Current report
The Company has not generated any product revenue to date. The Company currently generates revenue from contract development and research services by providing such services to governmental agencies, primarily to the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”) and under a contract with the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (“MTEC”).
Current report
Net interest (expense) income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily relates to costs related to the financing relating to the Company’s insurance policies.
Current report
Change in fair value of warrant liability increased by approximately $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the comparable period in 2024. The increase reflects changes in the fair value of the Company’s Public Warrants for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The Company repriced the Public Warrants in November 2024 to an exercise price of $2.75 from $11.50 per share. The Company’s public warrants are classified as liabilities and remeasured to fair value at each reporting period, with changes recognized in net income (loss). As a result, fluctuations in the warrant price may cause significant non-cash gains or losses, leading to volatility in reported net income.
Current report
The new PBS BARDA Contract, executed in September 2023, has a total value of up to approximately $150.0 million if all future options are executed. The base phase of the PBS BARDA Contract, valued at $54.9 million, was exercised concurrently with the contract award in September 2023. To date, our total potential support from BARDA is nearly $272.9 million for our 2013, 2019, and 2023 awards. In April 2023, we received a $4.0 million grant under the MTEC Agreement. In August 2024, the MTEC award was increased to $4.9 million and is currently intended to run through December 2025 with funding dependent on various milestones. See “Research and Development Revenue” above. With the PBS BARDA Contract, the B. Riley Committed Equity Facility Agreement (“CEF Agreement”), funding available through the ELOC, funding available through the SEPA, and the Avenue Financing (as described below) the Company believes it will have sufficient working capital to fund operations for at least one year beyond the release date of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Current report
On March 21, 2025, the Company entered into (i) a Loan and Security Agreement (the “LSA”), by and among the Company, Spectral MD Holdings LLC, Spectral MD, Inc. and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P., a fund of Avenue Capital Group, as administrative agent and collateral agent and as a lender (“Avenue”) and (ii) a Supplement to Loan and Security Agreement (the “Supplement”), by and among the Company, Spectral MD Holdings LLC, Spectral MD, Inc. and Avenue. Pursuant to the LSA and Supplement, the Company has the ability to borrow up to $15.0 million in funding from Avenue with an initial draw down of $8.5 million (such transaction, the “Avenue Financing”).
Current report
The loans under the LSA mature on March 1, 2028, with an interest-only payment period of no less than 15 months, which can be extended to 24 months upon the achievement of certain milestones prior to the end of such 15 month period as described in the Tranche 2 Milestone Date (as defined in the Supplement). The Tranche 2 Commitment (as defined in the Supplement) includes an additional $6.5 million in debt financing and is contingent upon, among other things, (i) U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s clearance of the Company’s DeepView System and (ii) an additional $7.0 million equity raise to be completed by the Company.
Current report
The Avenue Financing also includes warrant coverage equal to 8.5% of the total funding commitment from Avenue, with an exercise price equal to the lower of (i) average of the daily volume weighted average price of Common Stock as reported for each of five (5) consecutive trading days, determined as of the end of the trading on the last trading day before the date of issuance, which was $1.66 and (ii) the lowest price per share paid to the Company by cash investors for Common Stock issued in any sale of Common Stock in a bona-fide equity raising that closes at any time commencing from March 21, 2025 through (but excluding) December 31, 2025.
Current report
On March 21, 2025, as a condition to the Avenue Financing, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with certain investors in the United States and the United Kingdom for the sale of an aggregate of 2,076,923 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an offering price of $1.30 per Share which raised an additional $2.7 million.
Current report
Net cash used in operating activities decreased by approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily driven by decreased staffing levels and consulting costs and expenses resulting from the change in focus to DeepView Burn.
Current report
Net cash provided by financing activities increased to approximately $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This was primarily attributable to proceeds from the Avenue Financing of $8.5 million and the attendant equity raise of $2.7 million partially offset by the loan repayments on the Yorkville debt facility.
