 25 219 99 405 Total product revenue 1,546 2,293 3,318 4,342 Service revenue VIP 918 1,161 2,207 2,052 Billing intelligence services 219 (3) 252 (3) 433 (3) 672 Sleep testing services 313 173 574 210 Myofunctional therapy services 261 257 478 477 Sponsorship/seminar/other 138 48 243 75 Total service revenue 1,849 1,891 3,935 3,486 Total revenue $ 3,395 $ 4,184 $ 7,253 $ 7,828 (1) Appliance revenue from the sale of products is typically fixed at inception of the contract and is recognized at the point in time when shipment of the related products occurs.

In April 2019, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of a stock and option award plan (the “2019 Plan”), under which shares were reserved for future issuance for Common Stock options, restricted stock awards and other equity awards. The 2019 Plan permits grants of equity awards to employees, directors, consultants and other independent contractors. The Company’s shareholders originally approved a total reserve of 333,334 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 2019 Plan. At each of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held in 2020 and 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved amendments to the 2019 Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance thereunder by an aggregate of 2,033,333 shares of Common Stock such that, after such amendments, and prior to any grants, 2,366,667 shares of Common Stock were available for issuance. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company issued stock options to purchase 317,500 and 265,000 shares of Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $ 0.41 and $ 1.29 per share respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company issued stock options to purchase 317,500 and 555,000 shares of Commons Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $ 0.41 and $ 2.32 per share respectively, to certain members of the Board of Directors, employees and consultants.

NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, options for the purchase of 317,500 and 265,000 , respectively, of common stock were granted to the Company’s directors, officers, employees and consultants. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, options for the purchase of 317,500 and 555,000 , respectively, of common stock were granted to the Company’s directors, officers, employees and consultants. NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period. The provision for income taxes for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21 % to pre-tax income primarily due to permanent differences, state taxes and change in valuation allowance. A full valuation allowance was in effect, which resulted in the Company’s zero tax expense. 24 Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred since inception. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as the Company’s projections for future growth. On the basis of this evaluation, a full valuation allowance has been recorded at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 to record the deferred tax asset that is not likely to be realized. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgement including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes. NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COVID-19 Pandemic In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus known as COVID-19 was reported to have surfaced in China, and by March 2020 the spread of the virus resulted in a world-wide pandemic. By March 2020, the U.S. economy had been largely shut down by mass quarantines and government mandated stay-in-place orders (the “Orders”) to halt the spread of the virus, now widely acknowledged to have been generally ineffective, and in many ways, harmful. As a result, nearly all of these Orders have been relaxed or lifted, but there is considerable uncertainty about whether the Orders will be reinstated should a new COVID-19 variant or entirely new virus emerge. Our business was materially impacted by COVID-19 in 2020 and to some extent thereafter and through the early part of 2023 due to the actions of governmental bodies that mandated quarantines and lockdowns that resulted in many of our VIPs and potential VIPs having to close their offices. The impact of COVID-19 on our business diminished somewhat as 2023 has progressed. However, it appears that the latest COVID-19 subvariants evoke generally milder symptoms and do not pose the same health or economic threat as previous strains. However, the residual effects of the pandemic on dental workforce availability as well as patient precautionary measures continued to negatively impact our VIP dental practices and our revenue across the U.S. and Canada during 2022 and into 2023. We believe new enrollments during the second quarter of 2023 continue to be negatively impacted by the ongoing overall workforce uncertainties in the dental market. In addition, new variants of COVID-19 continue to arise, and such variants may in the future cause an adverse effect on the dental market. As such, the long-term financial impact on our business of COVID-19 as well as these other matters cannot reasonably be fully estimated at this time. Inflation and War in Ukraine The Company believes the U.S. experience a period of inflation which has increased (and may continue to increase) the Company and its suppliers’ costs as well as the end cost of the Company’s products to consumers. To date, the Company has been able to manage inflation risk without a material adverse impact on its business or results of operations, and inflation has begun to abate somewhat during 2023. However, inflationary pressures (including increases in the price of raw material components of the Company’s appliances) made it necessary for the Company to adjust its standard pricing for its appliance products effective May 1, 2022. The full impact of such price adjustments on sales or demand for the Company’s products is not fully known at this time and may require the Company to adjust other aspects of its business as it seek to grow revenue and, ultimately, achieve profitability and positive cash flow from operations. An additional inflation-related risk is the Federal Reserve’s response, which up to this point has been to raise interest rates. Such actions have, in times past, created unintended consequences in terms of the impact on housing starts, overall manufacturing, capital markets, and banking. If such disruptions become systemic, as occurred in the recession of 2008, then the impact on the Company’s revenue, earnings potential and access to capital of both inflation and inflation-fighting responses would be impossible to know or calculate. These conditions could cause an economic recession or depression to commence, and if such recession or depression is sustained, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company business as demand for its products could decrease. Such conditions have also had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on the capital markets, with public stock price decreases and volatility, which could make it more difficult for the Company to raise needed capital at the appropriate time. 25 Operating Leases The Company has entered into various operating lease agreements for certain offices, medical facilities and training facilities. These leases have original lease periods expiring between 2022 and 2029. Most leases include an option to renew and the exercise of a lease renewal option typically occurs at the discretion of both parties. For purposes of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms are deemed not to include options to extend the lease until it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. In January 2017, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement for 2,220 square feet of office in Johnstown, Colorado that was to commence on March 1, 2018 and end February 28, 2025.

