Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Helius Medical Technologies, Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2024 (“2023 10-K”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted.
There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies from those described in the 2023 Form 10-K. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the opinion of management, the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments, unless otherwise noted herein, are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
Reverse Stock Split
At the annual meeting of stockholders on May 24, 2023, our stockholders voted to approve a reverse stock split of our outstanding Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) at a ratio in the range of 1-for-10 to 1-for-80 to be determined at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). On August 11, 2023, the Board approved a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Refer to Note 6 for additional information.
All issued and outstanding Common Stock and per share amounts contained in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented. In addition, a proportionate adjustment was made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock. In accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement for the Public Warrants described further in Note 6, the exercise price for these warrants was reset to the volume-weighted average price for thefive days following the Reverse Stock Split. A proportionate adjustment was also made to the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive compensation plans to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock that was created as a result of the Reverse Stock Split was rounded down to the next whole share and stockholders received cash settlement equal to the market value of the fractional share, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing sales price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq on the last trading day before the Reverse Stock Split effective date. The authorized shares and par value of the Common Stock and preferred stock were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
Going Concern Uncertainty
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents of $3.6 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had an operating loss of $3.4 million, and as of March 31, 2024, its accumulated deficit was $162.5 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had $0.1 million of net revenue from the commercial sale of products. The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses and net cash outflows until such time as it generates a level of revenue to support its cost structure. There is no assurance that the Company will achieve profitable operations, and, if achieved, whether it will be sustained on a continued basis. These factors indicate substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are filed. The Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business; no adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.
The Company intends to fund ongoing activities by utilizing its current cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash received from the sale of its PoNS device in the U.S. and Canada and by raising additional capital through equity or debt financings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional capital, the Company may be compelled to reduce the scope of its operations.
Global Economic Conditions
Generally, worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain, particularly due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas, disruptions in the banking system and financial markets and increased inflation. The general economic and capital market conditions both in the United States and worldwide, have been volatile in the past and at times have adversely affected the Company’s access to capital and increased the cost of capital. The capital and credit markets may not be available to support future capital raising activity on favorable terms. If economic conditions decline, the Company’s future cost of equity or debt capital and access to the capital markets could be adversely affected.
Changes in economic conditions, supply chain constraints, logistics challenges, labor shortages, the effects of conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, disruptions in the banking system and financial markets, high levels of inflation and an increase in interest rates have increased costs and have had and may continue to have a negative impact on the Company’s business. Although the Company has taken and may continue to take measures to mitigate these impacts, if these measures are not effective, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity could be materially adversely affected.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

- FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value of an asset or liability considers assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including consideration of non-performance risk. The inputs used to determine fair values are categorized in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include financial instruments for which the fair market value of such instruments may differ from amounts reflected on a historical cost basis. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, financial instruments of the Company consist of cash equivalents, which were comprised of deposits of excess cash in an unrestricted money market savings account and a money market mutual fund. The carrying value of cash equivalents generally approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.
The Company’s derivative liability as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is comprised of warrants issued in connection with the registered public offering completed in August 2022 (“August 2022 Public Offering”) discussed in more detail in Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included our 2023 10-K. The derivative liability is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy and is required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. See Note 6 for further information on the fair value of the derivative liability.
The majority of the Company’s non-financial instruments, which include intangible assets, lease assets, inventories and property and equipment, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur (or at least annually for indefinite-lived intangible assets), a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment. If the Company determines that the non-financial instrument is impaired, the Company would be required to write down the non-financial instrument to its fair value.
- COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS
At-The-Market Offering
On June 23, 2023, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”) to create an at-the-market offering program (“ATM”) under which the Company may offer and sell shares with an aggregate offering price of up to $2.0 million. Roth is entitled to a fixed commission rate equal to up to 3% of the gross proceeds pursuant to the Sales Agreement. As of March 31, 2024,201,211 shares have been sold under the ATM generating net proceeds of $1.8 million.
Series B Preferred Stock
On March 23, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of oneone-thousandth of a share of Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) for each outstanding share of Common Stock held of record on April 3, 2023. The value of the Series B Preferred Stock issued in connection with the stock dividend was immaterial.
The outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will vote together with the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, as a single class, exclusively with respect to a proposal giving the Board of Directors the authority, as it determines appropriate, to implement a reverse stock split within twelve months following the approval of such proposal by the Company’s stockholders as well as any proposal to adjourn any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of voting on the foregoing matters.
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock entitled the holder to 1,000,000 votes per share and each fraction of a share of Series B Preferred Stock had a ratable number of votes. The holder of Series B Preferred Stock, as such, will not be entitled to receive dividends.
At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company held on May 24, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding Common Stock. All shares of Series B Preferred Stock that did not vote in person or by proxy were redeemed in whole by the Company. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock that did vote in person or by proxy will need to request redemption from the Company at a rate of $0.001 per share in cash. As of March 31, 2024, no shareholders of Series B Preferred Stock have requested such redemption.
Warrants
The Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 720,000 shares of Common Stock (“2022 Warrants”) in connection with the August 2022 Public Offering, as more fully described in Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included our 2023 10-K. The 2022 Warrants did not meet the guidance for being classified as an equity instrument due to a potential price reset prompted by a change in an unrelated instrument’s conversion rate or, in the event of a fundamental transaction, settlement rights that differ from those of the underlying common stockholders. Accordingly, the 2022 Warrants are being accounted for as a derivative liability instrument. As a result of the Company’s Reverse Stock Split on August 16, 2023, refer to Note 1, the exercise price on the 2022 Warrants was reset to $6.9135 per share based on the volume-weighted average price for thefive stock trading days immediately following the Reverse Stock Split.
The fair value of the 2022 Warrants as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was determined using both a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses multiple input variables to determine the probability of the occurrence of a price reset or a fundamental transaction and the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table includes the share price and the inputs used to estimate the fair value of the warrants:
| · · · · · · · | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| · March 31, · · December 31, | |||||
| · 2024 · · 2023 | |||||
| Stock price | | $5.83 | | $8.04 | |
| Warrant term (in years) | | 3.36 | | 3.61 | |
| Expected volatility | | 82.10% | 84.10% | ||
| Risk-free interest rate | | 4.37% | 3.96% | ||
| Dividend rate | | 0.00% | 0.00% | ||
The fair value of the derivative liability associated with the 2022 Warrants as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $2.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The change in the fair value of the derivative liability was recognized as a component of nonoperating income (expense) in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. 2022 Warrants were exercised to purchase of 23,400 shares of Common Stock at $6.9135 per share for $162 thousand in net proceeds andno 2022 Warrants were cancelled during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The portion of the derivative liability relating to the exercised warrants of $101 thousand was reclassified into stockholders’ equity based on the fair value on the date of reclassification. The remaining outstanding 2022 Warrants to purchase 603,690 shares of Common Stock are classified as a derivative liability as of March 31, 2024, are exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years following the date of issuance.
On May 9, 2024, in connection with the 2024 Public Offering (as defined below), the exercise price of the 2022 Warrants was repriced again. Refer to Note 11 for additional information.
The Company has outstanding equity-classified warrants to purchase 9,969 shares of Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $819.77, with expiration dates ranging from October 2023 to February 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no equity-classified warrants were exercised or cancelled.
