Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
***(a)Basis of Presentation ***
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In the opinion of management, the Company has made all necessary adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2025. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year, any other interim periods or any future year or period.
***(b)Principles of Consolidation ***
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of electroCore and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
***(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 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 revenue, licensed products and loss contingencies.

Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary are included in the determination of net loss and are included in interest and other income net. Fair values are based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. Interest and dividends on available-for-sale securities are included in Interest and other income. As of September 30, 2025, marketable securities amounted to $5.1 million and consist of U.S. treasury bills. The Company held $8.5 million of marketable securities at December 31, 2024.

The pronouncement is effective for annual filings for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company is still assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard but does not expect it to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
On November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2024-03,Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public companies to disclose, in interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain expenses in the financial statements.

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 prescription (Rx) products and general wellness and human performance products. The Company has never been profitable and has incurred net losses and negative cash used in operations each year since its inception. The Company incurred net losses of $10.9 million and $8.7 million and used cash in its operations of $6.6 million and $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company has historically funded its operations with the proceeds of equity and debt financings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $0.2 million from sales of equity securities pursuant to our Sales Agreement (as defined below) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) and $7.5 million which was advanced by Avenue Opportunities Fund II, L.P. (“Avenue”) pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement (as defined below). As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities totaled $13.2 million (“Cash Position”).
On July 24, 2025, our Form S-3 registration statement (File No. 333-284477), or the 2025 Shelf Registration Statement, was declared effective by the SEC. The 2025 Shelf Registration Statement relates to the potential offering and issuance from time to time of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights, debt securities and units, up to an aggregate amount of $100.0 million. The proposed maximum offering price per unit and the proposed maximum aggregate offering price per class of security in any future offering under the 2025 Shelf Registration Statement will be determined from time to time by us in connection with the issuance by us of the securities registered under the 2025 Shelf Registration Statement. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have $100.0 million remaining for potential issuance under the 2025 Shelf Registration Statement (including $19.8 million under the Sales Agreement (as defined below)). If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or debt securities, either through the sale of securities pursuant to a registration statement or by other means, our existing stockholders may experience dilution, and the new equity or debt securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders.
On November 29, 2024, we entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Wainwright, whereby the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock from time to time having an aggregate offering price of up to $20 million by any method deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering (“ATM”) as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act, or any other method specified in the Sales Agreement.
On August 4, 2025 (the “LSA Closing Date”), we, and our wholly owned subsidiary, NURO, each as borrowers, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”), with Avenue. The Loan and Security Agreement provides for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $12.0 million, $7.5 million of which was advanced on the LSA Closing Date. See “Note 10 – Long-Term Debt” for further information regarding the Loan and Security Agreement, and related transactions.
During the remainder of 2025, we intend to continue to make targeted investments in sales and marketing to continue driving commercial activities. We have historically funded our operations from the sale of our common stock, and most recently the convertible debt financing with Avenue, and may continue to do so through utilization of the at-the-market facility pursuant to the Sales Agreement, or other equity or debt transactions, including a potential $4.5 million under Tranche 2 (as defined below) of the Term Loans (as defined below), pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, subject to customary conditions and achievement by us of certain performance milestones set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company had approximately $19.8 million of common stock remaining available for issuance under the Sales Agreement pursuant to the 2025 Shelf Registration Statement.
The Company’s expected cash requirements for the next 12 months from the date these financial statements are issued and beyond are largely based on the commercial success of its products. Based on its current assessment, the Company believes its cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities, plus the net proceeds from and expected cash flow from operations and access to capital through use of the ATM pursuant to the Sales Agreement, and potential availability under Tranche 2 (as defined below) of the Term Loans (as defined below), 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, including through potential positive cash flow from operations or supplemental access to third-party debt, equity or hybrid capital, 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 United States Department of Veterans Affairs and United State Department of Defense, or VA, pursuant to its qualifying contract under the Federal Supply Schedule, or FSS, and open market sales to individual VA facilities. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, sales to the VA accounted for 69.9% and 72.9% of net sales, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, sales to the VA accounted for 70.6% and 72.9% of net sales, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, Lovell Government Services, or Lovell, accounted for more than 10% of our VA net sales. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, sales associated with no single facility accounted for more than 10% of the total VA net sales. One facility accounted for more than 10% of the total VA net sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, one facility accounted for more than 10% of net sales from the United Kingdom National Health Service (“NHS”).
Foreign Currency Exchange
The Company has foreign currency exchange risks 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 in foreign currencies.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements
Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy:
| ● | Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |

Avenue Loan and Security Agreement
On the LSA Closing Date, the Company and NURO entered into the Loan and Security Agreement with Avenue, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and as lenderfor term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $12 million to be delivered in two tranches (the “Term Loans”). The tranches consist of (i) a term loan advanced to the Company on the LSA Closing Date in an aggregate amount of $7.5 million (“Tranche 1”), and (ii) subject to the achievement of certain performance milestones set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement, a right of the Company to request that Avenue make additional term loan advances to the Company in an aggregate amount of $4.5 million (“Tranche 2”), which right expires on December 31, 2025. The Term Loans mature on August 1, 2029 (the “Maturity Date”).
Subject to certain exceptions, Avenue has the right to convert (the “Conversion Right”) an aggregate amount of up to $2.5 million of the outstanding Loan Amount into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share equal to $8.4625, representing 125% of the lower of (i) the five-day volume-weighted average price of Company’s common stock as calculated on the day prior to the LSA Closing Date, or (ii) the closing price of Company’s common stock on the date prior to the LSA Closing Date ($6.77). Therefore, the Company recorded the borrowings under Tranche 1 as Non-Convertible and Convertible Notes Payable, respectively. In the event the Company elects to prepay the Term Loans in full, the Company shall provide no less than five business days’ prior written notice to Avenue; provided, however, if Avenue has not yet exercised the Conversion Right, the Company shall provide written notice of prepayment at least 10 days in advance of the proposed prepayment date and Avenue shall have the option, with respect to the Conversion Right, to exercise the Conversion Right by delivering written notice to the Company at least two business days in advance of the proposed prepayment date.
The principal balance of the Term Loans bears interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the sum of 5.0% and the prime rate as reported inThe Wall Street Journal, provided that, in the event such prime rate of interest is less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero, and (ii) twelve and one-half percent (12.50%) (the “Interest Rate”). Interest only shall be payable at the Interest Rate during the period following the LSA Closing Date and continuing until the first day of the first full calendar month following the 18 month anniversary of the LSA Closing Date, provided, however, that such period shall be extended for six months if as of the 18 month anniversary of the LSA Closing Date, the Company has achieved certain milestones, as provided in the Supplement to the Loan and Security Agreement dated August 4, 2025, by and among the Company, NURO and Avenue (the “Supplement”); provided, further, however, that the such interest only period shall not exceed 24 months. Thereafter, principal and interest of the Term Loans shall be fully amortized and paid, in equal, monthly principal installments, plus interest at the Interest Rate for such month, through the Maturity Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the Supplement. The Company will pay final payment at a fee of 3.5% of the Loan Amount, due upon the earlier of the Maturity Date or prepayment in full of the Term Loans, which is currently $262,500 based on the borrowing under Tranche 1.
The Company may, at its option at any time, prepay the Term Loans in their entirety by paying the then outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loans, subject to a prepayment fee equal to(i) 3.0% of the principal amount outstanding if the prepayment occurs on or prior to the first anniversary following the LSA Closing Date, (ii) 2.0% of the principal amount outstanding if the prepayment occurs after the first anniversary following the LSA Closing Date, but on or prior to the second anniversary following the LSA Closing Date, and (iii) 1.0% of the principal amount outstanding if the prepayment occurs after the second anniversary following the LSA Closing Date, but on or prior to the Maturity Date.
The Company incurred borrower commitment and legal fees of $1,290,000, which are presented as debt discounts, of which $719,996 was settled in the issuance of company stock (discussed further below). During the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded interest expense of $204,795, which included amortization of debt discount of $53,753. As of September 30, 2025, the interest rate on Tranche 1 is 12.5%.
The Loan and Security Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets in which Avenue is granted a senior secured lien. The Company also grants Avenue a negative pledge on the Company’s intellectual property, subject to limited exceptions, pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement. The Loan and Security Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants by the Company limiting certain additional indebtedness, liens (including a negative pledge on intellectual property and other assets, subject to limited exceptions), guaranties, substantial asset sales, investments and loans, certain corporate changes, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes.
The Loan and Security Agreement provides for events of default customary for term loans of this type, including but not limited to non-payment, breaches or defaults in the performance of covenants, insolvency, bankruptcy and the occurrence of a material adverse effect on the Company.

Avenue Subscription Agreement
In connection with the entry into the Loan and Security Agreement, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) between the Company and Avenue, pursuant to which the Company issued 106,351 shares (the “Subscription Shares”) of the Company’s common stock to Avenue for no additional consideration. The shares were valued at $719,996 based on the Company’s stock price on the LSA Closing Date. The issuance of the Subscription Shares was made in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder, because the offer and sale of such securities does not involve a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC within 60 days of the LSA Closing Date a registration statement on Form S-3, or if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale securities on Form S-3, on another appropriate form of registration statement, registering the resale of the Subscription Shares, and the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the Conversion Right pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement.
The foregoing summary of the Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Subscription Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2025, and is incorporated by reference herein.

**Note 12. Net Loss Per Share **
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. Due to their nominal exercise price of $0.001 per share,883,433 and 1,608,433 pre-funded warrants are considered common stock equivalents during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, 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.
The potential common stock equivalents that have been excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share consist of the following:
| Nine months ended September 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 |

**Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies **
The Company may be a party to various legal proceedings and claims arising out of the ordinary course of its business. Although the final results of all such matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that there are no current proceedings or claims pending against it the ultimate resolution of which would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, should the Company fail to prevail in any legal matter, including the Pulsetto litigation referenced in “Note 19 – Legal Proceedings”, or should several legal matters be resolved against the Company in the same reporting period, such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results and cash flows for that particular period. In all cases, at each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable underASC 450, “Contingencies.” Legal costs are expensed as incurred.
2025 CVR Agreement
On May 1, 2025 (the “NURO Closing Date”), the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of NURO (following consummation of the Merger, the “Surviving Corporation”), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 17, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, NURO, and Nexus Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the NURO Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into NURO, with NURO surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).
Immediately prior to the effective time (the “Effective Time”) of the Merger, the Company entered into a contingent value rights agreement (the “CVR Agreement”) with a rights agent (the “Rights Agent”), pursuant to which the holders (each, a “Holder”) of (i) shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of NURO (the “NURO Common Stock”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) outstanding awards of restricted stock with respect to shares of NURO Common Stock, outstanding at the Effective Time, (iii) NURO restricted stock units outstanding at the Effective Time, (iv) all issued and outstanding shares of NURO’s preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, outstanding at the Effective Time, and (v) each stock option granted by NURO to purchase NURO Common Stock, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, may become entitled to contingent cash payments (each, a “Contingent Payment”) that net of certain transaction expenses, will equal(1) 8% of the Quell Net Sales (as defined in the CVR Agreement) during the first 12-month period after the NURO Closing Date, in an amount up to $500,000 (the “First Quell Net Sales Payment”), but if 8% of the Quell Net Sales during such period is less than $25,000, the First Quell Net Sales Payment shall be zero; (2) 6% of the Quell Net Sales during the second 12-month period after the NURO Closing Date, an amount up to $500,000 minus the amount of the First Quell Net Sales Payment (the “Second Quell Net Sales Payment”), but if 6% of the Quell Net Sales during such second period is less than $25,000, the Second Quell Net Sales Payment shall be zero; (3) the amounts received by the Company after the Effective Time pursuant to any Disposition Agreement (as defined in the CVR Agreement) signed prior to the Effective Time with respect to the disposition of NURO’s DPNCheck® Business; (4) an amount equal to $125,000 less any funds used by the Company as of July 1, 2025 out of a reserve of $250,000 for payment of potential expenses of the Company that were reserved against NURO’s net cash balance (as determined pursuant to the Merger Agreement); and (5) the balance of the funds remaining in the reserve as of May 1, 2027.
In October 2025, after giving effect to a deduction for certain transaction expenses of the Rights Agent, the Company distributed approximately $0.105 per contingent value right to the former holders of common stock of NURO, representing an aggregate distribution of approximately $221,000. In addition, the Company distributed approximately $22,000 to the former holders of NURO restricted stock units and participants in the NURO’s management incentive rights plan, in accordance with the terms of the CVR Agreement.
Under the CVR Agreement, the Rights Agent has, and Holders of at least 20% of the CVRs then-outstanding have, certain rights to audit and enforcement on behalf of all Holders of the CVRs. The Company shall cause NURO to use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate transactions contemplated by any Disposition Agreement, as such efforts are further described in the CVR Agreement.
The CVR Agreement has a term commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the earlier of (a) December 31 of the calendar year in which Company shall have caused to be paid to the Holders pursuant to the terms of the CVR Agreement all Distributions (as defined in the CVR Agreement) with respect to all payments (including any contingent payments) contemplated to be made by the applicable buyer pursuant to any Disposition Agreement, and (b) December 31, 2030.

Note 19. Legal Proceedings
UAB Pulsetto v. electroCore, Inc.
On June 11, 2025, UAB Pulsetto (“Pulsetto”) filed a declaratory judgment action against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, captioned*UAB Pulsetto v. electroCore, Inc., Civ. No. 25-10036 (D.N.J.),*asserting that its non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation product does not infringe the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 11,446,491 (the “491 Patent”).
On July 16, 2025, the Company filed a responsive pleading, answering the complaint and asserting counterclaims, that Pulsetto’s non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation product infringes the ‘491 Patent, as well as the Company’s U.S. Patent Nos. 8,948,873, 9,339,653, 10,874,857, 8,843,210, 9,242,092, 11,623,078, and 10,441,780, as well as claims that Pulsetto’s commercial conduct has infringed and continues to infringe the Company’s Truvaga™ and gammaCore® trademarks, and committed acts of false advertising and unfair competition in violation of state and federal law. On September 5, 2025, Pulsetto requested leave to file a motion to dismiss the Company’s counterclaims for lack or jurisdiction and/or insufficient pleadings. The Company has opposed that request, which has not yet been considered by the trial judge. On September 9, 2025, the court approved a schedule for discovery, and certain proceedings, filings, submissions, motions, reports and conferences. The parties have exchanged initial requests for the production of documents relevant to the dispute.
The Company believes that Pulsetto’s claim is without merit and intends to defend vigorously against it and to pursue vigorously the Company’s patent and non-patent counterclaims against Pulsetto. The Company expenses associated legal fees in the period they are incurred, and in light of, among other things, the preliminary stage of the litigation, the Company is unable to determine the reasonable probability of loss or a range of potential loss or gain or a range of potential gain. Accordingly, the Company has not established an accrual for potential losses or gains, if any, that could result from any unfavorable or favorable outcome, and there can be no assurance that these litigation matters will not result in substantial litigation costs and/or judgments or settlements that could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition.
