NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 — Organization, Description of Business, Going Concern and Significant Risks and Uncertainties
Description of Business
Profusa, Inc. (the “Company”), originally incorporated in California on
The Company’s Lumee™ Oxygen Platform, monitors tissue oxygen levels and is intended for applications such as peripheral artery disease, chronic wounds (including diabetic ulcers and pressure sores), and reconstructive surgery. The Company’s research and development efforts are primarily focused on the Lumee™ Glucose Platform, a continuous glucose monitor (“CGM”) consisting of a biocompatible gel injected under the skin that monitors interstitial glucose levels for several months from a single injection, offering an alternative to traditional finger-stick glucometers and short-term needle-type CGMs.
On July 11, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), NorthView Acquisition Corporation (“Northview”) consummated its business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Profusa, Inc., a California corporation (“Legacy Profusa”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated November 7, 2022 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), among Northview, Legacy Profusa, and NV Profusa Merger Sub Inc., a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary of Northview (“Merger Sub”). At closing, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Profusa (the “Merger”), with Legacy Profusa surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northview. In connection with the closing, Northview changed its name to “Profusa, Inc.”
Change in Directors and Executive Officers
Effective July 21, 2026, Jack Stover was appointed Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Ben Hwang was appointed President. On July 26, 2026, Mr. Hwang resigned from the Board while continuing to serve as President, and Liviu Goldenberg was appointed as an independent director.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred significant net operating losses from operations. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $
On February 11, 2025, Northview executed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “PIPE Subscription Agreement”) with Ascent Partners Fund LLC (“Ascent” or together with any party who may become party to the PIPE Subscription Agreement, the “PIPE Investors”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company drew an aggregate of $
6
On July 28, 2025 (the “effective date”), the Company entered into the Equity Line of Credit (“ELOC”) Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ELOC Purchase Agreement”) and the ELOC Registration Rights Agreement (the “ELOC Registration Rights Agreement”) with Ascent (the “Committed Equity Facility”). Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in the ELOC Purchase Agreement, from and after the effective date, the Company will have the right, in its sole discretion, to sell to Ascent up to $
Additional financing is available through the ELOC Purchase Agreement and executing remaining tranches of the PIPE Subscription Agreement which would provide an aggregate of up to an additional $
Lumee Oxygen previously received regulatory approval in Europe through the attainment of a CE Mark, which subsequently lapsed in 2020. The Company is currently pursuing renewed CE Mark certification under the European Union Medical Device Regulation (“MDR”) to support commercialization in Europe in order to generate revenues. The Company continues to work with GMED to complete the remaining applicable MDR conformity assessment activities necessary to obtain renewed CE Mark certification. On October 15, 2026, the Company announced that it had received ISO 13485:2016 certification from GMED, a European Union notified body, for its quality management system covering the design, development and manufacture of the Lumee Oxygen Platform. The certification represents a milestone in the Company’s ongoing European Medical Device Regulation conformity assessment process. The Company continues to work toward completion of the remaining conformity assessment activities required to obtain CE marking for the Lumee Oxygen Platform. There can be no assurance regarding the timing or successful completion of the remaining regulatory requirements or the issuance of the CE Mark.
On September 11, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company that it was not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) Requirement, and on October 27, 2025, that it was not in compliance with the Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (“MVPHS”) Requirement. The Company did not regain compliance by the applicable deadlines (March 10, 2026 for bid price and MVLS; April 27, 2026 for MVPHS), and Nasdaq determined the Company’s securities were subject to delisting. The Company appealed and appeared before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) on April 21, 2026.
On May 6, 2026, the Panel granted the Company continued listing subject to conditions, including (i) transferring to The Nasdaq Capital Market, which became effective May 15, 2026, (ii) obtaining stockholder approval for a reverse stock split by June 23, 2026, and (iii) demonstrating compliance with the minimum bid price and stockholders’ equity requirements by July 20, 2026, which Nasdaq later extended to July 31, 2026.
The Company regained compliance with the MVPHS Requirement as of August 21, 2026. On September 9, 2026, Nasdaq confirmed compliance with the minimum bid price and stockholders’ equity requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2) and 5550(b)(1), respectively, and placed the Company under a one-year Mandatory Panel Monitor pursuant to Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B). During the monitoring period, a further failure to comply with the stockholders’ equity requirement would result in a prompt Staff Delisting Determination, without an opportunity to submit a compliance plan or receive a cure period, although the Company may appeal. There can be no assurance that the Company will maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards. Delisting could adversely affect the liquidity and market price of the Company’s securities and its ability to raise capital.
7
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has reviewed the relevant conditions and events surrounding its ability to continue as a going concern including among others: historical losses, projected future results, increased tariffs, cash requirements for the upcoming year, funding capacity, net working capital deficit, and future access to capital.
As of September 30, 2026, there continue to be factors which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Profusa and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that management believes are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial information. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2026.
Reverse Stock Splits
On September 18, 2026, the Company’s stockholders authorized the Board of Directors, in its discretion, to effect one or more additional reverse stock splits of the common stock through September 18, 2028, at an aggregate ratio not exceeding 1-for-12. This authorization did not itself effect a reverse stock split.
On August 17, 2026, the Company effected a
On July 7, 2026, the Company effected a
On February 9, 2026, the Company effected a
8
The August Reverse Stock Split, the July Reverse Stock Split, and the February Reverse Stock Split are collectively referred to herein as the “Reverse Stock Splits.” All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Splits for all periods presented. Cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares as a result of shares being rounded down for the respective reverse stock split activity.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company regularly assesses these estimates, including those related to accrued liabilities, valuation of the convertible notes and convertible loans payable at fair value, warrants, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, incremental borrowing rates, valuation of the G3 call option asset and Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, ELOC forward share issuance liabilities, ELOC purchased put option and valuation of stock-based awards. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Segment Information
ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates as a single operating segment. The Company’s CODM is the CEO, who has ultimate responsibility for the operating performance of the Company and the allocation of resources. The CODM uses consolidated net loss as the primary measure to manage the business and does not segment the business for internal reporting or decision making.
Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassification had no impact on loss from operations, net loss, net loss per share, total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity (deficit), or cash flows.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company reclassified amounts previously presented as interest expense related to the Company’s convertible debt held at fair value to loss on change in the fair value of convertible notes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company also reclassified related party note payables from convertible senior notes and loans payable at fair value and promissory notes into convertible and promissory notes payable to related parties on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These reclassifications were not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
9
Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company identified certain misstatements related to the accounting for the reverse recapitalization transaction with Northview during the third quarter of 2025, including the recognition of a $
Change in Accounting Estimate
During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company obtained additional information and completed a further evaluation of the applicability of certain Treasury regulations and related tax guidance to the excise tax liability assumed in connection with the Business Combination. Based on this additional information, management revised its estimate of the amount expected to be payable and concluded that the previously recorded excise tax liability was no longer required, except for approximately $
As a result, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company reduced its excise tax payable by $
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception by evaluating various factors, including if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration and other facts and circumstances. Lease classification is determined at the lease commencement date. Lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are recognized at commencement date and recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The implicit rates within the Company’s operating leases are generally not determinable and therefore the Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The determination of the incremental borrowing rate requires judgment. The Company determines the incremental borrowing rate for each lease using an estimated borrowing rate, adjusted for various factors including level of collateralization and term to align with the terms of the lease. The ROU asset also might include lease prepayments, offset by lease incentives. Certain leases include options to extend or terminate the lease. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option.
The Company has made accounting policy elections to (i) not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases (leases with lease terms of 12 months or less); and (ii) combine lease and non-lease components. Variable lease payments are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations when incurred and include certain non-lease components, such as maintenance and other services provided by the lessor to the extent the charges are variable. The cash flow impact from the change in operating lease right-of-use asset and the operating lease liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 is presented within the change in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
10
ELOC
The ELOC comprises a purchased put option and a forward share issuance that do not qualify for equity classification. Accordingly, the ELOC is measured at fair value, with changes between the put date and settlement date recognized in earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, certain Advance Notices provided that the purchase price would be funded upon delivery of shares to Ascent rather than upon Ascent’s subsequent resale of such shares, at a purchase price equal to
In connection with the execution of the term sheet relating to the ELOC Purchase Agreement on July 20, 2025, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts payable, warrant liabilities, promissory notes, convertible loans payable, convertible promissory notes and convertible senior notes. The Company states accounts payable, promissory notes and convertible senior notes at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected payment. See Note 3 for instruments valued under Level 3.
Ascent PIPE Notes
The PIPE Subscription Agreement provides for the issuance of Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Ascent PIPE Notes”). The Company elected the fair value option (“FVO”) under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, to recognize the issued Ascent PIPE Notes. Accordingly, no features of the Ascent PIPE Notes are bifurcated and separately accounted for.
On April 2, 2026, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the PIPE Subscription Agreement and related Pledge Agreement with Ascent (“Amendment No. 4”). Under Amendment No. 4, the Company may, subject to the terms and conditions of the amended agreements, request additional funding through the issuance of convertible promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of up to $
11
On August 12, 2026, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 to the PIPE Subscription Agreement and issued an additional tranche of $
In accordance with ASC 825, the Company has elected the FVO for each outstanding Ascent PIPE Note on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Each Ascent PIPE Note is accounted for as a separate unit of account and the FVO is irrevocable once elected for the respective instrument. At each reporting date, the Ascent PIPE Notes are measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings, except for the portion attributable to instrument-specific credit risk, which is presented in other comprehensive income. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company did not record any changes in fair value to other comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2026, the Ascent PIPE Notes are included in convertible senior notes and loans payable at fair value within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Common Stock Warrants
The Company evaluates freestanding warrants under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, to determine whether the warrants should be classified as liabilities or equity. The Company accounts for warrants for shares of the Company’s common stock that are not indexed to its own stock as liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet. Liability-classified common stock warrants are subject to remeasurement to fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date and as of any respective exercise date, with changes in fair value recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. For common stock warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the common stock warrants are recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital and are not remeasured to fair value in subsequent reporting periods.
