Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the Company’s December 31, 2021 audited Consolidated Financial Statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the information set forth herein. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, as permitted by such rules and regulations, omit certain information and footnote disclosures necessary to present the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year or any future periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Pulse Biosciences, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions, if any, have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Financial Statements and accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of cash equivalents, the valuation and recognition of share-based compensation, inventory valuation, warranty obligations, and the useful lives assigned to long-lived assets. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company continually evaluates the accounting policies and estimates used in preparing the consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Valuation of Inventory

Inventory is stated at lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company establishes the inventory basis by determining the cost based on standard costs approximating the purchase costs on a first-in, first-out basis. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The cost basis of the Company’s inventory will be reduced for any products that are considered excessive or obsolete based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. In September 2022, the Company announced a strategic shift in focus to advance its core NPS technology outside of dermatology, ceasing active commercialization efforts of the CellFX System, and subsequently recorded a $7.2 million inventory reserve for excessive and obsolete inventory, as a majority of its inventory is not expected to be sold. At September 30, 2022, the balance of inventory is reduced by $7.4 million for excessive and obsolete inventory.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when it satisfies performance obligations by transferring control of promised goods to its customers. The amount of revenue recognized is equal to the consideration which the Company is entitled to in exchange for the promised goods, excluding any amounts assessed by government authorities for taxes which might be collected from a customer. Sales contracts often involve the sale and delivery of multiple products, each of which typically represent a separate performance obligation in the contract. While the Company has sold these products on a stand-alone basis at their respective stand-alone selling prices (“SSP”), initial customer contracts have primarily involved the bundling of products which were delivered concurrently to the customer. In such instances, the full consideration of the contract was recognized upon shipment of the products. The Company generally requires receipt of full payment prior to shipment, however, from time to time, payment terms have been extended to customers upon which the Company performed a necessary credit evaluation to ensure future collectability of the outstanding balance. The Company does not believe any portion of the outstanding accounts receivable balance to be uncollectible, and has therefore not recorded an allowance against the accounts receivable balance. Refer to Note 10 for further details.

Product Warranty

The Company provides a standard warranty on eligible products which provides the customer assurances that the products comply with the agreed-upon specifications. The standard warranty does not provide any services in addition to those assurances. The Company has accrued a warranty reserve for products sold based upon the best estimate of the nature, frequency, and costs of future claims. These estimates are inherently uncertain given the short history of sales, and changes to the historical or projected warranty experience may cause material changes to the warranty reserve in the future. The warranty reserve is included within Accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. Warranty expense is recorded as a component of Cost of Revenues in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Warranty accrual activity consisted of the following for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Net Loss per Share

The Company calculates basic net loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. For purposes of this calculation, options to purchase common stock and common stock warrants are considered common stock equivalents. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share.

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is the same for all periods presented because all warrants, stock options and restricted stock units outstanding are anti-dilutive.

The following outstanding stock options, warrants and restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:
