HEARTBEAM, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

HeartBeam, Inc. (“HeartBeam” or “Company”) is a development-stage company specializing in cardiovascular diagnostic technology. The Company was incorporated in 2015 as a Delaware corporation. The Company’s operations are based in Santa Clara, California, and it operates in one segment.

HeartBeam’s initial focus is on timely diagnosis of a heart attack. The Company’s technology provides physicians with complete cardiac diagnostic information for a patient that is outside of a medical institution. The Electrocardiogram (“ECG”) collection device is the size of a credit card. The device sends ECG signals to the patient's smartphone and on to a cloud-based software expert system. Results of the cloud-based analysis are presented to a qualified health care professional for immediate action including, if necessary, a telehealth visit. The Company has validated this novel technology in three clinical studies and is seeking U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance. On August 15, 2022, HeartBeam AIMI was submitted to the FDA for review and the Company is in the process of preparing a 510(K) submission for AIMIGo.

On September 27, 2021, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-2.75 reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 2.75 shares of the Company’s outstanding pre-reverse split common stock were combined and reclassified into one share of common stock. Unless otherwise noted, all share and per share data included in these condensed unaudited financial statements retroactively reflect the 1-for-2.75 reverse stock split.

NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY, GOING CONCERN AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of early stage companies, including dependence on key individuals and products, the difficulties inherent in the development of a commercial market, the potential need to obtain additional capital, competition from larger companies, other technology companies and other technologies.

The Company has incurred losses each year since inception and has experienced negative cash flows from operations in each year since inception. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $18,474,000 and $9,224,000, respectively. Based on current business plan assumptions and the expected cash burn rate, the Company believes that the existing cash is insufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months following the issuance of these condensed unaudited financial statements. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s continued operations will depend on its ability to raise additional capital through various potential sources, such as equity and/or debt financings, strategic relationships and revenue. Revenue is expected following FDA clearance of the Company’s initial two products. Management can provide no assurance that such financing or strategic relationships will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, which would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial statements.

The condensed unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency, a result of coronavirus (“COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. Developments such as social distancing and shelter-in-place directives were effected impacting the Company’s operations. While the restrictions have eased, the risk continues as new variants are being discovered, and although certain changes in telehealth benefits may be favorable to the Company, these disruptions may negatively impact the Company’s results of operations and liquidity beyond 2022.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and in conformity with the instructions on Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results of operations for the periods presented. The interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any subsequent period. The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2022 (“2021 Annual Report”).

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be based on amounts that differ from those estimates.

ACCOUNTING FOR WARRANTS

The Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company accounts for its currently issued warrant instruments in conjunction with the Company’s common stock in permanent equity. These warrants are indexed to the Company’s stock and meet the requirements of equity classification as prescribed under ASC 815. Warrants classified as equity are initially measured at fair value, and subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized so long as the warrants continue to be classified as equity.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company periodically issues stock options and restricted stock awards (“RSU’s”) to employees and non-employees for services. The Company accounts for such grants issued and vesting to employees and non-employees based on ASC 718, whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period.

The Company grants certain option holders the right to early exercise, as of September 30, 2022, 5,124 options remain unvested. These early exercised grants are not considered an expense or included in either shares outstanding or weighted average shares outstanding until vested.

The fair value of stock options on the date of grant is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on key assumptions such as the fair value of common stock, expected volatility and expected term. These estimates require the input of subjective assumptions, including (i) the expected stock price volatility, (ii) the calculation of the expected term of the award, (iii) the risk-free interest rate and (iv) expected dividends. These assumptions are primarily based on historical data, peer company data and the judgment of management regarding future trends and other factors. The Company has estimated the expected term of its employee stock options using the “simplified” method, whereby, the expected term equals the arithmetic average of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the option due to its lack of sufficient historical data. The risk-free interest rates for periods within the expected term of the option are based on the US Treasury securities with a maturity date commensurate with the expected term of the associated award. The Company has never paid and does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the financial statements is reduced by the actual awards forfeited.

Table of contents

Compensation cost for restricted stock awards issued to employees and non-employees is measured using the grant date fair value of the award, and expense is recognized over the service period, adjusted to reflect actual forfeitures.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE

The Company expenses the cost of research and development as incurred. Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of professional services costs associated with the development of cardiovascular technologies and products.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net loss per share excludes the effect of dilution and is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, including stock options and warrants to the extent dilutive. Basic net loss per share was the same as diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 as the inclusion of all potential common shares outstanding would have an anti-dilutive effect.

As of September 30, 2022, the penny warrants issued during 2019 have been excluded from the net loss per common share calculation following treatment of contingently issuable shares as there are circumstances under which these shares would not be issued and therefore not exercisable.

In accordance with ASC 260-10-45-13, exercisable penny options are included in the calculation of weighted average basic and diluted earnings per share. As of September 30, 2022, 173,017 penny options have been included in the calculation of weighted average basic and diluted earnings per share.

The following is a summary of awards outstanding as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, which are not included in the computation of basic and diluted weighted average shares:


	Three and Nine months ended September 30,
		2022	2021

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following management’s discussion and analysis is intended as a review of significant factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed unaudited financial statements and the notes presented herein included in this Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and the other information set forth in the 2021 Form 10-K. When used, the words “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect” and the like, and/or future tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” etc.), or similar expressions, identify certain of these forward-looking statements. In addition to historical information, the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, those set forth below under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere herein, and those identified under Part I, Item 1A of our 2021 Form 10-K. Our actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed herein and any other periodic reports filed and to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

We are a medical technology company primarily focusing on telemedicine solutions that enable the detection and monitoring of cardiac disease outside a healthcare facility setting. Our aim is to deliver innovative, remote diagnostic and monitoring technologies that can be used for patients anywhere, with initial offerings for ambulatory and emergency room use. Our products require Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance and have not been cleared for marketing (hereinafter “Product” or “Products”.) We believe our Products and services will benefit many stakeholders, including patients, healthcare providers, and healthcare payors. Our initial focus is providing diagnostic data to help physicians with care management of patients with cardiovascular disease. There are two major markets for our initial Products: remote patient monitoring (“RPM”) and the hospital Emergency Department (“ED”). We are developing Generation 1 of our telehealth product (“HeartBeam AIMIGoTM” or “AIMIGo”), to address the rapidly growing field of RPM. AIMIGo is comprised of a credit card sized Electrocardiogram (“ECG”) device and a powerful cloud-based diagnostic expert software system. We believe that we are uniquely positioned to play a central role in remote monitoring of high-risk coronary artery disease patients, because the studies performed so far have shown that our ischemia detection system is highly accurate. Our powerful ischemia detection system is unlike other ambulatory cardiac monitors currently on the market which focus on arrhythmia detection. Secondly, we are applying our platform technology to create a software tool for detecting heart attacks in the ED and similar acute care settings. The software tool, (“HeartBeam AIMI(TM)”) is designed to enable emergency physicians to quickly and more accurately diagnose heart attacks than currently available ECG systems. Market release of this Product will precede that of AIMIGo.

To date, we have developed working prototypes for both AIMIGo and HeartBeam AIMI. HeartBeam AIMI has been submitted for FDA 510(k) clearance. Both products have been validated in three medical studies, which were designed by Harvard Medical School faculty. Peer reviewed publications that describe the studies and results are in preparation. At the time of this filing, we have one peer reviewed medical publication being reviewed by a highly ranked cardiology journal. This publication will describe results of one of our key studies: HeartBeam Ischemia Detection Study (“HIDES”). In November 2021, we presented a technology abstract at the IEEE EMBS 2021 Conference. The abstract describes the technology foundation of HeartBeam AIMI.

The custom algorithm software and ECG collection device hardware of our Products, we believe, are classified as Class II medical devices by the FDA, running on an FDA approved Class I registered platform. Class II medical devices are those for which general controls alone are insufficient to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness and there is sufficient information to establish special controls. Special controls can include performance standards, post-market surveillance, patient histories and FDA guidance documents. Premarket review and clearance by the FDA for these devices is generally accomplished through the 510(k) or 510(k) de-novo premarket notification process.

HeartBeam has five issued U.S. patents (U.S.10,433,744, U.S.10,117,592, U.S.11,071,490, U.S.11,419,538 and U.S. 11,445,963), and seven pending U.S applications. Five of the pending applications have been published, the remaining two pending cases are unpublished. Outside of the U.S., HeartBeam has four issued patents in Germany, France, Netherlands and United Kingdom and seven pending applications in Canada, China, the European Union, Japan and Australia. HeartBeam has two pending PCT applications. The issued patents are predicted to expire between April 11, 2036 and October 5, 2041.

As of September 30, 2022, we had fifteen employees. We intend to hire or engage additional full-time professionals, employees, and/or consultants in alignment with our growth strategy. Although the market is highly competitive for attracting and retaining qualified professionals in our industry, we continue our endeavor to find such candidates for our

Company. Our management team and additional personnel that we may hire in the future will be primarily responsible for executing investment in new technologies including utilizing strategic partnerships.

Patent Assignment

In September 2022, we were granted two patents:

•We were granted a 12-lead ECG patch monitor intended for detection of acute coronary syndrome (“ACS”) and cardiac arrhythmia by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The innovation builds on our growing intellectual property portfolio enabling 12-lead ECG diagnostics outside of a medical setting.

•We were also granted a patent that enables generation of a synthesized 12-lead ECG by the AIMIGo credit card-sized device by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The innovation opens the pathway for a patient to record a set of signals using AIMIGo outside of a medical setting with a diagnostic synthesized 12-lead ECG immediately transmitted to a physician for review and diagnosis. Unlike single-lead ECG products currently in the marketplace, such as other credit card sized devices or smartwatches, our technology is intended to quickly and accurately help a physician identify a heart attack (“Myocardial Infarction” or “MI”).

Product Pipeline

In October 2022, we announced the expansion of our product pipeline with smartwatch connectivity enablement for 24/7 heart monitoring capability. The product pipeline advancement allows for the addition of arrhythmia detection capabilities to address the multibillion-dollar global market for atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmia monitoring. This capability builds on our recently issued patents. This broader product portfolio enables the following:

•Introducing a 3-lead 3D vector electrocardiogram (“VECG”) credit card-sized device, the HeartBeam AIMIGo™ 3L, that records the X,Y,Z cardiac activity and displays the signals for clinician review, providing the regulatory foundation for subsequent products in our product portfolio. The 510(K) submission to the FDA is planned for Q4 2022.

•Leveraging recently issued patents to incorporate both synthesized baseline and symptomatic 12-lead signals for enhanced diagnostic accuracy as well as the addition of atrial fibrillation detection capability in the AIMIGo 12L device for FDA 510(K) submission in Q2 2023.

•Broadening of the product portfolio profile to enable smartwatch connectivity to our platform in future products as an optional monitoring solution for the clinician and the patient.

CMO Appointment

In October 2022, we announced the appointment of Peter J. Fitzgerald, MD, Ph.D, as Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Fitzgerald is the Director of the Center for Cardiovascular Technology and Director of the Cardiovascular Core Analysis Laboratory at Stanford University Medical School. In addition to his world-renowned expertise in interventional cardiology, Dr. Fitzgerald is an accomplished inventor, entrepreneur, and investment fund founder.

Partnership Agreement

Table of contents

In January 2022, we entered into a partnership agreement with LIVMOR to build a Company-branded version of the LIVMOR’s Halo+ FDA cleared turnkey solution for RPM to connect physicians and patients. As included in the agreement, HeartBeam and LIVMOR have the right to enter into additional agreements as needed in order to further the Company’s development of its products. The agreement with LIVMOR included a commitment in 2022 of $1.0 million.

