NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(amounts in these accompanying notes are presented in thousands, except number of shares and per-share amounts.)
Note 1 — The Company
Description of the Business
PAVmed is structured to be a multi-product life sciences company organized to advance a pipeline of innovative healthcare technologies. Led by a team of highly skilled personnel with a track record of bringing innovative products to market, PAVmed is focused on innovating, developing, acquiring, and commercializing novel products that target unmet medical needs with large addressable market opportunities. Leveraging our corporate structure—a parent company that will establish distinct subsidiaries for each financed asset—we have the flexibility to raise capital at the PAVmed level to fund product development, or to structure financing directly into each subsidiary in a manner tailored to the applicable product, the latter of which is our current strategy given prevailing market conditions.
Our current focus is multi-fold. We continue to pursue commercial expansion and execution of EsoGuard, which is the flagship product of our majority-owned subsidiary Lucid Diagnostics Inc. (Nasdaq: LUCD) (“Lucid”). In addition, through a separate majority-owned subsidiary, Veris Health (“Veris”), we are focused on entering into strategic partnership opportunities with leading academic oncology systems to expand access to the Veris Platform. In terms of other existing products and technologies, we have adopted an incubator-type platform where we are looking to obtain financing on a product-by-product basis as necessary to advance each asset to a meaningful inflection point along its path to commercialization. Finally, as resources permit, we will continue to explore external innovations that fulfill our project selection criteria without limiting ourselves to any target sector, specialty or condition.
Note 2 — Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company’s management is required to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the one year period following the date of the financial statements being issued. In each reporting period, including interim periods, an entity is required to assess conditions known and reasonably knowable as of the financial statement issuance date to determine whether it is probable an entity will not meet its financial obligations within one year from the financial statement issuance date. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate it is probable the entity will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.
The
Company has financed its operations principally through public and private issuances of its common stock, preferred stock, common stock
purchase warrants, and debt. The Company is subject to all of the risks and uncertainties typically faced by medical device and diagnostic
companies that devote substantially all of their efforts to the commercialization of their initial product and services and ongoing research
and development activities and conducting clinical trials. The Company generated $
The
Company incurred a net loss attributable to PAVmed Inc. common stockholders of approximately $
The Company’s ability to continue operations 12 months beyond the issuance of the financial statements, will depend upon generating substantial revenue that is conditioned upon obtaining positive third-party reimbursement coverage for its EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test from both government and private health insurance providers, increasing revenue through contracting directly with self-insured employers, and on its ability to raise additional capital through various potential sources including equity and/or debt financings or refinancing existing debt obligations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2024, except as otherwise noted herein below.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of PAVmed and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company holds a majority-ownership interest and has controlling financial interest in each of: Lucid Diagnostics and Veris Health, with the corresponding noncontrolling interest included as a separate component of consolidated stockholders’ equity (deficit), including the recognition in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of a net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest based on the respective minority-interest equity ownership of each majority-owned subsidiary. See Note 14, Noncontrolling Interest, for a discussion of each of the majority-owned subsidiaries noted above. The Company manages its operations as a single operating segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions.
As permitted under SEC rules, certain footnotes or other financial information normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements at such date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, and in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of routine recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial information.
The unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any other interim period or for any other future periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related unaudited condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2024.
All amounts in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto are presented in thousands of dollars, if not otherwise noted as being presented in millions of dollars, except for shares and per share amounts.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and the determination of corresponding carrying value reserve, if any, and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent losses, as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include those related to the estimated fair value of debt obligations, stock-based equity awards, intangible assets and common stock purchase warrants. Other significant estimates include the estimated incremental borrowing rate, the provision or benefit for income taxes and the corresponding valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Additionally, management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Due to inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in these estimates.

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when the satisfaction of the performance obligation occurs, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to collect in exchange for those services. The Company’s revenue is primarily generated by its laboratory testing services utilizing its EsoGuard Esophageal DNA tests. The services are completed upon release of a patient’s test result to the ordering healthcare provider. Revenue recognized is inclusive of both variable consideration in connection with an individual patient’s third-party insurance coverage policy and fixed consideration in connection with a contracted services arrangement with an unrelated third party legal entity. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The key aspects considered by the Company include the following:
Contracts—The Company’s customer is primarily the patient, but the Company does not enter into a formal reimbursement contract with a patient. The Company establishes a contract with a patient in accordance with other customary business practices, which is the point in time an order is received from a provider and a patient specimen has been returned to the laboratory for testing. Payment terms are a function of a patient’s existing insurance benefits, including the impact of coverage decisions with Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and applicable reimbursement contracts established between the Company and payers. However, when a patient is considered self-pay, the Company requires payment from the patient prior to the commencement of the Company’s performance obligations. The Company’s consideration can be deemed variable or fixed depending on the structure of specific payer contracts, and the Company considers collection of such consideration to be probable to the extent that it is unconstrained.
Performance obligations—A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) to the customer. The Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, which is satisfied upon rendering of services, which culminates in the release of a patient’s test result to the ordering healthcare provider. The Company elects the practical expedient related to the disclosure of unsatisfied performance obligations, as the duration of time between providing testing supplies, the receipt of a sample, and the release of a test result to the ordering healthcare provider is far less than one year.
Transaction price—The transaction price is the amount of consideration that the Company expects to collect in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example, some sales taxes). The consideration expected to be collected from a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both.
If the consideration derived from the contracts is deemed to be variable, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the promised goods or services. The Company limits the amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price to the unconstrained portion of such consideration. In other words, the Company recognizes revenue up to the amount of variable consideration that is not subject to a significant reversal until additional information is obtained or the uncertainty associated with the additional payments or refunds is subsequently resolved.
When the Company does not have significant historical experience or that experience has limited predictive value, the constraint over estimates of variable consideration may result in no revenue being recognized upon delivery of patient EsoGuard test results to the ordering healthcare provider. As such, the Company recognizes revenue up to the amount of variable consideration not subject to a significant reversal until additional information is obtained or the uncertainty associated with additional payments or refunds, if any, is subsequently resolved. Differences between original estimates and subsequent revisions, including final settlements, represent changes in estimated expected variable consideration, with the change in estimate recognized in the period of such revised estimate. With respect to a contracted service arrangement, the fixed consideration revenue is recognized on an as-billed basis upon delivery of the laboratory test report with realization of such fixed consideration deemed probable based upon actual historical experience.
Allocate transaction price—The transaction price is allocated entirely to the performance obligation contained within the contract with a customer on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or service.
Practical Expedients—The Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component, as at contract inception, the Company expects the collection cycle to be one year or less.

Fair Value Option (“FVO”) Election
Under a Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 31, 2022, the Company issued a Senior Secured Convertible Note dated April 4, 2022, referred to herein as the “April 2022 Senior Convertible Note”, and a Senior Secured Convertible Note dated September 8, 2022, referred to herein as the “September 2022 Senior Convertible Note”, which are accounted under the “fair value option election” as discussed below.
Under a Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 13, 2023, Lucid Diagnostics issued a Senior Secured Convertible Note dated March 21, 2023, referred to herein as the “Lucid March 2023 Senior Convertible Note”, which is accounted under the “fair value option election” as discussed below.
Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Derivative and Hedging, (“ASC 815”), a financial instrument containing embedded features and/or options may be required to be bifurcated from the financial instrument host and recognized as separate derivative asset or liability, with the bifurcated derivative asset or liability initially measured at estimated fair value as of the transaction issue date and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value as of each reporting period balance sheet date.
Alternatively, FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, (“ASC 825”) provides for the “fair value option” (“FVO”) election. In this regard, ASC 825-10-15-4 provides for the FVO election (to the extent not otherwise prohibited by ASC 825-10-15-5) to be afforded to financial instruments, wherein the financial instrument is initially measured at estimated fair value as of the transaction issue date and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value as of each reporting period balance sheet date, with changes in the estimated fair value recognized as other income (expense) in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value adjustment of the April 2022 Senior Convertible Note, the September 2022 Senior Convertible Note and the Lucid March 2023 Senior Convertible Note is presented in a single line item within other income (expense) in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations (as provided for by ASC 825-10-50-30(b)). Further, as required by ASC 825-10-45-5, to the extent a portion of the fair value adjustment is attributed to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk, such portion would be recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) (for which there was no such adjustment with respect to the April 2022 Senior Convertible Note, the September 2022 Senior Convertible Note or the Lucid March 2023 Senior Convertible Note).
See Note 9, Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements, with respect to the FVO election; and Note 10, Debt, for a discussion of the April 2022 Senior Convertible Note, the September 2022 Senior Convertible Note and the Lucid March 2023 Senior Convertible Note.
Reclassifications
Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, which includes presenting costs of revenue within operating expenses on the statements of operations, in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The impact of the reclassifications made to prior year amounts is not material and did not affect net loss.
Recent Accounting Standards Updates Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 provide for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company prospectively to all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which require public companies disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. The guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements, unless it is impracticable. The Company does not expect the standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This update modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification to conform with certain SEC amendments in Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively, and the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or S-K becomes effective. However, if the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations by June 30, 2027, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this update will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

The estimated fair values recognized utilized PAVmed and Lucid’s common stock prices, along with certain Level 3 inputs (as presented in the respective tables above), in the development of Monte Carlo simulation models, discounted cash flow analyses, and /or Black-Scholes valuation models. The estimated fair values are subjective and are affected by changes in inputs to the valuation models and analyses, including the respective common stock prices, probability weighting of floor prices on conversions under two scenarios, the dividend yields, the risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields, and certain other Level-3 inputs including, assumptions regarding the estimated volatility in the value of the respective common stock prices. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the recognized estimated fair values.

The basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalent incremental shares, while diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding includes such incremental shares. However, as the Company was in a loss position for all years presented, basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same, as the inclusion of the incremental shares would be anti-dilutive.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”), including the following discussion and analysis of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations, contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, contained in this Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the Company’s actual results may differ significantly from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Item 1A of Part I of the Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors.”
Important factors that may affect our actual results include:
| ● | our limited operating history; | |
| ● | our financial performance, including our ability to generate revenue; | |
| ● | our ability to obtain regulatory approval for the commercialization of our products; | |
| ● | the risk that the FDA will cease to exercise enforcement discretion with respect to LDTs, like EsoGuard; | |
| ● | the ability of our products to achieve market acceptance; | |
| ● | our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors; | |
| ● | our potential ability to obtain additional financing when and if needed; | |
| ● | our ability to protect our intellectual property; | |
| ● | our ability to complete strategic acquisitions; | |
| ● | our ability to manage growth and integrate acquired operations; | |
| ● | the potential liquidity and trading of our securities; | |
| ● | our regulatory and operational risks; | |
| ● | cybersecurity risks; | |
| ● | risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic and other health-related emergencies; and | |
| ● | our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements and needs for additional financing. |
In addition, our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future financings, acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make.
We may not actually achieve the results, plans, and/or objectives disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and the intended or expected developments and/or other events disclosed in our forward-looking statements may not actually occur, and accordingly you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. You should read this Form 10-Q and the documents we have filed as exhibits to this Form 10-Q and the Form 10-K completely and with the understanding our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
Overview
PAVmed is structured to be a multi-product life sciences company organized to advance a pipeline of innovative healthcare technologies. Led by a team of highly skilled personnel with a track record of bringing innovative products to market, PAVmed is focused on innovating, developing, acquiring, and commercializing novel products that target unmet needs with large addressable market opportunities. Leveraging our corporate structure—a parent company that will establish distinct subsidiaries for each financed asset—we have the flexibility to raise capital at the PAVmed level to fund product development, or to structure financing directly into each subsidiary in a manner tailored to the applicable product, the latter of which is our current strategy given prevailing market conditions.
| 28 |
Our current focus is multi-fold. We continue to pursue commercial expansion and execution of EsoGuard, which is the flagship product of our majority-owned subsidiary Lucid Diagnostics Inc. (Nasdaq: LUCD) (“Lucid” or “Lucid Diagnostics”). In addition, through a separate majority-owned subsidiary, Veris Health Inc. (“Veris” or “Veris Health”), we are focused on entering into strategic partnership opportunities with leading academic oncology systems to expand access to the Veris Platform. In terms of other existing products and technologies, we have created an incubator-type platform where we are looking to obtain financing on a product-by-product basis as necessary to advance each asset to a meaningful inflection point along its path to commercialization. Finally, as resources permit, we will continue to explore external innovations that fulfill our project selection criteria without limiting ourselves to any target sector, specialty or condition.
See Part I, Item 1, “Business”, in the Form 10-K for a more detailed summary of the medical device, diagnostics, and digital health sectors and our key products, including in particular EsoGuard and the Veris Platform, which are currently our two leading products.
Recent Developments
Business
Management Services Agreement/Payroll Benefits and Expense Reimbursement Agreement with Lucid Diagnostics
On March 22, 2024, PAVmed and Lucid entered into an eighth amendment to the the management services agreement between PAVmed and Lucid (“MSA”) to increase the monthly fee thereunder from $0.75 million per month to $0.83 million per month, effective as of January 1, 2024. The amendment also reset the maximum number of shares issuable under the agreement to 19.99% of the shares outstanding as of the date of the amendment.
On January 26, 2024, in accordance with the MSA and the payroll, benefits and expense reimbursement agreement between PAVmed and Lucid (“PBERA”), PAVmed elected to receive payment of approximately $4.7 million of fees and reimbursements accrued under the MSA and the PBERA through the issuance of 3,331,771 shares of Lucid’s common stock.
PAVmed Distribution of Lucid Diagnostics Common Stock to Shareholders
On February 15, 2024, the Company distributed by special dividend to the Company stockholders 3,331,747 shares of Lucid Diagnostics common stock held by the Company. On such date, each PAVmed shareholder as of the January 15, 2024 record date received a stock dividend of approximately 38 shares of Lucid common stock for every 100 shares of PAVmed common stock they held as of such date. The shares distributed were approximately equal to the number of shares of common stock that Lucid issued to PAVmed on or about January 26, 2024 in satisfaction of certain intercompany obligations due to Lucid from PAVmed, as discussed above.
This distribution constituted an “Extraordinary Dividend” as defined in the warrant agreement that governs the Company’s Series Z Warrants. As a result, pursuant to the warrant agreement, the exercise price under the Series Z Warrants per full share of PAVmed common stock was automatically decreased by $0.52 (the fair market value of 0.37709668 of a share of Lucid Diagnostics’ common stock as of the date of the distribution) to $23.48 per share.
Nasdaq Notice
On March 7, 2024, the Company received a notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department stating that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (through March 6, 2024), the market value of the Company’s listed securities (“MVLS”) had been below the minimum of $35 million required for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). The notification letter stated that the Company would be afforded 180 calendar days (until September 3, 2024) to regain compliance. In order to regain compliance, the Company’s MVLS must close at $35 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. The notification letter also states that in the event the Company does not regain compliance prior to the expiration of the 180-day period, the Company will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting. The Nasdaq notification has no effect at this time on the listing of the Company’s common stock or Series Z warrants, and the stock and warrants will continue to trade uninterrupted under the symbol “PAVM” and “PAVMZ”, respectively.

Incubator Program
On March 21, 2024, the Company announced that it has launched a wholly owned incubator, PMX, to complete development and commercialization of existing portfolio technologies, including PortIO, EsoCure and CarpX. PMX and Hatch Medical, L.L.C. (“Hatch Medical”), a medical device incubator and technology brokerage firm, have executed a joint venture agreement to advance the technologies.
Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, PAVmed will assign PortIO, EsoCure and CarpX to its wholly owned incubator, PMX. Starting with PortIO, the Company will seek to independently finance a separate subsidiary of the incubator to develop and commercialize each technology. Hatch Medical will provide strategic advisory and brokerage services to the subsidiary to advance the technology through key milestones and, subsequently, seek to engage a strategic partner to acquire, license or distribute the commercial product.
Veris Cancer Care Platform
On April 30, 2024, we announced that Veris and a National Cancer Institute-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center had executed a memorandum of understanding to implement a pilot program where cancer patients would be enrolled on the Veris Cancer Care Platform.
FDA Enforcement Discretion
In April 2024, FDA published the final rule under which FDA intends to phase out its general enforcement discretion approach for LDTs so that IVDs manufactured by a laboratory would generally fall under the same enforcement approach as other IVDs (the proposed rule was published in October 2023). In the final rule, FDA has expanded the categories of LDTs that will be eligible for continued enforcement discretion, which categories include LDTs first marketed prior to May 6, 2024 and LDTs approved by New York State’s Clinical Laboratory Evaluation Program (NYS CLEP). As EsoGuard was marketed prior to the cutoff date, and is also NYS CLEP-approved, EsoGuard will remain under continued enforcement discretion from FDA’s premarket review requirements and quality systems requirements (except for record-keeping). As such, there is no immediate impact from the final rule on Lucid’s regulatory strategy.
Financing
Extension of Senior Convertible Notes
Effective as of March 12, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment and waiver (the “Note Amendment and Waiver”) with the holder of the April 2022 Senior Convertible Note and the September 2022 Senior Convertible Note (each such term as defined below). Pursuant to the Note Amendment and Waiver, the maturity date of the April 2022 Senior Convertible Note was extended to April 4, 2025 and the maturity date of the September 2022 Senior Convertible Note was extended to September 8, 2025, in each case subject to further extension in certain circumstances. The holder of the such note also waived, for the period commencing on December 1, 2023 and ending on August 31, 2024, the financial covenant contained in such notes requiring that the ratio of (a) the outstanding principal amount of the notes, accrued and unpaid interest thereon and accrued and unpaid late charges to (b) the Company’s average market capitalization over the prior ten trading days, not exceed 30%, and that the Company’s market capitalization not be less than $75 million. In consideration of the Note Amendment and Waiver, the Company agreed to pay the holder of the notes $2.0 million in cash (or in such other form as may be mutually agreed in writing) by April 25, 2024, which has been extended to June 15, 2024.
See our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements Note 10, Debt, for further discussion of the senior convertible notes.