The fair value of common stock warrants is determined using appropriate valuation techniques, including a Monte Carlo simulation model for the Private Placement and Representative’s Warrants and a Black-Scholes model for the Ascent Warrants (see Notes 3 and 9), incorporating assumptions including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, exercise price, contractual term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend yield.
Legal costs incurred in connection with the issuance of equity-classified warrants are capitalized as a reduction to additional paid-in capital if the warrants are issued in conjunction with an equity financing or equity-linked arrangement, and expensed immediately only if the costs are not directly attributable to the issuance. Legal and professional fees incurred in connection with the issuance of liability-classified warrants, including those failing equity classification under ASC 815-40, are expensed immediately to the condensed consolidated statements of operations as incurred.
When a warrant is issued in connection with a financing arrangement for which the Company has elected the fair value option, the issuance-date fair value of the warrant is recognized under financing costs, net when incurred, with an offsetting credit to warrant liability (for liability-classified warrants) or additional paid-in capital (for equity-classified warrants).
A modification or exchange of an equity-classified warrant that remains equity-classified after modification is measured based on the excess, if any, of the fair value of the modified warrant over its fair value immediately before the modification. Any incremental fair value is recognized in the same manner as the original warrant issuance. A modification or exchange of a liability-classified warrant that remains liability-classified is measured at the change in fair value at the modification date, with any increase in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. When a liability-classified warrant is modified such that it no longer meets the conditions that precluded equity classification, the warrant liability is remeasured to fair value immediately before the modification, with the change in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and the resulting fair value is reclassified to additional paid-in capital. If no incremental value is transferred to the counterparty as a result of the modification, no adjustment is made to financing costs, net.
12
The effect of a down-round feature that meets the applicable definition is excluded from the assessment of whether the warrant is indexed to the Company’s own stock. If a down-round feature is triggered, the value of the effect of the feature is recognized as a deemed dividend and as a reduction of income available to common stockholders in the computation of basic earnings per share.
Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company evaluates the terms of its preferred stock to determine the appropriate classification as liabilities, temporary equity, or permanent equity. The Company’s Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock is classified as permanent equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon issuance, the Company measures shares issued as noncash consideration or in settlement of outstanding liabilities at their estimated fair value, with the corresponding accounting determined based on the nature of the underlying transaction.
The Company estimates the fair value of its Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock using the probability-weighted expected return method (“PWERM”), which considers the as-converted value of the Company’s underlying common stock, the probability and timing of stockholder approval and conversion, the likelihood of obtaining required financing, and a discount for lack of marketability. Significant valuation assumptions include the expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected term, and probabilities of conversion and obtaining required financing. The Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock is not subsequently remeasured at fair value following issuance.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted to employees and non-employees is recognized based on the grant date estimated fair values using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Option valuation models, including the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, require the input of highly subjective assumptions, and changes in the assumptions used can materially affect the grant-date fair value of an award. These assumptions include the risk-free rate of interest, expected dividend yield, expected volatility, and the expected life of the award. Since the Company did not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise behavior, the expected term for options issued to employees was calculated as the mean of the option vesting period and contractual term (the “Simplified Method”). The expected term for options issued to non-employees is the contractual term.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”). ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. ASU 2024-03 does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. As revised by ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, the provisions of ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. With the exception of expanding disclosures to include more granular income statement expense categories, the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03 which revises the guidance in ASC 805 on identifying the accounting acquirer in a business combination in which the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity (VIE). ASU 2025-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in ASU 2025-03 must be applied prospectively to any business combination that occurs after the initial adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. ASU 2025-10 established authoritative guidance for the accounting for a government grant received by a business entity, including guidance for a grant related to an asset and a grant related to income. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. ASU 2025-11 clarifies the applicability of interim reporting guidance under GAAP, provides a comprehensive list of interim disclosure requirements within Topic 270, and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to provide information about events and changes occurring after the end of the most recent annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The ASU does not change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce existing interim disclosure requirements. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 for public business entities, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its interim financial reporting and related disclosures.

Note 3 — Fair Value Measurement
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
Level 2 — Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.
The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value using valuation techniques that require the use of observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions, including, as applicable, risk-free interest rates, expected terms, expected volatility, credit risk, market yields, conversion or exercise prices, the fair value of the Company’s common stock, and other instrument-specific terms and market inputs. The risk-free interest rate for each applicable financial instrument is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect as of the valuation date for a term commensurate with the expected term, contractual term, or estimated settlement period of the instrument, as applicable. Expected volatility, when applicable, may differ among financial instruments due to differences in expected terms, contractual maturities, settlement provisions, conversion or exercise features, valuation methodologies, market inputs, and the historical periods used to estimate volatility. The G3 call option asset and the Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock issued as consideration were measured by reference to their issuance date fair values, are not subject to recurring fair value remeasurement as of September 30, 2026 and therefore are not included in the recurring fair value hierarchy tables below (see Note 7 and Note 8 for further information).
As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, were as follows (in thousands):

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

The fair value of the Company’s convertible loans payable settled through conversion was determined by multiplying the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the applicable conversion date by the number of shares of common stock issued upon settlement.
Gain (loss) on change in the fair value of convertible notes on the condensed consolidated statements of operations comprise of the change in fair value of the related party convertible notes payable and convertible loans payable and its related accrued interest on the convertible notes. As of September 30, 2026, the convertible loans payable is due within 12 months of the balance sheet date and is therefore recorded as a current liability within convertible senior notes and loans payable at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Mayo Clinic License Agreement
On February 11, 2026, the Company entered into a know-how license agreement (the “License Agreement”), with Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (“Mayo”). Pursuant to the License Agreement, Mayo granted the Company an exclusive, worldwide license, with the right to sublicense, under certain patent rights that may arise during the term of the License Agreement, and a non-exclusive, worldwide license, with the right to sublicense, to certain know-how, in each case in the fields of continuous oxygen measurement and critical limb-threatening ischemia. Mayo retains certain customary reserved rights, including rights related to educational, research and clinical programs.
Under the License Agreement, beginning with the first commercial sale of a licensed product, the Company is required to pay Mayo earned royalties on net sales of licensed products. The applicable royalty rates vary based on the licensed field and the type of intellectual property coverage applicable to the licensed product. The Company is also obligated to make nonrefundable milestone payments to Mayo upon the first achievement of specified commercial, regulatory and clinical events for each licensed product and to pay Mayo a percentage of certain sublicense income received by the Company. As of September 30, 2026, no commercial sales, milestone events or sublicense income had occurred under the License Agreement, and no amounts were due to Mayo.
27
The License Agreement contains customary provisions regarding diligence, confidentiality, use of name, representations and warranties, disclaimers, indemnification, insurance, compliance with applicable laws and termination rights. Unless earlier terminated, the License Agreement expires upon the later of the expiration of the last-to-expire licensed foreground patent right or the fifteenth anniversary of the first commercial sale of the last launched licensed product. Upon expiration of the Company’s obligation to pay earned royalties, and subject to the Company’s compliance with its obligations, the Company will have a fully paid-up license.
Asset Purchase Agreement
On April 21, 2026, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended on May 22, 2026 (the “APA”), with Bio Insights LLC (“Bio Insights”) to acquire the know-how assets of its PanOmics Assay, an NGS multi-omics analysis platform, for $
Reduction in Force
During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company implemented cost reduction measures to preserve liquidity and reduce operating expenses, including a reduction in force that reduced the Company’s workforce from 11 employees to 5 employees. The reduction in force was substantially completed during the three months ended September 30, 2026. As of September 30, 2026, the Company does not expect remaining costs associated with the reduction in force to be material. In connection with these restructuring measures, the Company issued shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock to settle certain debts, including annual employee bonuses. See Note 8 for further details.
Note 7 - Proposed Acquisition of G3
Non-Binding Term Sheet
On July 2, 2026, the Company entered into a non-binding term sheet regarding a proposed acquisition of G3 Vision Labs, Inc. (“G3”), a private New Jersey corporation that operates CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited national medical laboratories. On July 31, 2026, the Company entered into the Option Agreement described below, which superseded the non-binding term sheet.
Option Agreement to Acquire G3
On July 31, 2026, the Company entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with stockholders of G3 (the “Sellers”). The Option Agreement gives the Company the right, but not the obligation, to acquire 100% of G3’s outstanding equity securities (the “G3 Call Option”).
As consideration for the G3 Call Option and as an advance of a portion of the total consideration for the G3 equity securities, the Company issued

The Company’s ability to exercise the G3 Call Option is subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions, including (i) the Company or G3 completing, or obtaining binding commitments for, financings with aggregate gross proceeds of at least $
If the Company exercises the G3 Call Option and closes the acquisition, it must file a registration statement within 75 days (the “filing deadline”) to register the resale of the common stock issued and the common stock underlying the Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock issued for the Initial Consideration, and cause the registration statement to become effective within
Under its Certificate of Designation, the Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock is not redeemable. However, if the acquisition closes and stockholder approval of the conversion has not been obtained 18 months after the closing date, and the Company fails to deliver the underlying common stock when due (subject to certain exceptions), each Seller may require the Company to redeem the Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock issued as Option Exercise Consideration for cash at the fair value of the common stock issuable on conversion. The right does not apply to the Initial Consideration. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had not exercised the G3 Call Option, and no shares subject to this redemption right were outstanding.
See Note 8 for additional information regarding the common stock and Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock issued.
The G3 Call Option did not meet the definition of a derivative as it did not meet the net settleable criteria. The Company recorded the G3 Call Option as an non-current asset at the fair value of the Initial Consideration at $

Changes in these assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair value of the Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock.
