These forward-looking statements relate to our future plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and may be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “aims,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “intends,” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including those identified below, under Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and those risks identified under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 29, 2022 ("2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K"). Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed, projected or implied in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason.
These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our objectives, plans and strategies, statements that contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition, expected capital needs and expenses, statements relating to the research, development, completion and use of our device, and all statements (other than statements of historical facts) that address activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. We have based these forward-looking statements on assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate.
Important factors that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements include, among other things:
These statements are only current predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by law, we are under no duty to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise for any reason.
The Company will continue to file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Forward-looking statements speak only as of the dates specified in such filings. Except as expressly required under federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after any such date, whether as a result of new information or future events or otherwise. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements included in this report or that may be made elsewhere from time to time by us, or on our behalf. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.

Notes to Condensed Unaudited Financial Statements
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a HeartSciences (“HeartSciences” or the “Company”) is a medical technology company specializing in cardiovascular diagnostic technology. The Company is a Texas corporation and is headquartered in Southlake, Texas.
HeartSciences’ initial focus is on applying novel technology to extend the clinical indications for use of an electrocardiograph (“ECG”) device. Its first device, the MyoVista is an ECG that can be used in a wide range of clinical settings and provides diagnostic information to a qualified healthcare professional on cardiac dysfunction which has traditionally only been provided using cardiac imaging. In addition, the MyoVista provides conventional ECG information. The Company plans to market its device both domestically and internationally to various hospitals, clinics, and medical centers and manufacture the devices using outsourced production facilities. To date the Company has had small amounts of revenue from key opinion leader engagement and establishment of distributor relationships outside the United States during the development and product improvement phase of the MyoVista. The Company is preparing to seek U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance of the MyoVista during 2023.

Management’s plans include raising capital through the sale of additional equity securities, debt or capital inflows from strategic partnerships. 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 recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, which led to a global health emergency and market disruptions. The full impact of COVID-19 remains uncertain, and the related health crisis adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect the global economy. While the extent of these disruptions have eased, the risk

continues as new variants are being discovered, which may continue to negatively impact the Company’s results of operations and liquidity.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 Commissions (“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 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 unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates carrying value. At times, the Company’s cash balances may exceed the current insured amounts under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).
Inventory
All inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined substantially on a “first-in, first-out” basis. Selling, general, and administrative expenses are not inventoried, but are charged to expense when incurred.

Inventory consists mainly of raw materials and components used in the current hardware build of the MyoVista. Devices and components are used for research and development purposes and device sales, which to date have been in international markets as sale of the MyoVista in the U.S. is subject to FDA clearance. The Company is partway through a new pivotal clinical validation study and device testing necessary for a revised FDA De Novo submission, which is expected to take place during 2023. The Company believes that its hardware platform is in final form, however, prior to FDA clearance and market acceptance of the MyoVista, further hardware changes could be necessary which could have an impact on net realizable values. The majority of the Company’s current inventory is intended for use to build finished products for sales both internationally and in the U.S. following regulatory clearance. Finished products do not contain materials that would degrade significantly over the useable life of the device and are considered to have a useable life of over

Research and Development Expenses
In accordance with ASC Topic 730, Accounting for Research and Development Costs, the Company accounts for research and development expenditures, including payments to collaborative research partners and regulatory filing costs, as research and development expenses. Accordingly, all research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The range of estimated useful lives used to calculate depreciation is generally

Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred offering costs, consisting of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs, incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Company's IPO, were charged to stockholder's equity upon completion of the IPO in June 2022.
Fair Value Measurements
The accounting guidance establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or is derived from such prices. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the assignment of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which primarily include cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts of the Company’s existing notes payable approximate their fair values at the stated interest rates and are reflective of the prevailing market rates.
8
Leases
The Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. The Company measures and records a right-of-use asset and lease liability based on the discount rate implicit in the lease, if known. In cases where the discount rate implicit in the lease is not known, the Company measures the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities using a discount rate equal to the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate for loans with similar collateral and duration.
The Company elected to not apply the recognition requirements to leases of all classes of underlying assets that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee and non-employee share-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under ASC 718, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).
The estimated fair value of Common Stock option awards is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on key assumptions such as 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 rate and (iv) expected dividend yields. As there has not been a public market for the Company’s Common Stock, management has determined the expected stock price volatility at the time of grant of the option by considering a number of objective and subjective factors, including stock price volatility of comparable companies that are publicly available and based on the industry, stage of life cycle, size and financial leverage of such other comparable companies.
Management has estimated the expected term of its Common 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 expected volatility is derived from the historical volatilities of comparable publicly traded companies over a period approximately equal to the expected term for the options. 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 that commensurate with the expected term of the associated award. There is no expected dividend yield since the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
For stock options issued to employees and non-employees, the fair value of stock-based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is defined as the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for an award. The Company uses a straight-line attribution method for all grants that include only a service condition. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the financial statements is reduced by actual awards forfeited.
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 shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities.
Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of Common Stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, convertible preferred stock, stock options, Common Stock subject to repurchase related to early exercise of stock options, convertible stock warrants and convertible notes are considered to be potentially dilutive securities. As the Company has reported a net loss for all periods presented, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for those periods.
Common Stock Warrants
9
The Company grants warrants to purchase Common Stock in connection with financing transactions. Warrants are valued based on Black-Scholes models and the fair value is recorded to additional paid-in-capital.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The guidance focuses on the core principle for revenue recognition, which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, which provides a five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers as follows:
A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into a legally enforceable contract with a customer, through a purchase order, that defines each party’s rights regarding the products to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these products, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for products that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The only performance obligation is to create and ship the product and each product has separate, distinct pricing. Performance obligations are met and revenue is recognized at a point in time when the order for its goods are shipped FOB manufacturer and control is transferred.
The transaction price is determined based on the amount expected to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the product to the customer net of any transaction price adjustments. The Company’s payment terms to customers generally range from
Payment terms fall within the one-year guidance for the practical expedient which allows the Company to forgo adjustment of the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component. The Company accepts product returns at its discretion or if the product is defective as manufactured. Historically, the actual product returns have been immaterial to the Company’s financial statements. The Company elected to treat shipping and handling costs as a fulfillment cost and included them in the cost of goods sold as incurred. Costs associated with product sales include commissions. The Company applies the practical expedient and recognizes commissions as expense when incurred because the expense is incurred at a point in time and the amortization period is less than one year. Commissions are recorded as selling expense.
The Company did not recognize material revenues during the three and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2023 or 2022. The Company’s revenues do not require significant estimates or judgements. The Company is not party to contracts that include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration. As of January 31, 2023 and April 30, 2022, the Company did
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets, subject to valuation allowances, and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Management considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including recent cumulative experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income or loss, the carry-forward periods available to the Company for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors.
A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.
10
Accruals for uncertain tax positions are provided for in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The Company may recognize the tax benefits from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Judgement is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns.
Based on its analysis, management has determined that it has not incurred any liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of January 31, 2023 and April 30, 2022.
The Company may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, U.S. states or foreign jurisdiction authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax laws.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and franchise taxes in the State of Texas. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. Generally, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities for years before 2018.

Note 6. Stock-based Compensation
The Company grants certain employees and board members stock option awards where vesting is contingent upon a service period, as it believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Stock option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to or above the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. Certain stock option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control, as defined in the Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement. Unvested stock options forfeit when an employee leaves the Company.
Where option awards are granted based on service periods, they generally vest quarterly based on
The Company also grants stock option awards where vesting is contingent upon meeting various departmental and company-wide performance goals, including FDA and CE Mark regulatory approval and certain EBITDA and funding thresholds. Such performance-based stock options are expected to vest when the performance criteria and metrics have been met. These stock options have contractual lives of ten years.
At January 31, 2023, the Company did not have an ERISA stock awards plan. So, all stock options issued to date were Non-ERISA Plan options and do not have any of the tax and other benefits afforded to ERISA stock option awards. In March 2023, the Company's board of directors adopted, subject to shareholder approval, the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) and, unless earlier terminated, will continue for a term of

For the nine months ended January 31, 2023 and the year ended April 30, 2022, the Company’s cumulative net operating loss for federal income tax purposes was approximately $
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based upon the projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences, and therefore, a full valuation allowance has been recorded at January 31, 2023 and April 30, 2022.

Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that the outcome of those matters will have a material adverse effect to the financial position, operating results or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance such legal proceedings will not have a material impact.
The Company is not aware of any material claims outstanding or pending against the Company as of January 31, 2023.
Royalty Agreements
In 2013, the Company entered into an agreement (“Technology Agreement”) with its founder, conveying ownership of all intellectual property and rights to the Company. As part of that agreement, the Company will make royalty payments, based upon paid MyoVista device unit sales, as follows:
The royalty obligation has a first priority security interest and pledge on the covered technology (as defined in the Technology Agreement, which essentially is comprised of the intellectual property of the MyoVista device) in priority to the debt holders of the $

In December 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with The University Court of The University of Glasgow (“Glasgow”) for the license of the Glasgow algorithm interpretive analysis for the conventional ECG trace. As part of that agreement, the Company was required to make royalty payments, based upon MyoVista device unit sales dependent on sale volumes per year, and subject to minimum annual fees. To date, such amounts have been expensed to research and development as the Glasgow algorithm is an essential part of the device development as part of the submission for FDA clearance of the MyoVista device. The Company is currently in discussion with Glasgow to amend the agreement as prior to FDA clearance, there is no expectation of significant sales volumes.
Collaboration Agreements
On November 29, 2022, the Company entered into a multi-year Collaboration Agreement with Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, to develop AI-based ECG algorithms for new or improved ECG indications.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following 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 unaudited financial statements and the notes presented herein included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and the related notes set forth in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that are based upon our current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to inaccurate assumptions and known or unknown risks and uncertainties, including those identified in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and under “Risk Factors” as identified under Part 1, Item 1A of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We are a medical technology company focused on applying innovative AI-based technology to an ECG (also known as an EKG) to expand and improve an ECG’s clinical usefulness. Our objective is to make an ECG a far more valuable cardiac screening tool, particularly in frontline or point-of-care clinical settings. HeartSciences’ first product candidate for FDA clearance, the MyoVista wavECG (the “MyoVista”) is a resting 12-lead ECG that is designed to provide diagnostic information related to cardiac dysfunction, as well as conventional ECG information in the same test. The cardiac dysfunction information has only traditionally been available through the use of cardiac imaging. Our business model, which involves the use of the MyoVista device and consumables for each test, is expected to be “razor-razorblade” as the electrodes used with the MyoVista are proprietary to HeartSciences, and new electrodes are required for every test performed. As of January 31, 2023, we had 12 full-time employees and one part-time employee.
Our device is not yet cleared for marketing by the FDA and our future success is dependent upon receiving FDA De Novo clearance for the MyoVista. Additional funding may be required in order to achieve FDA clearance for the MyoVista and, if clearance is achieved, would then be required to support the sales launch of the MyoVista into the U.S., provide working capital and support further research and development, or R&D.
We believe that there is currently no low-cost, front-line, medical device that is effective at screening for heart disease. As a result, we believe that frontline physicians face a significant challenge in determining if a patient has heart disease. Although many think of the ECG as the frontline heart disease test, in 2012, the United States Preventive Services Task Force, or USPSTF, conducted an evaluation of conventional ECG testing and stated: “There is no good evidence that an ECG helps physicians predict heart risks in people with no symptoms any better than traditional considerations such as current or former smoking, blood pressure and cholesterol levels.”
ECG devices record the electrical signals of a patient’s heart. The ECG is a ubiquitous, relatively low-cost, simple and quick test; it is portable and can be performed in a wide range of clinical settings by a non-specialist clinician or clinical aide. There are three basic categories of heart disease: electrical (such as an arrhythmia), structural (such as valvular disease) and ischemic (such as coronary artery disease, or CAD). Conventional resting ECGs have limited sensitivity in detecting structural and ischemic disease and are typically used for diagnosing cardiac rhythm abnormalities, such as atrial fibrillation, also known as Afib, or acute coronary syndrome, such as a myocardial infarction, which is also known as a heart attack. However, traditional ECGs have a limited role in identifying cardiac dysfunction associated with structural and ischemic disease.
HeartSciences has designed the MyoVista to help address these limitations and extend the clinical capability of an ECG in detecting cardiac dysfunction. We have been applying AI-machine learning to the signal processed electrical signal of the heart to develop a proprietary algorithm designed to detect cardiac dysfunction caused by heart disease and/or age-related cardiac dysfunction. The MyoVista has not yet received FDA clearance.
The editorial comment associated with the study titled “Prediction of Abnormal Myocardial Relaxation from Signal Processed Surface ECG” presented below discusses recent applications of machine learning to data derived from surface 12-lead ECGs in relation to cardiac dysfunction:
“These are some of the most significant advances in electrocardiography since its inception, which has historically had a limited, if any, role in the evaluation of cardiac dysfunction. In the past, our cardiovascular community was resigned to the fact that surface ECGs are poor indicators for cardiac dysfunction.”
Khurram Nasir, MD, MPH, MSC, Department of Cardiology, Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center, Houston, Texas, et. al., Journal of American College of Cardiology Editorial Comment Volume 76 Number 8 2020.
Almost all forms of heart disease, including CAD and structural disease, affect heart muscle, or cardiac, function prior to symptoms. Impaired cardiac function is first observed as impaired cardiac relaxation which is an early indicator of diastolic