Lucid Diagnostics - Preferred Stock Offerings
On March 13, 2024, Lucid entered into subscription agreements (each, a “Lucid Series B Subscription Agreement”) and exchange agreements (each, a “Lucid Series B Exchange Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (collectively, the “Lucid Series B Investors”), which agreements provided for (i) the sale to the Series B Investors of 12,495 shares of Lucid’s newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Lucid Series B Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, and (ii) the exchange by the Lucid Series B Investors of 13,625 shares of Lucid’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Lucid Series A Preferred Stock”), and 10,670 shares of Lucid’s Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Lucid Series A-1 Preferred Stock”), held by them for 31,790 shares of Lucid Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Lucid Series B Offering and Exchange”). Prior to the execution of the Lucid Series B Subscription Agreements and the Lucid Series B Exchange Agreements, Lucid entered into subscription agreements with certain of the Lucid Series B Investors providing for the sale to such investors of 5,670 shares of Lucid Series A-1 Preferred Stock, at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, which shares the investors immediately agreed to exchange for shares of Lucid Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Lucid Series B Exchange Agreements (and are included in the 10,670 shares of Lucid Series A-1 Preferred Stock set forth above). Each share of the Lucid Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 and a conversion price of $1.2444. The terms of the Lucid Series B Preferred Stock also include a one times preference on liquidation and a right to receive dividends equal to 20% of the number of shares of Lucid common stock into which such Lucid Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, payable on the one-year and two-year anniversary of the issuance date. The holders of the Lucid Series B Preferred Stock also will be entitled to dividends equal, on an as-if-converted to shares of Lucid common stock basis, to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of Lucid common stock when, as, and if such dividends are paid on shares of Lucid common stock. The Lucid Series B Preferred Stock is a voting security. The aggregate gross proceeds to Lucid of these transactions was $18.16 million (inclusive of $5.67 million of aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Lucid Series A-1 Preferred Stock that was immediately exchanged for Lucid Series B Preferred Stock in the transactions).
As a result of 100% of the then-outstanding shares of Lucid Series A Preferred Stock and Lucid Series A-1 Preferred Stock being exchanged for shares of Lucid Series B Preferred Stock in the Lucid Series B Offering and Exchange, no shares of Lucid Series A Preferred Stock or Lucid Series A-1 Preferred Stock remain outstanding.
On May 6, 2024, Lucid issued approximately 11,634 shares of newly designated Lucid Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Lucid Series B-1 Preferred Stock”). The terms of the Lucid Series B-1 Preferred Stock are substantially identical to the terms of the Lucid Series B Preferred Stock, except that the Lucid Series B-1 Preferred Stock has a conversion price of $0.7228. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of shares in such offering were $11.6 million.
PAVmed - ATM Facility
In December 2021, we entered into an “at-the-market offering” for up to $50 million of our common stock that may be offered and sold under a Controlled Equity Offering Agreement between us and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”). In March 2023, the “at-the-market offering” became subject to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, which limits sales of our securities under this instruction in any 12-month period to one-third of the aggregate market value of our public float (unless our public float rises to $75 million or more, in which case the instruction will cease to apply). As a result of this limitation and our then-current public float, in May 2023, we amended our “at-the-market offering” to cover up to $18 million of our common stock. In the three month period ended March 31, 2024, the Company sold 133,299 shares through its at-the-market equity facility for net proceeds of approximately $0.5 million, after payment of 3% commissions.
Lucid Diagnostics - Committed Equity Facility and ATM Facility
In March 2022, Lucid Diagnostics entered into a committed equity facility with a Cantor affiliate. Under the terms of the committed equity facility, the Cantor affiliate has committed to purchase up to $50 million of Lucid Diagnostics’ common stock from time to time at Lucid Diagnostics’ request. While there are distinct differences, the committed equity facility is structured similarly to a traditional at-the-market equity facility, insofar as it allows Lucid Diagnostics to raise primary equity capital on a periodic basis at prices based on the existing market price. Cumulatively, a total of 680,263 shares of Lucid Diagnostics’ common stock were issued for net proceeds of approximately $1.8 million, after a 4% discount, as of March 31, 2024.
In November 2022, Lucid Diagnostics also entered into an “at-the-market offering” for up to $6.5 million of its common stock that may be offered and sold under a Controlled Equity Offering Agreement between Lucid Diagnostics and Cantor. Cumulatively, a total of 230,068 shares of Lucid Diagnostics’ common stock were issued through its at-the-market equity facility for net proceeds of approximately $0.3 million, after payment of 3% commissions, as of March 31, 2024.

