Note 1 – Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of the Business
Autonomix Medical, Inc (“we,” “our,” the “Company”) is a medical device company organized as a Delaware corporation on June 10, 2014. The Company is a development-stage medical device company focused on advancing technologies for sensing and treating disorders of the nervous system. The Company's platform is designed to integrate high-sensitivity neural signal detection with targeted radiofrequency (“RF”) ablation, enabling a “sense, treat, verify” approach intended to improve the precision and consistency of nerve-targeted therapies. The Company's technology consists of a catheter-based system incorporating a proprietary microchip-enabled sensing architecture designed to detect low-amplitude neural signals from within the vascular system. By placing signal amplification and digitization at or near the point of detection, this approach is intended to reduce signal degradation and improve detection of neural activity compared to conventional systems. The Company believes this may enable more precise localization of target nerves and support targeted therapeutic intervention.
The Company's development efforts are focused on two core components: diagnostic sensing and therapeutic RF ablation. In preclinical studies, the Company's sensing technology has demonstrated the ability to detect signals from specific nerve bundles prior to ablation and confirm signal termination following treatment. The Company is currently refining the design of its catheter to meet requirements for human use in the United States. In parallel with development of the Company's sensing system, the Company has conducted an early clinical proof-of-concept study evaluating the safety and feasibility of transvascular nerve ablation using commercially available RF ablation technologies.
The Company is initially developing its technology for the treatment of pain associated with pancreatic cancer, a disease where existing therapies, including opioid pharmacotherapy and neurolytic injections, may provide inconsistent relief and are associated with meaningful risks. The Company believes our platform may also have the potential to support additional applications, including other visceral pain conditions, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and other nerve-related disorders. These potential applications remain under evaluation and will require further development and clinical validation. On January 14, 2026, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that for the last 30 consecutive business days the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). The deficiency letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (the “Compliance Period Rule”), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until July 13, 2026 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. If, at any time before the Compliance Date, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under the Compliance Period Rule, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it complies with the Bid Price Rule, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10 day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H). If the Company is not in compliance with the Bid Price Rule by July 13, 2026, the Company may be afforded a second 180 calendar day period to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the minimum bid price requirement. In addition, the Company would be required to notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the minimum bid price deficiency, which may include, if necessary, implementing a reverse stock split. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by the Compliance Date and is not eligible for an additional compliance period at that time, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock may be delisted. The Company would then be entitled to appeal the Staff’s determination to a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel and request a hearing. There can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by the Staff to the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel, that such appeal would be successful. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, which could include effecting a reverse stock split. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company's financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company is an early-stage company that is subject to all the risks associated with early-stage and emerging growth companies and has incurred losses since inception.
For the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company had net losses of approximately $16.7 million and $11.4 million, respectively, and had net cash flows used in operating activities of $12.3 million and $8.3 million, respectively. The Company had no revenues for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $67.1 million and working capital of $5.9 million as of March 31, 2026. The Company does not expect to generate positive cash flows from operating activities in the near future. These conditions, and the Company's ability to comply with such conditions, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company estimates its current cash resources are sufficient to fund its operations into but not beyond the fourth calendar quarter of 2026. The Company recognizes it will need to raise additional capital to continue to execute its business plan, including obtaining regulatory clearance for its products currently under development and commercializing and generating revenues from products under development. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company. A failure to raise sufficient capital, generate sufficient product revenues, control expenditures and regulatory matters, among other factors, will adversely impact the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations as they become due and payable and to achieve its intended business objectives. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to scale back, or cease its operations.
Basis of Presentation
The annual financial statements and disclosures have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Presentation
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The Company's significant estimates and assumptions include the valuation of equity related instruments and clinical research organization expenses. Although the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available at the time the estimates and assumptions were made. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid accounts with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $0.25 million. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant.
Offering and Financing Costs
Offering costs consist of professional costs incurred through the balance sheet date that were direct and incremental to the Company’s equity financing activities, as defined in Note 3 - Equity. Specifically, offering costs for the year ended March 31, 2026 were incurred on the Company's ATM agreement, and subsequent increase, inducement letter and purchase agreement. Offering costs for the year ended March 31, 2025 were incurred on the offering and the registration statement. The costs for the registration statement are recorded in deferred offering costs on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2025. Costs associated with salaries and other period costs were expensed as incurred. See Note - Equity for additional detail on financing activities.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at historical cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally
three years. Upon disposition of the assets, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations.
