We are an innovative health technology business with a mission to revolutionize patient care globally through accessible, affordable, clinically relevant ultra-low-field (“ULF”) magnetic resonance (“MR”) brain imaging. Our Swoop® Portable MR Imaging® System (“Swoop® system”) produces high-quality images at a lower magnetic field strength than conventional magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) scanners. Our Swoop® system is designed to transform brain MR for the patient, the clinician and the provider, and to provide a highly differentiated experience for patients, timely imaging to clinicians, and favorable economics for hospital administrators. The Swoop® system is a portable, ULF MRI device for producing images that display the internal structures of the head where full diagnostic examination is not clinically practical. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis. Healthcare professionals can use the Swoop® system to make effective clinical diagnoses and decisions in various care settings where conventional MRI devices are inaccessible. The easy-to-use interface and portable design of our Swoop® system make it easily and readily accessible anywhere in a hospital, clinic, or patient care site and it does not require any special facilities accommodations nor specialized personnel to operate safely. ULF MR does not expose patients to harmful ionizing radiation and compares favorably in this regard to X-ray computed tomography (“CT”) or positron emission tomography (“PET”).

The Swoop® system is AI-powered and integrates deep learning, a form of AI, for the reconstruction and denoising of T1, T2, and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (“FLAIR”) sequences. The Swoop® system also incorporates deep learning denoising in the diffusion-weighted imaging (“DWI”) sequences for image post-processing. The integration of deep learning does not require any additional steps from the user. As a result, deep learning can enhance the image quality and, consequently, the diagnostic value of images generated at ULF. The algorithms are designed to improve ULF image quality, while reducing the impact of scan artifacts. The images created with these algorithms were validated by expert radiologists. The Swoop® system is used clinically every day as the first mover in the field of portable ULF MRI, and with an install base that continues to expand. The learnings from this field experience have served to improve our software, AI, and denoising algorithms resulting in the image quality and performance improvements of our product over the nine software releases since our initial clearance. As we move forward, we are continuously investing in improving our AI-powered image quality and leveraging each imaging-focused software release to further improve the Swoop® system performance.

In November 2023, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC pursuant to which we registered for sale up to $150 million of any combination of our Class A common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights and/or units from time to time and at prices and on terms that we may determine. Our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 also includes a prospectus (the “Sales Agreement Prospectus”) covering up to an aggregate of $50.0 million in shares of Class A common stock that we may issue and sell from time to time, through B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“B. Riley”) acting as our sales agent, pursuant to the sales agreement that we entered into with B. Riley in November 2023 (the “Sales Agreement”), for our “at-the-market” equity program. We are not obligated to make any sales of Class A common stock under the Sales Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, we had not sold any Class A common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement. As of the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, we are subject to the SEC general instructions of Form S-3 known as the “baby shelf rules.” Under these instructions, the amount of funds we can raise through primary public offerings of securities in any 12-month period using our registration statement on Form S-3 is limited to one-third of the aggregate market value of the shares of our common stock held by non-affiliates. Therefore, we are limited in the amount of proceeds we are able to raise by selling shares of our common stock using our Form S-3, including under the Sales Agreement, until such time as our public float exceeds $75 million. On March 22, 2024, we filed an amendment to the Sales Agreement Prospectus, pursuant to which, as of such date, we may offer and sell shares of our Class A common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $22.8 million from time to time through or to B. Riley.

Through our engagement with the BMGF, we have deployed and continue to deploy the Swoop® system in low-middle income settings without readily-accessible MRI technology. The multiple grants provided by our research partnership with the BMGF, which commenced funding in the spring of 2020, support the deployment of 25 Swoop® system and accessories to investigators. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 25 and 22 Swoop® system units, respectively, were delivered to the BMGF. The ongoing investigation is designed to provide data to validate the potential use of the Swoop® system in measuring the impact of maternal anemia, malnutrition, infection, and birth-related injury. In May 2023, we were awarded an additional 3-year grant from the BMGF to continue to develop a scalable approach to measuring neurodevelopment via ULF brain imaging in neonates, infants, and young children in low-to-middle income countries.