Results of Operations
Overview
Revenue
The Company recognized revenue resulting from the delivery of patient EsoGuard test results when the Company considered the collection of such consideration to be probable to the extent that it is unconstrained.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenues recognized from the delivery of patient EsoGuard test results includes costs related to EsoCheck device usage, shipment of test collection kits, royalties and the cost of services to process tests and provide results to physicians. We incur expenses for tests in the period in which the activities occur, therefore, gross margin as a percentage of revenue may vary from quarter to quarter due to costs being incurred in one period that relate to revenues recognized in a later period.
We expect that gross margin for our services will continue to fluctuate and be affected by EsoGuard test volume, our operating efficiencies, patient compliance rates, payer mix, the levels of reimbursement, and payment patterns of payers and patients.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for employees engaged in sales, sales support and marketing activities, as well as advertising and promotion expenses. We anticipate our sales and marketing expenses will increase in the future, to the extent we expand our commercial sales and marketing operations as resources permit and insurance reimbursement coverage for our EsoGuard test expands.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for personnel, travel expenses, facility-related costs, professional fees for accounting, tax, audit and legal services, salaries and related costs for employees involved in third-party payor reimbursement contract negotiations and consulting fees and other expenses associated with obtaining and maintaining patents within our intellectual property portfolio.
We anticipate our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future to the extent our business operations grow. Furthermore, we anticipate continued expenses related to being a public company, including fees and expenses for audit, legal, regulatory, tax-related services, insurance premiums and investor relations costs associated with maintaining compliance as a public company.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses are recognized in the period they are incurred and consist principally of internal and external expenses incurred for the development of our products, including:
| ● | consulting costs for engineering design and development; | |
| ● | salary and benefit costs associated with our medical research personnel and engineering personnel; | |
| ● | costs associated with regulatory filings; | |
| ● | patent license fees; | |
| ● | cost of laboratory supplies and acquiring, developing, and manufacturing preclinical prototypes; | |
| ● | product design engineering studies; and | |
| ● | expenses for facilities maintained solely for research and development purposes. |
Our current research and development activities, including our clinical trials, are focused principally on the acceleration of EsoGuard and Veris Cancer Care Platform commercialization. We will resume research and development activities with respect to other products in our pipeline as well as applicable new technologies, as resources permit.
Other Income and Expense, net
Other income and expense, net, consists principally of changes in fair value of our convertible notes and losses on extinguishment of debt upon repayment of such convertible notes.
Presentation of Dollar Amounts
All dollar amounts in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are presented as dollars in millions, except for share and per share amounts.

Cost of revenue
In the three months ended March 31, 2024, cost of revenue was approximately $1.7 million as compared to $1.3 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The $0.4 million increase was principally related to:

Sales and marketing expenses
In the three months ended March 31, 2024, sales and marketing costs were approximately $4.3 million as compared to $4.5 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The net decrease of $0.2 million was principally related to:

General and administrative expenses
In the three months ended March 31, 2024, general and administrative costs were approximately $6.7 million as compared to $10.4 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The net decrease of $3.7 million was principally related to:

| ● | approximately $1.2 million decrease in third-party professional fees and expenses related to legal services and consulting fees. |
Research and development expenses
In the three months ended March 31, 2024, research and development costs were approximately $1.9 million as compared to $4.1 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The net decrease of $2.2 million was principally related to:

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets
The amortization of acquired intangible assets was approximately $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $0.5 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The decrease of $0.1 million in the current period was due to certain acquired intangible assets being fully amortized in February 2024.

Change in fair value of convertible debt
In the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the change in the fair value of our convertible notes was approximately $2.2 million and $1.0 million of expense, respectively, related to the April 2022 Senior Convertible Note, the September 2022 Senior Convertible Note, and the Lucid March 2023 Senior Convertible Note (as defined in Note 10, Debt, to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements).

In the three months ended March 31, 2023, in connection with the issue of the Lucid March 2023 Senior Convertible Note, we recognized a total of approximately $1.2 million of lender fees and offering costs. The Company did not incur lender fees and offering costs in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Loss on Debt Extinguishment
In the three months ended March 31, 2024, a debt extinguishment loss in the aggregate of approximately $0.4 million was recognized in connection with our April 2022 Senior Convertible Note and September 2022 Senior Convertible Note as discussed below.