When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it transacts and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the measurement of fair value: Level 1-Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date Level 2-Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability, either directly or indirectly through market collaboration, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability Level 3-Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities approximated their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. As discussed in Note 8, on January 9, 2023, the Company closed on the Private Placement for the sale by the Company of shares of the Company’s common stock and the issuance of pre-funded warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,666,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $ 0.0001 per share, and the issuance of warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,666,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $ 1.20 per share. The warrants are initially exercisable commencing January 9, 2023 through their expiration date of July 9, 2028. The liability associated with those warrants was initially recorded at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet upon issuance, and subsequently re-measured as of March 31, 2023, and June 30, 2023. The changes in the fair value between issuance, the March 31, 2023 measurement date and the June 30, 2023 measurement date are recorded as a component of other income (expense), in the consolidated statement of operations. 28 Recurring Fair Value Measurements For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any assets and liabilities classified as Level 1 or Level 3. The Company has concluded that the warrants issued in connection with the private placement, met the definition of a liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and has classified the liability as Level 3. The following fair value hierarchy table present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023: SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT ON RECURRING BASIS Fair Value Measurement as of June 30, 2023 (In thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Balance Warrant liability $ - $ - $ 2,200 $ 2,200 Total $ - $ - $ 2,200 $ 2,200 The following table represent a reconciliation of the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023: SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE LIABILITIES ON RECURRING BASIS Warrant Liability (In thousands) Beginning balance, January 1 $ - Issuance of warrants 14,453 Exercise of warrants ( 2,847 ) Change in fair value upon re-measurement ( 10,273 ) Ending balance, March 31 $ 1,333 Change in fair value upon re-measurement 867 Ending balance, June 30 $ 2,200 The Company has re-measured the liability to estimate fair value at June 30, 2023, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE PRICING MODEL January 9, 2023 March 31, 2023 June 30, 2023 Measurement date closing price of Common Stock (1) $ 1.44 $ 0.34 $ 0.51 Contractual term (years) (2) 5.5 5.3 5.0 Risk-free interest rate 3.6 % 3.5 % 4.1 % Volatility 100 % 100 % 100 % Dividend yield 0 % 0 % 0 % (1) Based on the trading value of common stock of Vivos Therapeutics, Inc. as of January 9, 2023 and each presented period ending date. (2) The valuation of warrants is based on the expected term. 29 The Company’s policy is to recognize asset or liability transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as of the actual date of the events or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no transfers of its assets or liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy. Significant Concentrations Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions, the balances of which frequently exceed federally insured limits. Management monitors the soundness of these financial institutions and believes the Company’s risk is negligible. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. If any of the financial institutions with whom the Company does business was to be placed into receivership, the Company may be unable to access the cash they have on deposit with such institutions. If the Company were unable to access cash and cash equivalents as needed, the financial position and ability to operate the business could be adversely affected. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents with three financial institutions in the United States with an aggregate balance of $ 3.9 million. Generally, credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is diversified due to the number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across different geographies and industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations on certain customers and generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable. The Company maintains reserves for potential bad debts. 30 Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Some of the numbers included herein have been rounded for the convenience of presentation. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Overview We are a revenue stage medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative treatment alternatives for patients with dentofacial abnormalities and/or patients diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”) and snoring in adults. We believe our technologies and conventions represent a significant improvement in the treatment of mild to moderate OSA versus other treatments such as continuous positive airway pressure (“CPAP”) or palliative oral appliance therapies. Our alternative treatments are part of The Vivos Method . The Vivos Method is an advanced therapeutic protocol, which often combines the use of customized oral appliance specifications and proprietary clinical treatments developed by our company and prescribed by specially trained dentists in cooperation with their medical colleagues. Published studies have shown that using our customized appliances and clinical treatments led to significantly lower Apnea Hypopnea Index scores and have improved other conditions associated with OSA. Approximately 40,000 patients have been treated to date worldwide with our entire current suite of products by more than 1,800 trained dentists. Our business model is focused around dentists, and our program to train independent dentists and offer them other value-added services in connection with their ordering and use of The Vivos Method for patients is called the Vivos Integrated Practice (“VIP”) program. See Note 1 to the accompanying financial statements for additional background information on our Company and current product and service offerings. Impact of COVID-19 In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus known as COVID-19 was reported to have surfaced in China, and by March 2020 the spread of the virus resulted in a world-wide pandemic. By March 2020, the U.S. economy had been largely shut down by mass quarantines and government mandated stay-in-place orders (the “Orders”) to halt the spread of the virus, now widely acknowledged to have been generally ineffective, and in many ways, harmful. As a result, nearly all of these Orders have been relaxed or lifted, but there is considerable uncertainty about whether the Orders will be reinstated should a new COVID-19 variant or entirely new virus emerge. Our business was materially impacted by COVID-19 in 2020 and to some extent thereafter through the early part of 2023 due to the actions of governmental bodies that mandated quarantines and lockdowns that resulted in many of our VIPs and potential VIPs having to close their offices. The impact of COVID-19 on our business diminished somewhat as 2023 has progressed. It appears that the latest COVID-19 subvariants evoke generally milder symptoms and do not pose the same health or economic threat as previous strains. However, the residual effects of the pandemic on dental workforce availability as well as patient precautionary measures continued to negatively impact our VIP dental practices and our revenue across the U.S. and Canada during 2022 and into 2023. We believe new enrollments during the second quarter of 2023 continue to be negatively impacted by the ongoing overall workforce uncertainties in the dental market. In addition, new variants of COVID-19 continue to arise, and such variants may in the future cause an adverse effect on the dental market. As such, the long-term financial impact on our business of COVID-19 as well as these other matters cannot reasonably be fully estimated at this time. 31 Material Items, Trends and Risks Impacting Our Business We believe that the following items and trends may be useful in better understanding our results of operations. New VIP Enrollments (Service Revenue). Enrolling denta1 practices as VIPs is the first step in our ability to generate new revenue. As part of the VIP enrollment fee, we enter into a service contract with VIPs under which they receive training on the use of the Vivos treatment modalities. VIPs have the ability to start generating revenue for us and themselves after this training. To entice dentists to enroll as VIPs, we have worked with different marketing programs (which we generally call a “discovery track”) with respect to the payment of VIPs enrollment fee, including discounts and payment plans. Once VIPs execute their VIP enrollment agreement, the discovery track allows the VIP 45 to 60 days to obtain financing and pay the enrollment fee. Ongoing support and additional training is provided throughout the year under the services contract, which includes access to our proprietary Airway Intelligence Services, which provides the VIP with resources to help simplify the sleep apnea diagnostic and Vivos treatment planning