NATURE OF THE BUSINESS
Business Combination
Spectral AI, Inc., a Delaware
corporation formerly known as Rosecliff Acquisition Corp I (“Spectral AI” or the “Company”) was formed as a blank
check company on November 17, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition,
stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
On September 11, 2023, the
Company consummated a business combination (the “Business Combination”), pursuant to the business combination agreement dated
April 11, 2023 by and among the Company, Ghost Merger Sub I, a Delaware Corporation, Ghost Merger Sub II, a Delaware corporation and Spectral
MD Holdings, Ltd., a Delaware corporation incorporated on March 9, 2009 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas (“Legacy Spectral”).
Upon closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), in sequential order: (a) Ghost Merger Sub I merged with and into
the Legacy Spectral, with Legacy Spectral continuing as the surviving company as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Spectral
Merger”) and then, (b) Legacy Spectral merged with and into Ghost Merger Sub II (renamed Spectral MD Holdings LLC) (the “SPAC
Merger”, together with the Spectral Merger (the “Business Combination”)), with Ghost Merger Sub II surviving the SPAC
Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. See Note 3. Upon the Closing, the Company changed its name from Rosecliff Acquisition
Corp I to Spectral AI, Inc.
In conjunction with the Business
Combination, the Company cancelled the redeemable warrants that it issued to Rosecliff Acquisition Sponsor I LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (the “Sponsor”), in a private placement in connection with the Company’s initial public offering on February
17, 2021 (the “Initial Public Offering”) at Closing, but the 8,433,333 redeemable warrants issued to the public in the Initial
Public Offering (the “Public Warrants”) remain outstanding.
Prior
to the Business Combination, Rosecliff Acquisition Corp I (“Rosecliff”) had 280,485
shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding and held by public shareholders (the “Public
Shares”) and 6,325,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding and held by the Sponsor
(the “Sponsor Shares”). Upon the Closing, 5,445,000 of the Sponsor Shares were forfeited, in accordance with a letter agreement
with the Sponsor, and the remaining 880,000 Sponsor Shares and 280,485 Public Shares, no longer designated Class A and Class B, were included
in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Company Common Stock”).
Prior to the Business Combination,
Legacy Spectral’s shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Legacy Spectral Common Stock”) were listed on
the AIM market on the London Stock Exchange (delisted on September 7, 2023). In September 2023,
prior to the Closing, Legacy Spectral issued 7,679,198 shares of Legacy Spectral Common Stock to certain investors in a private
placement, in exchange for $3.4 million (the “Equity Raise”). Upon the Closing, all
of Legacy Spectral’s issued and outstanding 145,380,871 shares of Legacy Spectral Common Stock, including the shares from
the Equity Raise, were exchanged for 14,094,450 shares of Company Common Stock at an exchange ratio of 10.31 (the “Exchange
Ratio”), meaning that the Company issued one share of Company Common Stock in exchange for 10.31 shares of Legacy Spectral Common
Stock.
On
September 12, 2023, the Company began trading the Company Common Stock and the Public Warrants on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”)
under the symbols “MDAI” and “MDAIW”, respectively. Prior to the Business Combination, the Company’s
shares of Company Common Stock and Public Warrants were listed on the NASDAQ under the symbols “RCLF” and “RCLFW”,
respectively.
Nature of Operations
We
are an artificial intelligence (“AI”) company focused on predictive medical diagnostics. Our DeepView System uses proprietary
AI algorithms to distinguish between fully damaged, partially damaged and healthy human tissue characters invisible to the naked eye,
at the initial time point of wound presentation. The DeepView System delivers a binary prediction on the wounds capacity to heal by a
specified time point in the future. Our DeepView System’s output is specifically engineered to assist the physician in making a
more accurate, timely and informed decision regarding the treatment of the patient’s wounds. Our focus from 2013 through 2021 was
on the burn indication. In 2022, we expanded our focus to include the diabetic foot ulcer (“DFU”) indication.
Spectral
AI is devoting substantially all of its efforts towards research and development of its DeepView® Wound Imaging System,
currently focused on burn wounds and DFU indications, specifically engineered to allow physicians
to make a more accurate, timely and informed decision for treatment options. The Company has not generated any product revenue to date.
The Company currently generates revenue from contract development and research services by providing such services to governmental agencies,
primarily to the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”) and under a contract with the Medical Technology
Enterprise Consortium (“MTEC”).
In September 2023, the Company executed its third contract with BARDA
for a multi-year Project BioShield (“PBS”) contract, valued at up to approximately $150.0 million (the “PBS BARDA Contract”).
This multi-year contract includes an initial award of nearly $54.9 million to support the clinical validation and FDA clearance of DeepView® for
commercial development and distribution purposes. The Company completed the second contract with BARDA, referred to as BARDA Burn II,
which was signed in July 2019 and completed in November 2023. Under this contract, the Company furthered the DeepView System design,
developed the AI algorithm, and took steps to obtain FDA approval. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has $30.0 million remaining to
bill under the initial award.
In April 2023, the Company received
a $4.0 million grant from MTEC for a project that is expected to be completed by April 2025 (the “MTEC Agreement”). The
MTEC Agreement is for the development of a handheld version of the DeepView System which is to be used to support military battlefield
burn evaluation. The project has three phases, beginning with planning, design and testing; followed
by development, design modification and buildout of the handheld device; and then the manufacturing of the handheld device. In August
2024, the MTEC award was increased to $4.9 million and is currently intended to run through December 2025 with funding dependent on various
milestones. In September 2024, we received an additional award of $0.9 million from MTEC for further development of the handheld device.
In March 2024, we received an additional $0.5 million award from the Defense Health Agency to further this development. As of September
30, 2024, the Company has $2.5 million and $0.2 million remaining to bill under the MTEC and DHA awards, respectively.
On March 7, 2024, the Company
formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Spectral IP, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Spectral IP”), to be utilized to advance
artificial intelligence intellectual property with a specific emphasis on healthcare. On March 19, 2024, the Company announced that Spectral
IP received a $1.0 million investment from an affiliate of its largest shareholder for the development of its artificial intelligence
intellectual property portfolio. The investment is structured as a note payable with a one-year maturity, an interest rate of 8%, and
requiring earlier prepayment if the Company spins off Spectral IP to the Company’s shareholders or if Spectral IP is sold to a third
party.
Risks
and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to
a number of risks common to development stage companies in the medical technology industry, including, but not limited to, risks of failure
of preclinical studies and clinical trials, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, reliance on third party
organizations, risks of obtaining regulatory approval for any products that it may develop, development by competitors of technological
innovations, compliance with government regulations and the need to obtain additional financing.
Liquidity
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately
$3.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively, in cash, and an accumulated deficit of $40.4 million and $32.8 million, respectively. As
of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $5.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in short-term
notes payable and $1.0 million in long-term debt as of September 30, 2024. See Notes 7 and 15 for further information.
On
December 26, 2023, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and related Registration
Rights Agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC (“B. Riley”). Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, in our sole discretion, to sell to B. Riley up to $10.0 million
in aggregate gross proceeds of newly issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “ELOC”).
On
March 20, 2024, the Company also entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands
exempt limited partnership (“Yorkville”) pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Yorkville up to $30.0 million
in shares of Company Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA (such transaction, the “Yorkville
Transaction”). In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Yorkville has agreed to advance to
the Company in the form of convertible promissory notes an aggregate principal amount of up to $12.5 million (the “Pre-Paid Advance”),
which will be paid in three tranches. The first Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on March 20, 2024 in the amount of $4.6 million and the
second Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on May 16, 2024 in the amount of $4.6 million. The third Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on July
17, 2024 in the principal amount of $2.5 million. In addition to the Pre-Paid Advance, the Company has the ability to drawdown an additional
$17.5 million under the SEPA. In connection with the execution and delivery of the SEPA, the Company is authorized to drawdown an additional
$3.0 million from the ELOC prior to utilizing the SEPA. See Note 7 and Note 10 for further details.