Current report
On March 21, 2025, the Company entered into (i) a Loan and Security Agreement (the “LSA”), by and among the Company, Spectral MD Holdings LLC, Spectral MD, Inc. and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P., a fund of Avenue Capital Group, as administrative agent and collateral agent and as a lender (“Avenue”) and (ii) a Supplement to Loan and Security Agreement (the “Supplement”), by and among the Company, Spectral MD Holdings LLC, Spectral MD, Inc. and Avenue.

Current report
The Avenue Financing also includes warrant coverage equal to 8.5% of the total funding commitment from Avenue, with an exercise price equal to the lower of (i) average of the daily volume weighted average price of Common Stock as reported for each of five (5) consecutive trading days, determined as of the end of the trading on the last trading day before the date of issuance, which was $1.66 and (ii) the lowest price per share paid to the Company by cash investors for Common Stock issued in any sale of Common Stock in a bona-fide equity raising that closes at any time commencing from March 21, 2025 through (but excluding) December 31, 2025.
Current report
On October 1, 2024, the Spectral IP Note was amended to (i) reduce the annual interest rate from 8% to 4%, (ii) extend the term of the Spectral IP Note through the second anniversary of the issuance date, March 18, 2026, (iii) include a conversion feature at the option of either the holder or Spectral IP to convert the then outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest into shares of the Company at any time (into such number of shares calculated by taking a five percent (5.00%) discount to the closing price of the Common Stock on the day prior to the date of notice to the Company of the exercise of the conversion right) and at maturity, respectively, and (iv) provide for registration rights of any shares of the Company issued in satisfaction of the outstanding obligations. The holder of the Spectral IP Note exercised a number of conversion rights throughout the fourth quarter of 2024 for the full conversion of the Spectral IP Note in exchange for a total of 540,996 shares of the Common Stock, which represents a 5.00% discount to the closing price of the Company’s shares of Common Stock on the day prior to the date of notice of the holder’s exercise of its conversion right. There were no outstanding obligations due and owing under the Spectral IP Note as of March 31, 2025.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Current report
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include interest rate, foreign exchange, credit and inflation risks.
Current report
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Current report
We maintain a large amount of our assets in cash. Our cash is held primarily in cash deposits. The fair value of our cash would not be significantly affected by either an increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of these instruments. Additionally, changes to interest rates will impact on the cost of any future borrowings. With respect to our current borrowings, the interest rates on the notes are Prime plus 5.25%. Changes in prevailing interest rates could have a material impact on our results of operations.
Current report
Foreign Currency Risk
Current report
Our revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars. Our expenses are generally denominated in the currencies in which our operations are located, which is primarily in the United States and United Kingdom, with an insignificant portion of expenses incurred in our wholly owned subsidiaries in the UK and denominated in British pound sterling.
Current report
Credit Risk
Current report
Financial instruments that subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The vast majority of our cash is held in U.S. financial institutions which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. We have not recognized any losses from credit risks on such accounts. We believe we are not exposed to significant credit risk on cash.
Current report
Additional credit risk is related to our concentration of receivables and revenues. One customer (which is a U.S. government agency) represents the majority of our research and development revenue and accounts receivable.
Current report
Inflation Risk
Current report
If the cost of our products, employee costs, or other costs continue to be subject to significant inflationary pressures, such inflationary pressure may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expense. As a result, our inability to quickly respond to inflation could harm our cash flows and results of operations in the future.

Previous report
In the case of DFUs, our DeepView® System provides an assessment in seconds as to the non-healing portions of a DFU. The non-healing assessment could provide the physician with an objective assessment to use an advanced wound care therapy on “Day One” as opposed to the current approach that involves waiting up to 30 days to see how the wound develops before making such clinical assessment.
Previous report
In September 2023, we executed our third contract with BARDA for a multi-year Project BioShield (“PBS”) agreement, valued at up to approximately $150.0 million (the “PBS BARDA Contract”). This multi-year contract includes an initial award of nearly $54.9 million to support the clinical validation and FDA clearance of DeepView® for commercial marketing and distribution purposes, which we expect to continue through the first quarter of 2026. This contract funding is non-dilutive to our shareholders, and we believe it validates the important nature of our mission and technology.
