In June 2020, we submitted a 510(k) Application to the FDA for our TAEUS Fatty Live Imaging Probe (“FLIP”) System. In February 2022, we announced that we would pursue FDA reclassification and clearance of our TAEUS FLIP System through the FDA’s “de novo” process. We subsequently voluntarily withdrew our 510(k) Application submitted a de novo request for the TAEUS system to the FDA in the third quarter of 2023. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the FDA sent us an Additional Information (“AI”) request related to our de novo application. After we received the AI request, we have had several interactions with the FDA and have provided additional information. In order to fully respond to the FDA’s questions, we will need to compile additional clinical data, provide additional device test data, and respond to cybersecurity related questions in a new de novo submission. We had an in-person pre-submission meeting with the FDA on May 16, 2024. We currently anticipate completing the necessary clinical studies by the fourth quarter of 2024 or first quarter of 2025 and submitting the new de novo request to the FDA in the first half of 2025.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of headcount and consulting costs, and marketing and tradeshow expenses. Currently, our marketing efforts are through our website and attendance of key industry meetings and conferences. In connection with the commercialization of our TAEUS applications, we are building a small sales and marketing team to train and support global ultrasound distributors and expect to execute traditional marketing activities such as promotional materials, electronic media and participation in industry events and conferences. During the quarter, we restructured our European sales operations to better align with the Company’s near-term sales prospects. We expect to add to our sales representation and support headcount for operations in the EU as resources permit in the future, and plan to begin staffing our sales efforts in the United States once we have obtained FDA approval for the sale of the NAFLD TAEUS device in that region.

Additionally, we anticipate continued costs associated with being a public company, including expenses related to services associated with maintaining compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market and SEC requirements, directors and officers insurance, increased legal and accounting costs and investor relations costs.