The significant features of the Company’s Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock as of September 30, 2026 are as follows:
Voting Rights – The holders generally have no voting rights, except that holders of a majority of the outstanding shares are entitled to approve certain actions that would adversely affect the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, including certain amendments to the Company’s governing documents, issuances of additional shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and certain change-of-control transactions prior to conversion.

Dividend Rights – Holders are entitled to receive dividends on an as-converted-to-common-stock basis in the same form and manner as dividends paid on the Company’s common stock, other than dividends payable in common stock.
Liquidation Rights – In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders are entitled to receive, prior to any distribution to holders of common stock, an amount equal to $
Conversion Rights – Following receipt of the required stockholder approval, the Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock automatically converts into common stock on the third business day following such approval, subject to applicable beneficial ownership limitations. Following such approval, holders may also elect to convert their shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock. Each share was initially convertible into
Beneficial Ownership Limitation – Conversions are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation established for each holder. The limitation may generally be set between
Redemption Rights – The Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock is not redeemable under its Certificate of Designation. However, under the Option Agreement (see Note 7), if stockholder approval of the conversion of the Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock has not been obtained within 18 months after the closing date of the G3 acquisition, and the Company fails to deliver the underlying common stock when due, each holder of Option Exercise Consideration may require the Company to redeem those shares for cash at the fair value of the common stock issuable on conversion. The right does not apply to the Initial Consideration or to failures caused by the holder, its broker, or the beneficial ownership limitation. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had not exercised the G3 Call Option, no Option Exercise Consideration had been issued, and shares subject to this redemption right were outstanding.

Note 12 — Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Because the Company incurred a net loss in all periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per share are the same.
The Company’s Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock is considered a participating security because holders are entitled to receive dividends on an as-converted basis when dividends are paid on common stock. Accordingly, the Company applies the two-class method in computing basic net loss per share. As the holders of the Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock are not contractually required to participate in the Company’s losses, undistributed losses were allocated to these participating securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.
35

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this report. Operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may occur in future periods. This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.
Business Overview
We are a clinical-stage digital health and medical technology company focused on developing biosensing solutions to improve health outcomes for patients in a variety of different diseases and conditions. Our first product is Lumee Oxygen, which enables physicians to ascertain the extent of perfusion, or passage of blood through the circulatory system to an organ or tissue, in patients with Critical Limb Ischemia (“CLI”) both during and after endovascular revascularization procedures. Lumee Oxygen received regulatory approval in Europe through the attainment of a CE mark which subsequently lapsed in 2020. We are currently working to obtain a renewed CE Mark. In addition, prior to commercialization in the U.S., Lumee Oxygen must obtain FDA clearance or approval.
The latest version of Lumee Oxygen is called Wireless Lumee Oxygen System. It has multiple components, one of which is a microsensor that is injected into the tissue of the patient using a hypodermic needle. The sensor is designed so it does not need to be removed as it overcomes the foreign body response that usually inhibits the ability of permanent implants to function. The sensor contains no electronics, utilizing luminescence to send a light signal to a reader that is placed over the incision site, which in turn can send a signal to an app on a smartphone. This system targets diabetics and pre-diabetics to allow them real-time access to their glucose data, at a price point that our management thinks is comparable or lower to existing systems.
Lumee Oxygen previously received regulatory approval in Europe through the attainment of a CE Mark, which subsequently lapsed in 2020. We are currently pursuing renewed CE Mark certification under the European Union Medical Device Regulation (“MDR”). We continue to work with GMED to complete the remaining applicable MDR conformity assessment activities necessary to obtain renewed CE Mark certification. There can be no assurance regarding the timing or successful completion of the remaining regulatory requirements or the issuance of the CE Mark. We have access to key opinion leaders (“KOLs”) in both Europe and the United States, who deal with peripheral arterial disease (“PAD”) and CLI.
On October 15, 2026, we announced that we received ISO 13485:2016 certification from GMED, a European Union notified body, for its quality management system covering the design, development and manufacture of the Lumee Oxygen Platform. The certification represents a milestone in our ongoing European Medical Device Regulation conformity assessment process. We continue to work towards completion of the remaining conformity assessment activities required to obtain CE marking for the Lumee Oxygen Platform.
39
We will sell directly to facilities based on the endorsement of these KOLs. In Germany, Austria and France, some KOLs have already used Lumee Oxygen on a trial basis. We have worked with reimbursement consultants to develop potential Category I Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT”) codes for Lumee Oxygen use. Additionally, we have entered into commercial and clinical collaboration agreements with practitioners and hospital departments in Austria, Belgium and France.
Regarding Lumee Glucose, if and when we obtain marketing authorization, we may embark on a dual strategy of both direct to hospital sales, for our professional-use and personal-use CGM product, and direct to pharmacy sales for our personal use product only, thereby maximizing flexibility for the consumer. By aiming for coverage under a user’s pharmacy benefit, we believe we can diversify our user base, while accounting for any risk related to unlikely delay of attainment of a category I CPT code for sensor insertion. We feel a difference between other insertable or implantable CGMs and Lumee Glucose, is that the latter can be simply inserted with a hypodermic needle and does not require a surgical implantation, similar to how pharmacists use these needles to administer flu shots and other vaccines. At the same time, physicians can still leverage existing CPT codes related to interpretation of CGM data and we have, in parallel, initiated steps for CPT codes related to our sensor insertion. We will target both public and private payors for coverage.
Since our launch, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to research and development, as well as all clinical study activities related but not limited to Lumee Oxygen, Lumee Glucose and prototypes for sensors of at least eight other analytes. We have also invested, on a smaller scale, in making sales of Lumee Oxygen for research- use only clients, which include entities working with animal models. Furthermore, we also performed research and development under government grants.
On July 7, 2026, we filed a continuation patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office related to our tissue-integrating sensor technology. The application, which claims priority to our earlier patent application filed during October 2010, remained pending as of September 30, 2026.
Significant Risks and Uncertainties
The Company operates in a dynamic and highly competitive industry and believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows: ability to obtain future financing; advances and trends in new technologies and industry standards; results of clinical trials; regulatory approval and market acceptance of the Company’s products; development of sales channels; certain strategic relationships; litigation or claims against the Company based on intellectual property, patent, product, regulatory, or other factors; and the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its growth.
Products developed by the Company require approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other international regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that the products will receive the necessary approvals. If the Company is denied approval, approval is delayed or the Company is unable to maintain approval, it could have a materially adverse impact on the Company.
The Company has expended and will continue to expend substantial funds to complete the research, development and clinical testing of product candidates. The Company also will be required to expend additional funds to establish commercial-scale manufacturing arrangements and to provide for the marketing and distribution of products that receive regulatory approval. As of September 30, 2026, the Company may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing to commercialize its products. If adequate funds are unavailable on a timely basis from operations or additional sources of financing, the Company may have to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of its research or development programs which would materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Recent Developments
Inflation, Monetary Response, and Economic Impacts
The world economy is experiencing stubbornly high inflation, a challenge not faced for decades. Following the global financial crisis, with inflationary pressures muted, interest rates were extremely low for years and investors became accustomed to low volatility. The resulting easing of financial conditions supported economic growth, but it also contributed to a buildup of financial vulnerabilities. With inflation at multi-decade highs, monetary authorities in advanced economies are accelerating the pace of policy normalization. Policymakers have continued to tighten policy against a backdrop of rising inflation and currency pressures, albeit with notable differences across regions. Global financial conditions have tightened notably this year, leading to capital outflows. Amid heightened economic and geopolitical uncertainties, investors have aggressively pulled back from risk-taking and adjusted their investment preferences generally. Key gauges of systemic risk, such as higher dollar funding costs and counterparty credit spreads, have risen. There is a risk of a disorderly tightening of financial conditions that may be amplified by vulnerabilities built over the years.
In addition, our business, growth, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by instability or changes in a country’s or region’s economic conditions; inflation; changes in laws or regulations or in the interpretation of existing laws or regulations, whether caused by a change in government or otherwise; increased difficulty of conducting business in a country or region due to actual or potential political or military conflict; or action by the U.S. or foreign governments that may restrict our ability to transact business in a foreign country or with certain foreign individuals or entities. A possible slowdown in global trade caused by increasing tariffs or other restrictions could decrease consumer or corporate confidence and reduce consumer, government and corporate spending in countries inside or outside the U.S., which could adversely affect our operations. Climate-related events, including extreme weather events and natural disasters and their effect on critical infrastructure in the U.S. or internationally, could have similar adverse effects on our operations, users, or third-party suppliers.
Nasdaq Continued Listing
On September 11, 2025, Nasdaq notified us that we were not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) Requirement, and on October 27, 2025, that we were not in compliance with the Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (“MVPHS”) Requirement. We did not regain compliance by the applicable deadlines (March 10, 2026 for bid price and MVLS; April 27, 2026 for MVPHS), and Nasdaq determined our securities were subject to delisting. We appealed and appeared before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) on April 21, 2026.
On May 6, 2026, the Panel granted us a continued listing subject to conditions, including (i) transferring to The Nasdaq Capital Market, which became effective May 15, 2026, (ii) obtaining stockholder approval for a reverse stock split by June 23, 2026, and (iii) demonstrating compliance with the minimum bid price and stockholders’ equity requirements by July 20, 2026, which Nasdaq later extended to July 31, 2026.
We regained compliance with the MVPHS Requirement as of August 21, 2026. On September 9, 2026, Nasdaq confirmed our compliance with the minimum bid price and stockholders’ equity requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2) and 5550(b)(1), respectively, and placed us under a one-year Mandatory Panel Monitor pursuant to Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B). During the monitoring period, a further failure to comply with the stockholders’ equity requirement would result in a prompt Staff Delisting Determination, without an opportunity to submit a compliance plan or receive a cure period, although we may appeal. There can be no assurance that we will maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards. Delisting could adversely affect the liquidity and market price of our securities and our ability to raise capital.