20
dysfunction and usually continues to increase in severity as heart disease progresses. The diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle occurs when the heart muscle relaxes (following contraction). Diastolic dysfunction may also be related to age-related cardiac dysfunction.
If we receive FDA clearance for the MyoVista, our main target markets would be frontline healthcare environments in the U.S., such as primary care, to assist physician decision making in the cardiology referral process. Currently, cardiology referral decisions are often based on a patient’s risk factors and/or a conventional ECG test. Accordingly, many patients with heart disease are left undetected while no treatment or intervention is required for most patients referred for cardiac imaging. We believe that adding the capability to detect cardiac dysfunction to a standard 12-lead resting ECG could help improve cardiac referral pathways and be valuable for patients, physicians, health systems and third-party payors.
New Class II devices, such as the MyoVista, require FDA De Novo premarket review. The MyoVista along with its proprietary software and hardware is classified as a Class II medical device by the FDA. Premarket review and clearance by the FDA for these devices is generally accomplished through the 510(k) premarket notification process or De Novo classification request, or petition process. We previously submitted an FDA De Novo classification request in December 2019 and following feedback and communications with the FDA during and since that submission, we have been making modifications to our device, including our proprietary algorithm. We are part way through a new, pivotal clinical validation study and have been undertaking device and algorithm development and testing for a revised FDA De Novo submission, which we expect to take place during 2023.
We have been using the funding from the IPO to continue our work towards FDA resubmission and clearance and for general corporate purposes. Although our current aim is to achieve FDA clearance, which would allow us to market the MyoVista in the U.S., with the remaining net proceeds of the IPO, there is no assurance that this will be the case. Additional funding would be required to support the sales launch of the MyoVista into the U.S., provide working capital and support further R&D. These events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets, and the values we receive for our assets in liquidation or dissolution could be significantly lower than the values reflected in our financial statements. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an opinion on our audited financial statements included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K that contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because we have experienced recurring losses, negative cash flows from operations, limited capital resources and a net stockholders' deficit.
Recent Developments
Collaboration Agreement
On November 29, 2022, we entered into a multi-year Collaboration Agreement with Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, to develop AI-based ECG algorithms for new or improved ECG indications, which is expected to accelerate our product development pipeline and further expand the clinical value of an ECG for low-cost detection of heart disease.
Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Requirements
On December 21, 2022, we received notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC, or Nasdaq, stating that we were not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, under Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”), because our stockholders’ equity of $1,082,676 as reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2022 was below the required minimum of $2.5 million, and because, as of October 31, 2022, we did not meet the alternative compliance standards, relating to the market value of listed securities of $35 million or net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years.
On February 3, 2023 we submitted to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. On February 8, 2023, Nasdaq notified us that they have granted us an extension of up to 180 calendar days from December 21, 2022, or through June 19, 2023, to regain compliance. If we fail to evidence compliance upon filing our annual report for the year ending April 30, 2023 with the SEC and Nasdaq, we may be subject to delisting. If Nasdaq determines to delist our Common Stock, we will have the right to appeal to a Nasdaq hearings panel.
Patent Grant
In February 2023, we were granted patents from the Korean Intellectual Property Office (“KIPO”) and the Israel Patent Office for MyoVista Wavelet Technology, further extending international coverage.
Bridge Warrant Amendment
21
On February 3, 2023, the Company entered into a second written amendment to the Bridge Warrants with the lead investor in the private placement of the 2021 Bridge Securities. The amendment lowered the exercise price of the Bridge Warrants from $4.25 per share to $1.00 per share for a period of ten business days beginning February 3, 2023 and ending February 16, 2023 (the “Limited Period”). The amendment also amended the Bridge Warrants to provide that, during the Limited Period, the holders of the Bridge Warrants were permitted to elect a cashless exercise of the Bridge Warrants in whole or in part, pursuant to which the holder would receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to one-third of the total number of shares with respect to each Bridge Warrant exercised. During the Limited Period, the Company issued 1,172,304 shares of Common Stock and a pre-funded warrant to purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of the Bridge Warrants and received approximately $1.3 million in proceeds from these exercises. Immediately after the end of the Limited Period, Bridge Warrants to purchase 298,667 shares of Common Stock remained outstanding, with a fixed exercise price of $4.25.
Equity Purchase Agreement
On March 10, 2023, the Company entered into a purchase agreement and registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”) providing for the purchase, from time to time at the Company’s discretion of up to $15.0 million of the Company’s Common Stock, over the thirty-six (36) month term of the purchase agreement. The Company issued to Lincoln Park 100,000 shares of its Common Stock as initial commitment shares in consideration for entering into the purchase agreement and has agreed to issue an additional 62,500 shares of Common Stock, as additional commitment shares, upon receiving $2.0 million of proceeds. The Company does not have the right to commence any sales until all of the conditions set forth in the purchase agreement have been satisfied , including, but not limited to, a resale registration statement being declared effective by the SEC.