Previous report
On September 11, 2023, we consummated a business combination, pursuantto the business combination agreement dated April 11, 2023 by and among the Company (previously, Rosecliff Acquisition Corp I (“Rosecliff”)), Ghost Merger Sub I (a wholly owned subsidiary of Rosecliff), Ghost Merger Sub II (a wholly owned subsidiary of Rosecliff) and Spectral MD Holdings, Ltd. (“Legacy Spectral”). Upon the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), in sequential order: (a) Ghost Merger Sub I merged with and into Legacy Spectral, with Legacy Spectral continuing as the surviving company as our wholly owned subsidiary (the “Spectral Merger”) and then, (b) Legacy Spectral merged with and into Ghost Merger Sub II (the “SPAC Merger”, together with the Spectral Merger (the “Business Combination”)), with Ghost Merger Sub II (renamed Spectral MD Holdings LLC) surviving the SPAC Merger as our direct wholly-owned subsidiary. Upon the Closing, we changed our name from Rosecliff Acquisition Corp I to Spectral AI, Inc. In addition to our Common Stock, we currently have 8,433,333 redeemable warrants (the “Public Warrants”) and 73,978 warrants (“SP Angel Warrants”) to SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP remaining outstanding.
Previous report
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, Rosecliff, which is the legal acquirer, has been treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes and the Company has been treated as the accounting acquirer. This determination was primarily based on the following:
Previous report
Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which Legacy Spectral issued stock for the net assets of Rosecliff prior to the Closing. Upon the Closing, the net assets of Rosecliff are stated at fair value, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. All historical financial information presented in the consolidated financial statements represents the accounts of Legacy Spectral at their historical cost as if Legacy Spectral is the predecessor to the Company. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Spectral AI has continued as an SEC-registered and Nasdaq-listed company. The consolidated financial statements following the Closing reflect the results of the Combined Company’s operations.

Net interest (expense) income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily relates to cash interest received or (paid) by us from our deposit accounts.
Previous report
Borrowing related costs increased $1.1 million and $2.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the comparable periods in 2023 due to debt issuance costs and payments of the discount and premium related to the Yorkville Convertible Notes that were expensed during the period.
Previous report
Change in fair value of warrant liability decreased by $0.7 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the comparable periods in 2023. The decrease reflects changes in the fair value of the Public Warrants, which were issued in September 2023.
Previous report
Change in fair value of notes payable increased by approximately $0.1 million and decreased less than $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, which reflects the total change in the fair value of the Yorkville notes issued 2024.
Previous report
Other income (expenses), including transaction costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily relate to legal, professional, and service fees incurred in connection with the Yorkville transaction and B. Riley purchase agreement. Other income (expenses), including transaction costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily relate to non-recurring legal, accounting, and consulting costs expended for the Business Combination.
Previous report
On December 26, 2023, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement and related Registration Rights Agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC (“B. Riley”). Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, in our sole discretion, to sell to B. Riley up to $10.0 million in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “ELOC”).
Previous report
On March 20, 2024, the Company also entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (“Yorkville”) pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Yorkville up to $30.0 million of its shares of Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA. In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Yorkville has agreed to advance to the Company in the form of convertible promissory notes an aggregate principal amount of up to $12.5 million (the “Pre-Paid Advance”), which will be paid in three tranches. The first Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on March 20, 2024 in the amount of $5.0 million with a fixed conversion price of $3.16. The Company received $4.6 million in cash, net of the 8% original issue discount. On May 14, 2024, the shareholders voted to approve the reservation and issuance of shares to Yorkville to exceed the Exchange Cap and the second Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on May 16, 2024 in the amount of $4.6 million, which is the $5.0 million second Pre-Paid Advance net of $0.4 million of the 8% original issue discount, with a fixed conversion price of $2.03. The third Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on July 17, 2024 in the principal amount of $2.5 million. In connection with the execution and delivery of the SEPA, the Company may also drawdown $3.0 million from the ELOC prior to utilizing the SEPA.
