CATHETER PRECISION, INC. (formerly known as RA MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC.)
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Nature of Operations
The Company
Catheter Precision Inc. (formerly known as Ra Medical Systems, Inc.) ("Catheter" or the “Company” or “Legacy Ra Medical’ when speaking about historical operations pre-Merger (see below) is a medical device company that owns intellectual property related to an advanced excimer laser-based platform for use in the treatment of vascular immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. Its excimer laser and single-use catheter system, together referred to as the DABRA Excimer Laser System (“DABRA”), is used as a tool in the treatment of peripheral artery disease. The Company paused all engineering and manufacturing activities during the third quarter of 2022, including the development of a version of the DABRA catheter that is compatible with a standard interventional guidewire. The Company also paused research to prove the feasibility of using a DABRA-derived catheter technology to fracture calcium in arteries in a procedure known as lithotripsy. On July 5, 2022, the Company announced the receipt of FDA 510(k) clearance for the DABRA 2.0 catheter as part of the DABRA Excimer Laser System. The Company suspended sales of DABRA during the year ended December 31, 2022 and currently has no plans to commercialize DABRA 2.0. The Company was formed on September 4, 2002 in the state of California and reincorporated in Delaware on July 14, 2018.
On January 9, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of the former Catheter Precision, Inc., previously a privately-held Delaware corporation (“Old Catheter”), which is focused on the cardiac electrophysiology market and now is a wholly-owned limited liability company subsidiary of the Company, (the "Merger"). Following the Merger, the Company began focusing on the field of cardiac electrophysiology (see Note 3, Business Combination). Catheter’s primary product is the View into Ventricular Onset, (“VIVO” or “VIVO System”). VIVO is a non-invasive imaging system that offers 3D cardiac mapping to help with localizing the sites of origin of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias in patients with structurally normal hearts prior to electrophysiology studies. The VIVO system has achieved a CE Mark allowing it to be commercialized in the European Union and has been placed at several hospitals in Europe. FDA 510(K) clearance in the United States was received and the Company began a limited commercial release of VIVO in 2021.
In addition, the Company’s Surgical Vessel Closing Pressure Device (“LockeT”) is a sterile, Class I product that was registered with the FDA in February 2023, at which time we began initial shipments to distributors. LockeT is indicated for wound healing by distributing suture tension over a larger area in the patient in conjunction with a figure of eight suture closure, and it is intended to temporarily secure sutures and aid clinicians in locating and removing sutures efficiently.
Clinical studies for LockeT began during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. These studies are planned to show the product’s effectiveness and benefits, including faster wound closure, earlier ambulation, potentially leading to early hospital discharge, and cost analysis. This data is intended to provide crucial data for marketing and to expand our indications for use with the FDA.
Prior to 2018, Old Catheter sold the AMIGO remote catheter system (the “AMIGO” or “AMIGO System”) which provides for accurate positioning, manipulation and stable control of catheters for use by electrophysiologists in the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal heart rhythms known as cardiac arrhythmias. The Company owns the intellectual property related to the AMIGO System.
Going Concern
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $

Management expects operating losses and negative cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future as the Company invests in its commercial capabilities. Additional costs associated with the Merger paid during the year ended December 31, 2022 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 have substantially depleted the Company’s cash. Following the Merger with Old Catheter, management further reduced staff and other costs while assuming the operating costs of Old Catheter. Of the Company’s cash flows used in operating activities of $
As a result of these factors, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and Old Catheter. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial results of Old Catheter are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of completion of the Merger, to September 30, 2023.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP"). Certain footnotes and other financial information normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company The operating results presented herein are not necessarily an indication of the results that may be expected for the year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 28, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are based upon a number of estimates including, but not limited to, the accounting for the Old Catheter business combination (see Note 3, Business Combination), allowance for credit losses, evaluation of impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, valuation of long-lived assets and their associated estimated useful lives, reserves for warranty costs, fair value of royalties payable, evaluation of probable loss contingencies, fair value of preferred stock and warrants issued, and the fair value of equity awards granted.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. Credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents are based on the creditworthiness of the financial institutions at which these funds are held. The Company has cash balances at financial institutions which throughout the year may exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits. Any material loss that the Company may experience in the future could have an adverse effect on its ability to pay its operational expenses or make other payments and may require the Company to move its cash to other high quality financial institutions. Currently, the Company is reviewing its bank relationships in order to mitigate its risk to ensure that its exposure is limited or reduced to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation protection limits.
The Company extends credit to customers in the normal course of business. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable exist to the full extent of amounts presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company does not require collateral from its customers to secure accounts receivable.
The Company has no significant off-balance sheet risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts, or other hedging arrangements.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates in one business segment, which is the marketing, sales and development of medical technologies focused in the field of cardiac electrophysiology.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents primarily represent funds invested in readily available checking and money market accounts. The Company maintains deposits in financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits of $250,000, in the amount of $
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value represents the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants and is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to identify inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 - Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.
Cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses are reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at carrying value which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are presented net of allowances for credit losses. Prior to the Legacy Ra Medical’s discontinuation of sales of catheters in June 2022, Legacy Ra Medical sold its catheters directly to distributors or physicians and maintained an allowance for credit losses for balances that appeared to have specific collection issues. The collection process was based on the age of the invoice and required attempted contacts with the customer at specified intervals. Delinquent accounts receivable were charged against the allowance for credit losses once the Company determined the amounts were uncollectible. The factors considered in reaching this determination were the apparent financial condition of the customer and the Company’s success in contacting and negotiating with the customer. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers deteriorated, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances might have been required.
As a result of and in connection with the Merger, the Company's revenue streams are derived from Old Catheter’s revenue streams, and as such the accounts receivable policy for the post-Merger entity is described below.
Accounts receivable are derived from the sale of products shipped and services performed for customers primarily located in the U.S. and Europe. Invoices are aged based on contractual terms with the customer. The Company reviews accounts receivable for collectability and provides an allowance for potential credit losses. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 90 days. The Company has not experienced material losses related to accounts receivable as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Many of the sales contracts with customers outside of the U.S. are settled in a foreign currency other than the U.S. dollar. The Company does not enter into any foreign currency hedging agreements and is susceptible to gains and losses from foreign currency fluctuations. To date, the Company has not experienced significant gains or losses upon collecting receivables denominated in a foreign currency.

The Company records accounts receivable at the invoiced amount less an allowance for any expected uncollectible accounts. In evaluating the Company’s ability to collect outstanding receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, collection history, and current economic trends. Bad debts are written off after all reasonable collection efforts have been made.
Accounts receivable consists of the following:

As of September 30, 2023, the entire allowance for credit losses is related to Legacy Ra Medical receivables.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Cost includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories. The Company reduced the carrying value of inventories for those items that were potentially excess, obsolete or slow-moving based on changes in customer demand, technological developments or other economic factors.
Effective June 6, 2022, the Company’s board of directors approved a staggered reduction in force (“RIF”). On September 2, 2022, the Company completed the RIF. The purpose of the RIF was to preserve capital with the goal of maximizing the opportunities available to the Company in furtherance of the board of directors’ review of strategic alternatives. As a result of the RIF, the Company paused all engineering and manufacturing activities during the third quarter of 2022.
Prior to the RIF (as defined above), the Legacy Ra Medical’s catheters were manufactured in-house and each catheter was tested at various stages of the manufacturing process for adherence to quality standards. Catheters that did not meet functionality specification at each test point were destroyed and immediately written off, with the expense recorded in cost of revenues in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Once manufactured, completed catheters that passed quality assurance, were sent to a third-party for sterilization and sealed in a sterile container. Upon return from the third-party sterilizer, a sample of catheters from each batch were re-tested. If the sample tests were successful, the batch was accepted into finished goods inventory. If the sample tests were unsuccessful, the entire batch was written off, with the expense recorded in cost of revenues in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Machinery and equipment | ||
Computer hardware and software | ||
VIVO DEMO/Clinical Systems | ||
Furniture and fixtures |
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the leasehold improvement or the term of the underlying property’s lease.
The Company periodically reviews the residual values and estimated useful lives of each class of its property and equipment for ongoing reasonableness, considering long-term views on its intended use of each class of property and equipment and the planned level of improvements to maintain and enhance assets within those classes.
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the account balances and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income for the period. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred, whereas significant betterments are capitalized.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the long-lived assets may not be recoverable. Should the sum of the undiscounted expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value, the Company would recognize an impairment loss at that date.
Due to Legacy Ra Medical’s RIF and the decision to discontinue enrollment of patients in its clinical trial, the Company ceased manufacturing activities. The Company’s property and equipment was determined to be impaired as of June 30, 2022, resulting in an impairment charge of $
Goodwill
In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price of Old Catheter over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. The Company reviews goodwill for possible impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
To determine whether goodwill is impaired, annually or more frequently if needed, the Company performs a multi-step impairment test. The Company first has the option to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The Company may also elect to skip the qualitative testing and proceed directly to the quantitative testing. When performing quantitative testing, the Company first estimates the fair values of its reporting units using a combination of an income and market approach.
To determine fair values, the Company is required to make assumptions about a wide variety of internal and external factors. Significant assumptions used in the impairment analysis include financial projections of free cash flow (including significant assumptions about operations including the rate of future revenue growth, capital requirements, and income taxes), long-term growth rates for determining terminal value and discount rates. Comparative market multiples are used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow test. These assumptions require significant judgement. Pursuant to Accounting Standards Update (''ASU'') 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, the single step is to determine the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and compare it to the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill. To the extent the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied goodwill, the difference is the amount of the goodwill impairment. The Company also completes a reconciliation between the implied equity valuation prepared and the Company’s market capitalization. The majority of the inputs used in the discounted cash flow model are unobservable and thus are considered to be Level 3 inputs. The inputs for the market capitalization calculation are considered Level 1 inputs. There were impairment charges of $
Royalties Liability
The Company is obligated to pay royalties under various royalty agreements Old Cather had entered into. On January 9, 2023, prior to the consummation of the Merger, Old Catheter entered in an agreement with its Convertible Promissory Noteholders (“Noteholders”), which substantially consisted of amounts due to David A. Jenkins, previously Old Catheter's Chairman of the Board of Directors prior to the Merger, and, currently, the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, to forgive all accrued interest and future interest expense in exchange for a future royalty right.

Table of Contents |
In addition,
During 2006 and 2007, Old Catheter entered into two investment grant agreements with a non-profit foundation for the purpose of funding the initial development of Old Catheter's AMIGO System. The agreement calls for the payment to the foundation, upon successful commercialization of the AMIGO System (see Note 9, Royalties Payable).
As of the date of the Merger, the royalties payable has an estimated fair value of approximately $
Product Warranty
The Legacy Ra Medical products were warrantied against defects in material and workmanship when properly used for their intended purpose and appropriately maintained. Accordingly, the Company generally replaced catheters that kinked or failed to calibrate. The product warranty liability was determined based on historical information such as past experience, product failure rates or number of units repaired, estimated cost of material and labor. The product warranty liability also includes the estimated costs of a product recall.
The warranty accrual is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Warranty expenses are included in cost of revenues in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Changes in estimates to previously established warranty accruals resulted from current period updates to assumptions regarding repair and product recall costs and are included in current period warranty expense.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to interest rate, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.
Embedded derivatives must be separately measured from the host contract if all the requirements for bifurcation are met. The assessment of the conditions surrounding the bifurcation of embedded derivatives depends on the nature of the host contract. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are recognized at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations for each period.
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
The Company relies on the guidance provided by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, to classify certain redeemable and/or convertible instruments. The Company first determines whether a financial instrument should be classified as a liability. The Company will determine the liability classification if the financial instrument is mandatorily redeemable, or if the financial instrument, other than outstanding shares, embodies a conditional obligation that the Company must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares.
Once the Company determines that a financial instrument should not be classified as a liability, the Company determines whether the financial instrument should be presented between the liability section and the equity section of the balance sheet (“mezzanine equity”). The Company will determine temporary equity classification if the redemption of the financial instrument is outside the control of the Company (i.e. at the option of the holder). Otherwise, the Company accounts for the financial instrument as permanent equity.

Revenue Recognition
The Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), and all related appropriate guidance. The core principle of this standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company measures revenue based upon the consideration specified in the client arrangement, and revenue is recognized when the performance obligations in the client arrangement are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct service to the customer. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation. Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods. To achieve this core principal, the Company applies the following five steps:
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation
Subsequent to the Merger, the Company’s primary product is the VIVO System. The VIVO System offers 3D cardiac mapping to help with localizing the sites of origin of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias in patients with structurally normal hearts prior to electrophysiology studies. In addition to the VIVO System, customers are provided with VIVO Positioning Patch Sets, which are custom patches, that are used in conjunction with the VIVO System to complete the intended output of the VIVO System. The delivery of the VIVO System, including the VIVO Positioning Patch Sets represents the Company’s primary performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue upon the delivery of the VIVO system. The Company also provides customers with the option to pay for software upgrades in advance at the time of the contract's inception. Software upgrades are stand-ready services, whereby the Company will provide software upgrade services to the customer when and as upgrades are available. Terms of the period covered by the payment of software upgrades in advance can range from one year to multiple years. Customers have the option to renew terms covered by software upgrades at the end of each term. The stand-ready software upgrades represent the Company's second separate performance obligation and revenue is recognized over the term of the period.
The Company invoices the customers after physical possession and control of the VIVO System is transferred to the customer and recognizes revenue upon delivery. The timing of payment for the corresponding invoices is dependent upon the credit terms identified in each contract. The Company invoices customers who pay for software upgrades in advance in conjunction with the invoice for the delivery of the VIVO System, and subsequent renewals of software upgrades are invoiced at the inception of the term. Revenue for these stand-ready services is recognized evenly over the term of the upgrade period, consistently with similar stand-ready services under Topic 606. Similar to the delivery of the VIVO System, the timing of payment for the corresponding invoices is dependent upon the credit terms identified in each contract.

Legacy Ra Medical Revenue
The Company generated revenue from the sales of products and services. Product sales consisted of the sales of catheters for use with the DABRA laser system. The Company paused selling commercial products in late 2020 and was only selling catheters for use in the atherectomy clinical trial prior to the discontinuation of such sales in June 2022. The Company’s sales agreements generally did not include right-of-return provisions for any form of consideration, including partial refund or credit against amounts owed to the Company. Services and other revenues primarily consisted of billable services, including fees related to DABRA laser commercial usage agreements.
The Company accounted for a contract with a customer when it had a legally enforceable contract with the customer, the arrangement identified the rights of the parties, the contract had commercial substance, and the Company determined it was probable that it would collect the contract consideration. The Company recognized revenue when control of the promised goods or services transferred to customers, in an amount that reflected the consideration the Company expected to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Taxes collected from customers relating to goods or services and remitted to governmental authorities were excluded from revenue.
When engaged in commercial sales, the Company entered into a DABRA laser commercial usage agreement or DABRA laser placement acknowledgement with each customer that was supplied a DABRA laser, collectively the “usage agreement”, which provided for specific terms of continued use of the DABRA laser, including a nominal periodic fee. The terms of a usage agreement typically allowed the Company to place a DABRA laser at a customer’s specified location without a specified contract term. Under the usage agreement terms, the Company retained all ownership rights to the DABRA laser and was permitted to request the return of the equipment within 10 business days of notification. While the laser periodic fees were nominal, the usage agreement provided the Company the exclusive rights to supply related single-use catheters to the customer which aggregated the majority of the product sales revenue. There were no specified minimum purchase commitments for the catheters.
The Company recognized revenue associated with the usage agreements and catheter supply arrangements in accordance with Topic 606 since (i) the contract primarily included variable payments, (ii) the catheters were priced at their standalone selling price, and (iii) the laser equipment was insignificant in the context of the contract. Revenue was recognized when the performance obligation was satisfied which was generally upon shipment of the catheter. The Company did not pursue sales for Legacy Ra Medial products during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

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

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share of Common Stock
The Company calculates basic net loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. A net loss cannot be diluted so when the Company is in a net loss position, basic and diluted loss per common share are the same. If in the future the Company achieves profitability, the denominator of a diluted earnings per common share calculation will include both the weighted average number of shares outstanding and the number of common stock equivalents, if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents would be dilutive. Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share include warrants, stock options, non-vested restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and Series X Convertible Preferred (see Note 11, Net loss per Share).
Net loss attributable to common stockholders consists of net income or loss, as adjusted for actual and deemed dividends declared. The Company recorded a deemed dividend for the modification of existing warrants and issuance of new warrants during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $
Recently Announced Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments: Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires measurement and recognition of expected losses for financial assets held. The new standard changes the impairment model for most financial instruments, including trade receivables, from an incurred loss method to a new-forward looking approach, based on expected losses. The estimate of expected credit losses will require organization to incorporate considerations of historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The standards update is effective prospectively for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, for a U.S. Securities Exchange filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies. The standards update is effective prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022 for smaller companies. The adoption of ASU 2016 did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”) which clarifies guidance for fair value measurement of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction and establishes new disclosure requirements for such equity securities. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2022-03 on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
As an emerging growth company, the Company may elect to adopt new or revised accounting standards when they become effective for non-public companies, which typically is later than public companies must adopt the standards. The Company has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the JOBS Act and, as a result, will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-public companies.

The Merger is being accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Topic 805 and the Company has been determined to be the accounting acquirer. The Company allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. The preliminary purchase price allocation reflects various preliminary fair value estimates and analyses, including certain tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the valuation of intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and goodwill, which are subject to change within the measurement period as preliminary valuations are finalized (generally one year from the acquisition date). Measurement period adjustments are recorded in the reporting period in which the estimates are finalized, and adjustment amounts are determined. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments based on changes to certain estimates and assumptions and their related impact to the purchase price allocation.

There were no inventory obsolescence charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Due to Legacy Ra Medical’s RIF and decision to discontinue enrollment of patients in its clinical trial, the Company suspended manufacturing activities in June 2022 and disposed of substantially all inventories in July 2022, resulting in a write-down of $1.0 million in its inventories to net realizable value. Such expense is included in restructuring and impairment charges in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The Company tests Goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if a change in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicates that potential impairment exists. Due to a sustained decrease in the Company’s share price during the quarter ended March 31,2023 and June 30, 2023, the Company concluded in accordance with ASC 350, a triggering event occurred indicating that potential impairment exists and required the Company to assess if impairment exists as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. In accordance with ASC 350, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test, which resulted in the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeding the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, indicating that the goodwill of the reporting unit was impaired. The Company utilized a combination of an income and market approach to assess the fair value of the reporting unit as of June 30, 2023. The income approach considered the discounted cash flow model, considering projected future cash flows (including timing and profitability), discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in future cash flows, perpetual growth rate, and projected future economic and market conditions while the guideline public company market approach considered marketplace earnings multiples from within a peer public company group. The Company recorded the impairment charge of $

Note 10. Leases
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 operating lease expense was $
The Company's lease agreements generally do not provide an implicit borrowing rate. Therefore, the Company used a benchmark approach to derive an appropriate imputed discount rate. The Company benchmarked itself against other companies of similar credit ratings and comparable quality and derived an imputed rate, which was used in a portfolio approach to discount its real estate lease liabilities. Management used an estimated incremental borrowing rate of 11.09% for all leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2023.

Note 11. Net Loss per Share
The Company’s outstanding warrants to purchase common stock have participation rights to any dividends that may be declared in the future and are therefore considered to be participating securities. Participating securities have the effect of diluting both basic and diluted earnings per share during periods of income. During periods of loss, no loss is allocated to the participating securities since the holders have no contractual obligation to share in the losses of the Company.

