(c)Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include trade credits, rebates, co-payment assistance and sales returns, valuation of inventory, estimated useful life of licensed products, income taxes, stock compensation, and contingencies.

Note 3. Liquidity, Significant Risks and Uncertainties

Liquidity

The Company has experienced significant net losses, and it expects to continue to incur net losses for the near future as it works to increase market acceptance of its gammaCore therapy and general wellness and human performance products. The Company has never been profitable and has incurred net losses and negative cash used in operations in each year since its inception. The Company incurred net losses of $6.2 million and $10.8 million and used cash in its operations of $4.3 million and $9.2 million for thesix months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These conditions raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company has historically funded its operations from the sale of its securities. During thesix months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $9.0 million from such sales and as of June 30, 2024, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $14.2 million (“Cash Position”). The Company therefore believes that the previously disclosed substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern is alleviated.

Based on its current assessment, the Company believes its Cash Position will enable it to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements, as currently planned, for at least the next 12 months from the date the accompanying financial statements are issued. There remain significant risks and uncertainties regarding the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s future capital requirements are difficult to forecast and will depend on many factors that are out of its control. If the Company is unable to achieve its planned operating results or maintain sufficient financial resources, its business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Concentration of Revenue Risks

The Company earns a significant amount of its revenue in the United States from the VA/DoD pursuant to its qualifying contract under the FSS and open market sales to individual VA facilities. For thethree months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the VA/DoD accounted for 74.5% and 58.6% of net sales, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the VA/DoD accounted for 72.9% and 59.8% of net sales, respectively.

For thesix months ended June 30, 2024, Lovell accounted for more than 10% of our VA/DoD net sales. One VA/DoD facility accounted for more than 10% of total VA/DoD net sales during thesix months ended June 30, 2024. No VA/DOD facility accounted for more than 10% of total VA/DoD net sales during thesix months ended June 30, 2023. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, one facility accounted for more than 10% of net sales from the NHS.

Foreign Currency Exchange

The Company has foreign currency exchange risk related to revenue and operating expenses in currencies other than the local currencies in which it operates. The Company is exposed to currency risk from the potential changes in the functional currency values of its assets, liabilities, and cash flows denominated inforeign currencies.

In a concurrent private placement, the Company issued and sold to the Purchaser unregistered warrants to purchase up to 112,500 shares of Common Stock (the “PIPE Warrants” and shares of Common Stock underlying the PIPE Warrants, the “PIPE Warrant Shares”). Each RD Pre-funded Warrant in the Registered Direct Offering was sold together withone-half ofone PIPE Warrant at a combined effective offering price of $6.4925 per share. The PIPE Warrants became exercisable after the date of issuance at a price of $6.43 per share and will expire on June 5, 2029.

In a separate private placement, on May 31, 2024, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with certain institutional and accredited investors and directors of the Company (the “Private Agreements”), which collectively provided for the sale by the Company of (i)438,191 shares of Common Stock (the “Private Shares”), (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Private Pre-funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 770,119 shares of Common Stock and (iii) warrants (the “Private Warrants” and together with the PIPE Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 604,150 shares of Common Stock (the “Private Warrant Shares”).

The Private Warrants will have the same terms as the PIPE Warrants sold to the Purchaser.

The Private Shares were sold at a purchase price of $6.43 per share. The RD Pre-funded Warrants and Private Pre-funded Warrants were sold at a purchase price of $6.43 minus $0.001 per Pre-Funded Warrant, and are exercisable immediately at an exercise price of $0.001 per share.

Due to their nominal exercise price of $0.001 per share,1,608,433 pre-funded warrants are considered common stock equivalents and are included in weighted average shares outstanding in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations as of the applicable purchase date. Stock unit awards, stock options, and warrants (other than the pre-funded warrants) have not been included in the diluted loss per share calculation as their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

Valuation Information for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate thegrant date fair value of each stock option awarded. Effective July 1, 2023, expected volatility was based 100% on the Company's historical common stock volatility. For the period presented below, the expected volatility was based on a composite comprising of 50% of the Company's historical common stock volatility; the remaining 50% was based on historical volatility of its peers. The risk-free interest rate was based on the average U.S. Treasury rate that most closely resembled the expected life of the related award. The expected term of the award was calculated using the simplified method. No dividend was assumed as the Company does not pay regular dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.

The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model in valuing stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023 are summarized in the table below. No options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Note 14. Contingencies

Stockholders Litigation

On September 26, 2019, and October 31, 2019, purported stockholders of the Company served putative class action lawsuits in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey captionedAllyn Turnofsky vs. electroCore, Inc., et al., Case 3:19-cv-18400, andPriewe vs. electroCore, Inc., et al., Case 1:19-cv-19653, respectively. In addition to the Company, the defendants include present and past directors and officers, and Evercore Group L.L.C., Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., JMP Securities LLC and BTIG, LLC, the underwriters for the initial public offering (IPO). The plaintiffs each seek to represent a class of stockholders who (i) purchased the Company’s common stock in the IPO or whose purchases are traceable to the IPO, or (ii) who purchased common stock between the IPO and September 25, 2019. The complaints each alleged that the defendants violated Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, with respect to (i) the registration statement and related prospectus for the IPO, and (ii) certain post-IPO disclosures filed with the SEC. The complaints sought unspecified compensatory damages, interest, costs and attorneys’ fees. ThePriewe case was voluntarily dismissed on February 19, 2020.

In theTurnofsky case, on November 25, 2019, several plaintiffs and their counsel moved to be selected as lead plaintiff and lead plaintiff’s counsel. On April 24, 2020, the Court granted the motion of Carole Tibbs and the firm Bragar, Eagel & Squire, P.C. On July 17, 2020, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint inTurnofsky. In addition to the prior claims, the amended complaint added an additional director defendant andtwo investors as defendants, and added a claim against the Company and the underwriters for violating Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

On September 15, 2020, the Company and the other defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint for failure to state a claim. On November 6, 2020, the plaintiffs filed their opposition to the motion to dismiss. The Company and the other defendants filed reply papers in support of the motion on December 7, 2020. Argument of the motion to dismiss occurred on June 18, 2021. On August 13, 2021, the Court dismissed the amended complaint with leave to re-plead. On October 4, 2021, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint in theTurnofsky case. The defendants moved to dismiss, and briefing on the motion was complete on January 7, 2022. On July 13, 2023, the court dismissed the second amended complaint with leave to re-plead. The plaintiffs did not file a third amended complaint. On August 23, 2023, the plaintiffs provided the court with an order of dismissal, and the court entered the order on August 24, 2023. On September 8, 2023, plaintiff Carole Tibbs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. The appeal has been docketed as number 23-2655. The principal brief of appellant and appendix were filed on January 5, 2024. The appellees’ brief was filed on February 15, 2024, and the appellant’s reply brief was filed on March 15, 2024. Argument of the motion has not yet been scheduled.

The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend itself in these matters. However, in light of, among other things, the preliminary stage of these litigation matters, the Company is unable to determine the reasonable probability of loss or a range of potential loss. Accordingly, the Company has not established an accrual for potential losses, if any, that could result from any unfavorable outcome, and there can be no assurance that these litigation matters will not result in substantial defense costs and/or judgments or settlements that could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition.

The Company is subject to various claims, complaints and legal actions in the normal course of business from time to time. The Company is not aware of any further currently pending litigation for which it believes the outcome could have a material adverse effect on its operations or financial position. The Company expenses associated legal fees including those relating to the stockholder litigation described in this Note 14 in the period they are incurred.
