Current report

On January 8, 2025, we received a letter from the Staff indicating the Company’s continued non-compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The letter further informed us that our common stock would be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market unless the Company appeals the Staff’s delisting determination by requesting a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).

Current report

On January 15, 2025, the Company requested a hearing before the Panel to appeal the determination by the Staff, and to present its plan to regain and sustain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The request was granted and a hearing was scheduled for February 20, 2025.

Previous report

Product revenue was $0.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 with a gross margin and gross profit percentage of $0.3 million and 34.1%, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, product revenue was $0.6 million with a gross margin and gross profit percentage of $0.2 million and 38.7%, respectively. The decrease in the gross profit percentage in the current period when compared to the corresponding prior year period was primarily due to an increase in material supply costs. Product revenue consisted of the sale of our Strip/Grid Products, sEEG Products, OneRF Products and Electrode Cable Assembly Products. Cost of product revenue consisted of the manufacturing and materials costs incurred by our third-party contract manufacturer in connection with our Strip/Grid, sEEG Products and OneRF Products, and outside supplier materials costs in connection with the Electrode Cable Assembly Products. In addition, cost of product revenue included royalty fees incurred of approximately $38,000 and $43,000 in connection with our license agreements during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Previous report

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.9 million during each of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The negligible increase in costs during the current three-month period was attributed to higher administrative payroll costs of approximately $0.1 million offset largely by professional service costs which decreased by approximately $0.1 million.

Previous report

Research and development expenses were $4.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $5.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2023. The $1.2 million decrease period over period was attributed to the net reduction in development activities associated with our sEEG Products, Strip/Grid Products and OneRF Products given the commercialization of these products. Activity associated with new technology development partially offset the overall net decrease in research and development costs during the current period. Development activities primarily included salary-related expenses and costs related to consulting services, materials and supplies.

Previous report

Other income, net during the nine months ended June 30, 2023 of $66,000 consisted of $160,000 related primarily to interest income attributed to our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, while outstanding, which was partially offset by an exploit loss of $94,000.

Previous report

Net cash provided by investing activities was $2.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and consisted of maturities of short-term investments in the amount of $4.5 million, offset by purchases of short term investment of $1.5 million, consisting of treasury and corporate notes.

Product revenue consisted of Strip/Grid Products, sEEG Products, OneRF Products and Electrode Cable Assembly Products sales. The cost of product revenue consisted of the manufacturing and materials costs incurred by our third-party contract manufacturers in connection with our Strip/Grid Products, sEEG Products and OneRF Products, and outside supplier materials costs in connection with the Electrode Cable Assembly Products. In addition, cost of product revenue included royalty fees incurred of approximately $38,000 in connection with our license agreements during each of the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Previous wording

Research and development expenses were $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.9 million during for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $0.7 million decrease period over period was attributed to the net reduction in development activities associated with our sEEG Products, Strip/Grid Products and OneRF Products given the commercialization of these products. Activity associated with new technology development partially offset the overall net decrease in research and development costs during the current period. Development activities primarily included salary-related expenses and costs related to consulting services, materials and supplies.

Current wording

Research and development expenses were $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $1.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2023. The $0.3 million decrease period over period was attributed largely to the timing of development of activities, which primarily included salary-related expenses and costs related to consulting services, materials and supplies associated with the development of OneRF Products, depth electrode products and to a lesser extent strip/grid products. Research and development expenses included stock-based compensation of $70,000 and $65,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As of June 30, 2024, our principal source of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents in the aggregate of approximately $1.6 million. While we began to generate revenue in fiscal year 2021 from commercial sales and through milestone and other payments under our collaboration with Zimmer, we expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating and net losses for the foreseeable future until and unless we generate an adequate level of revenue from commercial sales to cover expenses. Our most significant cash requirements relate to the funding of our ongoing product development and commercialization operations. Our additional material cash needs include commitments under operating leases, royalty obligations under our intellectual property licenses with the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (“WARF”) and the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (“Mayo”) as well as other administrative services. See “Funding Requirements” below for more information. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we continue to develop and commercialize our electrode technology and pursue pre-clinical and clinical trials, seek regulatory approvals, manufacture products, market and distribute our OneRF Products, hire additional staff, add operational, financial and management systems and continue to operate as a public company. On August 2, 2024, we closed a private placement of shares of common stock and warrants for total gross proceeds of approximately $2.65 million, and entered into a delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $3.0 million.

For a discussion of potential fee payments under the Zimmer Development Agreement, see “Note 7 — Zimmer Development Agreement” included in our condensed financial statements included in “Part 1, Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Report. Even though we have received regulatory clearance to expand the use of our Evo sEEG electrode technology for up to 30 days, commercial sales of the sEEG electrodes and OneRF Products are expected to take some time to be a significant source of liquidity. Zimmer has exclusive global rights to distribute our strip and grid cortical electrodes, depth electrodes and electrode cable assembly products. Zimmer’s failure to timely develop or commercialize these products would have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. We do not have a distribution partner for the OneRF ablation system at this time, and are continuing to pursue a potential strategic partnership for the OneRF Products.

At June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents in the aggregate of approximately $1.6 million. Management has noted the existence of substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in the report on our financial statements as of and for the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, noting the existence of substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our existing cash and cash equivalents may not be sufficient to fund our operating expenses through at least twelve months from the date of this filing. To continue to fund operations, we will need to secure additional funding through public or private equity or debt financings, through collaborations or partnerships with other companies or other sources. We may not be able to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Any failure to raise capital when needed could compromise our ability to execute on our business plan. If we are unable to raise additional funds, or if our anticipated operating results are not achieved, we believe planned expenditures may need to be reduced in order to extend the time period that existing resources can fund our operations. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital, it may have a material adverse effect on our operations and the development of our technology, or we may have to cease operations altogether.

The development and commercialization of our cortical strip, grid electrode, depth electrode and ablation system technology is subject to numerous uncertainties, and we could use our cash and cash equivalent resources sooner than we expect. Additionally, the process of developing medical devices is costly, and the timing of progress in pre-clinical tests and clinical trials is uncertain. Our ability to successfully transition to profitability will be dependent upon achieving further regulatory approvals and achieving a level of product sales adequate to support our cost structure. We cannot assure you that we will ever be profitable or generate positive cash flow from operating activities.