During August 2022, we entered into a supplemental agreement with LIVMOR. The supplemental agreement stated the Company would pay an additional $0.2 million for access the source code under the partnership agreement. Payments totaling $0.2 million have been made by the Company and LIVMOR has delivered to the Company copies of source materials and codes. All licenses granted by LIVMOR have been automatically converted into a non-exclusive and perpetual license and has become licenses granted on a royalty-free and fully paid-up basis, in which LIVMOR hereby expressly waives and relinquishes all HeartBeam payment obligations under the initial partnership agreement.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company expensed a total of $1.2 million associated with the LIVMOR agreements, which has been recognized as R&D expense.

Stock Purchase Agreement

In February 2022, we entered into a stock purchase agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell (“Private Placement”) to OpenSky Opportunities Fund Ltd. an aggregate of 58,000 units (“Units”), with each Unit consisting of one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) and one warrant (“Warrants”) to purchase one share of Common Stock at a combined price of $6.00 per Unit. The Common Stock and the Warrants were immediately separable and issued separately but were purchased together in the Private Placement. The Units, the Common Stock and the Warrants issued pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement shall be referred to as the “Securities”. We received $348,000 in proceeds from the Private Placement. The Warrants issued with the Private Placement will have a per share exercise price of $6.00 and are exercisable immediately subject to a 180-Day lock up. The Warrants will expire five years from the date of issuance. The Stock Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties.

Product Development Agreement

In March 2022, we entered into a professional services agreement (“Triple Ring Agreement”) with Triple Ring Technologies, Inc. (“Triple Ring”), a co-development company, to assist in the design and development of our telehealth complete solution 3D vector ECG collection device for remote heart attack or MI monitoring. The Triple Ring Agreement is a five-phase expedited device development project scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022 for a 510k submission to the FDA. Under the terms of the Triple Ring Agreement, the joint project will include our telehealth 3D vector ECG collection device builds for design verification and validation, device packaging, and a manufacturing technology transfer to a contract manufacturer to be named later.

The agreement with Triple Ring includes commitments through November 30, 2022 of approximately $2.0 million, of which approximately $1.4 million in payments have been made.

General and Administrative expenses (“G&A”) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $2.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively, representing an increase of $1.7 million or 501% and $4.5 million or 570% when compared to the same periods in 2021, and is primarily due to expenses associated with G&A headcount representing an increase of $1.0 million and $2.5 million and business development, which includes public company expenses, comprising of Board of Directors fees, investor and public relations, Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance and SEC reporting, increasing $0.5 million and $1.4 million when compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2021.

Research and development expenses (“R&D”) are primarily from internally developed software and our credit-card sized collection device. R&D expenses were $1.6 million and $4.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, representing an increase of $1.5 million or 1,388% and $3.9 million or 2,438% respectively as compared to the same periods in 2021. This is primarily from our service providers LIVMOR and Triple Ring representing an increase in R&D of approximately $1.1 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine month ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, of $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, is related to the 2015 Convertible Notes, which were converted to and included in Common Stock as of November 10, 2021. We incurred no such expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Other income decreased $19,000 when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to 2021, due to the forgiveness of loans during the first quarter of 2021 issued under the CARES Act.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash requirements are and will continue to be, dependent upon a variety of factors. We expect to continue devoting significant capital resources to R&D and go to market strategies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our 2021 Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon the most recent evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer) identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses identified to date include (i) policies and procedures which are not yet adequately documented, (ii) lack of proper approval processes and review processes and documentation for such reviews, (iii) insufficient GAAP experience regarding complex transactions and reporting, and (iv) insufficient number of staff to maintain optimal segregation of duties and levels of oversight. As of September 30, 2022, based on evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described above, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that the condensed unaudited financial statements, and other financial information

included in this quarterly report, fairly presents in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in this quarterly report.

We have taken and continue to take remedial steps to improve our internal controls over financial reporting, which includes hiring additional personnel, we will continue to assess the weaknesses as these individuals progress through our onboarding process. We also continue to expand the functionality of our internal accounting systems to provide for higher levels of automation and assurance in our financial reporting function.

Changes in Internal Control

There has been no change in our internal control procedures over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