On
June 3, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”)
that the Company was not in compliance with the listing requirement relating to a minimum market value of its listed securities of $35.0
million. The Company has 180 calendar days from receipt of a notice from Nasdaq to regain compliance with the market value of listed securities
requirement. If at any time before December 2, 2024, the closing market capitalization of the Company’s Common Stock closes at or
above $35.0 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, subject to Nasdaq’s discretion to extend this period to 20 consecutive
business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the minimum market capitalization
requirement, and the matter would be resolved. If the Company does not regain compliance during the review period ending December 2, 2024,
the Company may be delisted from Nasdaq. See Part II below for further information.
Based on our current operating
plan, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents, together with the PBS BARDA Contract, the MTEC Agreement, the B. Riley ELOC, and
the Yorkville Transaction, and certain research and development cost-saving measures, will be sufficient to fund operations for at least
one year beyond the release date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. We have based this determination on assumptions
that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. The Company could utilize
cost-savings measures to limit the expenditures of our DFU indication to conserve our working capital and to focus our efforts primarily
on the burn indication. Changing circumstances could also cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate,
and we may need to raise capital sooner or in greater amounts than currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control. Changes
in the current equity markets may also limit our ability to utilize the B. Riley ELOC and Yorkville Transaction as currently structured.
To the extent additional capital is necessary, there are no assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital on favorable
terms or at all, and therefore we may not be able to execute our business plans and the continued work on indications beyond expanding
our burn indication.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”) as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) or an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”).
The
Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Legacy Spectral was determined as the accounting
acquirer and the Company as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business
Combination is treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which Legacy Spectral issued stock for the net assets of the Company. Upon
the Closing, the net assets of the Company are stated at fair value, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. See Note 3
– Recapitalization.
Legacy
Spectral was determined to be the accounting acquiror based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
| (i) | Legacy
Spectral’s former shareholders have a majority of the voting power of Spectral AI; |
| (ii) | Legacy
Spectral’s senior management comprises all of the senior management of Spectral AI; |
| (iii) | Legacy
Spectral selected five of the six directors for the Board of Directors of Spectral AI; |
| (iv) | Legacy
Spectral’s relative size of assets and operations compared to Rosecliff; and |
| (v) | Legacy
Spectral’s operations comprise the ongoing operations of Spectral AI. |
All
historical financial information presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements represents the accounts of Legacy Spectral
at their historical values as if Legacy Spectral is the predecessor to the Company. The condensed consolidated financial statements following
the Closing reflect the results of the combined entity’s operations.
All
issued and outstanding shares of Legacy Spectral Common Stock and warrants, stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”),
and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) of Legacy Spectral and the per share amounts contained in the condensed consolidated
financial statements for the periods presented prior to the Closing have been retroactively restated to reflect the Exchange Ratio (as
defined in Note 1).
Principles of Consolidation
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Spectral MD Holdings
LLC, Spectral MD Inc., Spectral MD UK Limited (“Spectral MD UK”), Spectral DeepView Limited, and Spectral IP. Significant
inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates
and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The amounts
of assets and liabilities reported in the Company’s balance sheets and the amounts of expenses reported for each of the periods
presented are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, warrant liabilities,
the fair value of short term notes payable, fair value of the B. Riley and Yorkville derivative instruments, stock-based compensation
expense, stock issued for transaction costs, the net realizable value of inventory, right-of-use assets, and income tax valuation allowances.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Segments
Operating
segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate and discrete information is available for evaluation by the
chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has one operating segment. The
Chairman of the Board in conjunction with the Company’s executive management team manages the Company’s operations for the purposes of allocating resources.
Cash
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
All cash is held in US, UK, & Ireland financial institutions.
Accounts
Receivable, Net and Unbilled Revenue
Accounts
receivable represent amounts due from US government agencies pursuant to research and development contracts associated with the Company’s
DeepView® System.
The
Company evaluates the collectability of its receivables based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are
past due, the financial health of its customers and historical experience. Based upon the review of these factors, the Company recorded
no allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Certain
third-party costs that are prepaid per the terms of the contract are billable to customers prior to recognition of related expenses. The
Company records deferred revenue when the customers have been billed prior to recognizing revenue. The Company records unbilled revenue
when revenue is recognized prior to billing customers.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss includes
net loss, as well as other changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) that result from transactions and economic events other than
those with stockholders.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. Primarily all cash
is held in US financial institutions which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not recognized any losses from
credit risks on such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk on cash.
Additional
credit risk is related to the Company’s concentration of receivables. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, receivables
were concentrated from one customer (which is a US. Government agency) representing 98% and 92% of total net receivables, respectively.
One
customer (which is a U.S. government agency) accounted for 90% and 93% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively
and 89% and 94% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively of the recognized research and development revenue.
Inventory
Inventory
is comprised of finished goods, purchased from a third-party manufacturer, and is stated at the lower of cost (average cost) or net realizable
value. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did
not have write-downs for obsolete inventory.
Fair
Value
Fair
value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal
or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are reported using a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs
used to measure fair value. This hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. The three
levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
|
Level 1 |
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are assessable at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 |
Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 |
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |
Foreign
Currency
The
reporting currency for the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company is the US dollar. The functional currency of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Spectral MD Holdings LLC, Spectral MD, Inc., and Spectral IP is the US dollar. The functional
currency of Spectral MD UK is its local currency, the British pound. The functional currency of Spectral DeepView Limited is its local
currency, the Euro. The assets and liabilities of Spectral MD UK and Spectral DeepView Limited, are translated into US. Dollars at exchange
rates in effect at the end of each reporting period, and the revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect
during the applicable reporting period. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component
of stockholders’ equity. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s foreign exchange translation adjustments
are not material.
Monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the US dollar are translated at exchange rates in effect as of the balance
sheet date. Resulting unrealized gains and losses are included in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements
of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded approximately $9,000 and $34,000, respectively
of net foreign exchange transaction losses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded approximately
$24,000 and $11,000, respectively, of net foreign exchange transaction losses. These amounts primarily relate to one of the Company’s
bank accounts being denominated in British Pounds and certain accounts payable denominated in British Pounds.
Property
and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment, net
is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets, which are as follows:
| | Estimated Useful Life |
Computer equipment | | 3 years |
Manufacturing equipment | | 5 years |
Furniture and equipment | | 5 years |
Laboratory equipment | | 5 years |
Leasehold improvements | | Shorter of remaining lease term or useful life |
Purchased assets that are
not yet in service are recorded to construction-in-process and no depreciation expense is recorded. Once they are placed in service, they
are reclassified to the appropriate asset class. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and related accumulated
depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated
statements of operation and comprehensive loss. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets consist
of property and equipment. The Company continually evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate that the estimated
remaining useful life of its long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable.
If circumstances require that a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for impairment, the Company first compares the estimated undiscounted
future cash flows expected to result from the use or disposition of that asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying
amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment loss would be recognized
to the extent the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted
cash flow models, quoted market prices and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
Leases
Under lease guidance, arrangements
meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases. Operating leases are recorded in the condensed consolidated
balance sheets as both a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments at the rate implicit
in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate factoring the term of the lease. The incremental borrowing rate used by
the Company is an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized
basis over the term of the lease. Because the Company does not generally borrow on a collateralized basis, it uses the interest rate it
pays on its noncollateralized borrowings as an input to deriving an appropriate incremental borrowing rate, adjusted for the amount of
lease payments, the lease term and the effect on that rate of designating specific collateral with a value equal to the unpaid lease payments
for that lease. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right-of-use asset is amortized
over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset results in straight-line
rent expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred. In calculating the right-of-use assets and lease
liabilities, the Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial
terms of 12 months or less from the requirement to capitalize right-of-use assets and liabilities as an accounting policy election.
During the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any financing leases.
Warrant Liabilities
On September 11, 2023, in
conjunction with the Business Combination, the Company assumed the Public Warrants which have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, are
exercisable 30 days after the Business Combination and expire five years after the Business Combination or upon redemption. The Company
may redeem the Public Warrants if the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for 20 trading days within a 30-trading
day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the holders of Public
Warrants. As of September 30, 2024, there are 8,433,333 Public Warrants Outstanding. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase
one share of Company Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per full share. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, a holder of Public
Warrants may exercise its Public Warrants only for a whole number of shares of Company Common Stock. This means that only a whole warrant
may be exercised at any given time by a holder of Public Warrants. The Company maintains a redemption right with respect to the Public
Warrants in that the Company can redeem some or all of the Public Warrants for $0.10 per Public Warrant based on certain market conditions
and the market price of the Company Common Stock.
In September 2021, Legacy
Spectral issued 73,978 warrants, with a strike price of $7.32 and a five-year life, to SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP, who acted
as nominated adviser and broker to the Company for the purposes of the AIM Rules (“SP Angel Warrants”). In conjunction with
the Business Combination, the SP Angel Warrants were converted into warrants to purchase Company Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio.
As of September 30, 2024, there are 73,978 SP Angel Warrants to purchase Company Common Stock outstanding.
The Company accounts for
its Public Warrants and the SP Angel Warrants as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the instruments as liabilities
at fair value, determined using the closing price of the observable market quote in an active market (the NASDAQ) for the Public Warrants
and the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the SP Angel Warrants, and adjusts the instruments to fair value at the end of each reporting
period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, redeemed or expired, and any change
in fair value is recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations within other income (expense).
Research and Development Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue
when the Company’s customers obtain control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the
Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services by analyzing the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with
a customer(s); (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction
price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company generates research
and development revenue, primarily from the contracts with BARDA and MTEC. Each contract for BARDA and MTEC has a single performance obligation.
The contracts with BARDA
are cost-plus-fee contracts associated with development of certain product candidates. BARDA reimburses the Company based on allowable
costs plus any recognizable earned fee. Revenues from these reimbursable costs are recognized as the costs are incurred.
The MTEC Agreement provides
for installment payments after the completion of milestone events. The installment payments are considered variable consideration as the
entitlement depends on successful completion of research. However, the payments are not constrained from inclusion in the transaction
price as it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will be reversed when the underlying uncertainty is resolved.
Revenue for the MTEC Agreement is recognized over time based upon the cost-to-cost measure of progress, using this input method to measure
progress as the customer has the benefit of access to the development research under these projects and therefore benefits from the Company’s
performance incrementally as research and development activities occur under each project. The Company measures progress of performance
by comparing the actual costs incurred to-date to the total estimated cost of the project. The Company will adjust the measure of progress
at the end of each reporting period and reflect any changes to the estimated cost of the project on a prospective basis.
The Company elected the practical
expedient not to adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component as the period between performance (satisfaction
of a performance obligation) and payment is one year or less. Payments from customers are generally received within 30 days of when the
invoice is sent.
Research and Development Expense
The Company expenses research
and development costs as incurred. These expenses include salaries for research and development personnel, consulting fees, product development,
pre-clinical studies, clinical trial costs, and other fees and costs related to the development of the technology. For the three months
ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, research and development expense was $5.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of which $4.5 million
and $2.0 million, respectively, is related to the BARDA and MTEC contracts and included in cost of revenue and $0.7 million and $1.6 million,
respectively, is included in general and administrative expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, research and
development expense was $14.9 million and $11.3 million, respectively, of which $12.0 million and $7.3 million, respectively, is related
to the BARDA and MTEC contracts and included in cost of revenue and $2.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively, is included in general
and administrative expenses.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for
all stock-based payments to employees and non-employees, including grants of stock options and RSUs based on their respective grant date
fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The RSUs are valued
based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of RSUs with market based vesting conditions
were determined using a Monte-Carlo Simulation to reflect the effects of the market conditions. The assumptions used in calculating the
fair value of the Company’s stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and
the application of management’s judgment. The Company expenses stock-based compensation related to stock options and RSUs over the
requisite service period. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur. Compensation previously recorded for unvested equity awards that are
forfeited is reversed upon forfeiture. The Company expenses stock-based compensation to employees over the requisite service period, on
a straight-line basis, based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. For RSUs with market-based conditions, compensation
is not reversed if these awards are forfeited based solely on failing to meet such market-based conditions.
Income Taxes
The Company records its deferred
taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences
of events that have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates
in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided, if based upon the weight of
available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
When uncertain tax positions
exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit would more likely than not be realized assuming
examination by the taxing authority. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon
the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. The Company has no uncertain
tax positions as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated
financial statements under this guidance.
The Company’s policy
is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as general and administrative expenses
in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not have any interest and penalties during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and did not have any interest or penalties accrued as of September 30, 2024.
Net Loss per Share of Common Stock
Basic net loss per share
of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share of common stock adjusts basic earnings per share for the potentially dilutive
impact of unvested restricted stock, stock options and warrants. Securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net earnings per
share are excluded from the calculation. The dilutive effect of the unvested restricted stock and stock options is calculated using the
treasury stock method. For warrants that are liability-classified, during periods when the impact is dilutive, the Company assumes share
settlement of the instruments as of the beginning of the reporting period and adjusts the numerator to remove the change in fair value
of the warrant liability and adjusts the denominator to include the dilutive shares calculated using the treasury stock method.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss)
consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), which includes foreign currency translation adjustments. For the
purposes of comprehensive income (loss) disclosures, the Company does not record tax provisions or benefits for the net changes in the
foreign currency translation adjustment, as it intends to indefinitely reinvest undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. Accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss) is reported as a component of stockholders’ equity.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In September 2016, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, which was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-19, ASU No. 2019-04,
ASU No. 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, ASU No. 2019-11, ASU No. 2020-03, and ASU No. 2022-02. These ASUs have provided for various minor technical
corrections and improvements to the codification as well as other transition matters. Smaller reporting companies who file with the SEC
are required to apply the guidance for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022. This standard
requires the measurement of expected credit losses for financial instruments carried at amortized cost held at the reporting date based
on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. The updated guidance also amends the current other-than-temporary
impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities by requiring the recognition of impairments relating to credit losses through
an allowance account and limits the amount of credit loss to the difference between a security’s amortized cost basis and its fair
value. In addition, the length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position will no longer impact the determination of whether
a credit loss exists. The main objective of this ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about
the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting
date. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2023, with no impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures.
In August 2020, the
FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives
and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and
Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models
required under current GAAP. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for
the derivative scope exception, and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted
this standard on January 1, 2024, with no impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2022, the FASB
issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU
2022-03”). The FASB issued this update (1) to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring
the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) to amend
a related illustrative example, and (3) to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale
restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. For public business entities, the amendments in this update
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company
adopted this standard on January 1, 2024, with no impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2023, the FASB issued
ASU 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842) — Common Control Arrangements, which require that leasehold improvements associated with common
control leases be amortized by the lessee over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group (regardless of
the lease term) as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset. It also requires such leasehold improvements to be accounted
for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to entity if, and when, the lessee no longer controls the
use of the underlying asset. ASU 2023-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2024, with no impact on its condensed consolidated financial
statements and related disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In October 2023, the FASB
issued ASU 2023-06 Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification
Initiative (“ASU 2023-06”), which modifies certain disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the
Codification and is intended to both clarify or improve such requirements and align the requirements with the SEC’s regulations.
The effective date for each amendment is the effective date of the removal of the related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation
S-K, with early adoption prohibited. The Company will apply the provisions prospectively as such provisions become effective and does
not expect ASU 2023-06 to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB
issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07
updates reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information
used to assess segment performance. This update is effective for the Company in the consolidated financial statements for the year ending
December 31, 2024, and interim periods beginning after January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption
of this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB
issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires
more detailed income tax disclosures, requiring entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation
as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis,
with the option to apply them retrospectively. This update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with
early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its condensed
consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2024, the
FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic
220-40), requiring public business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to
financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The disclosures
required under the guidance can be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the
effective date or retrospectively to any or all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
3. RECAPITALIZATION
As discussed in Note 1, on
September 11, 2023, the Company consummated the Business Combination, with Legacy Spectral surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company.
On the date of the Business
Combination, the Company recorded net liabilities of $2.4 million, with an offsetting decrease to additional paid-in capital. The following
table provides the elements of the Business Combination:
Cash | |
$ | 660 | |
Other current assets | |
| 127 | |
Accounts payable | |
| (860 | ) |
Accrued expenses | |

| (2,374 | ) |
Less: Cash | |
| (660 | ) |
Non-cash net liabilities assumed in exchange for common stock | |
$ | (3,034 | ) |
Upon the Closing, the Company
issued 33,333 shares of Company Common Stock, with a fair value of $0.2 million, to settle an assumed liability to the Sponsor as a payment
for an administrative fee.
The Company recorded transaction
costs, consisting of legal, accounting and other professional services incurred by Legacy Spectral related to the Business Combination,
of $7.6 million (the “Transaction Costs”), in other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 2023 and no costs were capitalized. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company paid $1.9 million of Transaction
Costs in cash and issued 966,667 shares of Company Common Stock with a fair value of $4.4 million.
Prior to the Business Combination,
the Company incurred $0.7 million of transaction costs, included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations
for the year ended December 31, 2023, for professional services incurred by Legacy Spectral that were related to potential business combinations
that did not occur.
4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The following table presents
information about the Company’s financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024
and December 31, 2023, by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

There were no transfers between
Level 1, 2 or 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Fair values of cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term debt (other than the notes payable with Yorkville) are carried at cost,
which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Public Warrants,
which trade in active markets, is based on quoted market prices and classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The SP Angel Warrants
are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because their fair values are based on significant inputs that are unobservable
in the market.

Both observable and unobservable
inputs were used to determine the fair value of warrants that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. Unrealized gains
and losses associated with liabilities within the Level 3 category include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable
(e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.

Valuation of short-term
notes payable – Yorkville
The
Company elected the fair value option to account for the financial instrument with Yorkville signed on March 20, 2024 (see Note 7). The
estimate of the fair value as of September 30, 2024 was determined using a binomial lattice model. The fair value measurement of the debt
is determined using Level 3 inputs and assumptions unobservable in the market.
Changes
in the fair value of debt that is accounted for at fair value, inclusive of related accrued interest expense, are presented as gains or
losses as a component of other income (expense) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
loss under change in fair value of debt, with the exception of changes due to the Company’s credit risk, which are presented as
a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The actual settlement
of the short-term debt could differ from current estimates based on the timing of when and if Yorkville elects to convert amounts into
common shares, potential cash repayment by the Company prior to maturity, and movements in the Company’s common stock price.

Yorkville Convertible Notes
On March 20, 2024, the Company
entered into the SEPA with Yorkville pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Yorkville up to $30.0 million of its shares
of Company Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the
SEPA (such transaction, the “Yorkville Transaction”). In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the conditions set forth
therein, Yorkville has agreed to advance to the Company in the form of convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”)
an aggregate principal amount of up to $12.5 million (the “Pre-Paid Advance”), which will be paid in three tranches. The first
Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on March 20, 2024 in the amount of $5.0 million with a fixed conversion price of $3.16. The Company received
$4.6 million in cash, net of the 8% original issue discount. On May 14, 2024, the shareholders voted to approve the reservation and issuance
of shares to Yorkville to exceed the Exchange Cap and the second Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on May 16, 2024 in the amount of $4.6
million, which is the $5.0 million second Pre-Paid Advance net of $0.4 million of the 8% original issue discount, with a fixed conversion
price of $2.03. The third Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on July 17, 2024 in the principal amount of $2.5 million with a fixed conversion
price equal to 120% of the average VWAP during the three trading days immediately prior to the issuance of the note. The purchase price
for the Pre-Paid Advance is 92.0% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of
any Pre-Paid Advance at an annual rate equal to 0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the Convertible
Notes.
Beginning on the
forty-fifth (45th) day following the issuance date of the Convertible Note issued in connection with the first Pre-Paid Advance, and
continuing on the same day of each successive month thereafter, (each, an “Installment Date”), the Company shall repay a
portion of the outstanding balance of the Pre-Paid Advance in an amount equal to (i) $1,750,000, provided however, in respect of any
Installment Date prior to the closing of the second Pre-Paid Advance, $750,000 (the “Installment Principal Amount”),
plus (ii) the a payment premium of 7% of such Installment Principal Amount, and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest hereunder as of
each Installment Date. The maturity date of the Convertible Notes issued in connection with each Pre-Paid Advance will be 12 months
after the issuance date of such Convertible Notes. In October 2024, the Company and Yorkville agreed to amend the dates and the
allocation of installment amounts to be paid pursuant to the Pre-Paid Advances. As of September 30, 2024, Tranche’s I and
II’s had outstanding future obligations of $3.2 million which will be repaid in full by the contractual repayment date in
February 2025. Tranche III’s outstanding future obligations of $1.9 million will be repaid in full by the contractual
repayment date in January 2025. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has made aggregate installment payments on the Pre-Paid
Advances in the amount of $8.3 million, of which $7.2 million was settled in cash and $1.1 million was settled in shares. Of the
aggregate installment payments, $7.1 million relates to the repayment of the principal, $0.6 million relates to the 8% original
issue discount and $0.6 million relates to the 7% payment premium. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate outstanding principal
balance of the Yorkville Convertible Notes is $4.4 million.
As the SEPA is an
equity-linked contract that does not qualify for equity classification, any expenses incurred will be recognized in the consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive loss within borrowing related costs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company
recognized $0.2 million and $0.8 million in issuance costs related to the SEPA.
Related Party Note
On
March 19, 2024, the Company announced that Spectral IP received a $1.0 million investment from an affiliate of its largest shareholder
for the acquisition and development of a health care related artificial intelligence intellectual property portfolio. The investment is
structured as a note payable with a one-year maturity, at an interest rate of 8%, and requiring earlier prepayment if the Company spins
off Spectral IP to the Company’s shareholders or if Spectral IP is sold to a third party. See Note 15 for further information.
Insurance Notes
The Company determined that
the carrying amounts of all of the insurance notes approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of borrowings and current market
rates of interest.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
The Company is not a party
to any material legal proceedings or pending claims. The Company is aware of a material threatened claim that it believes is without merit.
From time to time, the Company may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business
activities, none of which we believe are material or would be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
9. LEASES
The Company leases office
space for its principal office in Dallas, Texas, which was amended in April 2024 to extend the lease term to expire in February 2028.
The lease amendment also included a landlord-provided tenant improvement allowance of up to $0.3 million to be applied to the costs of
the construction of leasehold improvements. The Company determined that it owns the leasehold improvements under the lease and, as such,
reflected the $0.3 million lease incentive as a reduction in lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. As of September 30, 2024, the
Company has not yet incurred any leasehold improvement costs that were paid for by the lessor.
During 2023, the Company
entered into a lease for office space in the United Kingdom for annual payments of $0.1 million under a lease that expired in March
2024. The lease was renewed in March 2024, however the Company has excluded this lease from the tables below as the term is twelve
months.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
In conjunction with the Closing,
the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to authorize the issuance of 80,000,000 shares of Company Common
Stock, $0.0001 par value and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Company Preferred Stock”).
On
December 26, 2023, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and related Registration
Rights Agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC (“B. Riley”). Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, in our sole discretion, to sell to B. Riley up to $10.0 million
in aggregate gross proceeds of newly issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “ELOC”). During the nine months
ended September 30, 2024 the Company issued 1,187,398 shares to B. Riley under the ELOC for $2.7 million in aggregate gross proceeds.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $0.4 million of related stock issuance costs and $0.1 million
of service fee costs which are included in transaction costs within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
loss. The Company did not issue any shares under the ELOC during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
On
March 20, 2024, the Company also entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands
exempt limited partnership (“Yorkville”) pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Yorkville up to $30.0 million
in shares of Company Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA (such transaction, the “Yorkville
Transaction”). In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Yorkville has agreed to advance to
the Company in the form of convertible promissory notes an aggregate principal amount of up to $12.5 million (the “Pre-Paid Advance”),
which will be paid in three tranches. The first Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on March 20, 2024 in the amount of $4.6 million, which
is the $5.0 million Pre-Paid Advance net of $0.4 million of the 8% original issue discount, with a fixed conversion price of $3.16. On
May 14, 2024, the shareholders voted to approve the reservation and issuance of shares to Yorkville to exceed the Exchange Cap and the
second Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on May 16, 2024 in the amount of $4.6 million, which is the $5.0 million second Pre-Paid Advance
net of $0.4 million of the 8% original issue discount, with a fixed conversion price of $2.03. The third Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed
on July 17, 2024 in the principal amount of $2.5 million. In connection with the execution and delivery of the SEPA, the Company is authorized
to drawdown an additional $3.0 million from the ELOC prior to utilizing the SEPA. The Company issued 94,937 shares of Company Common Stock
in April 2024 as a commitment fee under the SEPA. The Company also issued 906,706 shares as repayment of principal under the SEPA during
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Each option and warrant to
purchase common stock of Legacy Spectral was converted into an option and warrant, respectively, to purchase Spectral AI’s common
stock based on the Exchange Ratio, with corresponding adjustments to the exercise price. Accordingly, the options and warrants to purchase 46,592,862
and 762,712, respectively, shares of the common stock of Legacy Spectral were converted into options and warrants to purchase 4,519,191
and 73,978, respectively, shares of Spectral AI’s common stock. Legacy Spectral’s 600,000 RSUs were converted into 58,197
Spectral AI RSUs, based on the Exchange Ratio.
2018 Long Term Incentive Plan
On July 24, 2018, Legacy
Spectral’s Board of Directors adopted the 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) which permitted granting of
incentive stock options (which must meet all statutory requirements), non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted
stock, stock units, performance shares, performance units, incentive bonus awards, and other cash-based or stock-based awards. In May
2024, all awards outstanding under the 2018 Plan were replaced with corresponding awards to be issued pursuant to the 2023 Plan, as discussed
below, and no new grants will be made under the 2018 Plan.
2022 Long Term Incentive Plan
On September 27, 2022, Legacy
Spectral’s stockholders approved the adoption of the 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”) which permitted
granting of incentive stock options (they must meet all statutory requirements), non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock, stock units, performance shares, performance units, incentive bonus awards, and other cash-based or stock-based awards.
In May 2024, all awards outstanding under the 2022 Plan were replaced with corresponding awards to be issued pursuant to the 2023 Plan,
as discussed below, and no new grants will be made under the 2022 Plan.
2023 Long Term Incentive Plan
On May 14, 2024, the Company’s
shareholders approved the adoption of the 2023 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) which permits granting of incentive
stock options (they must meet all statutory requirements), non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock
units, performance shares, performance units, incentive bonus awards, and other cash-based or stock-based awards. The options, restricted
stock units and other securities issued pursuant to the 2018 Plan and 2022 Plan will be replaced with a corresponding award to be issued
pursuant to the 2023 Plan. No new grants will be made under the 2022 Plan and the 2018 Plan and all outstanding grants under the 2018
Plan and 2022 Plan will be assumed by the 2023 Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Plan shall not
exceed 8,000,000, plus the number of shares that are automatically added on January 1st of each year for a period of up to ten years,
commencing on January 1, 2024 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2033, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%)
of the total number of shares of stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year, and (ii) an amount determined by the
Board of Directors. Pursuant to the 2023 Plan, stock options must expire within 10 years and must be granted with exercise prices
of no less than the fair value of the common stock on the grant date, as determined by the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2024,
under the 2023 Plan, 3,786,191 shares of common stock were issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and 469,400 restricted stock
units (“RSUs”) were issuable. Under the 2023 Plan, 3,744,410 shares remain available for issuance through grants of future
options. RSUs awarded under the 2023 Plan for the purchase of common stock will vest based on continued service which is generally three
years or based on the achievement of market terms as set forth in the individual awards. The grant date fair value of the award will be
recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of the RSUs is estimated on the date of grant based
on the fair value of the Company’s common stock. The 2023 Plan provides that the Compensation Committee shall determine the vesting
conditions of awards granted under the 2023 Plan, and the Compensation Committee has from time-to-time approved vesting schedules for
certain awards that deviate from the vesting conditions described in the previous sentence.
Restricted Stock Units
On January 3, 2024, pursuant
to the 2022 Plan, the Company granted its then-CFO a market condition RSU of up to 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The award had a grant date fair value of approximately $0.4 million using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The RSUs under this market-based
award will vest partially based on achievement of stock price targets of the Company’s common stock. 50,000 RSUs vest when the 180-day
VWAP meets or exceeds $8.00 per share, 50,000 RSUs vest when the 180-day VWAP meets or exceeds $12.00 per share, and 50,000 RSUs are not
market-based and will vest over the continued service period of three years. These market-based conditions must be met in order for portions
of the RSU award to vest, and it is therefore possible that certain awards ultimately would not vest. The grant date fair value of each
RSU grant is expensed over the requisite service period. Compensation expense relating to share-based awards with market-based conditions
is not reversed if these awards are forfeited based solely on failing to meet such market-based conditions.
On February 29, 2024, pursuant
to the 2022 Plan, the Company granted both its CFO and CEO awards of RSUs up to 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The
awards had a grant date fair value of approximately $0.6 million using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The portion of RSUs that are market-based
awards will vest partially based on achievement of stock price targets of the Company’s common stock. 37,500 RSUs vest when the
180-day VWAP meets or exceeds $8.00 per share, 37,500 RSUs vest when the 180-day VWAP meets or exceeds $10.00 per share. The market-based
conditions must be met in order for the market-based portion of the RSU awards to vest, and it is therefore possible that certain awards
ultimately would not vest. 75,000 RSUs are not market-based and will vest over the continued service period of three years. The grant
date fair value of each RSU grant is expensed over the requisite service period. Compensation expense relating to share-based awards with
market-based conditions is not reversed if these awards are forfeited based solely on failing to meet such market-based conditions.
On February 29, 2024, the
Company amended the terms of the January 3, 2024 RSU grant to its then-CFO to provide for identical vesting terms to those provided in
the February 29, 2024 RSU grant. The Company determined the amended RSU grant represents a modification of the original award, however,
the incremental compensation cost of the amendment was not material.
A summary of RSU activities
for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are presented below:
| |
Number of Shares | | |
Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share | |
Nonvested as of January 1, 2024 | |

During the nine months ended
September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company granted 450,000 and 58,197 restricted stock units, respectively, with a weighted-average grant
date fair value of $2.16 per share and $4.65 per share, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense
related to restricted stock units was $0.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
Stock Options
The fair value of each employee
and non-employee stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Legacy Spectral’s
stock became publicly traded on July 22, 2021 on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange, and lacks company-specific historical and
implied volatility information. On September 11, 2023 the Company completed the Business Combination and was listed on NASDAQ under the
symbol MDAI. Legacy Spectral estimated its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer
companies. Spectral AI continues to estimate its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set
of peer companies. Due to the lack of historical exercise history, the expected term of Legacy Spectral’s and Spectral AI’s
stock options for employees has been determined utilizing the simplified method by taking an average of the vesting periods and the original
contractual terms for each award. The expected term of stock options granted to non-employees is equal to the contractual term of the
option award. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the US. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of
the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is zero based on the
fact that Legacy Spectral and Spectral AI have never paid cash dividends and Spectral AI does not expect to pay any cash dividends in
the foreseeable future.
The Company’s stock
options generally vest ratably annually over 3 years and have a contractual term of 10 years. In applying the Black Scholes option pricing
model, the Company used the following assumptions for stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:
| | Nine months ended September 30, 2024 | | | Nine months ended September 30, 2023 | |
Exercise price (per share) | | $ | 1.76 | | | $ | 0.44 | |
Expected term (years) | | | 5.6 | | | | 6.0 | |
Volatility (annual) | | | 66 | % | | | 72 | % |
Risk-free rate | | | 4.3 | % | | | 3.5 | % |
Dividend yield (per share) | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % |
A summary of stock options
activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is presented below:
| | Stock Options | | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | | | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years) | | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) | |
Outstanding at January 1, 2024 | | | 3,598,944 | | | $ | 2.20 | | | | 6.5 | | | $ | 8,087 | |
Options granted | | | 443,437 | | | $ | 1.76 | | | | | | | | | |
Options forfeited | | | (133,441 | ) | | $ | 4.07 | | | | | | | | | |

Options exercised | | | - | | | $ | - | | | | | | | | | |
Outstanding as of September 30, 2024 | | | 3,786,191 | | | $ | 1.99 | | | | 6.1 | | | $ | 18 | |
Options vested and exercisable as of September 30, 2024 | | | 3,186,977 | | | $ | 1.79 | | | | 5.6 | | | $ | 18 | |
The aggregate intrinsic value
of options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the stock options and the fair value of the Company’s common
stock for those stock options that had exercise prices lower than the fair value of the common stock as of the respective date.
As of September 30, 2024,
there was approximately $0.8 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation related to stock option grants that will be amortized
over a weighted average period of 0.9 years.
The Company recorded stock-based
compensation expense for stock options, RSUs, and restricted stock awards of $0.2 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.3 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2023, respectively, in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
During the year ended December
31, 2018, the Company granted 973,803 stock options to investors (the “Investor Options”) that were approved by the Board
of Directors outside of the 2018 Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2023, 34,779 of the Investor Options were exercised and the
remaining 904,245 Investor Options expired in November 2023. The Investor Options had an exercise price of $2.06 per share.
As of September 30, 2024, there is no unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the Investor Options.
12. INCOME TAXES
The
Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $37,338 and $128,406 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024,
respectively and an income tax benefit of approximately $54,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and an income tax provision
of approximately $32,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The effective tax rate was 2.5% and 1.7% for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2024, respectively and (0.5%) and 0.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
The
tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete
items arising in that quarter. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate in the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to changes in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that the
Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The
Company evaluates its tax positions on a quarterly basis and revises its estimate accordingly.
13. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic and diluted net loss
per common share attributable to common stockholders are the same for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, since
the inclusion of all potential shares of common stock outstanding would have been anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss.
The table below summarizes
potentially dilutive securities that were excluded from the computation of net loss per common share as of the periods presented because
including them would be anti-dilutive.

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On March 7, 2024, the Company
formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Spectral IP, to be utilized to advance artificial intelligent intellectual property with a specific
emphasis on healthcare. On March 19, 2024, the Company announced that Spectral IP received a $1.0 million investment from an affiliate
of its largest shareholder for the development of its artificial intelligence intellectual property portfolio. The investment is structured
as a note payable with a one-year maturity, an interest rate of 8%, and requiring earlier prepayment if the Company spins off Spectral
IP to the Company’s shareholders or if Spectral IP is sold to a third party (the “Note”). See Note 15 for further information.
For the year ended December
31, 2023, the Company did not have any transactions with related parties.
15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 1, 2024, the Related
Party Note was amended to (i) reduce the annual interest rate from 8% to 4%, (ii) extend the term of the Note through the second anniversary
of the issuance date, March 18, 2026, (iii) include a conversion feature at the option of either IP Protocol or Spectral IP to convert
the then outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest into shares of the Company at any time (into such number of shares calculated
by taking a five percent (5.00%) discount to the closing price of the Parent’s common stock on the day prior to the date of notice
to the Company of the exercise of the conversion right) and at maturity, respectively, and (iv) provide for registration rights of any
shares of the Company issued in satisfaction of the outstanding obligations.
On October 1, 2024, the Company and Yorkville

Exchange Commission, regulatory approvals, and the satisfaction of any remaining closing conditions.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”). Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis
or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in the
section titled “Risk Factors,” in our 2023 Annual Report and in other reports we have filed or may file with the SEC, our
actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following
discussion and analysis.
Overview
We are an artificial intelligence
(“AI”) company focused on predictive medical diagnostics. We operate in one segment. Currently, we are devoting substantially
all of our efforts towards research and development of our DeepView® System, an internally developed multi-spectral imaging
device that has previously received FDA breakthrough device designation status for an earlier version. Given our recent receipt of the
UKCA mark for burn indication on our DeepView® System, we expect to begin commercialization activities in the United Kingdom
in the second half of 2024. Our DeepView® System uses proprietary algorithms to distinguish between damaged and healthy
human tissue invisible to the naked eye, providing “Day One” healing assessments. DeepView’s output is specifically
engineered to allow the physician to make a more accurate, timely and informed decision regarding the treatment of the patient’s
wound. Our focus from 2013 through 2021 was on the burn indication, which we expanded to also include the diabetic foot ulcer (“DFU”)
indication in 2022.
For burn wounds, a non-healing assessment
could aid the clinician in making an immediate and objective determination for appropriate candidates for surgery, as well as determining
what specific areas of the burn wound will require excision and skin grafting. We have conducted three large clinical studies with
multiple sites across the United States, enrolling 413 burn patients, including 329 adult and 84 pediatric patients. Through these studies,
we were able to quantify the burn assessment accuracy in patients undergoing both surgical and non-surgical treatment. In December
2023 we initiated a pivotal clinical study seeking enrollment of 240 patients, including 180 adult and 60 pediatric patients through multiple
sites across the United States in both burn center and emergency departments. By the end of the third quarter of 2024, the Company had
completed the enrollment of 169 patients at burn centers, finishing that portion of the overall study.
In the case of DFUs,
our DeepView® System provides an assessment in seconds as to the non-healing portions of a DFU. The non-healing assessment could
provide the physician with an objective assessment to use an advanced wound care therapy on “Day One” as opposed to the current
approach that involves waiting up to 30 days to see how the wound develops before making such clinical assessment.
We have not generated any
product revenue to date. We have received substantial support from the U.S. government for our DeepView® System ’s application
for burn wounds, particularly from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”),
which is part of the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response in the United States, established to aid
in securing the United States from chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats, as well as from pandemic influenza and
emerging infectious diseases. We have also received funding from the National Science Foundation (the “NSF”), the National
Institute of Health (the “NIH”) and the Defense Health Agency (the “DHA”). Since 2013, we have received approximately
$281.0 million in funding awards from government contracts, primarily from BARDA, which accounts for $272.9 million. This has allowed
us to develop our technology and further our clinical trials.
In September 2023, we executed
our third contract with BARDA for a multi-year Project BioShield (“PBS”) agreement, valued at up to approximately $150.0 million
(the “PBS BARDA Contract”). This multi-year contract includes an initial award of nearly $54.9 million to support the clinical
validation and FDA clearance of DeepView® for commercial marketing and distribution purposes, which we expect to continue through
the first quarter of 2026. This contract funding is non-dilutive to our shareholders, and we believe it validates the important nature
of our mission and technology.
In addition to our PBS BARDA
Contract, we received a $4.0 million grant award from the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (“MTEC”) in April
2023, which, building on prior awards from DHA, is to be used to support military battlefield burn evaluation via a handheld version of
the DeepView® System (the “MTEC Agreement”). In August 2024, the MTEC award was increased to $4.9 million and
is currently intended to run through December 2025 with funding dependent on various milestones. In September 2024, we received an additional
$0.9 million from MTEC for further development of the handheld device. In March 2024, we received an additional $0.5 million award from
the Defense Health Agency to further this development.
Once commercialized, we anticipate
that the DeepView® System will have two revenue streams, a SaMD (software as a medical device) model, and an imaging device
component. The SaMD model applies a SaaS (software as a service) treatment for the DeepView® System which will feature
a software licensing fee that includes maintenance, image hosting, and access to algorithm updates. The proprietary imaging device accesses
artificial intelligence algorithms and is a universal platform to house multiple clinical applications. Pricing for these components will
be evaluated and strategically set per country and site-of-service for heightened customer adoption.
Business Combination
On September 11, 2023, we
consummated a business combination, pursuant to the business combination agreement dated April 11,
2023 by and among the Company (previously, Rosecliff Acquisition Corp I (“Rosecliff”)), Ghost Merger Sub I (a wholly owned
subsidiary of Rosecliff), Ghost Merger Sub II (a wholly owned subsidiary of Rosecliff) and Spectral MD Holdings, Ltd. (“Legacy Spectral”).
Upon the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), in sequential order: (a) Ghost Merger Sub I merged with and
into Legacy Spectral, with Legacy Spectral continuing as the surviving company as our wholly owned subsidiary (the “Spectral Merger”)
and then, (b) Legacy Spectral merged with and into Ghost Merger Sub II (the “SPAC Merger”, together with the Spectral Merger
(the “Business Combination”)), with Ghost Merger Sub II (renamed Spectral MD Holdings LLC) surviving the SPAC Merger as our
direct wholly-owned subsidiary. Upon the Closing, we changed our name from Rosecliff Acquisition Corp I to Spectral AI, Inc.
In addition to our Common Stock, we currently have 8,433,333 redeemable warrants (the “Public Warrants”) and 73,978 warrants
(“SP Angel Warrants”) to SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP remaining outstanding.
On
September 12, 2023, the Company began trading its shares of the Company Common Stock and the Public Warrants on the Nasdaq Global Market
(the “Nasdaq”) under the symbols “MDAI” and “MDAIW”, respectively.
The Business Combination
was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
805, Business Combinations, Rosecliff, which is the legal acquirer, has been treated as the “acquired” company for
financial reporting purposes and the Company has been treated as the accounting acquirer. This determination was primarily based on the
following:
|
(i) |
Legacy Spectral’s former shareholders maintained a majority of the voting power of the Company; |
|
(ii) |
Legacy Spectral’s senior management comprises all of the senior management of the Company; |
|
(iii) |
Legacy Spectral selected five of the six of the directors for the Board of Directors of the Company; |
|
(iv) |
Legacy Spectral’s relative size of assets and operations compared to Rosecliff; and |
|
(v) |
Legacy Spectral’s operations comprised the ongoing operations of the Company. |
Accordingly, for accounting
purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which Legacy Spectral issued stock for the
net assets of Rosecliff prior to the Closing. Upon the Closing, the net assets of Rosecliff are stated at fair value, with no goodwill
or other intangible assets recorded. All historical financial information presented in the consolidated
financial statements represents the accounts of Legacy Spectral at their historical cost as if Legacy Spectral is the predecessor to the
Company. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Spectral AI has continued as an SEC-registered and Nasdaq-listed company.
The consolidated financial statements following the Closing reflect the results of the Combined
Company’s operations.
Key Operating and Financial Metrics
We regularly review a number
of metrics, including the following key operating and financial metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends
in our business, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions. We believe the operating and financial metrics presented
are useful in evaluating our operating performance, as they are similar to measures by our public competitors and are regularly used by
security analysts, institutional investors, and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Adjusted EBITDA
is a non-GAAP measure, as it is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute
for net (loss) income, calculated in accordance with GAAP. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information
on adopted non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.

Research and Development Revenue
We define research and development
revenue as revenue generated from the research, testing and development of our DeepView® System as utilized in connection with our
burn indication. This research and development revenue reflects applied research and experimental development costs relating to our burn
application as developed in connection with our BARDA, MTEC, and DHA contracts.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
We define gross profit as
research and development revenue, less cost of revenue, and define gross margin, expressed as a percentage, as the ratio of gross profit
to revenue. Gross profit and gross margin can be used to understand our financial performance and efficiency and as we begin commercialization,
it will allow investors to evaluate our pricing strategy and compare against our competitors. Our management uses these metrics to make
strategic decisions, pricing decisions, identify areas for improvement, set targets for future performance and make informed decisions
about how to allocate resources going forward.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define adjusted earnings
before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as net loss excluding income taxes, depreciation of
property and equipment, net interest income, stock compensation, transaction costs and any non-operating financial income and expense.
See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDA.
Key Factors that May Influence Future Results
of Operations
Our financial results of
operations may not be comparable from period to period due to several factors. Key factors affecting our results of operations are summarized
below.
Revenue Sources. As
a pre-commercialization company, we currently generate revenue almost exclusively from two U.S. governmental agencies. We are
highly dependent upon the continuation of the existing U.S. governmental contract awards, as well as future governmental procurement
or other awards. Our operating results may not be comparable between periods as the timing and amount of awards or procurements from the
U.S. government may be inconsistent with the timing of prior awards and the phasing of the development study schedules may be different.
Our revenues may continue to be almost exclusively dependent upon the terms of those awards.
Gross Margin. When
we begin commercial sales of the DeepView® System , we may need to determine lower pricing and incentives to accelerate adoption and
implementation of the DeepView® System , which may negatively impact future revenue and gross margin percentages.
Managing our Supply Chain. We
are reliant on contract manufacturers and suppliers to produce our components. While we have not been subject to any disruptions in our
current limited production, we may be subject to component shortages, which may cause delays in critical components and inventory, longer
lead times, increased costs and delays in product shipments. Our ability to grow depends, in part, on the ability of our contract manufacturers
and suppliers to provide high quality services and deliver components and finished products on time and at reasonable costs. While we
do not maintain sole-source suppliers, there is a concentration of suppliers which could lead to supply shortages, long lead times
for components and supply changes. In the event we are unable to mitigate the impact of delays and/or price increases in raw materials,
electronic components and freight, it could delay the manufacturing and installation of our products, which would adversely impact our
cash flows and results of operations, including revenue and gross margin.
Components of Consolidated Statements of
Operations
Research and Development Revenue
Our
primary source of revenue is research and development revenue. Currently, we are highly dependent upon the reimbursements from BARDA for
the burn diagnostic testing of our DeepView® System. Our research and development revenue is affected by the amount of research and
development that is expended each month with respect to our PBS BARDA Contract and other U.S. governmental contract awards. During
2023, we received a grant under the MTEC Agreement, which we earn based on the achievement of milestones. Our revenue growth is dependent
on a number of factors including expanding the research and development expense under the PBS BARDA Contract, research and development
reimbursed expenses relating to other contract awards from U.S. governmental agencies and the intended future commercial sales of
our DeepView® System.
Cost of Revenue
Our
cost of revenue consists primarily of direct and indirect costs associated with the research and development expenses relating to the
PBS BARDA Contract and MTEC Agreement. Our cost of revenue is affected by the extent of research and development expenses as well as expansion
of work on other U.S. governmental projects and the expanded applications for our DeepView® System.
Gross Profit
Gross
profit may vary from period-to-period and is primarily affected by the current reimbursement rates under the PBS BARDA Contract and
other U.S. governmental contract awards, as well as the percentage of revenue related to the PBS BARDA Contract as compared to the
MTEC project. These reimbursement rates are fixed under each contact award. Our gross profit represents this reimbursement rate plus a
variable component relating to non-reimbursed expenses incurred in connection with the work completed on these contracts.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Operating
costs and expenses consist of general and administrative expense. These expenses primarily relate to salaries and related costs of our
organization’s support and operations staff, consulting fees, rent, insurance and office expenses, and our non-revenue generating
research and development expenses, primarily related to salaries and related costs and consulting fees.
Other income (expense)
In
2024, other income (expense) consists of fees incurred in connection with the Yorkville transaction and B. Riley purchase agreement, net
interest income, borrowing related costs related to the Yorkville convertible notes, change in fair value of notes payable, change in
fair value of warrant liabilities, changes in fair value of derivatives, and foreign exchange transaction gains/losses. In 2023, other
income (expense) consists of transaction costs related to the Business Combination, net interest income, change in fair value of warrant
liabilities and foreign exchange transaction gain/losses. Historic foreign exchange transaction loss primarily relates to changes in the
exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the British pound sterling for our deposit accounts that are denominated in British pound
sterling. In addition, this amount includes costs associated with buying British pound sterling for payment of our employees and vendors
in the UK.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use Adjusted EBITDA as
a non-GAAP metric when measuring performance, including when measuring current period results against prior periods’ Adjusted EBITDA. This
non-GAAP financial measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as
a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indicator of our operating
performance, liquidity or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities, as there may be significant factors or
trends that it fails to address.
Because of their non-standardized
definitions, non-GAAP measures (unlike GAAP measures) may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies.
We caution investors that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions. Supplemental
non-GAAP measures are presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how Spectral AI’s management assesses underlying
performance.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA
as net loss excluding income taxes, depreciation of property and equipment, net interest income, stock compensation, transaction costs
and any non-operating financial income and expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately $3.7 million in cash,
short-term notes payable of $5.0 million, and $1.0 million of long-term debt. We had an accumulated deficit of approximately $40.3 million.
Included in our cash balance is $0.9 million in cash in the Company’s newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary Spectral IP, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“Spectral IP”) which was formed on March 7, 2024. See Notes 7 and 15 for further information.
On December 26, 2023, we
entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement and related Registration Rights Agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC (“B.
Riley”). Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the
Company has the right, in our sole discretion, to sell to B. Riley up to $10.0 million in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued
shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “ELOC”).
