The foundational part of our business is providing medical devices for neurosurgery applications. Our primary medical device product, the ClearPoint system, is an integrated system comprised of hardware components, disposable components, and intuitive, menu-driven software, which is in commercial use globally. The primary applications for the ClearPoint system are to target and guide the insertion of deep brain stimulation electrodes, biopsy needles, and laser catheters, as well as the infusion of pharmaceuticals into the brain. The ClearPoint system was originally designed for use in an MRI setting. In 2021, we launched the SmartFrame Array Neuro Navigation System and Software, which allow for operating room placement of the ClearPoint system, and in 2024, we released the SmartFrame OR Stereotactic System, which allows for complete procedures to be performed in the operating room. In 2022, we commercialized the ClearPoint Prism Neuro Laser Therapy System as our first therapy product offering. We have exclusive global commercialization rights to the ClearPoint Prism Neuro Laser Therapy System through our Swedish partner, CLS.

Substantially all our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 relates to (i) sales of our ClearPoint system products and related services and (ii) providing services from our customers in the biologics and drug delivery space. We have financed our operations and internal growth primarily through the sale of equity securities and the issuance of notes payable. We have incurred significant losses since our inception in 1998 as we have devoted substantial efforts to research and development. As of June 30, 2024, we had accumulated losses of $181.0 million. We may continue to incur operating losses as we expand our ClearPoint system platform, services to our pharmaceutical and other medical technology customers, and our business generally.

Generating recurring revenue from the sale of products is an important part of our business model for our ClearPoint system. Our product revenue was approximately $4.9 million and $8.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and was primarily related to our ClearPoint system. Our service and other revenue was approximately $2.9 million and $6.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, of which 91% and 93%, respectively, is related to the biologics and drug delivery service line.
Current wording
Generating recurring revenue from the sale of products is an important part of our business model for our ClearPoint system. Our product revenue was approximately $5.5 million and $14.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Our service and other revenue was approximately $2.6 million and $9.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, of which 89% and 92%, respectively, is related to the biologics and drug delivery service line.
Previous wording
Underlying the revenue from sales of products and services to our biologics and drug delivery customers is the number of direct customers and end users of our products and/or services (“Partners”). Our Partners consist of pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic institutions, or customer-sponsored contract research organizations that are developing methods to deliver a wide variety of molecules, genes or proteins to targeted brain tissue or structures that would need to bypass the blood-brain barrier for the treatment of a variety of disorders. This is a novel area in which commercialization must be preceded by FDA-mandated clinical trials, which are expensive and time consuming to conduct, and for which the commercial success is uncertain, pending, in part, on the outcome of those trials. While our revenue from sales of products and services to our biologics and drug delivery customers is indicative of growth, the number of Partner relationships is also of importance as we recognize the possibility that some Partners’ research will reach commercial success, and others may not. To the extent our Partners achieve commercial success, our expectation is that we will share in such success through our Partners’ use of our products and services in their delivery of therapies. At June 30, 2024, we had more than 50 Partners, which is similar to the number of Partners as of the same date in 2023.

Cash activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is summarized as follows:
Previous wording
Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, were $6.5 million, a decrease of $4.2 million from the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a lower net loss of $4.1 million.
Current wording
Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $7.7 million, a decrease of $4.8 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was due to a lower net loss of $3.9 million, and a net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $1.1 million, partially offset by a net decrease in non-cash items of $0.2 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities is primarily due to higher accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset by lower deferred revenue. The change in the non-cash items results primarily from recoveries in the allowance for credit losses, partially offset by higher share-based compensation expense.