Summary of Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023 compared with the three and nine months ended January 31, 2022:
Revenues were $2,000 and costs of sales were $1,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2023, representing a decline of $1,000 in revenue, or 29%, and no change in cost of sales. Revenues were $5,000 and cost of sales were $3,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2023, representing a decline of $5,000 in revenue, or 50%, and $4,000 in cost of sales, or 58%, when compared to the same period ended January 31, 2022. Our revenues to date have been mainly generated in the establishment of distributor relationships outside the United States as part of obtaining feedback during product development and improvement. The decrease in revenue, and related decrease in cost of sales, is due to our proactive reduction in new international distributor engagement in the run up to FDA submission and until we update our certificate of conformity, called a CE Mark, under the new European Union Medical Device Regulation regime to reflect hardware and software improvements being incorporated into the device for FDA submission.
Research and development expenses were $643,000 and $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023, respectively, representing a decrease of $56,000, or 8%, and an increase of $281,000, or 17%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022. For the three months ended January 31, 2023, the decrease is primarily due to reductions in clinical trial and hardware development expenditure for a period in the quarter ended January 31, 2023. For the nine months ended January 31, 2023, the increase is primarily due to an increase in software consulting and hardware development of approximately $233,000 and an increase in clinical trial studies of approximately $195,000, when compared to the same periods ended January 31, 2022, which is consistent with work being performed for device development and ongoing clinical validation studies in preparation for a new De Novo submission, offset by approximately $160,000 consisting of approximately $81,000 in supplier credits and approximately $70,000 in prior year inventory adjustments.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $667,000 and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023, respectively, representing an increase of $264,000, or 66%, and $1.5 million, or 138%, respectively as compared to the same periods in 2022. This is primarily due to an increase of approximately $369,000 and $1.3 million for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023, respectively, for preparatory expenses, or on-going expenses associated with, being a public company including investor and public relations, SEC reporting, accounting and legal, insurance, and stock registrar expenses, and an approximately $16,000 and $381,000 increase in payroll related expenses and stock compensation for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023, respectively, due to the vesting of options when compared to the same periods ended January 31, 2022.
Interest expense during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023, of $33,000 and $209,000, respectively, is related to interest on the $1M Loan and Security Agreement and interest and debt service amortization related to the Bridge Notes for approximately half of the quarter ended July 31, 2022. All of the Bridge Notes and accrued interest were converted to equity upon consummation of the IPO in June 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of January 31, 2023, we had approximately $1.9 million of cash, an increase of $1.0 million from $918,000 as of April 30, 2022. We incurred a net loss of $4.7 million and $2.8 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. As of January 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $59.1 million and working capital of $0.9 million.
On June 17, 2022, we completed our IPO, which consisted of the sale of 1,500,000 Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and one IPO Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at a combined public offering price of $4.25 per Unit. We received approximately $5.2 million in net proceeds from the IPO after deducting the underwriting discount and commission and other IPO expenses payable by the Company of approximately $1.2 million.
In February 2023, we raised approximately $1.3 million from the exercise of Bridge Warrants.
On March 10, 2023, we entered into a purchase agreement and registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”) providing for the purchase, from time to time at the Company’s discretion, of up to $15.0 million of the Company’s Common Stock, over the thirty-six (36) month term of the purchase agreement. Actual sales of shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time. The net proceeds received from these purchases will depend on the frequency and prices at which we sell shares of our Common Stock to Lincoln Park. We expect that any proceeds received from such sales to Lincoln Park will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
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, clinical studies and go-to-market strategies. Our principal sources of capital are cash on hand and the proceeds of future offerings of equity and debt securities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to consummate the sale of any such securities on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

The Company's 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) determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of January 31, 2023 as a result of identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The identified material weaknesses were as follows: (i) we did not maintain sufficient U.S. GAAP and SEC accounting resources commensurate with those required of a public company; (ii) we had an insufficient number of staff to maintain optimal segregation of duties and levels of oversight; and (iii) we did not have strong accounting consideration and analysis over equity accounts and inventory valuation. We have taken and continue to take remedial steps to improve our internal controls over financial reporting, which includes hiring additional accounting and financial reporting personnel and implementing additional policies, procedures, and controls. Our management is monitoring the effectiveness of these and other processes, procedures and controls and will make any further changes deemed appropriate. Our management believes the foregoing actions will effectively remediate the material weaknesses. However, our material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the above controls are in place for a period of time, the controls are tested, and management concludes that these controls are properly designed and operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except as described above with respect to the remediation steps we are taking, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended January 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

There are no actions, suits, proceedings, inquiries or investigations before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company, our Common Stock, any of our officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
For a discussion of risk factors, please refer to Item 1A of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the risk factors contained in Item 1A of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
During the nine-month period ended January 31, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 230,086 shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of its Common Stock, without the payment of additional consideration, upon the conversion of 60,037 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock, by certain holders. The shares of Series C Preferred Stock, which have a liquidation preference to the shares of Common Stock, were issued from April 2019 to October 2020 to accredited investors. The Conversion Shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering, and/or Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. In accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Conversion Shares were exchanged by the Company with its existing security holders in a transaction where no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange.
There were no other sales of equity securities during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that were not registered under the Securities Act and were not previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company.
We received approximately $5.2 million in net proceeds from our IPO after deducting the underwriting discount and commission and other IPO expenses payable by the Company of approximately $1.2 million. As of March 15, 2023, we have used approximately $4.2 million of the net proceeds from the IPO for costs directly related to achieving FDA clearance for the MyoVista device, to pay accrued and unpaid interest under the $1M Loan and Security Agreement, and for working capital and general corporate purposes including personnel costs, capital expenditures and the costs of operating as a public company. The securities offered in the IPO were registered on a Form S-1 Registration Statement (File No. 333-265024) that was declared effective on June 14, 2022.