In September 2018, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) which provided for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance-based stock awards and other forms of equity compensation to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants. Stock options granted under the 2018 Plan generally vest one-fourth on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date with the balance vesting monthly over the remaining three years. Restricted stock units granted under the 2018 Plan generally vest one third on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and one sixth every six months thereafter such that the award will be fully vested on the third anniversary of the vesting commencement date. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022,
2020 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan
In March 2020, the Company adopted the 2020 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) for the purpose of attracting, retaining and incentivizing employees in furtherance of the Company’s success. The 2020 Plan was adopted without stockholder approval pursuant to Rule 303A.08 of the New York Stock Exchange. The 2020 Plan is used to offer equity awards as material inducements for new employees to join the Company. Upon adoption of the 2020 Plan,

Adoption of 2023 Equity Incentive Plan
On July 11, 2023, the Company held an Annual Meeting where the Company stockholders approved the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (“2023 Plan”) that authorizes the Company to grant options, restricted stock and other equity-based awards. No issuance of options have been granted under the 2023 Plan.
Note 15. Income Taxes
The following table summarizes the Company’s effective tax rate for the periods indicated:

| ( |
The Company did not record an income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company recorded an income tax expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to minimum state taxes.
In addition, for all periods presented, the pretax losses incurred by the Company received no corresponding tax benefit because the Company concluded that it is not more likely than not that its net deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company will continue to assess its position in future periods to determine if it is appropriate to reduce a portion of its valuation allowance.
The acquisition of Old Catheter was treated as a stock purchase for U.S. tax purposes in the first quarter of 2023. As such, the Company recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities on its U.S. tax attributes. The Company continues to use its deferred tax liabilities as a source of income against a portion of its deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance was recorded for the portion of the deferred tax assets that are not more-likely-than-not to be realized.
As part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA), beginning with the Company's 2022 tax year, the Company is required to capitalize research and development expenses, as defined under Internal Revenue Code section 174. For expenses that are incurred for
Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is at times subject to pending and threatened legal actions. In management’s opinion, any potential loss resulting from the resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.
Note 17. Employee Benefit Plan
In January 2019, the Company established a defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (“401(k) Plan”). Under the terms of the 401(k) Plan, all full-time employees were eligible to make voluntary contributions as a percentage or defined amount of compensation. The Company made matching contributions based on

References to “we”, “us”, “our” and “the Company” refer Catheter Precision, Inc. (formerly known as Ra Medical Systems, Inc.)
Overview
Catheter Precision, Inc. (formerly known as Ra Medical Systems, Inc.) (“Ra Medical), was reincorporated in Delaware in July 2018. The Company was initially formed to develop, commercialize and market its advanced excimer laser-based platform for use in the treatment of vascular and dermatological immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.
On January 9, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Catheter Precision, Inc., (“Old Catheter”), a privately held Delaware corporation pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Old Catheter merged into a wholly owned subsidiary of Ra Medical, in a stock-for-stock and notes payable merger transaction (the “Merger”). We refer to the post-merger combined company as the “Company”. The total purchase consideration for the Merger was $72.5 million which represents the sum of the (i) estimated fair value of the 14,649.591 Series X Convertible Preferred Stock issued and (ii) portion of the estimated fair value of the $3.4 million representing the Company stock options issued as replacement of Cather share-based payment awards.

The Company’s primary business focus now relates to Old Catheter’s historical business and products. Old Catheter’s primary product is the View into Ventricular Onset or VIVOTM, (“VIVO” or “VIVO System”). VIVO is a non-invasive imaging system that offers 3D cardiac mapping to help with localizing the sites of origin of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias in patients with structurally normal hearts prior to electrophysiology studies. The VIVO system has achieved a CE Mark allowing it to be commercialized in the European Union and has been placed at several hospitals in Europe. FDA 510(K) clearance in the United States was received, and the Company began a limited commercial release of VIVO in 2021.
Pre-Merger Operations
The Company owns intellectual property related to an advanced excimer laser-based platform for use in the treatment of vascular immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. The Destruction of Arteriosclerotic Blockages by laser Radiation Ablation, or DABRA, laser and single-use catheter, together referred to as the DABRA Excimer Laser System (“DABRA”) was developed as a tool in the treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease which commonly occurs in the legs. The Company also previously marketed the Pharos laser which was used to treat proliferative skin conditions. The Company completed the sale of its Pharos laser business, or Dermatology Business, to STRATA Skin Sciences, Inc. on August 16, 2021.
As previously reported, the board of directors approved a reduction in force (“RIF”), effective June 6, 2022, under which approximately 65% of Ra Medical’s full-time employees were immediately terminated and provided one-time severance payments totaling approximately $0.6 million. In August and September 2022, an additional 20% of Ra Medical’s employees were terminated and provided one-time severance payments totaling approximately $0.3 million. The purpose of the RIF was to preserve capital with the goal of maximizing the opportunities available to Ra Medical during the board of directors’ review of strategic alternatives.
As a result of the RIF and the board of directors’ review of strategic alternatives, the Company paused all engineering activities in June 2022. On July 5, 2022, the Company announced the receipt of FDA 510(k) clearance for the DABRA 2.0 catheter as part of the DABRA Excimer Laser System. This catheter includes a braided over jacket to make the catheter more robust and more kink-resistant when navigating tortuous anatomy. This catheter also has a six-month shelf life as a result of multiple design and manufacturing remediations implemented to address prior limitations. The Company has ceased marketing the DABRA Excimer Laser System and does not currently intend to commercialize the DABRA 2.0 catheter.
As previously reported, Ra Medical’s strategy was to pursue an atherectomy indication for use, which the FDA defines to include a prespecified improvement in luminal patency. The Company received an Investigational Device Exemption, or IDE, approval in January 2020, and the study was approved for up to 10 clinical sites and 100 subjects. In February 2022, the FDA approved a protocol amendment, raising the enrollment limit from a maximum of 100 subjects to 125 subjects.
On June 6, 2022, Ra Medical ceased enrollment in the atherectomy clinical study at 108 subjects, with the intent to satisfy the FDA’s data requirements to support an atherectomy indication by completing the six-month follow-up by the end of 2022 or early 2023. However, due to the Merger, The Company closed all clinical sites subsequent to the Merger in January 2023, and it has no plans to pursue the atherectomy indication with the FDA.
Post-Merger Operations
Looking forward, we do not expect to use our legacy DABRA-related assets or continue Ra Medical’s legacy lines of business, but instead expect to shift the focus of our operations to Old Catheter’s product lines. Accordingly, our current activities primarily relate to Old Catheter’s historical business, which comprises the design, manufacture and sale of new and innovative medical technologies focused in the field of cardiac electrophysiology, or EP.
Our primary product is the VIVO System. We are focused on the design, market development and usage adoption of our VIVO System by cardiac electrophysiologists to enhance their ability to diagnose and treat cardiac arrhythmias. We have completed development, received regulatory clearance, and initiated sales of the VIVO System in the U.S. and Europe.