process. In addition to enrollment service revenue, we offer additional services, such as our Billing Intelligence Services offering, and MyoCorrect orofacial myofunctional therapy services, which was introduced in April 2021. Revenue for these services is recognized as the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with ASC 606. We are also engaging in strategic collaborations to market the benefits of the Vivos treatment modalities and VIP enrollment to dentists, including our cooperative relationships with various medical providers to deliver diagnostic and medical consultation services to people across North America who suffer from OSA. We recognize revenue on VIP enrollments once the contract is executed, payment is received, and as the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with ASC 606. Product Sales Revenue. Enrolling new VIPs is key to our ability to generate revenue, but equally as important is the number of Vivos treatment case starts that our VIPs commence, as these lead to appliance orders and related revenue. Once a VIP is fully trained, we encourage them to start cases. However, our experience has been that VIPs typically start slowly as they introduce The Vivos Method into their practices. While we work with VIPs to screen their patients for OSA with our SleepImage ® home sleep apnea ring test (which we expect will encourage Vivos Method case starts), not all VIPs incorporate our The Vivos Method into their practices at the same rate. We utilize Practice Advisors to help VIPs with onboarding and starting and increasing case starts over time. We believe VIPs can recoup their investment in VIP enrollment with approximately eight Vivos Method case starts, but as noted above, many VIPs start and also maintain their case starts at a significantly slower rate. We presently have a concentration of active VIPs who regularly start new Vivos Method treatment cases. Approximately 31% of our VIPs initiated a new case during the first six months of 2023. We are working not only to increase the number of VIPs overall, but the number of active VIPs in terms of case starts. More active VIPs are also more likely to take advantage of our other service revenue generating offerings such as MyoCorrect orofacial myofunctional therapy and medical Billing Intelligence Services. In addition, an important aspect of our strategy to increase product revenues relates to the products and related intellectual property we acquired in March 2023 from Advanced Facialdontics, LLC (“AFD”), including the POD ® , a custom single arch device with an FDA 510(k) clearance for treating TMD and/or Bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching). During the remainder of 2023 and beyond, we will look to increase sales of these acquired products, but we may be unable to do so to our advantage. On June 1, 2023, we entered into a non-exclusive distribution agreement with a leading supplier of respiratory products such as continuous positive airway pressure (“CPAP”) in the United States. The intent of the agreement is to explore, during a 90-day trial period, a business arrangement under which the supplier will have the right to distribute our products in the United States. Products that will be distributed under the agreement include the products we acquired from AFD, notably the POD ® (being rebranded as the Vida™), NightBlock (being rebranded as VidaSleep ™ ) and Versa devices. However, either party may terminate this agreement during the 90-day trial period, and therefore it is uncertain at this time if our agreement with the supplier will continue or have a positive impact on our product sales. 32 Marketing to DSOs . During the second half of 2021, we increased our efforts to market The Vivos Method and related products and services to larger dental support organizations (“DSOs”). Marketing to DSOs creates an opportunity to enroll and onboard multiple dental practices as VIPs under one common ownership structure. This would allow us to leverage training and support across multiple VIP practices and gain economies of scale with the goal of faster growth, both in VIP enrollments and in Vivos case starts. As of June 30, 2023, we believe we have made important progress in penetrating this market, but as we cautioned previously, DSOs tend to move slowly when adopting new technologies or programs. Our other dentist enrollment program, which we refer to as the Airway Alliance Program (“AAP”), was also established in the fourth quarter of 2021 and launched in the first quarter of 2022. This program is designed to attract the vast majority of the estimated 200,000 U.S. and Canadian dentists who are being strongly encouraged by the American Dental Association to screen their patients for sleep apnea. The AAP gives these dentists a simple yet profitable way to screen their patients for mild to moderate OSA using the SleepImage ® home sleep test. Patients with mild to moderate OSA can be referred to a fully trained local VIP dentist for treatment. The AAP program did not contribute meaningfully to revenue during the second quarter of 2023. Clinical Trial Work . Our efforts to engage in research to demonstrate the clinical efficacy of our products and obtain additional regulatory clearances for the use of our products is an important aspect of our overall strategy. In this regard, on May 29, 2023, we and Stanford University executed an agreement to commence a sponsored clinical research study to evaluate the efficacy of our FDA-cleared DNA appliance compared to the standard of care, CPAP for treatment of sleep apnea. Our DNA device is currently indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate sleep apnea and jaw repositioning in adults. Enrollment of 150 patients with moderate to severe sleep apnea (apnea-hypopnea index score of 15 or greater) will be randomly assigned to either treatment with our FDA-cleared DNA appliance or CPAP. The protocol has been finalized and enrollment will begin later in 2023. This trial may not meet its designated endpoints, and therefore additional FDA clearances for the DNA device may not be obtained. Distribution Agreement with DME Company. On June 1, 2023, we entered into a non-exclusive distribution agreement with a leading supplier in the United States of respiratory products, such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) equipment. Our new distributor currently provides respiratory products to approximately 1.8 million patients nationwide. Pursuant to this Agreement, our distributor has begun to distribute certain of our products in the United States, including the Vida™, VidaSleep™, and Versa®. The distribution agreement is subject to a 90-day trial period in Colorado and Florida which ends on August 31, 2023, during which either party may terminate the agreement. However, within weeks of starting the trial, our distributor reported an initial 36% positive patient response, and requested a modification to our agreement that would be exclusive. The Company is currently negotiating the terms of exclusivity, but we believe the agreement will extend beyond the trial period. Plans are already underway to extend the scope of the distribution territory beyond the initial two markets into Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, New Jersey and at least one other major market. Others are expected to follow soon thereafter. We are hopeful that this new form of arrangement with DME companies will help us increase our product revenues during the second half of 2023 and beyond. Impact on Sales from Unregistered Oral Appliance Publicity. On or about March 1, 2023, CBS News reported the tragic case of a woman with a malocclusion and breathing problem who had received treatment via a fixed oral appliance known as the AGGA (Anterior Growth Guidance Appliance). According to the televised CBS report, the device created serious issues with her dentition and jaws, resulting in the loss of several anterior teeth. The patient filed a $10 million lawsuit against the treating dentist. News of this lawsuit quickly spread throughout the country, and particularly within the dental and orthodontic communities. Within days, rumors and wildly untrue statements were published on social media platforms and elsewhere that began to associate and confuse Vivos appliances with the AGGA. Vivos management immediately responded to correct any misstatements and to set the record straight. Vivos was not named in the lawsuit, nor was our device implicated in creating the tooth displacement and other concerns that gave rise to the lawsuit. To our knowledge, in approximately 40,000 patients treated, Vivos oral appliances have never caused the loss of even a single tooth, and we have never been sued over a patient complaint or safety issue. Vivos has never had any association or affiliation with the AGGA device or its promoters, nor has the Company ever endorsed these kind of counterfeit fixed oral appliances that make unproven and unsubstantiated claims. The AGGA is a non-FDA cleared oral appliance developed by Dr. Steve Galella, a dentist from Tennessee. He has actively promoted and taught other dentists about his device for many years through the Las Vegas Institute (LVI) and elsewhere. Dr. Galella has claimed that the AGGA can “grow, expand, and remodel an adult’s jaw”, and that roughly 10,000 OSA and TMD patients have been successfully treated using this device. 