Reverse Stock Splits
On September 18, 2026, our stockholders authorized the Board of Directors, in its discretion, to effect one or more additional reverse stock splits of the common stock through September 18, 2028, at an aggregate ratio not exceeding 1-for-12. This authorization did not itself effect a reverse stock split.
On August 17, 2026, we effected a 1-for-4 reverse stock split of our common stock (the “August Reverse Stock Split”). The August Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of common stock, which remained $0.0001 per share, or the authorized number of shares of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the August Reverse Stock Split.
On July 7, 2026, we effected a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of our common stock (the “July Reverse Stock Split”). The July Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of common stock, which remained $0.0001 per share, or the authorized number of shares of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the July Reverse Stock Split.
On February 9, 2026, we effected a 1-for-75 reverse stock split of our common stock (the “February Reverse Stock Split”). The February Reverse Stock Split did not change the par value of common stock, which remained $0.0001 per share, or the authorized number of shares of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the February Reverse Stock Split.
The August Reverse Stock Split, July Reverse Stock Split, and the February Reverse Stock Split are collectively referred to herein as the “Reverse Stock Splits.” All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Splits for all periods presented.
Mayo Clinic License Agreement
On February 11, 2026, we entered into a know-how License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (“Mayo”), pursuant to which Mayo granted us an exclusive license to certain patent rights, which the parties plan to file for and obtain during the term of the License Agreement, and a non-exclusive license to specified know-how in the fields of continuous oxygen measurement and critical limb-threatening ischemia, with the right to sublicense such rights. Mayo retains customary reserved rights for educational, research and clinical programs of Mayo.
As consideration, beginning with the first commercial sale of a licensed product, we are required to pay royalties on net sales of licensed products in amounts that vary depending on the applicable field and intellectual property coverage. We are also obligated to make milestone payments upon the achievement of specified commercial, regulatory and clinical events.
In connection with the License Agreement, we will collaborate with Mayo to investigate high impact clinical applications of our technologies for new product development and commercialization.
The License Agreement contains customary provisions regarding confidentiality, representations, warranties, disclaimers and indemnifications, and termination rights. The term of the License Agreement extends for a period tied to the life of the licensed patent rights and a post-commercialization period, unless earlier terminated.
Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Loan Forgiveness
We applied for loan forgiveness for the remaining PPP loan in December 2025. On February 11, 2026, we received approval for forgiveness from the Small Business Administration for the full $1.4 million principal loan balance. We recognized a gain on the extinguishment of the PPP Loan of $1.4 million within Gain on extinguishment of debt on the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
42
Sale of Digital Assets
On March 11, 2026, we made the determination to terminate our Bitcoin treasury reserve strategy in light of current market conditions and our capital allocation priorities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we sold 16.51 Bitcoins for an aggregate amount of $1.2 million, resulting in realized losses of $0.3 million.
Amendments on Related-party Convertible Promissory Note
In connection with the Business Combination, we assumed a convertible working capital promissory note issued by Northview to NVAC, the sponsor of Northview (the “Sponsor”). The related party convertible promissory note is non-interest bearing and became convertible on the Closing Date. As originally issued, the Sponsor could convert all or a portion of the unpaid principal into warrants at $7,500.00 per warrant. On March 20, 2026, the maturity date was extended from January 11, 2026 to December 31, 2026.
On April 24, 2026, we and NVAC entered into a Note Modification and Conversion Agreement that established the outstanding principal balance at $1.9 million, retained the December 31, 2026 maturity date, and provided NVAC the option to convert the outstanding principal into shares of the Company’s common stock. On April 29, 2026, the parties entered into Amendment No. 1, which restricted issuance of conversion shares above 19.99% of our issued and outstanding common stock absent stockholder approval. An earlier April 6, 2026 amendment updated the conversion price and concurrently approved the potential conversion of the entire outstanding principal balance of $1.9 million was rescinded on April 7, 2026, and no shares were issued for that amendment. Our stockholders approved issuances of our common stock for the conversion of the note above the 19.99% limit on June 23, 2026, which terminated the restriction.
On July 31, 2026, we and NVAC entered into Amendment No. 2, which (i) increased the beneficial ownership limitation to 49.9% of our outstanding common stock following conversion, (ii) set the conversion price at $4.24 per share, the closing price on July 31, 2026, as adjusted for the August Reverse Stock Split, and (iii) provided that shares issuable on conversion equal 122% of the principal converted divided by the conversion price. On August 12, 2026, we and NVAC entered into Amendment No. 3, which set the conversion price at the higher of (i) $4.28 per share, as adjusted for the August Reverse Stock Split, and (ii) the closing price on the trading day before the conversion notice.
We evaluated Amendments No. 2 and No. 3 under ASC 470-50 and determined that each represented an extinguishment, because the change in fair value of the embedded conversion feature exceeded 10% of the carrying amount of the note immediately before the amendment. Accordingly, we recognized an aggregate of $1.5 million in losses on extinguishment for the note during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, which is presented under loss on extinguishment of debt on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
On August 12, 2026, NVAC converted $1.1 million of principal into 301,991 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $4.28 per share. The conversion was accounted for as a contractual conversion under ASC 470-20, with the carrying amount of the converted portion of the note reclassified to stockholders’ equity and no additional gain or loss recognized upon conversion. $0.8 million of principal remained outstanding after the conversion.
43
Amendment No. 4 on the PIPE Subscription Agreement
On April 2, 2026, we entered into Amendment No. 4 to the PIPE Subscription Agreement and related Pledge Agreement with Ascent (“Amendment No. 4”). Under Amendment No. 4, we may, subject to the terms and conditions of the amended agreements, request additional funding through the issuance of convertible promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of up to $12.2 million, which the investor may elect to purchase at its discretion. This financing capacity is separate from the $12.2 million of aggregate principal issued during 2025 and results in aggregate principal issuance capacity of approximately $24.4 million under the amended financing arrangement.
Amendment No. 4 also modified certain terms of the related Pledge Agreement, including revising the release condition to provide that the applicable release condition will be satisfied upon payment in full, whether in cash or through conversion, of an aggregate principal amount of $1.7 million of notes issued in the additional closings expected to occur on or shortly after April 2, 2026. In addition, we have agreed with Ascent that any mandatory prepayment amounts received under the notes will first be applied to obligations related to such additional notes and thereafter to certain previously issued secured convertible promissory notes.
In connection with the additional closing on April 2, 2026, we issued an Ascent PIPE Note with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $0.6 million. The note matures on April 2, 2027, bears interest at 12% per annum and is convertible into shares of our common stock, subject to the terms of the note. As consideration for Ascent’s participation in the April 2, 2026 additional closing, Ascent earned a warrant (“Ascent Warrant”) to purchase 11,111 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $50.00 per share, as adjusted for the July and August Reverse Stock Splits. The Ascent Warrant was exercisable on a cash or cashless basis for a period of five years and was subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation and customary anti-dilution adjustments.
In connection with the additional closing on April 20, 2026, we issued an Ascent PIPE Note with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.1 million. The note matures on April 20, 2027, bears interest at 12% per annum and is convertible into shares of our common stock, subject to the terms of the note. In connection with the April 20, 2026 closing, we entered into a side letter agreement with Ascent pursuant to which Ascent waived certain defaults under the Purchase Agreement and we issued a replacement Ascent Warrant that replaced the warrant earned on April 2, 2026. The replacement warrant increased the number of shares issuable upon exercise from 11,111 shares to 33,333 shares, as adjusted for the July and August Reverse Stock Splits, at an exercise price of $50.00 per share and is exercisable on a cash or cashless basis through April 20, 2031. We also agreed to provide Ascent with demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the underlying shares.
In connection with the issuance of the replacement warrant, Ascent entered into a lock-up agreement, dated April 20, 2026, pursuant to which Ascent agreed not to transfer the shares underlying the replacement warrant for 120 days, expiring August 22, 2026, subject to customary exceptions. Any permitted transferee is required to execute a lock-up agreement on substantially similar terms.
On April 29, 2026, the Company and Ascent entered into an amendment to an existing Warrant to Purchase Shares of common stock, which eliminated the provisions relating to the automatic conversion or assumption of the warrant in connection with Fundamental Transactions.
Amendment No. 5 on the PIPE Subscription Agreement
On August 12, 2026, we executed the 5th amendment to the PIPE Subscription Agreement for (i) an additional tranche of $0.7 million, which bears interest at 7% per annum and matures on August 12, 2027, and (ii) amended the exercise price of the Ascent Warrants to $4.28 per share, after giving effect to the August Reverse Stock Split.
44
Warrant Amendment
On August 12, 2026, our Board of Directors approved an adjustment to the warrant exercise price related to the August Reverse Stock Split. Prior to the August Reverse Stock Split, we had 17,404,250 outstanding Warrants (excluding the Ascent Warrants) to purchase 9,282 shares of our Common Stock, with each whole Warrant being exercisable under the Warrant Agreement to purchase one Warrant Share, with an exercise price of $21,562.50 per Warrant Share. After giving effect to the August Reverse Stock Split, these 17,404,250 Warrants will be exercisable for a total of 2,320 shares of Common Stock, with each whole Warrant exercisable to purchase 1/7,500th of a Warrant Share, and the exercise price shall be adjusted to $86,250.00 per whole Warrant Share. After giving effect to the August Reverse Stock Split, one Warrant Share will be issuable upon the exercise of 7,500 Warrants for an aggregate exercise price of $86,250.00. The impact of the August Reverse Stock Split on exercise price for the Ascent Warrants is discussed in the “Amendment No. 5 on the PIPE Subscription Agreement” section above.
Share Exchange Agreement
On August 19, 2026, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Ascent pursuant to which the outstanding Ascent PIPE Notes issued through August 12, 2026, representing aggregate payable amounts of approximately $6.1 million as of the agreement date, are to be exchanged for Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock at a rate of approximately 0.93458 preferred shares for each $1,000 of outstanding obligations. The exchange is conditioned upon delivery of a Call Notice under the G3 Option Agreement. We determined that the modification of the Ascent PIPE Notes resulted in substantially different contractual terms and recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $6.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. If completed, the exchange would reduce the associated cash repayment obligations but could result in substantial dilution upon conversion of the preferred shares. See Notes 5 and 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
ELOC
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, approximately $2.9 million representing 93,020 shares of our common stock, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Splits, were sold pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
Proposed Bio Insights Acquisition
On April 21, 2026, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended on May 22, 2026 (the “APA”), with Bio Insights LLC (“Bio Insights”) to acquire the know-how assets of its PanOmics Assay, an integrated NGS multi-omics analysis platform, for $30.0 million payable in Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, plus a royalty of 3% of net revenue from the assay. The assets exclude patents and biological samples. Stockholder approval for the transaction was obtained on June 23, 2026. As of September 30, 2026, the transaction has not closed.
G3 Term Sheet
On July 2, 2026, we entered into a non-binding term sheet regarding a proposed acquisition of G3 Vision Labs Inc. (“G3”), a private New Jersey corporation that operates CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited national medical laboratories. On July 31, 2026, we entered into the Option Agreement described below, which superseded the non-binding term sheet.
Option Agreement to Acquire G3
On July 31, 2026, we entered into an option agreement with certain stockholders of G3, pursuant to which we obtained the right, but not the obligation, to acquire 100% of the outstanding equity securities of G3. G3 owns all or substantially all of the equity securities of Med Screen Laboratories Inc., Dominion Diagnostics LLC and Acutis Diagnostics Inc. Our ability to exercise the option is subject to various conditions, including our or G3’s completion of, or receipt of binding commitments for, one or more financings resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of at least $30.0 million; the refinancing, repayment or other satisfaction of certain G3 indebtedness or receipt of applicable lender consents; receipt of required stockholder and Nasdaq approvals; continued listing of our common stock on Nasdaq; release of the sellers from certain obligations relating to indebtedness of the target companies; and execution of definitive acquisition documents. The option expires 90 days after the target companies provide us with specified audited and reviewed financial information.
As consideration for the grant of the option, we issued an aggregate of 50,280 shares of our common stock and 52,903.566 shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock. The Call Option consideration are not subject to a lock-up period but are subject to registration on a future Form S-1 which will be filed at the earliest commercially reasonable date. The issuance of these securities did not generate cash proceeds and has not been included as an available source of liquidity in our assessment of our ability to meet our obligations. If we exercise the option, the sellers will be entitled to receive an additional 53,918.113 shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock. The contemplated $30.0 million financing has not been completed, remains subject to binding commitments and other conditions, and has not been included as an available source of liquidity. There can be no assurance that the conditions to exercise the option will be satisfied, that the required financing will be obtained, or that the contemplated acquisition will be completed.
45
We incurred $2.8 million in transaction costs for the Option Agreement, of which $1.1 million were payable in cash and approximately $1.7 million were settled through the issuance of 3,177.567 shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock. The transaction fees consist of financial advisor success fees of $2.2 million, employee-bonuses of $0.1 million, and $0.5 million of legal and other professional fees. These costs were expensed and are included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Debt Exchange
In connection with the Option Agreement and our efforts to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, we are undertaking a reorganization of certain of our outstanding indebtedness and other obligations (the “Debt Exchange”). On August 12, 2026, we entered into Exchange Agreements with holders of certain promissory notes and convertible notes, representing approximately $6.9 million of aggregate principal and accrued interest, pursuant to which such notes are to be exchanged for up to approximately 6,403.095 shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock at a rate of approximately 0.934579 shares per $1,000 (an effective price of $4.28 per share of common stock after giving effect to the August Reverse Stock Split). On August 19, 2026, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Ascent pursuant to which approximately $6.1 million of Ascent PIPE Notes will be exchanged for Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock upon delivery of a Call Notice under the Option Agreement. In addition, between August 11 and August 20, 2026, we entered into Subscription Agreements with certain former underwriters and advisors pursuant to which amounts owed to them were satisfied through the issuance of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock at $1,070 per share. If completed, the exchanges would eliminate the related cash repayment obligations reflected in our contractual obligations table, but would result in substantial dilution upon conversion of the Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock. The exchanges remain subject to closing conditions, and there can be no assurance they will be completed. Refer to Note 5 and Note 8 for further information over the debt exchange.
Subsequent Financing Developments
On October 4, 2026, we amended the Ascent PIPE Notes issued on April 2, 2026 and April 20, 2026 to change the conversion price to the greater of $1.20 and 95% of the lowest daily VWAP during the five trading days preceding conversion, to reduce the floor price to $0.338 per share and to increase the share reserve requirement to 150% of the maximum number of shares potentially issuable. On October 15, 2026, we issued an additional Ascent PIPE Note with an original principal amount of approximately $0.8 million for cash proceeds of $0.7 million.
On November 5, 2026, we entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Note Modification and Conversion Agreement with NVAC, which reduced the minimum conversion price of the Sponsor note from $1.07 to $0.20 per share; the number of shares issuable continues to be determined by dividing 122% of the principal amount converted by the conversion price. These amendments lower the price at which our convertible indebtedness may be converted and could result in the issuance of a substantially greater number of shares of common stock and significant dilution to our existing stockholders.
On November 12, 2026, NVAC converted $0.1 million of outstanding principal under the related party convertible promissory note into 214,083 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.549 per share, based on the November 11, 2026 volume-weighted average price of our common stock.
On November 13, 2026, NVAC converted the remaining outstanding principal under the related party convertible promissory note into 2,149,195 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.46 per share, based on the November 12, 2026 closing share price, pursuant to the Note Modification and Conversion Agreement, as amended. Consistent with the terms of the agreement, the number of shares issued upon conversion was determined by dividing 122% of the principal amount converted by the applicable conversion price.
Changes in Directors and Executive Officers
Effective July 21, 2026, Jack Stover was appointed Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Ben Hwang was appointed President. On July 26, 2026, Mr. Hwang resigned from the Board while continuing to serve as President, and Liviu Goldenberg was appointed as an independent director.
Reduction in Force
During July 2026, we implemented cost reduction measures designed to preserve our liquidity and reduce operating expenses. These measures included a reduction in force that reduced our workforce from 11 employees to 5 employees.
Principles of Accounting and Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and pursuant to applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Profusa Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Profusa Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd (“APAC”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Research and Development – Research and development expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 69%, to $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026 from $0.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was driven primarily by the decrease in regulatory and contract research organization (“CRO”) costs of $0.3 million which is in line with our focus on research and development to complete device functionality during the three months ended September 30, 2025 to reach the point of commercialization, and a decrease in personnel costs of $0.2 million due to our reduction in force.
General and Administrative – General and administrative expenses decreased by $16.4 million, or 78%, to $4.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026 from $21.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was driven by a decrease in legal, accounting and other third party professional services of $13.2 million and personnel costs of $3.2 million as a result of our Business Combination that closed in 2025.
48
Gain (Loss) on Change in the Fair Value of Convertible Notes – Gain (loss) on change in the fair value of convertible notes increased by $11.0 million, or 302%, to $7.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026 from a loss of $3.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The gain recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2026 was primarily driven by the gain on the remeasurement of the related party convertible promissory note of $1.4 million and the gain on the remeasurement of the Ascent PIPE Notes of approximately $6.0 million.
Gain on Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities – Gain on change in the fair value of warrant liabilities was not material during the three months ended September 30, 2026.
Loss on Change in Fair Value of Digital Assets – Loss on change in fair value of digital assets was less than $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025. We disposed of our digital assets before the period and in result, we did not have any changes in fair value.
Interest Expense – Interest expense decreased by $0.1 million, or 87%, to less than $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026, from $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the conversion of the entirety of our junior convertible debt and a significant portion of our convertible senior notes at the closing of our Business Combination.
Gain on Extinguishment of Debt – Gain on extinguishment of debt increased by $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026. The increase was primarily due to the extinguishment of our convertible senior notes and promissory notes during the three months ended September 30, 2026.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt – Loss on extinguishment of debt increased by $7.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026. The increase was due to the extinguishment of our related party convertible promissory note and convertible loans payable during the three months ended September 30, 2026.
Financing Costs, Net – Financing costs, net decreased by $1.4 million, or 100%, during the three months ended September 30, 2026. Our financing costs were $1.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 due to our issuance of shares on the ELOC agreement. We did not have any issuances of shares on the ELOC agreement during the three months ended September 30, 2026 which is primarily driving the decrease for the period, as well as gains from settlement of certain obligations through the issuance of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock of $0.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026 .
Other Income – Other income increased by less than $0.1 million, or 33%, during the three months ended September 30, 2026 primarily due to sublease income recognized during the period.

Research and Development – Research and development expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 41%, to $2.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 from $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was driven primarily by the increase in regulatory and contract research organization (“CRO”) costs of $0.8 million which is in line with our focus on research and development to complete device functionality and reach the point of commercialization in the near future, offset by a decrease in personnel costs of $0.3 million due to our reduction in force.
General and Administrative – General and administrative expenses decreased by $13.4 million, or 59%, to $9.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 from $22.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in transaction fees related to legal, accounting and other third party professional services of $11.4 million and personnel costs of $2.6 million as a result of our Business Combination that closed in 2025, offset by an increase to insurance fees of $0.4 million.
Gain (Loss) on Change in the Fair Value of Convertible Notes – Gain (loss) on change in the fair value of convertible notes increased by $6.3 million, or 158%, to $2.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 from a loss of $4.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by gains recognized the fair value remeasurement of the Ascent PIPE notes of $1.6 million, gains recognized for the related-party convertible promissory note with NVAC of $1.2 million, partially offset by fair value losses recognized on Tasly related party convertible note of $0.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The gains recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were principally attributable to changes in the estimated fair values of the respective convertible instruments including the effects of changes in the Company’s common stock price and the terms of the instruments.
Gain on Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities – Gain on change in the fair value of warrant liabilities was $0.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to $0.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, representing a decrease of $0.2 million. The decrease reflects differences in the fair value adjustments recognized on our outstanding liability-classified warrants between the respective periods. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the fair values of the Private Placement and Representative’s Warrant liabilities decreased substantially, primarily due to the decline in our common stock price relative to the warrants’ exercise price, resulting in an approximately $0.3 million gain. Additionally, we recognized a $0.4 million gain from the remeasurement of the Ascent Warrants prior to their reclassification to equity during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
50
Loss on Disposal of Digital Assets – Loss on disposal of digital assets was $0.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as we disposed of our digital assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. We did not have any disposals of digital assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Loss on Change in Fair Value of Digital Assets – Loss on change in fair value of digital assets was less than $0.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We disposed of our digital assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and in result, we did not have any changes in fair value during the period.
Interest Expense – Interest expense decreased by $2.4 million, or 98%, to less than $0.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, from $2.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the conversion of the entirety of our junior convertible debt and a significant portion of our convertible senior notes at the closing of our Business Combination.
Gain on Extinguishment of Debt – Gain on extinguishment of debt increased by $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The increase was due to the extinguishment of our PPP loan, convertible senior notes and promissory notes during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt – Loss on extinguishment of debt increased by $7.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The increase was due to the extinguishment of our related party convertible promissory note and convertible loans payable during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Financing Costs, Net – Financing costs, net increased by $1.0 million, or 71%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The increase was primarily due to $2.2 million of Ascent Warrant issuance expense and $0.1 million from the loss on settlement of forward share issuance contract during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. In comparison, financing costs, net were $1.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 due to our issuance of shares under the ELOC agreement.
Other Income – Other income increased by $0.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 primarily due to sublease income recognized during the period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Since inception, we have incurred recurring annual losses from operations, and we expect to continue to incur losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future until we successfully commence sustainable commercial operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we incurred a net loss of $17.2 million and $31.2 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we have used $6.9 million and $11.1 million, respectively, of cash in our operating activities. As of September 30, 2026, we had outstanding borrowings with aggregate carrying amounts of approximately $6.8 million, all of which were classified as current liabilities. Certain of these borrowings are measured at fair value under the fair value option, and their carrying amounts may differ from the contractual principal and interest payable upon maturity or settlement. Our outstanding debt obligations include past-due borrowings and convertible notes with contractual maturities during the fourth quarter of 2026 and in 2027, some of which may be settled through the issuance of common stock pursuant to their contractual terms. See Note 5 for further details.
We have been able to finance our operations primarily with the proceeds from the issuance of equity and debt instruments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we obtained net cash from financing activities of $4.4 million, compared to $14.9 million for the same period during 2025. We held cash of $0.3 million and $1.8 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Additional funds may be necessary to maintain current operations and will be required for successful product commercialization efforts. Conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 are issued.
51
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have reviewed the relevant conditions and events surrounding its ability to continue as a going concern including among others: historical losses, projected future results, cash requirements for the upcoming year, funding capacity, net working capital, total stockholders’ equity (deficit) and future access to capital.
It is our expectation to continue to make substantial investments in building our European and United States commercial infrastructure and enhancing existing products and developing new ones. Furthermore, we aim to continue discussions with potential partners in Asia.
We expect that we will require additional financing to fund our operations and planned growth. We may seek to raise any additional capital through equity offerings or debt financings, additional credit or loan facilities or a combination of one or more of these funding sources. In the scenario that we are unable to acquire sufficient financing or financing on terms satisfactory to our management or Board of Directors, our ability to continue to pursue our business objectives and to respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances could be significantly limited, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. As of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, there continue to be factors which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
We expect to rely on our existing cash resources, potential additional borrowings under the Ascent PIPE financing arrangement, proceeds from the ELOC and other potential equity or debt financings to support our operating activities and planned commercialization efforts. However, our existing cash resources and available financing arrangements may not be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating expenses, working capital requirements and planned capital expenditures. Our ability to obtain additional funding under these arrangements is subject to certain contractual conditions, market conditions and, in certain cases, investor discretion, and there can be no assurance that sufficient funding will be available when needed or on acceptable terms. Accordingly, substantial doubt remains about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to stockholders may result. Any equity securities issued may also provide for rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of holders of common stock. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities may have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of common stockholders. The terms of debt securities or borrowings could impose significant restrictions on our operations. The capital markets are currently experiencing, and may continue to experience in the future, periods of upheaval that could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing.
Our principal uses of cash in recent periods have been funding our research and development activities, legal and bank transaction fees, and other personnel cost. Near-term capital requirements through September 30, 2027 leading to and supporting initial commercialization are estimated to total approximately $10.2 million and include further research and development to enable us to obtain the required regulatory approvals, manufacturing, commercialization and wide-scale marketing for our Lumee Oxygen and Lumee Glucose devices. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, the timing and the amount of cash received from our customers, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts. In the future, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, and technologies. For any periods after the twelve months subsequent to the filing of these financial statements as of September 30, 2026, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that we require additional financing, we may not be able to raise such financing on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to continue our research and development and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. If adequate funds are not available, we may need to reconsider our production investments, the pace of our production ramp-up, expansion plans or limit our research and development activities, which could have a material adverse impact on our business prospects and results of operations.

Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 of $6.9 million was primarily driven by our net loss of $17.2 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $7.2 million and net cash inflows of $3.0 million provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.8 million, loss on extinguishment of debt of $7.9 million, loss on fair value of convertible notes of $2.3 million, non-cash expenses from settlement of liabilities of $1.0 million, stock-based compensation of $0.5 million, loss on the disposal of digital assets of $0.3 million, gain on change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $0.7 million, and the non-cash warrant issuance expense of $2.2 million. The main driver of the cash inflows from the changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily related to an increase in accounts payable of $2.7 million and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.4 million.
Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of $11.1 million was primarily driven by our net loss of $31.2 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $14.6 million and net cash inflows of $5.4 million provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of noncash interest expense of $2.5 million, loss on fair value of convertible notes of $3.7 million, stock-based compensation of $0.7 million, gain on change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $0.9 million, non-cash issuance of inducement shares in connection with the merger of $7.6 million, and the non-cash issuance of warrants associated with ELOC costs of $1.0 million. The main driver of the cash inflows from the changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily related to an increase in accounts payable of $3.2 million and an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $2.3 million.
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities was $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, which was primarily due to the sale of our Bitcoins.
Cash used in investing activities was $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 due to our purchase of Bitcoins.
53
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities was $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, which consisted primarily of proceeds from the issuance of ELOC of $2.9 million, proceeds from the issuance of PIPE notes of $2.8 million, offset by the repayment of borrowings of $1.3 million.
Cash provided by financing activities was $14.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which consisted primarily of proceeds from the issuance of convertible senior notes of $1.5 million, proceeds from issuance of PIPE notes of $11.0 million, proceeds from the ELOC of $3.5 million, offset by our payment on notes and convertible loans payable of $1.1 million.
Contractual Obligations
We have contingent commitments consisting of $2.6 million of management bonuses approved in July 2026 ($0.4 million payable in cash and $2.2 million payable in shares), which remain subject to stockholder approval, and a financial advisory fee of $0.6 million in cash and up to $3.1 million in shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock payable upon closing of the acquisition of G3. We may also become obligated to redeem shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock for cash if stockholder approval of conversion is not obtained within the applicable periods.
As of September 30, 2026, we had outstanding borrowings with aggregate carrying amounts of approximately $6.8 million, all of which were classified as current liabilities. Certain of our outstanding borrowings are measured at fair value under the fair value option, and their carrying amounts may differ from the contractual amounts payable upon maturity or settlement.
Our contractual borrowing obligations include past-due related-party convertible debt and promissory notes, a related-party convertible promissory note maturing in December 2026, and Ascent convertible promissory notes with contractual maturities generally occurring during 2027 or earlier upon the occurrence of certain contractual events. Certain borrowing arrangements provide for conversion or settlement through the issuance of common stock, while other obligations may require cash repayment, including applicable interest and other contractual amounts.
Our ability to satisfy these obligations depends on available cash, future financing activities, potential debt conversions or other settlements, and the willingness of creditors to extend or modify existing arrangements. Given our limited cash resources, historical operating losses, and working capital deficit, we may be unable to satisfy certain obligations as they become due without obtaining additional financing or negotiating alternative settlement arrangements.
Refer to Note 5 for further information regarding the terms of our outstanding borrowings and Note 1 for additional discussion of our liquidity uncertainties.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The accounting policies that we consider to be our most critical, that require our most subjective or complex judgments, are summarized in “Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Estimates” in our Annual Report on the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2026. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, certain additional accounting estimates became critical as a result of the Option Agreement and our reassessment of the excise tax liability assumed in connection with the Business Combination, as discussed below. Except as described below, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
G3 Call Option Asset
On July 31, 2026, we entered into the Option Agreement, which gives us the right, but not the obligation, to acquire 100% of the equity securities of G3. As consideration for the option, and as an advance of a portion of the total consideration, we issued 50,280 shares of common stock and 52,903.566 shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Initial Consideration”). The Initial Consideration is nonrefundable. We recorded the G3 Call Option as an asset of $28.3 million within non-current assets, with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital, equal to the fair value of the Initial Consideration on the issuance date. The G3 Call Option was classified as a non-current asset because it represents a right to acquire a business for long-term strategic purposes and is not expected to be realized in cash or converted into current assets within our normal operating cycle. We account for the G3 Call Option at cost and do not remeasure it to fair value each period. If we exercise the option, the carrying amount will be remeasured to fair value and included in the consideration transferred. If the option expires unexercised, the carrying amount will be charged to expense.
Our estimates and judgments in accounting for the G3 Call Option include (i) whether the carrying amount is recoverable at each reporting date, (ii) the likelihood and timing of exercise, and (iii) the classification of the asset as non-current. Our ability to exercise depends on conditions that are largely outside our control. These include completing or obtaining binding commitments for at least $30.0 million of financing, G3 delivering audited and reviewed financial information, stockholder and Nasdaq approvals, continued Nasdaq listing, and the refinancing of certain G3 indebtedness. The option expires 90 days after G3 delivers the specified financial information, which has not been fulfilled as of September 30, 2026. In assessing recoverability at September 30, 2026 based on the above factors, we are actively negotiating the terms of the acquisition with the G3 sellers, as well as seeking financing to satisfy the closing conditions of the potential acquisition. As of September 30, 2026, we concluded that no impairment existed.
Valuation of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock
The Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock has no observable market price and cannot be converted into common stock until our stockholders approve the conversion. Each share converts into 250 shares of common stock after that approval. We estimate its fair value using a probability-weighted expected return method, and incorporate the as-converted value of the shares and adjust for the probability and timing of stockholder approval and conversion, the likelihood of obtaining the required financing, and a discount for lack of marketability.
55
The significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock issued during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 are summarized below. The valuation incorporates probability-weighted scenarios, including the likelihood of obtaining the financing required in connection with the potential G3 acquisition, as this assumption affects the estimated value of the Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock.
| Valuation Assumption | ||||
| Expected volatility | 251.40% - 354.32 | % | ||
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.98% - 4.05 | % | ||
| Expected term (years) | 0.42 - 0.79 | |||
| Discount for lack of marketability | 43.6% - 60.0 | % | ||
| Probability of conversion | 93.5 | % | ||
| Probability of obtaining required financing | 85.0% - 95.0 | % | ||
| Fair value of Common stock | $4.24 - $4.53 | |||
We applied this valuation to the Initial Consideration issued on July 31, 2026, which determined the carrying amount of the G3 Call Option at fair value of $28.3 million, and to the 5,929.293 shares issued in August 2026 to settle liabilities and transaction costs, which had an aggregate fair value of approximately $3.1 million. Fair value is determined on each grant date and is not remeasured subsequently as the issued Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock is determined to be equity classified. The estimate directly affects the G3 Call Option’s carrying amount, the gain or loss on extinguishment of debt, general and administrative expense, research and development expense and financing costs. These measurements involve significant judgment, and the discount for lack of marketability and the probabilities of conversion and financing are the most sensitive inputs. Changes in these assumptions could materially change the amounts recorded.
To illustrate the sensitivity of these estimates, a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in the discount for lack of marketability, holding all other assumptions constant, would have decreased or increased the aggregate fair value of our Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock by approximately $5.5 million. Similarly, a 10% decrease in the estimated probabilities of conversion and obtaining required financing would have reduced the aggregate fair value by approximately $3.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively, while corresponding increases in these probabilities subject to a maximum of 100%, would have increased the aggregate fair value by approximately $2.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Additionally, a 10% increase or decrease in our common stock price would have increased or decreased the aggregate fair value by approximately $3.0 million. These sensitivities reflect hypothetical changes to individual assumptions at the respective valuation dates, with all other assumptions held constant, and do not represent subsequent remeasurement of our equity-classified Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
Excise Tax Liability Assumed in the Business Combination
In connection with the Business Combination, we assumed a liability for the 1% U.S. federal excise tax imposed under Section 4501 of the Internal Revenue Code on certain repurchases of stock, including redemptions (the "excise tax"). The determination of whether, and to what extent, the excise tax applies requires significant judgment in interpreting and applying the applicable Treasury regulations and related tax guidance to the facts and circumstances of the Business Combination. We consider the determination of our excise tax liability to be a critical accounting estimate due to the complexity of the applicable guidance, the material impact of the estimate on our financial position, and the potential for the ultimate amount payable to differ materially from our estimate.
During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we obtained additional information and completed a further evaluation of the applicable Treasury regulations and related tax guidance. Based on this evaluation, we revised our estimate of the excise tax liability expected to be payable and concluded that the previously recorded liability was no longer required, other than approximately $44 thousand of costs associated with seeking confirmation of the applicable tax treatment. We accounted for this revision as a change in accounting estimate, recognized prospectively in the period of change. Accordingly, during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we reduced excise tax payable by approximately $1.9 million, with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. The change had no effect on our net loss, net loss per share or cash flows. See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Our estimate reflects management's interpretation of the applicable tax guidance, informed by advice received from our tax advisors. A significant judgment underlying our determination is the application of the netting rule under Section 4501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, pursuant to which the fair market value of qualifying shares issued during the applicable taxable year may reduce the amount of stock repurchases subject to the excise tax. Based on our evaluation, we concluded that qualifying shares issued in connection with the Business Combination were sufficient to offset the redemptions subject to the excise tax.
Our determination remains subject to uncertainty, including the possibility that the Internal Revenue Service may disagree with our interpretation or application of the applicable tax guidance. If our position were successfully challenged, we could be required to recognize an additional excise tax liability of up to approximately $1.9 million, plus any applicable interest and penalties. Any resulting adjustment would be recognized in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance in the period in which recognition is required and could materially affect our financial position and, depending on the nature of the adjustment, our results of operations. Any related interest and penalties would be evaluated separately for appropriate recognition and presentation.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
56
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2026, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of September 30, 2026, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of September 30, 2026, these material weaknesses have not been remediated.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously discussed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (File No. 001-41177) filed with the SEC on April 15, 2026 and in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-295364) effective as of May 4, 2026.
Risks Related to Our Proposed Acquisitions and Strategic Transactions
Our proposed acquisition of G3 Vision Labs Inc. and its subsidiaries is subject to numerous conditions and may not be completed on the terms currently contemplated, or at all.
On July 31, 2026, we entered into an option agreement with certain stockholders of G3 Vision Labs Inc. (“G3”) pursuant to which we obtained the right, but not the obligation, to acquire 100% of the outstanding equity securities of G3. G3 owns all or substantially all of the equity securities of Med Screen Laboratories Inc., Dominion Diagnostics LLC and Acutis Diagnostics Inc. Our ability to exercise the option and complete the contemplated acquisition is subject to numerous conditions, including: (i) consummating, or obtaining binding commitments for, one or more financings resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of at least $30.0 million; (ii) the refinancing, repayment or other satisfaction of certain G3 indebtedness or receipt of applicable lender consents; (iii) receipt of certain stockholder and Nasdaq approvals; (iv) continued listing of our common stock on Nasdaq; (v) release of the sellers from certain obligations relating to indebtedness of the target companies; and (vi) execution of definitive acquisition documents. The option expires 90 days after the target companies provide us with specified audited and reviewed financial information. There can be no assurance that we will satisfy these conditions within the required timeframes, if at all. Even if we satisfy the conditions to exercise the option, the contemplated acquisition may not be completed due to factors outside our control, including our failure to obtain necessary financing on acceptable terms or third-party consents. If the acquisition is not completed, we will not realize the anticipated benefits, will have incurred significant transaction costs, and will have issued 50,280 shares of common stock (as adjusted for the August Reverse Stock Split) and 52,903.566 shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock to the sellers without acquiring the target companies. In addition, the announcement of the proposed transaction may cause disruption to our business and divert management attention from our ongoing operations.
We may be unable to successfully integrate G3 and its subsidiaries or realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.
If we complete the acquisition of G3, we will face significant challenges integrating G3’s operations, technologies, and personnel with our existing business. The success of the acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies from combining the businesses. We may be unable to successfully integrate G3’s operations, technologies, and personnel in a timely manner, or at all. The integration process may disrupt our ongoing business and divert management resources, and we may encounter unexpected costs, liabilities, or delays. G3 and its subsidiaries operate in the health diagnostics and toxicology testing market, which is different from our current biosensing focus, and we have limited experience operating in this market. We may face difficulties retaining key employees, customers, or suppliers of G3. If we fail to successfully integrate G3, or if the integration takes longer or costs more than anticipated, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected, and we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Any future acquisitions could present a number of risks, including: the risk of using management time and resources to pursue acquisitions that are not successfully completed; the risk of incorrect assumptions regarding the future results of acquired operations; the risk of failing to integrate the operations or management of any acquired operations or assets successfully and timely; and the risk of diversion of management’s attention from existing operations or other priorities.

Holders of our Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock may experience significant dilution upon conversion, and we may be required to redeem such shares for cash if stockholder approval for conversion is not obtained.
In connection with the Option Agreement, we issued an aggregate of 52,903.566 shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock to the sellers and 3,037.381 shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock to our financial advisor. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 250 shares of common stock (as adjusted for the August Reverse Stock Split) following receipt of required stockholder approval, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. If stockholder approval is obtained and all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock is converted, approximately 55.9 million shares of common stock would be issuable, which would result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders. Furthermore, if we exercise the option to acquire G3, the sellers will be entitled to receive an additional 53,918.113 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which would be convertible into an additional approximately 53.9 million shares of common stock upon stockholder approval. Prior to receipt of any applicable stockholder approval, the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into more than 19.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing date, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules. In addition, if the acquisition closes and, 18 months following closing, the required stockholder approval for conversion has not been obtained and we are unable or otherwise fail to deliver the common shares issuable upon conversion, each seller may elect to require us to redeem its Series A Preferred Stock for cash at an amount based on the then-current fair value of the underlying common stock. We may not have sufficient funds available to satisfy any such redemption obligation, and such redemption could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.
Risks Related to Our Management and Personnel
We recently experienced significant changes in our executive leadership, and the transition may disrupt our business.
In connection with the proposed acquisition contemplated by the non-binding term sheet, effective July 21, 2026, Jack Stover was appointed Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Ben Hwang was appointed President. On July 26, 2026, Mr. Hwang resigned from the Board of Directors while continuing to serve as President, and Liviu Goldenberg was appointed as an independent director. From time to time, our executive management team may change from the hiring or departure of executives, which could disrupt our business. These leadership changes may result in disruption to our business and operations as our new executives become familiar with our operations, strategy, and personnel. Our success depends largely upon the continued services of our executive officers and on certain other mission-critical individual contributors. We rely on our leadership team for the management and oversight of our business operations, including developing and executing our strategy, business and financial planning, research and development, and other functions. The loss of one or more of our executive officers or key employees could have a serious adverse effect on our business. Competition for qualified personnel in our industry is intense, and we may be unable to retain our current key employees or attract and retain additional qualified personnel. The loss of, or failure to attract, key personnel could delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Risks Related to Warrants Issued in Connection with Debt Financing
Dilution from warrant exercise
The warrants we issued in connection with the Ascent Convertible Note Agreement under Tranche 3 on April 20, 2026 may result in dilution to our existing stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
In connection with the additional closing on April 2, 2026, the Company issued an Ascent PIPE Note with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $0.6 million. The note matures on April 2, 2027, bears interest at 12% per annum and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to the terms of the note. As consideration for Ascent’s participation in the April 2, 2026 additional closing, Ascent earned a warrant (“Ascent Warrant”) to purchase 11,111 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.28 per share, as adjusted for the July and August Reverse Stock Splits. The Ascent Warrant was exercisable on a cash or cashless basis for a period of five years and was subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation and customary anti-dilution adjustments.
59
In connection with the additional closing on April 20, 2026, the Company issued an Ascent PIPE Note with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.1 million. The note matures on April 20, 2027, bears interest at 12% per annum and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to the terms of the note. In connection with the April 20, 2026 closing, the Company entered into a side letter agreement with Ascent pursuant to which Ascent waived certain defaults under the Purchase Agreement and the Company issued a replacement Ascent Warrant that replaced the warrant earned on April 2, 2026. The replacement warrant increased the number of shares issuable upon exercise from 11,111 shares to 33,333 shares, as adjusted for the July and August Reverse Stock Splits, retained an exercise price of $4.28 per share and is exercisable on a cash or cashless basis through April 20, 2031. The Ascent Warrant was fair valued at $2.2 million at April 20, 2026 and was expensed under financing costs, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 9 for inputs to estimate the fair value of the warrant at issuance. The Company also agreed to provide Ascent with demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the underlying shares.
In connection with the issuance of the replacement warrant, Ascent entered into a lock-up agreement with the Company, dated April 20, 2026, pursuant to which Ascent agreed not to transfer the shares underlying the replacement warrant for 120 days, expiring August 22, 2026, subject to customary exceptions. Any permitted transferee is required to execute a lock-up agreement on substantially similar terms.
On August 12, 2026, in connection with Amendment No. 5 to the PIPE Subscription Agreement, the Company amended the exercise price of the Ascent Warrants to $1.07 per share, which was subsequently adjusted to $4.28 per share to reflect the August 17, 2026 reverse stock split. The amendment did not change the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. As of September 30, 2026, the Ascent Warrants, if fully exercised into 33,333 common shares, would represent approximately 1.31% of our outstanding common stock on a post-exercise, fully diluted basis.
If the market price of our common stock exceeds the exercise price of the Warrants at the time of exercise, the exercise of the Warrants will have a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders’ ownership interests. The holder of the Warrants may exercise them at a time when we could otherwise obtain additional capital on terms more favorable to us than the terms available to the Warrant holder. The issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the Warrants, or the perception that such exercise may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.
Anti-dilution / down-round protection
The Warrants contain anti-dilution provisions that could result in further dilution to our stockholders and could limit our ability to raise capital on favorable terms.
The Warrants include anti-dilution provisions pursuant to which, subject to certain exceptions, if we issue or sell shares of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) at an effective price per share below the then-current exercise price of the Warrants, the exercise price of the Warrants will be reduced to that lower price, and/or the number of shares issuable upon exercise will be increased.
While no such adjustment has been triggered to date, if we raise additional capital in the future at a price below the current Warrant exercise price, these provisions would be triggered, resulting in additional dilution to our existing stockholders beyond that resulting from the exercise of the Warrants alone. The existence of these anti-dilution provisions may also make it more difficult and costly for us to raise additional capital, as potential investors may view the prospect of triggering these adjustments unfavorably, and may require us to negotiate less favorable terms with future investors to account for this risk.
If exercised for cash, the Warrants would provide us with additional liquidity; however, we cannot predict when or whether the Warrant holder will exercise the Warrants, and the likelihood of exercise depends largely on the market price of our common stock relative to the exercise price. We are not relying on proceeds from Warrant exercises to fund our operations, and there can be no assurance that any such proceeds will be available to us.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On July 31, 2026, in connection with entering into the Option Agreement with certain stockholders of G3 Vision Labs Inc. described in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company issued to the sellers an aggregate of 50,280 shares of common stock (as adjusted for the August Reverse Stock Split) and 52,903.566 shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock . The securities were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, based on representations made by the sellers regarding their status as accredited investors and the private nature of the transaction. In connection with entering into the Option Agreement, the Company issued 3,037.381 shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock to its financial advisor.
During August 2026, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,929.293 shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock in settlement of approximately $6.3 million of outstanding liabilities, including amounts owed to financial advisors, vendors, employees and holders of outstanding notes. Refer to Note 8 for further details regarding these issuances.
In connection with the Option Agreement and the Company’s efforts to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, the Company is undertaking a debt reorganization (the “Debt Reorganization”) consisting of (i) the exchange by holders of certain of the Company’s outstanding promissory notes and convertible notes of such notes for shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) and (ii) the subscription by certain service providers owed fees by the Company, including former underwriters and advisors in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and business combination with NorthView Acquisition Corporation, for shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock in satisfaction of amounts owed to them pursuant to subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”).
On August 12, 2026, the Company entered into Exchange Agreements with certain holders of its outstanding notes, including Blake Cleveland, William McMillan, Kurt Petersen and Roy Rogers, pursuant to which such holders agreed to exchange their notes for shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock at a rate of approximately 0.934579 shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock for every $1,000 of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, reflecting an effective price of $4.28 per common share equivalent after giving effect to the August Reverse Stock Split. The noteholders party to the Exchange Agreements hold notes with an aggregate principal amount and accrued interest of approximately $6.9 million, which are expected to be exchanged for an aggregate of up to approximately 6,403.095 shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock. The exchange is subject to customary closing conditions, including the accuracy of representations and warranties and the absence of a material adverse effect, and the shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock issued thereunder will automatically convert into shares of common stock on the later of the third business day following delivery of such shares and the first date on which conversion is permitted under the Certificate of Designation, subject to the receipt of stockholder approval and applicable beneficial ownership limitations.
Between August 11, 2026 and August 20, 2026, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements with Dawson James Securities, Inc., Finalis Securities, LLC, H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, I-Bankers Securities, Inc., Lacarya Scott and Romy Seth, pursuant to which each subscriber agreed to accept shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, valued at $1,070 per share (equivalent to $4.28 per share of common stock after giving effect to the August Reverse Stock Split), in full satisfaction of deferred underwriting compensation, success fees or other amounts owed by the Company to such subscriber in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and business combination. Upon issuance, the Company’s obligation to pay such amounts in cash is satisfied and discharged. The Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock issued under the Subscription Agreements is convertible into shares of common stock following receipt of stockholder approval, subject to beneficial ownership limitations. The Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion.
The securities were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, with respect to the shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting the exchange.

Item 5. Other Information.
As previously disclosed on April 29, 2026, on April 24, 2026, the Company entered into that certain Note Modification and Conversion Agreement (the “Agreement”) with NorthView Sponsor I LLC (the “Holder”), to amend that certain Promissory Note dated as of April 27, 2023, as amended and restated on January 8, 2024 and as further amended on May 31, 2024 and March 20, 2026 (as so amended, the “Note”), in the original principal amount of up to $2,500,000.
On July 31, 2026, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Note Modification and Conversion Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with the Holder, to further amend the Agreement. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Agreement was amended to (i) reflect the receipt of Stockholder Approval at a Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Company held on June 23, 2026, (ii) increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined in the Agreement) to 49.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note held by the Holder, (iii) amend the Conversion Price to be equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on July 31, 2026, as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market, and (iv) provide that the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion shall be determined by dividing the product of the principal amount of the Note being converted and 122%, by the Conversion Price.
On August 12, 2026, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to Note Modification and Conversion Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with the Holder. Pursuant to the Third Amendment the Agreement was amended to change the conversion price to the greater of (a) $4.28, and (b) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the delivery of the conversion notice.
On November 5, 2026, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to Note Modification and Conversion Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) with the Holder. Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the Agreement was amended to change the conversion price to a price per share equal to the greater of (a) $0.20 (the “Floor Price”), and (b) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the applicable conversion notice is delivered to the Company, as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market, in each case subject to equitable adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or similar transaction, and in no event less than the Floor Price (as so adjusted). The amended conversion price applies to any conversion of the Note for which a conversion notice is delivered on or after November 5, 2026, and the number of shares issuable upon conversion continues to be determined by dividing the product of the principal amount of the Note being converted and 122% by the conversion price. The Fourth Amendment was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and by the Board of Directors of the Company.