Previous report
In September 2023, the Company executed its third contract with BARDA for a multi-year PBS BARDA Contract, valued at up to approximately $150.0 million. This multi-year contract includes an initial award of nearly $54.9 million to support the clinical validation and FDA clearance of DeepView® for commercial development and distribution purposes. The Company completed the second contract with BARDA, referred to as BARDA Burn II, which was signed in July 2019 and completed in November 2023. Under this contract, the Company furthered the DeepView® System design, developed the AI algorithm, and took steps to obtain FDA approval.
Previous report
In April 2023, the Company received a $4.0 million grant under the MTEC Agreement, which wasincreased to $4.9 million in August 2024 and is currently intended to run through December 2025. The MTEC Agreement is for the development of a handheld version of the DeepView® System which is to be used to support military battlefield burn evaluation. The project has three phases, beginning with planning, design and testing; followed by development, design modification and buildout of the handheld device; and then the manufacturing of the handheld device.
Previous report
Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents, together with the PBS BARDA Contract, the MTEC Agreement, the B. Riley ELOC, and the Yorkville Transaction, will be sufficient to fund operations for at least one year beyond the release date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. We have based this determination on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. The Company could utilize cost-savings measures to limit the expenditures of our DFU indication to conserve our working capital and to focus our efforts primarily on the burn indication. Changing circumstances could also cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to raise capital sooner or in greater amounts than currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control. Changes in the current equity markets may also limit our ability to utilize the B. Riley ELOC and Yorkville Transaction as currently structured. To the extent additional capital is necessary, there are no assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital on favorable terms or at all, and therefore we may not be able to execute our business plans and the continued work on indications beyond expanding our burn indication.’
Previous report
Net cash used in operating activities increased by approximately $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily driven by changes in operating liabilities including accrued expenses and deferred revenue, partially offset by a decrease in net loss. The lower net loss is a result of higher research and development revenue due to increased BARDA activity and lower non-operating transaction costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
Previous report
Net cash provided by financing activities increased approximately $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This was primarily attributable to the proceeds of $2.7 million from the ELOC, proceeds of $12.5 received from notes payable principally from the Pre-Paid Advances under the SEPA, partially offset by $6.6 million of repayments of notes payable as compared to proceeds of $3.4 million from the issuance of Common Stock and operating cash received upon closing of the Business Combination of $0.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Previous report
On March 20, 2024, the Company entered into the SEPA with Yorkville pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Yorkville up to $30.0 million of its shares of Company Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA (such transaction, the “Yorkville Transaction”). In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Yorkville has agreed to advance to the Company in the form of convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”) an aggregate principal amount of up to $12.5 million (the “Pre-Paid Advance”), which will be paid in three tranches. The first Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on March 20, 2024 in the amount of $5.0 million with a fixed conversion price of $3.16. The Company received $4.6 million in cash, net of the 8% original issue discount. On May 14, 2024, the shareholders voted to approve the reservation and issuance of shares to Yorkville to exceed the Exchange Cap and the second Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on May 16, 2024 in the amount of $4.6 million, which is the $5.0 million second Pre-Paid Advance net of $0.4 million of the 8% original issue discount, with a fixed conversion price of $2.03. The third Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on July 17, 2024 in the principal amount of $2.5 million with a fixed conversion price equal to 120% of the average VWAP during the three trading days immediately prior to the issuance of the note. The purchase price for the Pre-Paid Advance is 92.0% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of any Pre-Paid Advance at an annual rate equal to 0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the Convertible Notes.
Previous report
Beginning on the forty-fifth (45th) day following the issuance date of the Convertible Note issued in connection with the first Pre-Paid Advance, and continuing on the same day of each successive month thereafter, (each, an “Installment Date”), the Company shall repay a portion of the outstanding balance of the Pre-Paid Advance in an amount equal to (i) $1,750,000, plus (ii) the a payment premium of 7% of such Installment Principal Amount, and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest hereunder as of each Installment Date. The maturity date of the Convertible Notes issue in connection with each Pre-Paid Advance will be 12 months after the issuance date of such Convertible Notes. In October 2024, the Company and Yorkville agreed to amend the dates and the allocation of installment amounts to be paid pursuant to the Pre-Paid Advances, such that the outstanding balance of the Pre-Paid Advances is to be paid by February 2025. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has made aggregate installment payments on the Pre-Paid Advances in the amount of $8.3 million, of which $7.2 million was settled in cash and $2.1 million was settled in shares. Of the aggregate installment payments, $7.1 million relates to the repayment of the principal, $0.6 million relates to the 8% original issue discount and $0.6 million relates to the 7% payment premium.

We are an artificial intelligence (“AI”) company focused on predictive medical diagnostics. We operate in one segment. Currently, we are devoting substantially all of our efforts towards research and development of our DeepView® System, an internally developed multi-spectral imaging device that has previously received FDA breakthrough device designation status for an earlier version. Given our recent receipt of the UKCA mark for burn indication on our DeepView® System, we expect to begin commercialization activities in the United Kingdom in the second half of 2024. Our DeepView® System uses proprietary algorithms to distinguish between damaged and healthy human tissue invisible to the naked eye, providing “Day One” healing assessments. DeepView’s output is specifically engineered to allow the physician to make a more accurate, timely and informed decision regarding the treatment of the patient’s wound. Our focus from 2013 through 2021 was on the burn indication, which we expanded to also include the diabetic foot ulcer (“DFU”) indication in 2022.

For burn wounds, a non-healing assessment could aid the clinician in making an immediate and objective determination for appropriate candidates for surgery, as well as determining what specific areas of the burn wound will require excision and skin grafting. We have conducted three large clinical studies with multiple sites across the United States, enrolling 413 burn patients, including 329 adult and 84 pediatric patients. Through these studies, we were able to quantify the burn assessment accuracy in patients undergoing both surgical and non-surgical treatment. In December 2023 we initiated a pivotal clinical study seeking enrollment of 240 patients, including 180 adult and 60 pediatric patients through multiple sites across the United States in both burn center and emergency departments. By the end of the third quarter of 2024, the Company had completed the enrollment of 169 patients at burn centers, finishing that portion of the overall study.

We have not generated any product revenue to date. We have received substantial support from the U.S. government for our DeepView® System ’s application for burn wounds, particularly fromthe Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”), which is part of the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response in the United States, established to aid in securing the United States from chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats, as well as from pandemic influenza and emerging infectious diseases. We have also received funding from the National Science Foundation (the “NSF”), the National Institute of Health (the “NIH”) and the Defense Health Agency (the “DHA”). Since 2013, we have received approximately $281.0 million in funding awards from government contracts, primarily from BARDA, which accounts for $272.9 million. This has allowed us to develop our technology and further our clinical trials.

We have also received funding from the National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Health and the Defense Health Agency (“DHA”), an agency within the Department of Defense. On September 27, 2023, the Company executed a new contract with BARDA, providing the Company with additional funding of up to $150.0 million, including an initial award of approximately $54.9 million to support the clinical validation and for FDA De Novo submission of our DeepView AI – Burn software. This will include the distribution of up to 30 DeepView Systems in various emergency rooms and burn centers to support the clinical validation study. The contract also includes options, similar to our prior BARDA contracts, with an additional total value of approximately $95.1 million which can be exercised for additional product development, procurement and the expanded deployment of DeepView Systems at emergency rooms, trauma and burn centers. These deployments will enable the Company to conduct health economic and outcome research to support the broader clinical adoption of the DeepView System.
Previous wording
In addition to our PBS BARDA Contract, we received a $4.0 million grant award from the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (“MTEC”) in April 2023, which, building on prior awards from DHA, is to be used to support military battlefield burn evaluation via a handheld version of the DeepView® System (the “MTEC Agreement”). In August 2024, the MTEC award was increased to $4.9 million and is currently intended to run through December 2025 with funding dependent on various milestones. In September 2024, we received an additional $0.9 million from MTEC for further development of the handheld device.

We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following key operating and financial metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends in our business, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions. We believe the operating and financial metrics presented are useful in evaluating our operating performance, as they are similar to measures by our public competitors and are regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors, and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, as it is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net (loss) income, calculated in accordance with GAAP. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information on adopted non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.