Accrued Expenses
Accrued expenses consist of the following (in thousands):
Convertible Notes
The Company previously evaluated, in prior periods when the instruments were issued, embedded redemption, conversion and other features within its debt to determine whether any embedded features should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in the statements of operations. The Company’s debt was carried on the balance sheets on a historical cost basis, net of unamortized discounts and premiums, because the Company did not elect the fair value option of accounting. Costs associated with acquiring debt, including detachable warrants issued in connection with the financing, were capitalized as a debt discount. The debt discount was presented in the balance sheets, in prior year periods, as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. There is no debt outstanding in either period as the last convertible notes converted in March 2025.
The costs were amortized over the estimated contractual life of the related debt instrument using the effective interest method and were included in interest expense in the statements of operations.
In addition, since the instruments included a substantive conversion feature as of time of issuance, the issuance of equity securities to settle the outstanding notes with the conversion were accounted for as a contractual conversion with no gain or loss recognized related to the equity securities issued to settle the instrument. See Note 2 - Convertible Notes Payable for additional information.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements, defined as follows:
Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value and require significant judgment and estimation. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate, the Company recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values are the probability weighting of the different settlement outcomes used.
The Company accounted for the Purchase Agreement as a derivative asset measured at fair value on an on-going basis. At inception and as of March 31, 2026, the fair value of the derivative asset generated from the Purchase Agreement is $0.
The Company did have any additional assets or liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The carrying value of short-term instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of reported assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company must then assess the likelihood that the resulting deferred tax assets will be realized. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Any tax-related interest or penalties will be recognized in the statement of operations within general and administrative expense. As of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 the Company determined a full valuation allowance was required to offset its deferred tax assets as a result of recurring operating losses.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740-10 which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, on its tax return. The Company evaluates and records any uncertain tax positions based on the amount that management deems is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination and ultimate settlement with the tax authorities in the tax jurisdictions in which it operates. As of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 the Company had no uncertain tax positions.
Stock-based Compensation
Employee and non-employee share-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. For awards with a performance condition, compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period if it is probable that the performance condition will be satisfied. For awards to non-employees, the Company recognizes compensation expense in the same manner as if the Company had paid cash for the goods or services. The Company estimates the fair value of options and equity classified warrants granted using an options pricing model. Expense is recognized within general and administrative and research and development expenses and forfeitures are recognized as they are incurred.
Warrants The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The fair value of the warrants is estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model or a Monte Carlo simulation.
Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, which includes shares issuable for little to no consideration upon the exercise of certain equity-classified warrants. Diluted loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Generally, the Company's warrants issued to investors in connection with capital transactions are participating securities as the holders receive the right to participate pro rata in distributions, but they are not obligated to fund losses. In periods of loss, since no income is allocated to these securities, the Company's use of the "treasury stock method" derives the same result. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is calculated using the “if-converted method.” Under the if-converted method, securities are assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period, and the resulting common shares are included in the denominator of the diluted calculation for the entire period being presented.
For the twelve months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, dilutive securities that were not included in the calculations of the loss per common share because they would be anti-dilutive included the following:
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Advertising
It is our policy to expense advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses are included within general and administrative expenses within the statement of operations. For the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded $0 and less than $0.1 million, respectively.
JOBS Act Accounting Election
The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company ("EGC"), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies 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-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an early-stage company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Segments Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources in assessing performance. Management has determined that the Company operates in reportable segment, which is advancing the development of innovative technologies for sensing and treating disorders relating to the nervous system. The Company is initially focused on developing the technology for patients with pancreatic cancer, however, the Company believes the technology constitutes a platform with the potential to address several indications, including chronic pain management, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and a wide range of other nerve-related disorders. The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM assesses performance based on net loss, which is reported on the Statements of Operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets.
To date, the Company has not generated any product revenue. The Company expects to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as it advances its' technology through all stages of development and clinical trials and, ultimately, seeks regulatory approval.
As such, the CODM primarily evaluates performance of the Company using various financial metrics, including the combined net income (loss) from operations, also shown on the Statements of Operations, forecasted cash expenditures and existing and forecasted cash balances. These financial metrics are used by the CODM to make key operating decisions, such as the assessment of segment performance and allocation of resources. All of the assets are located in the United States. The significant expense categories within net loss from operations that the CODM regularly reviews are expenses related to research and development and general and administrative. The significant expense categories are reported on the Statements of Operations.