In addition, the Company paid $0.2 million in cash related to acceleration floor payments on these notes related to the conversion price being below $2.70, recorded as debt extinguishment loss. The conversions and cash paid resulted in a debt extinguishment loss of $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. |
In comparison, in the three months ended March 31, 2023, a debt extinguishment loss in the aggregate of approximately $0.5 million was recognized in connection with our April 2022 Senior Convertible Note as discussed below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our current financing strategy is to obtain capital directly into Lucid, Veris and other subsidiaries to fund any product development or other related activities. There are no assurances, however, we will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources required for the short-term or long-term commercialization and development of our products and services.
We have financed our operations principally through the public and private issuances of our common stock, preferred stock, common stock purchase warrants, and debt. We are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties typically faced by medical device and diagnostic and medical device companies that devote substantially all of their efforts to the commercialization of their initial product and services and ongoing R&D and clinical trials. We experienced a net loss before noncontrolling interests of approximately $18.5 million and used approximately $13.1 million of cash in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Financing activities provided $19.0 million of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2024. We ended the quarter with cash on-hand of $25.5 million as of March 31, 2024. We expect to continue to experience recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, and will continue to fund our operations with debt and/or equity financing transactions, including current obligations on the Company’s existing convertible debt which in accordance with management’s plans may include conversions to equity and refinancing our existing debt obligations to extend the maturity date. The Company’s ability to continue operations 12 months beyond the issuance of the financial statements will depend upon generating substantial revenue that is conditioned on obtaining positive third-party reimbursement coverage for its EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test from both government and private health insurance providers, increasing revenue through contracting directly with self-insured employers, and on its ability to raise additional capital through various potential sources including equity and/or debt financings or refinancing existing debt obligations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Securities Purchase Agreement - March 31, 2022 - Senior Secured Convertible Notes - April 4, 2022 and September 8, 2022
Effective as of March 31, 2022, we entered into the SPA with an accredited investor, pursuant to which we agreed to sell, and the investor agreed to purchase an aggregate of $50.0 million face value principal of Senior Secured Convertible Notes. The SPA provided for the sale of the initial Senior Secured Convertible Note with a face value principal of $27.5 million, which closed on April 4, 2022 (referred to as the “April 2022 Senior Convertible Note”). The April 2022 Senior Secured Convertible Note had an initial contractual maturity date of April 4, 2024, which maturity date the investor agreed to extend by one year, to April 4, 2025. The April 2022 Senior Convertible Note may be converted into or otherwise paid in shares of our common stock as described in Note 10, Debt.
On September 8, 2022, we completed an additional closing under the SPA, in which we sold to the investor an additional Senior Secured Convertible Note with a face value principal of $11.25 million (referred to as the “September 2022 Senior Convertible Note”). The September 2022 Senior Secured Convertible Note had an initial contractual maturity date of September 6, 2024, which maturity date the investor agreed to extend by one year, to September 8, 2025. The September 2022 Senior Convertible Note may be converted into or otherwise paid in shares of our common stock as described in Note 10, Debt.
Under the April 2022 Senior Convertible Note, the September 2022 Senior Convertible Note and the SPA, we are subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness and the making of investments, the payment of cash in respect of dividends, distributions or redemptions, the transfer of assets, the maturity of other indebtedness, and transactions with affiliates, among other customary matters. We also are subject to financial covenants requiring that (i) the amount of our available cash equal or exceed $8.0 million at all times, (ii) the ratio of (a) the outstanding principal amount of the notes issued under the SPA, accrued and unpaid interest thereon and accrued and unpaid late charges to (b) our average market capitalization over the prior ten trading days, not exceed 30% (the “Debt to Market Cap Ratio Test”), and (iii) that our market capitalization shall at no time be less than $75 million (the “Market Cap Test” and, together with the Debt to Market Cap Ratio Test, the “Financial Tests”). From time to time from and after December 1, 2023 through March 12, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with the Financial Tests. As of March 12, 2024, the investor agreed to waive any such non-compliance during such time period and thereafter through August 31, 2024. Based on the waiver, as of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the Financial Tests. In addition, based on the waiver, the Company presently is in compliance with the Financial Tests.
In consideration of the covenant waiver and maturity extensions discussed above, the Company agreed to pay the holder of the notes $2.0 million in cash (or in such other form as may be mutually agreed in writing) by April 25, 2024, which has been extended to June 15, 2024.
See Note 10, Debt, to the Financial Statements for additional information about the SPA, the April 2022 Senior Convertible Note, and the September 2022 Senior Convertible Note.