Table of Contents |
Our business strategy is to become the leading medical imaging company in the field of cardiac electrophysiology, and we are dedicated to developing and delivering electrophysiology products to provide patients, hospitals, and physicians with novel technologies and solutions to improve the lives of patients with cardiac arrhythmias. We aim to establish VIVO as an integral tool used by cardiac electrophysiologists during ablation treatment of ventricular arrhythmias by reducing procedure time and patient complications and increasing procedural success.
We have received United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance to market and promote the VIVO System in the United States as a pre-procedure planning tool for patients with structurally normal hearts undergoing ablation treatment for idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias. VIVO allows for the acquisition, analysis, display and storage of cardiac electrophysiological data and maps for analysis by a physician. We began a limited commercial launch of VIVO in 2021 and to date, VIVO has been utilized in more than 850 procedures in the U.S. and EU by over 30 physicians, with no reported device-related complications.
We have been cleared to label the VIVO System with the CE Mark in the EU and certain other countries The CE Mark designation, which affirms the product’s conformity with European health, safety, and environmental protection standards, allows us to market that product in countries that are members of the EU and the European Free Trade Association. Catheter has commenced limited sales of the VIVO System in Europe and the UK through independent distributors. Catheter’s international distributors are supported by two EU based full time consultants.
In addition, our LockeT, a suture retention device, is a sterile, Class I product that was registered with the FDA in February 2023, at which time we began initial shipments to distributors. LockeT is indicated for wound healing by distributing suture tension over a larger area in the patient in conjunction with a figure of eight suture closure, and it is intended to temporarily secure sutures and aid clinicians in locating and removing sutures efficiently.
Clinical studies for LockeT began during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. These studies are planned to show the product’s effectiveness and benefits, including faster wound closure, earlier ambulation, potentially leading to early hospital discharge, and cost analysis. This data is intended to provide crucial data for marketing and to expand our indications for use with the FDA.
Prior to 2018, Old Catheter marketed the AMIGO® Remote Catheter System (the “AMIGO” or “AMIGO System”), which provides for accurate positioning, manipulation, and stable control of catheters for use by electrophysiologists in the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal heart rhythms known as cardiac arrhythmias. AMIGO was designed for use during the ablation procedure, to allow the physician to remotely navigate standard commercially available catheters, with stability and precision, and maintains catheter locations within the heart while decreasing radiation exposure and avoiding long periods standing bedside in heavy protective lead aprons. AMIGO has been used in over 2,000 procedures in the U.S. and Europe and has been well received by leading experts in the field of EP. We own the intellectual property related to AMIGO, and this product is under consideration for future research and development of a generation 2 product.
Recent Developments
Settlement Agreements with the Department of Justice and Participating States
On December 28, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the U.S., acting through the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and on behalf of the Office of Inspector General, and other settlement agreements with certain state attorneys general (collectively the “Settlement Agreements”), to resolve investigations and a related civil action concerning its marketing of the DABRA laser system and DABRA-related remuneration to certain physicians. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreements, if the Company was acquired or was otherwise involved in a change in control transaction (as defined in the Settlement Agreements) before the end of 2024, the Company was required to pay a settlement amount of $5.0 million. As a result of the Merger, the Company made payments of $4.7 million and $0.3 million to the DOJ and participating states, respectively, in February 2023. Such amounts were included in accrued expenses in the balance sheet at December 31, 2022.

Warrant Inducement Offer
On January 9, 2023, we reduced the exercise price of certain existing warrants, or the Existing Warrants, exercisable for 331,608 shares of Ra Medical common stock held by a certain investor (the “Investor”), with exercise prices ranging from $14.00 to $526.50 per share to $4.00 per share, or the Warrant Repricing. In connection with the Warrant Repricing, we entered into a warrant inducement offer letter, or the Inducement Letter, with the Investor pursuant to which it would exercise up to all of the 331,608 Existing Warrants, or the Inducement Offer. In consideration for exercising the Existing Warrants pursuant to the terms of the Inducement Letter, we received approximately $1.3 million in gross proceeds. We paid the placement agent aggregate cash fees of approximately $0.2 million related to the Inducement Offer which represented 8.0% of the gross proceeds received from the Inducement Offer plus other offering costs. In consideration for exercising the Existing Warrants pursuant to the terms of the Inducement Letter, we issued the Investor a new Series E common stock purchase warrant, or Series E Warrant, to purchase 331,608 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. The Series E Warrant is exercisable for five years from the date of stockholder approval. Exercise of the Series E Warrant in full was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the special Stockholders’ Meeting held on March 21, 2023. The incremental fair value of the repriced warrants amounted to $0.3 million and the fair value of Series E warrant totaled $1.9 million. The relative fair values of such amounts were recorded to additional paid-in capital concurrent with the exercise of the Existing Warrants.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On January 9, 2023, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) for a private placement (the “Private Placement”) with the Investor. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Investor agreed to purchase, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $8.0 million, (a) Class A Units at a price that was the lower of $3.00 per unit and 90% of the 5 day volume weighted average price of our common stock immediately prior to obtainment of the approval of the Company’s stockholders of conversion of the PIPE Preferred Stock and PIPE Warrants (as each are defined below), each consisting of one share of common stock, one Series F Common Stock Purchase Warrant, or Series F Warrant, and one Series G Common Stock Purchase Warrant, or Series G Warrant, and together with the Series F Warrant the PIPE Warrants, and (b) Class B Units at a price of $1,000 per unit, each consisting of one share of a new series of the Company’s preferred stock, designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001, or the PIPE Preferred Stock, and one Series F Warrant and one Series G Warrant for each share of the Company’s common stock underlying the PIPE Preferred Stock, each share of which is convertible into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to $1,000 divided by the lower of $3.00 and 90% of the 5 day volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the obtainment of the approval of the Company’s stockholders of conversion of the PIPE Preferred Stock and PIPE Warrants, or the Preferred Conversion Rate. The closing under the Securities Purchase Agreement and the sale and issuance of the Class A Units and Class B Units (and the issuance of any underlying common stock) was approved at the special Stockholders’ Meeting held March 21, 2023. At the closing of the Private Placement, we issued 497,908 Class A Units for proceeds of approximately $0.9 million and 4,501,060 Class B Units for proceeds of approximately $7.1 million.
The PIPE Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustments as provided under the terms of the PIPE Warrants. The PIPE Warrants are exercisable at any time on or after the closing date of the Private Placement until the expiration thereof, except that the PIPE Warrants cannot be exercised if, after giving effect thereto, the purchaser would beneficially own more than 4.99%, or the Maximum Percentage, of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, which Maximum Percentage may be increased or decreased by the purchaser with written notice to the Company to any other percentage specified not in excess of 9.99%. The Series F Warrants have a term of two years from the date of stockholder approval, and the Series G Warrants have a term of six years from the date of stockholder approval. Stockholder approval of the Series F Warrants and Series G Warrants was obtained at the special Stockholders’ Meeting held on March 21, 2023.
Shares of PIPE Preferred Stock, the conversion of which was approved at the special Stockholders’ Meeting held on March 21, 2023, convert into common stock at the option of the holder at the Preferred Conversion Rate, subject to certain ownership limitations as described below. The conversion price is subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares and similar recapitalization transactions.
Subject to limited exceptions, holders of shares of PIPE Preferred Stock will not have the right to convert any portion of their Preferred Stock if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to its conversion.