33 The FDA regulates and categorizes all medical devices claiming to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and/or TMD disorders as Class II devices and requires that they have a 510k clearance in order to be used with patients. The AGGA device does not have any such FDA clearance, nor are there any known peer-reviewed and published studies validating the safety and efficacy of this device. In stark contrast, all Vivos oral appliances are duly registered or cleared by the FDA according to strict FDA guidelines. Our appliances and attending protocols for proper use are also backed by extensive peer reviewed published research. Moreover, Vivos appliances operate on a completely different mechanism of action than that of the AGGA and similar devices on the market. Vivos has always maintained that such appliances tend to create inflammation and pose other risks that are unacceptable. The AGGA is a fixed appliance, whereas Vivos appliances are removable devices. Our core product is The Vivos Method, not any one single device. This is a very important point to understand. The Vivos Method involves far more than just our oral appliances. It begins with proper and thorough diagnosis and ends with a customized multidisciplinary treatment plan that likely incorporates one or more of several treatment modalities, including oral myofunctional therapy, SOT chiropractic, physical therapy, laser therapy, nutritional counseling, CPAP, mandibular advancement, CARE device therapy, and more. The Vivos Method is thus a fully integrated end-to-end diagnostic, training, and treatment platform that can adapt to the needs of virtually any and every breathing disordered sleep patient. Unfortunately, and despite the Company’s best efforts to distance ourselves and our products from the AGGA device, the entire matter generated a certain amount of confusion and fear amongst both existing VIP dentists and other non-affiliated dentist prospects. Thus, new provider enrollments and sales of Vivos appliances in the second quarter decreased as word spread. By the latter part of June the Company began to see a partial rebound in both new enrollments and appliance sales. Nevertheless, certain Vivos-trained providers remain very cautious and are being far more selective in their cases, which has continued to impact appliance sales through the end of the second quarter. Management believes this is a short-term phenomenon and should not be a long-term hindrance to new case starts or new VIP enrollments. Inflation . We believe the U.S. has entered a period of inflation which has increased (and may continue to increase) our and our suppliers’ costs as well as the end cost of our products to consumers. To date, we have been able to manage inflation risk without a material adverse impact on our business or results of operations. However, inflationary pressures (including increases in the price of raw material components of our appliances) made it necessary for us to adjust our standard pricing for our appliance products effective May 1, 2022. The full impact of such price adjustments on sales or demand for our products is not fully known at this time and may require us to adjust other aspects of our business as we seek to grow revenue and, ultimately, achieve profitability and positive cash flow from operations. An additional inflation-related risk is the Federal Reserve’s response, which up to this point has been to raise interest rates. Such actions have, in times past, created unintended consequences in terms of the impact on housing starts, overall manufacturing, capital markets, and banking. If such disruptions become systemic, as occurred in the recession of 2008, then the impact on our revenue, earnings and access to capital of both inflation and inflation-fighting responses would be impossible to know or calculate. Supply Chain. From time to time, we may experience supply chain challenges due to forces beyond our control. For example, the Suez Canal blockage earlier in 2021 caused some delay in shipments of SleepImage ® rings from China. Overall, however, as our appliances are made in the U.S., we have not experienced significant supply chain issues as a result of COVID-19 or otherwise, although this may change in future periods. Seasonality . We believe that the patient volumes of our VIPs will be sensitive to seasonal fluctuations in urgent care and primary care activity. Typically, the fourth quarter tends to be one where we see higher enrollment levels for new VIP dentists, however, as previously mentioned reported, in the fourth quarter of 2022 we did not see that same pattern emerge. The first and second quarters of each year tend to be our weakest quarter of the year for new enrollments, and to a certain extent, appliance sales as well. This was the case in the first half of 2023. Winter months see a higher occurrence of influenza, bronchitis, pneumonia and similar illnesses; however, the timing and severity of these outbreaks vary dramatically. Additionally, as consumers shift toward high deductible insurance plans, they are responsible for a greater percentage of their bill, particularly in the early months of the year before other healthcare spending has occurred, which may lead to lower than expected patient volume or an increase in bad debt expense during that period. Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate in the future depending on these and other factors. 34 Cybersecurity . We have established procedures to escalate enterprise level issues, including cybersecurity matters, to the appropriate management levels within our organization and our board of directors, or members or committees thereof, as appropriate. Under our framework, cybersecurity issues, including those involving vulnerabilities introduced by our use of third-party software, are analyzed by subject matter experts for potential financial, operational, and reputational risks, based on, among other factors, the nature of the matter and breadth of impact. Matters determined to present potential material impacts to our financial results, operations, and/or reputation are immediately reported by management to the board of directors, or individual members of committees thereof, as appropriate, in accordance with our escalation framework. In addition, we have established procedures to ensure that members of management responsible for overseeing the effectiveness of disclosure controls are informed in a timely manner of known cybersecurity risks and incidents that may materially impact our operations and that timely public disclosure is made, as appropriate. War in Ukraine. In addition, worldwide supply chain constraints and economic and capital markets uncertainty arising out of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 have emerged as new barriers to long-term economic recovery. If an economic recession or depression commences and is sustained, it could have a material adverse effect on our business as demand for our products could decrease. Capital markets uncertainty, with public stock price decreases and volatility, could make it more difficult for us to raise needed capital at the appropriate time. Key Components of Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations Net revenue. We recognize revenue when we satisfy our performance obligations over time as our customers receive the benefit of the promised goods and services, which generally occurs over a short period of time. Performance obligations with respect to appliance sales are typically satisfied by shipping or delivering products to our VIPs or, in the case of enrollment or service revenue, upon our satisfaction of performance obligations associated with VIP enrollments. Revenue consists of the gross sales price, net of estimated allowances, discounts, and personal rebates that are accounted for as a reduction from the gross sale price. Cost of sales. Cost of goods sold primarily consists of direct costs attributable to the purchase from third party suppliers and related products. It also includes freight costs, fulfillment, distribution, and warehousing costs related to products sold. Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing costs primarily consist of personnel costs for employees engaged in sales and marketing activities, commissions, advertising and marketing costs, website enhancements, and conferences for our sales and marketing staff. General and administrative expenses. General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses consist primarily of personnel costs for our administrative, human resources, finance and accounting employees, and executives. General and administrative expenses also include contract labor and consulting costs, travel - related expenses, legal, auditing and other professional fees, rent and facilities costs, repairs and maintenance, and general corporate expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense is comprised of depreciation expense related to property and equipment, amortization expense related to leasehold improvements, and amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets. Other income. Other income relates to the PPP loan forgiven in January 2022 by the SBA, and the ERTC received in April and May 2023 from the IRS. 35 Restatement of March 31, 2022 Financial Statements As described in Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statement,” in Item 1 of Part 1 of Amendment No. 1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022, originally filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022 and such Amendment No. 1 filed on November 25, 2022 (the “10-Q/A”), we determined it was necessary to restate our financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The restatement of the previously filed financial statements was due to our management (with the concurrent of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors) determining that our existing revenue recognition policy was not consistent with the guidance in ASC 606. After analyzing our contracts using the five-step process in ASC 606, we have determined that for VIP enrollment contracts, it is necessary for us to separately identify the performance obligations and recognize the revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied over the customer life as applicable. We identified a material weakness related to the operating effectiveness of our review controls in that we did not put the appropriate resources in place to be able to identify technical accounting issues and perform review functions appropriately for the revenue recognition issue described above and for those items which we had previously identified in Part II, Item 9A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Results of Operations Comparison of the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 Our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are presented below (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 Change 2022 2021 Change Revenue Product revenue $ 1,546 $ 2,293 $ (747 ) $ 3,318 $ 4,342 $ (1,024 ) Service revenue 1,849 1,891 (42 ) 3,935 3,486 449 Total revenue 3,395 4,184 (789 ) 7,253 7,828 (575 ) Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately below) 1,297 1,596 (299 ) 2,817 2,689 128 Gross profit 2,098 2,588 (490 ) 4,436 5,139 (703 ) Gross profit % 62 % 62 % 61 % 66 % Operating expenses General and administrative 5,877 7,691 (1,814 ) 12,414 15,497 (3,083 ) Sales and marketing 590 1,699 (1,109 ) 1,220 2,879 (1,659 ) Depreciation and amortization 148 162 (14 ) 323 324 (1 ) Operating loss (4,517 ) (6,964 ) 2,447 (9,521 ) (13,561 ) 4,040 Non-operating income (expense) Other expense (225 ) (37 ) (188 ) (174 ) (116 ) (58 ) PPP loan forgiveness - - - - 1,287 (1,287 ) Excess warrant fair value - - - (6,453 ) - Change in fair value of warrant liability, net of issuance costs of $645 (867 ) - (867 ) 8,761 - 8,761 Other income 81 9 72 156 68 88 Net loss $ (5,528 ) $ (6,992 ) $ 1,464 $ (7,231 ) $ (12,322 ) $ 5,091 Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 Revenue Revenue decreased approximately $0.8 million, or 19%, to approximately $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Revenue during the second quarter of the year was impacted by a decrease of approximately $0.7 million in product revenue, coupled by a decrease of approximately $0.1 million in service revenue. The decrease in total revenue is attributable to a decrease of approximately $0.6 million in appliance sales to VIPs, followed by a decrease of approximately $0.2 million in VIP revenue, and a decrease of approximately $0.2 million from our two company-owned dental centers. This was offset by an increase of approximately $0.1 million from sleep testing services and approximately $0.1 million from sponsorship, conference and training related revenue. Both Myofunctional therapy and BIS remained relatively unchanged for the three months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. 36 During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we enrolled 43 VIPs and recognized VIP revenue of approximately $0.9 million, a decrease of 21% in enrollment revenue, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, when we enrolled 58 VIPs for a total of approximately $1.2 million. Revenue growth was impacted by the new entry levels into the VIP program, ranging from $2,500 to $50,000, and adding an $8,000 pediatric program, which was received positively by our providers, but overall had the impact of decreasing our average enrollments from approximately $32,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately $25,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we sold 2,083 oral appliance arches for a total of approximately $1.5 million, a 27% decrease in revenue from the three months ended June 30, 2022 when we sold 3,321 oral appliance arches for a total of approximately $2.1 million, refer to “Material Items, Trends and Risks Impacting Our Business” section above for events that impacted our product sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized approximately $0.3 million in revenue from Myofunctional therapy services and approximately $0.2 million in BIS during both periods. Lastly, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 we recognized less than $0.1 million in revenue from our company-owned dental centers, compared to approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and over $0.3 million in sleep testing services revenue, compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Cost of Sales and Gross Profit Cost of sales decreased by approximately $0.3 million to approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to approximately $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to lower costs associated with appliances driven by the lower sales explained above, offset slightly by an increase in software cost. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, gross profit decreased by approximately $0.5 million to $2.1 million. This decrease was attributable to the decrease in revenue of approximately $0.8 million offset by the increase in cost of sales of $0.3 million. Gross margin remained the same at 62% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $1.8 million, or approximately 24%, to approximately $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The primary driver of this decrease was a change in personnel and related compensation of approximately $0.8 million, including salaries and benefits, paid time off, stock-based compensation, and other employee-related expenses. Other drivers of the decrease in general and administrative expenses included a decrease of approximately $0.4 million related to travel expenses, a decrease of approximately $0.3 million for bad debt expense, and a decrease of $0.4 million for infrastructure, insurance, supplies, equipment, and professional fees, offset by an increase of $0.1 million for training fees and utilities. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expense decreased by $1.1 million to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by a $0.5 million decrease in commissions, as well as a $0.4 million decrease related to a reduction in website development, marketing campaigns, materials and product samples as well as print media and marketing supplies, and a decrease of $0.2 million in conventions and tradeshow expenses. 37 Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Depreciation and amortization remained constant during the period due to an immaterial amount of depreciable assets placed into service. Excess warrant fair value and change in fair value of warrant liability, net of issuance costs The change in fair value of the warrant liability was approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, driven by an increase of 50% in the stock price or $0.17 per share during the period. Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 Revenue Revenue decreased approximately $0.6 million, or 7%, to approximately $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Revenue during the first six months of the year was impacted by a decrease of approximately $1.0 million in product revenue, offset by an increase of approximately $0.4 million in service revenue. The decrease in total revenue is attributable to a decrease of approximately $0.7 million in appliance sales to VIPs, followed by a decrease of approximately $0.2 million in BIS revenue, and a decrease of approximately $0.3 million from our two company-owned dental centers. This was offset by an increase of approximately $0.4 million from sleep testing services and an increase of approximately $0.2 million in sponsorship, conference and training related revenue, respectively. Myofunctional therapy remained relatively unchanged at $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we enrolled 81 VIPs and recognized VIP revenue of approximately $2.2 million, an increase of 8% in enrollment revenue, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, when we enrolled 90 VIPs for a total of approximately $2.1 million. Revenue growth in 2022 was impacted by prior period adjustment decreasing revenue by $0.4 million. New entry levels into the VIP program, ranging from $2,500 to $50,000 and adding an $8,000 pediatric program, which was received positively by our providers, but overall had the impact of decreasing our average enrollments from approximately $31,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately $25,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we sold 4,452 oral appliance arches for a total of approximately $3.2 million, an 18% decrease in revenue from the six months ended June 30, 2022 when we sold 6,286 oral appliance arches for a total of approximately $3.9 million, refer to “Material Items, Trends and Risks Impacting Our Business” section above for events that impacted our product sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized approximately $0.5 million in revenue from Myofunctional therapy services and approximately $0.4 and $0.7 million in BIS, respectively. Lastly, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 we recognized approximately $0.6 million in home sleep testing services revenue, compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $0.1 million in revenue from our company-owned dental centers, compared to approximately $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Cost of Sales and Gross Profit Cost of sales increased by approximately $0.1 million to approximately $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to approximately $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This was primarily related to an increase of approximately $0.3 million associated with VIP enrollments, an increase of approximately $0.2 million due to higher costs associated with the ring lease program, and an increase of approximately $0.1 million in software costs. The increases were offset by a decrease of approximately $0.4 million in lower costs associated with appliances driven by the lower sales explained above, and a decrease of approximately $0.1 million related to and VIP training and therapy services, respectively. 38 For the six months ended June 30, 2023, gross profit decreased by approximately $0.7 million to $4.4 million. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in revenue of approximately $0.6 million and an increase in cost of sales of $0.1 million. Gross margin decreased to 61% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 66% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $3.1 million, or approximately 20%, to approximately $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $15.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The primary driver of this decrease was a reduction in personnel and related compensation of approximately $1.6 million, including salaries and benefits, paid time off, stock-based compensation, and other employee-related expenses. Other drivers of the decrease in general and administrative expenses included a decrease of approximately $0.7 million related to travel expenses, a decrease of approximately $0.3 million insurance expense, and a decrease of $0.5 million for infrastructure, supplies, equipment, and professional fees. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing expense decreased by $1.7 million to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of approximately $0.7 million in website development, a $0.5 million decrease in commissions, a decrease of $0.3 million in conventions and tradeshow expenses, and a $0.2 million decrease related to a reduction in marketing campaigns, materials and product samples as well as print media and marketing supplies. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Depreciation and amortization remained constant during the period due to an immaterial amount of depreciable assets placed into service. PPP Loan Forgiveness PPP loan forgiveness was approximately $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The PPP loan was forgiven by the SBA in its entirety in 2022. Excess warrant fair value and change in fair value of warrant liability, net of issuance costs The liability for the warrants issued in the January 9, 2023 private placement totaled approximately $14.5 million which included 4,666,667 pre-funded warrants with a fair value of approximately $6.7 million and 6,666,667 additional warrants with a fair value of approximately $7.7 million. The difference between the fair value of the $14.5 million liability-classified warrants and the net proceeds received of approximately $8.0 million, or approximately $6.5 million, was recognized as a day-one non-operating expense. The change in fair value of the warrant liability was approximately $9.4 million, or $8.8 million of other income net of issuance costs of $0.6 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net impact of the private placement warrants on net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $2.3 million of other income. Liquidity and Capital Resources The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception, including $7.2 and $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, resulting in an accumulated deficit of approximately $86.7 million as of June 30, 2023. 39 Net cash used in operating activities amounted to approximately $6.4 and $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had total liabilities of approximately $11.6 million. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $3.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, which will not be sufficient to fund operations and strategic objectives over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Without additional financing, these factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company previously disclosed that its goal was to decrease costs and increase revenues during 2023 with the aim of becoming cash flow positive from operations by the first quarter of 2024 without the need for additional financing, if possible. The Company has successfully implemented cost savings measures and significantly reduced cash used in operations. However, sales have not grown during 2023 as anticipated due to external factors (including 2023 governmental investigations of and private lawsuits related to non-Vivos, non-FDA approved devices purporting to treat sleep apnea), and also as we product offerings and strategies are refined. As such, the Company now anticipates that it will likely be required to obtain additional financing to satisfy its cash needs, as management continues to work towards increasing revenue and achieving cash flow positive operations in the foreseeable future. Until a state of cash flow positivity is reached, management is reviewing all options to obtain additional financing to fund operations. This financing is expected to come primarily from the issuance of equity securities or indebtedness in order to sustain operations until the Company can achieve profitability and positive cash flows, if ever. There can be no assurances, however, that adequate additional funding will be available on favorable terms, or at all. If such funds are not available in the future, the Company may be required to delay, significantly modify or terminate some or all of its operations, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company and stockholders. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by applicable regulations of the SEC, that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on its financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. Cash Flows The following table presents a summary of our cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands): 2023 2022 Net cash provided by (used in): Operating activities $ (6,398 ) $ (10,745 ) Investing activities (534 ) (624 ) Financing activities 7,355 - Net cash used in operating activities of approximately $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is a decrease of approximately $4.3 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease is due primarily to the decrease in our net loss of approximately $5.1 million, a favorable net change in the fair value of warrant liability of approximately $8.8 million, offset by day-one non-operating warrant expense of approximately $6.5 million, a decrease of approximately $1.2 million for the PPP loan, an increase of approximately $1.2 million for the employee retention credit liability, a decrease of approximately $0.4 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and a decrease of approximately $0.5 million in stock-based compensation. This was offset by a decrease of approximately $0.1 million in accounts receivable related to the MID clinics and VIP enrollments under payment plans, a decrease of approximately $0.5 million in fair value of compensation based warrants issued. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in investing activities consisted of capital expenditures for software of $0.5 million related to the development of software for internal use, expected to be placed in service in late 2023, as well as a purchase of a patent portfolio in February 2023. This compares to net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of $0.6 million due to capital expenditures for internally developed software. Net cash provided by financing activities of $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, is attributable to proceeds of $8.0 million from the issuance of Common Stock, net of approximately $0.6 million of professional fees and other issuance costs, in our private placement in January 2023 and proceeds from the exercise of pre-funded warrants in connection with the same private placement. There was no cash used for financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022. 40 Critical Accounting Policies Involving Management Estimates and Assumptions Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. We have reviewed and determined that those critical accounting policies and estimates remain our critical accounting policies and estimates as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Recent Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed in Note 1 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective could have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption. For additional information on recently issued accounting standards and our plans for adoption of those standards, please refer to the section titled Recent Accounting Pronouncements under Note 1 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Trade Policy Risk. Certain of our products or components are manufactured outside the United States. Most products imported into the United States is subject to duty and restrictive quotas on the amount of products that can be imported from certain countries into the United States each year. Because of the duty rates and quotas, changes in U.S. trade policy as reflected in various legislation, trade preference programs and trade agreements have the potential to materially impact our sourcing strategy and the competitiveness of its contract manufacturers. We manage this risk by continually monitoring U.S. trade policy, analyzing the impact of changes in such policy and adjusting its manufacturing and sourcing strategy accordingly. Foreign Currency Risk. We receive United States dollars for all of our product sales. Currently, all inventory purchases from our non-U.S. contract manufacturers are also denominated in United States dollars; however, should we make purchases in foreign currencies in the future, purchase prices for our products may be impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the United States dollar, which may have the effect of increasing our cost of goods in the future. Commodity Price Risk. We are subject to commodity price risk arising from price fluctuations in the market prices of sourced titanium and steel products or the various raw materials components of its manufactured products. We are subject to commodity price risk to the extent that any fluctuations in the market prices of its purchased titanium and steel products and raw materials are not reflected by adjustments in selling prices of its products or if such adjustments significantly trail changes in these costs. We neither enter into significant long-term sales contracts nor enter into significant long-term purchase contracts. We do not engage in hedging activities with respect to such risk . Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the risk of loss resulting from non-performance or non-payment by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. Risks surrounding counterparty performance and credit could ultimately impact the amount and timing of expected cash flows. Certain financial instruments potentially subject our company to a concentration of credit risk. These financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts and vendor receivables. We place our cash and cash equivalents with high-credit, quality financial institutions. The balances in these accounts exceed the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. 41 Item 4. Controls and Procedures. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the appropriate time periods, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we, under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of our previously reported material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which we describe in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). Remediation of Material Weakness We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to help ensure that significant deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated as soon as possible. We believe we have made progress towards remediation and continue to implement our remediation plan for the previously reported material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, described in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes steps to increase dedicated personnel, improve reporting processes, design, and implement new controls, and enhance related supporting technology. We will consider the material weakness remediated after the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively. However, we cannot provide assurance that these or other measures will fully remediate our material weaknesses in a timely manner. If our remediation of these material weaknesses is not effective, it may cause our company to become subject to investigation or sanctions by the SEC. It may also adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock. There can be no assurance that all existing material weaknesses have been identified, or that additional material weaknesses will not be identified in the future. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting Due to the identification of the material weakness described above , we continue to seek to strengthen our internal control structure by adding accounting staff, adding additional levels of review, adding accounting technical support, and engaging a consulting team to assist with the creation and implementation of processes. Except as described herein, we made no other changes in internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the six months ended June 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. PART II – OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Below is a description of our outstanding pending litigation matters. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in the below described or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. 