Holders of PIPE Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends on shares of PIPE Preferred Stock equal, on an as-if-converted-to-common stock basis, and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the common stock. Except as otherwise required by law, the PIPE Preferred Stock does not have voting rights. However, as long as any shares of PIPE Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company will not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the PIPE Preferred Stock, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the PIPE Preferred Stock, (b) alter or amend the Certificate of Designation for the PIPE Preferred Stock, (c) amend its certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of PIPE Preferred Stock, (d) increase the number of authorized shares of PIPE Preferred Stock, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. The PIPE Preferred Stock does not have a preference upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company. The holders of PIPE Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Company the same amount that a holder of the Company’s common stock would receive if the PIPE Preferred Stock were fully converted (disregarding for such purposes any conversion limitations) to the Company’s common stock, which amounts will be paid pari passu with all holders of the Company’s common stock.
The Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the purchasers requiring the Company to register the resale of the shares of its common stock, the shares issuable upon exercise of the PIPE Warrants and the shares issuable upon the conversion of the PIPE Preferred Stock. This registration statement was declared effective in April 2023.
We intend to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement to advance the development and commercialization of our novel electrophysiology technologies and solutions and to support general corporate purposes.
Conversion of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock
On March 21, 2023, we held a special meeting of stockholders, or Stockholders’ Meeting, at which the stockholders approved, among other things, the issuance of 1,974,905 shares of our common stock upon the conversion of 1,974.905 of our Series X Convertible Preferred Stock which were issued upon the closing of the Merger. The remaining 12,674.687 shares of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock are expected to remain outstanding until at least July 9, 2024 and will convert thereafter into up to 12,674,687 shares of common stock, only if we meet the initial listing standards of the NYSE American or another national securities exchange or are delisted from the NYSE American.
Issuance of Securities in Private Placement
On July 5, 2023 the Company issued 1,093,552 shares of its common stock in connection with the conversion of 1,750 shares of its outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The shares were issued in connection with two separate conversions of 875 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into 546,776 shares of common stock that occurred on July 3, 2023. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into approximately 625 shares of common stock. The common stock was issued pursuant to the exemption contained in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), which applies to transactions in which a security is exchanged by an issuer with its existing security holders exclusively where no commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange. The shares issued have been registered for resale on an effective registration statement on Form S-3.

Adoption of 2023 Equity Incentive Plan
On July 11, 2023, we held an Annual Meeting where the our stockholders approved the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (“2023 Plan”) that authorizes us to grant options, restricted stock and other equity-based awards. No issuance of options have been granted under the 2023 Plan.
Components of our Results of Operations
Revenues
Product sales revenues prior to the Merger consisted of sales of catheters for use with the DABRA laser in our atherectomy clinical trials.
After the Merger, our legacy DABRA laser is no longer in use and we have shifted the focus of our operations to Old Catheter’s product lines. Accordingly, our current activities primarily relate to Old Catheter’s historical business which comprises the design, manufacture and sale of new and innovative medical technologies focused in the field of cardiac electrophysiology, or EP.
Our revenues post-Merger primarily consist of the VIVO which is a non-invasive imaging system that offers 3D cardiac mapping to help with localizing the sites of origin of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias in patients with structurally normal hearts prior to EP procedures. In addition to the VIVO System, customers are provided with VIVO Positioning Patch Sets, which are custom patches, that are used in conjunction with the VIVO System to complete the intended output of the VIVO System. The delivery of the VIVO System, including the VIVO Positioning Patch Sets represents the Company’s primary performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue upon the delivery of the VIVO system. The Company also provides customers with the option to pay for software upgrades in advance at the time of the contract's inception. Software upgrades are stand-ready services, whereby the Company will provide software upgrade services to the customer when and as upgrades are available. Terms of the period covered by the payment of software upgrades in advance can range from one year to multiple years. Customers have the option to renew terms covered by software upgrades at the end of each term. The stand-ready software upgrades represent the Company's second separate performance obligation and revenue is recognized over the term of the period.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues for product sales consisted primarily of costs of components for use in our products, the labor used to produce our products, and the manufacturing overhead that supports production.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist of employee-related costs, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expenses. Other SG&A expenses include amortization of intangible assets and accretion of royalties payable acquired in the Merger, professional services fees, including legal, audit and tax fees, insurance costs, general corporate expenses and facility-related expenses.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses are expensed as incurred and include the following: product development, certain employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and an allocated portion of stock-based compensation expense; cost of clinical studies to support new products and product enhancements, including expanded indications; supplies used for internal R&D and clinical activities; and cost of outside consultants who assist with technology development and clinical affairs.

Revenues
The increase in revenues of approximately $133 thousand and $300 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year was due to product sales of the VIVO system, as a result of the merger that took place in January 2023. We had no revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to the decision to cease Legacy Ra Medical manufacturing activities in June 2022.
Cost of Revenues
The increase in cost of revenues of $6 thousand for the three months ended September 30,2023 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year is due to the discontinuation of manufacturing activities in June 2022 and the addition of the cost of sales of the VIVO system in 2023. The decrease in cost in cost of revenues of $138 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year was due to the cost of sales of the VIVO system, as a result of the merger that took place in January 2023, which were substantially lower than the cost of revenues for the Ra Medical legacy products during the comparable prior year periods, which legacy products have been discontinued.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The decrease in SG&A of approximately $769 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was due primarily to a decrease of $1,395 thousand in professional fees, $243 thousand in insurance expense, $168 thousand in investor relations and SEC fees, and $83 thousand in stock-based compensation. Additionally, SG&A increased by $520 thousand in depreciation and amortization expense from intangible assets and royalties payable that was associated with the Merger, $445 thousand in salaries and benefits primarily due to the RIF and $155 thousand in other SG&A expense.
The increase in SG&A of approximately $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was due primarily to the increase in professional fees of approximately $1.7 million, which was incurred in connection with the Merger, and increase in salaries and benefits of $2.5 million of which $1.8 million related to the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, an increase in stock based compensation of approximately $0.9 million, which was related to the one time stock compensation for Old Catheter stock options assume in the Merger. Additionally, SG&A increased as a result of an increase in depreciation and amortization of approximately $1.5 million that resulted from intangible assets acquired assumed in the Merger, and increase in other selling, general and administrative expenses of $0.7 million, and was partially offset by investor relations and SEC fees of $0.4 million and insurance expense of $0.8 million.
Research and Development Expenses
The decrease in R&D expenses of approximately $615 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in R&D salaries and benefits expenses of approximately $278 thousand, a decrease in R&D facilities allocation expenses of $179 thousand, a decrease in R&D professional fees of $55 thousand, a decrease in R&D supplies and materials of $34 thousand and a decrease in clinical study costs of $89 thousand as a result of the Merger. In addition, there was an increase of $20 thousand in other R&D costs.
The decrease in R&D expenses of approximately $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in R&D salaries and benefits expenses of approximately $3.3 million, a decrease in R&D facilities allocation expenses of $0.5 million, a decrease in R&D professional fees of $0.5 million, a decrease in R&D supplies and materials of $0.7 million, a decrease in clinical study costs of $0.5 million and other R&D costs of $0.3 million as a result of the Merger and the discontinuation of the Ra Medical legacy business.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges
In accordance with ASC Topic 805-10-25-15, the acquirer in a business combination has a period of time, referred to as the measurement period, to finalize the accounting for a business combination. The measurement period provides companies with a reasonable period of time to determine the value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and the consideration transferred for the acquiree. In accordance with ASC Topic 805-10-25-14, the measurement period ends when the acquirer receives all necessary information about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date for the provisional amounts (or otherwise learns that more information is not obtainable); however, the measurement period cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date.
We utilized a combination of an income and market approach to assess the fair value of the reporting unit as of June 30, 2023. The income approach considered the discounted cash flow model, considering projected future cash flows (including timing and profitability), discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in future cash flows, perpetual growth rate, and projected future economic and market conditions while the guideline public company market approach considered marketplace earnings multiples from within a peer public company group. We recorded the impairment charge of $60.9 million within Loss on impairment of goodwill in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2023, cumulative goodwill impairment charges of $60.9 million were incurred related to our single reporting unit.
Due to a sustained decrease in our share price during the three months ended March 31, 2023, we concluded that in accordance with ASC 350 a triggering event occurred indicating that potential impairment exists that required us to assess if impairment existed as of March 31, 2023. In accordance with ASC 350, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test, which resulted in the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeding the fair value of the reporting unit, indicating that the goodwill of the reporting unit was impaired. We recorded an impairment charge of $56.1 million related to goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Also, in accordance with ASC 350, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, we also performed quantitative goodwill impairment test due to us recording measurement period purchase accounting adjustments. We recorded an additional $4.8 million as impairment charges to goodwill. We utilized a combination of an income and market approach to assess the fair value of the reporting unit as of March 31, 2023 and June 30,2023. The income approach considered the discounted cash flow model, considering projected future cash flows (including timing and profitability), discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in future cash flows, perpetual growth rate, and projected future economic and market conditions while the guideline public company market approach considered marketplace earnings multiples from within a peer public company group. We recorded the impairment charge of $60.9 million within loss on impairment of goodwill in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2023, cumulative goodwill impairment charges of $60.9 million were incurred related to our single reporting unit.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, restructuring and impairment charges of $0.5 million and $4.0 million represent the expenses incurred in September 2022 due to the RIF, resulting in one-time severance payments, and our decision to discontinue enrollment of patients in our clinical trial, cease manufacturing activities, sell or dispose of substantially all of our property and equipment, inventories and R&D supplies, resulting in impairment of property and equipment, inventory obsolescence charges and the write-off of R&D supplies.
Change in fair value of royalties payable
As of the date of the Merger, the royalties payable was calculated using a discounted cash flow method utilizing a discount rate of 24.1%. At each reporting period, the fair value of the royalties payable is calculated using the discounted cash flow method. At September 30, 2023, the discount rate was 31.0%, resulting in a change in fair value of royalties payable of an increase of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and a decrease of $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. There were no royalties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Other income, net
The increase in other income, net of approximately $67 thousand and $246 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year was primarily due to an increase in interest income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.6 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $275.0 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used from operating activities was approximately $18.7 million. We have incurred recurring net losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception.
We expect operating losses and negative cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future as we invest in our commercial capabilities. Additional costs associated with the Merger paid during the year ended December 31, 2022 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 have substantially depleted our cash. Following the Merger with Old Catheter, we further reduced staff and other costs while assuming the operating costs of Old Catheter. Of the Company’s cash flows used in operating activities of $18.7 million, much of these cash outflows are related to the Merger and are non-recurring in nature. Specifically, we paid approximately $5.0 million in settlement costs that had been accrued as of December 31, 2022. See Note 8, Accrued Expenses. We will continue to monitor our operating costs and seek to reduce our current liabilities. Such actions may impair our ability to proceed with certain strategic activities, and we may be unsuccessful at negotiating existing liabilities to the Company’s benefit. In January 2023, we raised gross proceeds of $1.3 million from a Warrant Repricing and, in March 2023, we completed a Private Placement and raised gross proceeds of $8.0 million. See Note 12, Equity Offerings, of our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. If expected revenues are not adequate to fund our planned expenditures, or we are unsuccessful at raising cash through future capital transactions, we may be required to reduce our spending rate to align with expected revenue levels and cash reserves, although there can be no guarantee that we will be successful in doing so. Accordingly, we will likely be required to raise additional cash through debt or equity transactions. We may not be able to secure financing in a timely manner or on favorable terms, if at all.
As a result of these factors, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date of the financial statements are issued. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company’s Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The information set forth below relates to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates. The discussion and analysis of our financial position and results of operations is based on our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe certain of our accounting policies are critical to understanding our financial position and results of operations.
Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We regularly evaluate estimates and assumptions related to business combinations, including the determination of the purchase price and related allocations to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, provisions for legal contingencies, income taxes, deferred income tax, asset valuation allowances, valuation of warrant liabilities, share based compensation and revenues. Our estimates are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material.
We believe the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805-10, Business Combinations (“ASC 805-10”), which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including non-controlling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. These values have currently been prepared based on preliminary estimates of the fair value of the consideration paid, assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may occur and these differences could be material. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred.

Accounting for Long-Lived Assets-Useful Lives
Intangible assets acquired from business combinations are initially measured at their estimated fair values and are then amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Management evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining useful life or carrying value of the amortizing intangible should be revised and adjusted, if necessary. Should the sum of the undiscounted expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value, the Company would recognize an impairment loss at that date.
Goodwill
Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price of Old Catheter over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. We review goodwill for possible impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
To determine whether goodwill is impaired, annually or more frequently if needed, the Company performs a multi-step impairment test. The Company first has the option to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. The Company may also elect to skip the qualitative testing and proceed directly to the quantitative testing. When performing quantitative testing, the Company first estimates the fair values of its reporting units using a combination of an income and market approach. To determine fair values, the Company is required to make assumptions about a wide variety of internal and external factors. Significant assumptions used in the impairment analysis include financial projections of free cash flow (including significant assumptions about operations including the rate of future revenue growth, capital requirements, and income taxes), long-term growth rates for determining terminal value and discount rates. Comparative market multiples are used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow test. These assumptions require significant judgement. Pursuant to ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, the single step is to determine the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and compare it to the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill. To the extent the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied goodwill, the difference is the amount of the goodwill impairment. The Company also completes a reconciliation between the implied equity valuation prepared and the Company’s market capitalization. The majority of the inputs used in the discounted cash flow model are unobservable and thus are considered to be Level 3 inputs. The inputs for the market capitalization calculation are considered Level 1 inputs.
Research and Development Expenses
We make estimates of our accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date in our condensed consolidated financial statements based on facts and circumstances known to us at that time. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from the estimate, we adjust the accrual accordingly. Services related to research and development projects are expensed as research and development costs at the time such costs are incurred.
Clinical Trial Costs and Accruals
We accrue clinical trial costs based on work performed. In determining the amount to accrue, we rely on estimates of total costs incurred based on enrollment, the completion of clinical trials and other events. We follow this method because we believe reasonable dependable estimates of the costs applicable to various stages of a clinical trial can be made. However, the actual costs and timing of clinical trials are highly uncertain, subject to risks and may change depending on a number of factors. Differences between the actual clinical trial costs and the estimated clinical trial costs that we have accrued in any prior period are recognized in the subsequent period in which the actual costs become known. Historically, our estimated accrued expenses have approximated actual expenses incurred; however, material differences could occur in the future.

Table of Contents |
Stock-Based Compensation
We calculate the cost of awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the awards issued to employees, members of our board of directors and nonemployee consultants using the Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model, or Black-Scholes model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rate. The expected term of the options is the estimated period of time until exercise and was determined using the SEC’s safe harbor rules, using an average of vesting and contractual terms, as we did not have sufficient historical experience of similar awards. Expected stock price volatility is based on historical volatilities of certain “guideline” companies, as the Company does not have sufficient historical stock price data. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent term. The estimated fair value of stock-based compensation awards is amortized on a straight-line basis over the relevant vesting period, adjusted for actual forfeitures at the time they occur.
Royalties Payable
We are obligated to pay royalties under various royalty agreements Old Cather had entered into. On January 9, 2023, prior to the consummation of the Merger, Old Catheter entered in an agreement with its Convertible Promissory Noteholders, which substantially consisted of amounts due to David A. Jenkins, previously Old Catheter's Chairman of the Board of Directors prior to the Merger, and, currently, the Company’s Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, to forgive all accrued interest and future interest expense in exchange for a future royalty right. We will pay to the Noteholders a total royalty equal to approximately 12% of net sales of LockeT, commencing upon the first commercial sale, through December 31, 2035.
In addition, Old Catheter had entered into an agreement with the inventor of LockeT in exchange for the assignment and all rights to LockeT, we will pay a 5% royalty on net sales up to $1 million in royalties and then 2% on LockeT net sales if a patent is granted. After $1 million has been paid, and if, and only if, a U.S. patent is granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, then we will continue to pay a royalty at a rate of 2% of LockeT net sales, until total cumulative royalties of $10 million have been paid.
During 2006 and 2007, Old Catheter entered into two investment grant agreements with a non-profit foundation for the purpose of funding the initial development of Old Catheter's AMIGO System. The agreement calls for the payment to the foundation, upon successful commercialization of the AMIGO System.
Jobs Act Accounting Election
An emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption and, therefore, we are not subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Executive Chairman of the Board and interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2023. Our objective in designing our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives of ensuring that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, due to the existence of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting described below, but excluding the Old Catheter material weaknesses discussed below, our interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level. As disclosed in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, for the reasons set forth therein, our interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. In preparation of our financial statements for the period covered by this report, we identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting related to our control environment that existed as of September 30, 2023, as described below.
Specifically, we identified material weaknesses with respect to (1) the lack of designed and operating review controls with respect to oversight of the financial reporting process, (2) errors with respect to the review of work performed by service providers, (3) errors in connection with accounting for the royalty obligation acquired in the merger with Old Catheter, and (4) use of an incorrect discount rate in calculating the fair value of the royalty obligation.
Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management believes that the Financial Statements and related financial information included in this Quarterly Report and in its Quarterly Report for the period ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, fairly present, in all material respects, our balance sheets, statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows as of and for the periods presented.
Remediation Plan
Management is in the process of developing a remediation plan. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until management designs and implements effective controls that operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective. The Company will monitor the effectiveness of its remediation plans and will make changes management determines to be appropriate. Anticipated remediation measures include continuing assessment of the need to expand the Company’s current accounting and financial reporting teams to include individuals with requisite experience to meet the requirements associated with the increasing operations of a publicly traded company, establishment of policies and procedures to ensure full review and sign offs with respect to the inputs sent to third-party service providers as well as the reports and documentation upon the completion of their work prior to any adjustments being made to the financial statements, establishment of policies and procedures related to the review of all contracts the Company enters into to ensure any terms or conditions are evaluated for any accounting required or accounting treatment or disclosure, and establishment of policies and procedures to review the inputs to royalty liability and other fair value calculations as well as the outputs impacting the balance at each reporting period.

Old Catheter
During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, we completed the Merger with Old Catheter. Subsequent to the Old Catheter Merger, we have initiated integration activities and an assessment of Old Catheter’s internal controls. See “Note 3. Business Combination” of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. In accordance with the SEC's published guidance, we have currently excluded Old Catheter’s internal control over financial reporting from our evaluation of disclosure controls because we acquired these operations during the current fiscal year. SEC rules require that we complete our assessment of the internal control over financial reporting of Old Catheter within one year after the date of the acquisition. Following the Merger, the Company is primarily focused on Old Catheter’s business, and Old Catheter’s results of operations represented approximately one hundred percent of the operations of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
As of December 31, 2022, Old Catheter’s management determined that material weaknesses existed with regard to Old Catheter’s internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses were specifically identified in relation to (1) Segregation of Duties, (2) controls surrounding the timing of recognition of revenues, and (3) controls surrounding the determination of the fair value of derivative liabilities.
Management is in the process of implementing remediation procedures to address the control deficiency that led to the Old Catheter material weakness. These remediation activities are ongoing, and management cannot yet assert that these material weaknesses had been remediated as of September 30, 2023. We have taken the following steps associated with the Old Catheter material weaknesses: (1) for segregation of duties, we have hired additional employees, including the Chief Financial Officer, (2) we have begun recording revenue when the product is received, and (3) as a result of the Merger, Old Catheter no longer has the referenced derivative liabilities, so this material weakness is no longer applicable to our current business.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting other than those related to Old Catheter and the Merger with Old Catheter, which include changes necessitated by the change in the Company’s line of business and the remediation of the material weakness with respect to Old Catheter as described above.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Management recognizes that a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Reference is made to the information disclosed under Item 3 — "Legal Proceedings" in the Fiscal 2022 10-K.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report include the risk factors described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, other than as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our filings referenced above. However, we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses could adversely affect our ability to report our results of operations and financial condition accurately and in a timely manner.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our management is likewise required, on a quarterly basis, to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and to disclose any material changes to our internal controls identified through such evaluation. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
As described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, we have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to (1) the lack of designed and operating review controls with respect to oversight of the financial reporting process, (2) errors with respect to the review of work performed by service providers, (3) errors in connection with accounting for the royalty obligation acquired in the merger with Old Catheter, and (4) use of an incorrect discount rate in calculating the fair value of the royalty obligation. As a result of these material weakness, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls were not effective as of March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023. For a discussion of management’s consideration of the material weaknesses described above, see “Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures” included in this Quarterly Report.
As described in Item 4. “Controls and Procedures,” we have concluded that our disclosure controls were not effective as of March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 because material weaknesses existed in our internal control over financial reporting. We are in the process of formulating a plan to remediate the material weaknesses described therein; however, if we are unable to remediate our material weaknesses in a timely manner or we identify additional material weaknesses, we may be unable to provide required financial information in a timely or reliable manner and we may incorrectly report financial information. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our common stock is listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. In such a case, there could be a material adverse effect on our business. The existence of material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect our reputation or investor perceptions of us, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock. In addition, we may incur additional costs to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as described in Item 4. “Controls and Procedures.”
We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weaknesses identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls or otherwise.