42 On June 5, 2020, we filed suit against Ortho-Tain, Inc. (“Ortho-Tain”) in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado seeking relief from certain false, threatening, and defamatory statements to our business affiliate, Benco Dental (“Benco”). We believe such statements have interfered with our business relationship and contract, causing harm to our reputation, loss of goodwill, and unspecified monetary damages. On February 12, 2021, we amended our complaint to add claims for false advertising and unfair business practices, as well as additional variants of the original claims to address Ortho-Tain’s alleged false advertising campaign against us in the fall of 2020. Our amended complaint seeks permanent injunctive relief to prevent what we believe are defamatory statements and interference with our business relationships by Ortho-Tain. We further seek declaratory relief to refute the defendant’s false allegations, as well as monetary damages. Prior to filing suit, we worked collaboratively with legal counsel at Benco to address and resolve this matter. Such efforts were unsuccessful. On February 26, 2021, Ortho-Tain, Inc. filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. We opposed the motion. On June 21, 2022, the Tenth Circuit entered an order and judgment. Pursuant to such order, the appeal was terminated and the case remanded to the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado for further proceedings. On July 13, 2022, the Clerk of Court for the Tenth Circuit transferred jurisdiction back to the District Court. On February 1, 2023, Ortho-Tain filed a motion to re-open the district court case and set a status conference. On February 22, 2023, Vivos filed a notice of non-opposition joining that request. On July 26, 2023, the District Court reopened the case. The parties are currently awaiting a new decision on Ortho-Tain’s motion to dismiss. On July 22, 2020 Ortho-Tain, Inc. filed a Complaint at Law in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois naming Vivos, along with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, R. Kirk Huntsman, Benco Dental Supply Co., Dr. Brian Kraft, Dr. Ben Miraglia, and Dr. Mark Musso. The Ortho-Tain complaint alleges violation of the Lanham Act and an alleged civil conspiracy among the defendants to violate the Lanham Act by an alleged false designation of origin related to a presentation given by Dr. Brian Kraft at an event sponsored by the Company and Benco Dental. Ortho-Tain also alleges that the actions of the defendants, including the Company, diverted sales from Ortho-Tain, deprived Ortho-Tain of advertising value and resulted in a loss of goodwill to Ortho-Tain. Ortho-Tain also alleges two separate breach of contract actions against Dr. Brian Kraft and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, R. Kirk Huntsman. On September 9, 2020, the Company moved to dismiss the claims against it. On May 14, 2021, the United States District Judge entered an order granting the Company’s motion to stay this case pending the outcome of a substantially similar, first-filed suit by the Company pending in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. In light of the stay, the Court denied, without prejudice, the Company’s pending motion to dismiss. On September 3, 2021, on December 2, 2021, on April 4, 2022, on July 5, 2022, on September 19, 2022, and on November 22, 2022 the Court extended the stay. On March 2, 2023, the Court lifted the stay. On April 13, 2023, the Court ordered the Parties to exchange Rule 26(a) disclosures by May 1, 2023 and issue initial written discovery by May 15, 2023. Further, the Court referred the matter to the Magistrate Judge to conduct a settlement conference. On April 28, 2023, the Court clarified that Dr. Musso’s court ordered participation in settlement and discovery did not waive his objections to personal jurisdiction and venue, and that Defendants did not need to file a response to the Complaint at this time. On June 2, 2023, the case was reassigned to the Hon. LaShonda A. Hunt. On July 11, 2023, the Magistrate Judge scheduled a settlement conference for September 1, 2023. On August 1, 2023, Judge Hunt set a deadline to refile motions to dismiss as August 15, 2023, stayed discovery pending resolution of the motions, and authorized the parties to cancel the settlement conference. On May 23, 2022, Dr. G. Dave Singh (“Dr. Singh”), the founder and former director and Chief Medical Officer of our company, through his legal counsel, sent a demand letter (the “Demand Letter”) to us. The Demand Letter asserted certain allegations, including an assertion that contested our decision to terminate Dr. Singh’s employment for cause in March 2022. As previously disclosed, on March 1, 2022, with the unanimous approval of our Board of Directors, we provided notice of termination of Dr. Singh’s employment with our company “for cause” pursuant to the terms Dr. Singh’s amended and restated employment agreement with us (the “Employment Agreement”). In the Demand Letter, Dr. Singh also asserted certain potential claims against us and/or R. Kirk Huntsman, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, including for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, defamation and other civil claims and remedies which could include severance payments to Dr. Singh and other money relief if Dr. Singh’s claims are upheld in arbitration. We believe that Dr. Singh’s assertions completely lack merit in fact or law and further believes that Dr. Singh will be unable to establish actionable damages. Further, we believe that several provisions of Dr. Singh’s Employment Agreement limit or restrict claims Dr. Singh is alleging, including a mandatory arbitration clause and exclusive remedy provisions. However, no assurances can be given that our positions regarding the Demand Letter or the Employment Agreement will be upheld by an arbitrator. The parties engaged in voluntary mediation, with no resolution reached. On November 3, 2022, the Company initiated arbitration with the American Arbitration Association against Dr. Gurdev Dave Singh. The Company’s Demand for Arbitration alleges that Dr. Singh’s behaviors and actions constituted a breach of the Employment Agreement as well as a breach of a fiduciary duty to which he owed the Company, and requests that the Arbitrator declare that Dr. Singh’s sole remedy or relief against the Company is what was agreed upon in the Employment Agreement. On December 7, 2022, Dr. Singh filed a Cross-Complaint in the Arbitration alleging claims against the Company for breach of contract, employment discrimination, and violation of the Colorado Wage Act. The Arbitrator has been selected and pursuant to a scheduling conference held on February 15, 2023. The case has been tentatively set for a four-day Arbitration commencing on January 16, 2024. 43 On January 23, 2023, we filed a complaint against Dr. Singh and Dr. Rod Willey in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado alleging that Dr. Singh violated his employment agreement with Vivos when he and Dr. Willey formed a competing venture, named Koala Plus. Additionally, we contend that both defendants violated state and federal trade secret laws when they formed this competing business and attempted to unlawfully use our trade secrets to divert business away from Vivos. We believe the defendants’ actions have caused us to suffer unspecified monetary damages. We reached a settlement with Dr. Willey, and he has been dismissed from the matter. The remaining parties conferred and subsequently agreed to move their pending claims from the federal case into the already existing arbitration referenced above. On July 21, 2023, the parties filed a stipulated dismissal without prejudice, which the Court granted the following day. As such, on August 2, 2023, the parties submitted a request to the arbitrator to extend the deadline to amend pleadings. The arbitrator granted this request, requiring the Company to submit an amended demand for arbitration on or before August 18, 2023, and Dr. Singh to file his answer and amended counterclaims on or before September 1, 2023. Item 1A. Risk Factors Not applicable to smaller reporting companies. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds On January 5, 2023, we closed a private placement (the “Private Placement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed sell up to an aggregate of $8.0 million of securities of the Company of units. Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value (or a pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock) (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) and one warrant exercisable for one share Common Stock (the “Common Stock Purchase Warrants” and together with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrants”). No actual units will be issued in the Private Placement. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to issue and sell in the Private Placement 2,000,000 Shares, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,666,667 shares of Common Stock and Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,666,667 shares of Common Stock (collectively with the shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants, the “Warrant Shares”). The purchase price per Share and associated Common Stock Purchase Warrant was $1.20, and the purchase price per Pre-Funded Warrant and associated Common Stock Purchase Warrant was $1.1999. Each Common Stock Purchase Warrant entitles the holder, for a period of five years and 6 months, to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.20 per share. Each Pre-Funded Warrant entitles the holder, for a period until all Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised, to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The Warrants also contain customary beneficial ownership limitations that may be waived at the option of each holder upon 61 days’ notice to us. Item 3. Default Upon Senior Securities None. Item 4.