On March 20, 2024, the Company
also entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership
(“Yorkville”) pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Yorkville up to $30.0 million of its shares of Common
Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA. In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the conditions
set forth therein, Yorkville has agreed to advance to the Company in the form of convertible promissory notes an aggregate principal amount
of up to $12.5 million (the “Pre-Paid Advance”), which will be paid in three tranches. The first Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed
on March 20, 2024 in the amount of $5.0 million with a fixed conversion price of $3.16. The Company received $4.6 million in cash, net
of the 8% original issue discount. On May 14, 2024, the shareholders voted to approve the reservation and issuance of shares to Yorkville
to exceed the Exchange Cap and the second Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on May 16, 2024 in the amount of $4.6 million, which is the $5.0
million second Pre-Paid Advance net of $0.4 million of the 8% original issue discount, with a fixed conversion price of $2.03. The third
Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on July 17, 2024 in the principal amount of $2.5 million. In connection with the execution and delivery
of the SEPA, the Company may also drawdown $3.0 million from the ELOC prior to utilizing the SEPA.
We
have historically funded our operations through the issuance of notes and the sale of preferred stock and common stock, along with payments
under governmental contracts for research and development activity.
In September 2023, the Company
executed its third contract with BARDA for a multi-year PBS BARDA Contract, valued at up to approximately $150.0 million. This multi-year
contract includes an initial award of nearly $54.9 million to support the clinical validation and FDA clearance of DeepView® for
commercial development and distribution purposes. The Company completed the second contract with BARDA, referred to as BARDA Burn II,
which was signed in July 2019 and completed in November 2023. Under this contract, the Company furthered the DeepView® System
design, developed the AI algorithm, and took steps to obtain FDA approval.
In
April 2023, the Company received a $4.0 million grant under the MTEC Agreement, which was increased to $4.9 million in August
2024 and is currently intended to run through December 2025. The MTEC Agreement is for the development
of a handheld version of the DeepView® System which is to be used to support military battlefield burn evaluation.
The project has three phases, beginning with planning, design and testing; followed by development, design modification and buildout of
the handheld device; and then the manufacturing of the handheld device.
Based on our current operating
plan, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents, together with the PBS BARDA Contract, the MTEC Agreement, the B. Riley ELOC, and
the Yorkville Transaction, will be sufficient to fund operations for at least one year beyond the release date of these condensed consolidated
financial statements. We have based this determination on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital
resources sooner than we currently expect. The Company could utilize cost-savings measures to limit the expenditures of our DFU indication
to conserve our working capital and to focus our efforts primarily on the burn indication. Changing circumstances could also cause us
to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to raise capital sooner or in greater amounts than
currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control. Changes in the current equity markets may also limit our ability to utilize
the B. Riley ELOC and Yorkville Transaction as currently structured. To the extent additional capital is necessary, there are no assurances
that we will be able to raise additional capital on favorable terms or at all, and therefore we may not be able to execute our business
plans and the continued work on indications beyond expanding our burn indication.’
Our future capital requirements
will depend on many factors, including the revenue growth rate, the success of future product development and capital investment required,
and the timing and extent of spending to support further sales and marketing and research and development efforts. In addition, we expect
to incur additional costs as a result of operating as a U.S. public company. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired,
our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Cash Flows
The
following table summarizes our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):
| |
Nine months ended September 30, | |
| |
2024 | | |
2023 | |
Net cash used in operating activities | |
$ | (9,668 | ) | |
$ | (10,865 | ) |
Net cash provided by financing activities | |
| 8,567 | | |
| 4,039 | |
Cash Flows Used in
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities increased by approximately $1.2 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily driven by changes in operating
liabilities including accrued expenses and deferred revenue, partially offset by a decrease in net loss. The lower net loss is a result
of higher research and development revenue due to increased BARDA activity and lower non-operating transaction costs in the nine months
ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
Cash Flows Provided
by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased approximately $4.5 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This was primarily attributable to
the proceeds of $2.7 million from the ELOC, proceeds of $12.5 received from notes payable principally from the Pre-Paid Advances under
the SEPA, partially offset by $6.6 million of repayments of notes payable as compared to proceeds of $3.4 million from the issuance of
Common Stock and operating cash received upon closing of the Business Combination of $0.7 million during the nine months ended September
30, 2023.
Current Indebtedness
On March 20, 2024, the Company
entered into the SEPA with Yorkville pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Yorkville up to $30.0 million of its shares
of Company Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the
SEPA (such transaction, the “Yorkville Transaction”). In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the conditions set forth
therein, Yorkville has agreed to advance to the Company in the form of convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”)
an aggregate principal amount of up to $12.5 million (the “Pre-Paid Advance”), which will be paid in three tranches. The first
Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on March 20, 2024 in the amount of $5.0 million with a fixed conversion price of $3.16. The Company received
$4.6 million in cash, net of the 8% original issue discount. On May 14, 2024, the shareholders voted to approve the reservation and issuance
of shares to Yorkville to exceed the Exchange Cap and the second Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on May 16, 2024 in the amount of $4.6
million, which is the $5.0 million second Pre-Paid Advance net of $0.4 million of the 8% original issue discount, with a fixed conversion
price of $2.03. The third Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on July 17, 2024 in the principal amount of $2.5 million with a fixed conversion
price equal to 120% of the average VWAP during the three trading days immediately prior to the issuance of the note. The purchase price
for the Pre-Paid Advance is 92.0% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of
any Pre-Paid Advance at an annual rate equal to 0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the Convertible
Notes.
Beginning on the forty-fifth
(45th) day following the issuance date of the Convertible Note issued in connection with the first Pre-Paid Advance, and continuing on
the same day of each successive month thereafter, (each, an “Installment Date”), the Company shall repay a portion of the
outstanding balance of the Pre-Paid Advance in an amount equal to (i) $1,750,000, plus (ii) the a payment premium of 7% of such Installment
Principal Amount, and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest hereunder as of each Installment Date. The maturity date of the Convertible Notes
issue in connection with each Pre-Paid Advance will be 12 months after the issuance date of such Convertible Notes. In October 2024, the
Company and Yorkville agreed to amend the dates and the allocation of installment amounts to be paid pursuant to the Pre-Paid Advances,
such that the outstanding balance of the Pre-Paid Advances is to be paid by February 2025. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has made
aggregate installment payments on the Pre-Paid Advances in the amount of $8.3 million, of which $7.2 million was settled in cash and $2.1
million was settled in shares. Of the aggregate installment payments, $7.1 million relates to the repayment of the principal, $0.6 million
relates to the 8% original issue discount and $0.6 million relates to the 7% payment premium.
Related Party Transactions
On March 7, 2024, the Company formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary,
Spectral IP, to be utilized to acquire artificial intelligent intellectual property with a specific emphasis on healthcare. On March 19,
2024, the Company announced that Spectral IP received a $1.0 million investment from an affiliate of its largest shareholder for the development
of its artificial intelligence intellectual property portfolio. The investment is structured as a note payable with a one-year maturity,
an interest rate of 8%, and requiring earlier prepayment if the Company spins off Spectral IP to the Company’s shareholders or if
Spectral IP is sold to a third party. See Note 15 for further information.
Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
During
the periods presented, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.
Critical Accounting
Policies
Our
management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated
financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation
of these condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, costs and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial
statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates which include, but are not limited to, accrued expenses,
stock-based compensation expense, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various
other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our
critical accounting policies are described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2023, which was filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
See
Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere
in this Form 10-Q for recently adopted accounting standards and recently issued accounting standards as of the dates of the statement
of financial position included in this Form 10-Q.
Emerging Growth Company
We
are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of
an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company
to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to
use the extended transition period under the JOBS Act for the adoption of certain accounting standards until the earlier of the date we
(i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period
provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply more promptly with new
or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
In
addition, as an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise
applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:
|
● |
being permitted to present only two years of audited consolidated financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, with correspondingly reduced disclosure in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”; |
|
● |
an exception from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended; |
|
● |
reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; |
|
● |
exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and |
We
may take advantage of these provisions until the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of the Company’s
initial public offering or such earlier time that we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company. We will cease to qualify as an emerging
growth company on the date that is the earliest of: (i) December 31, 2026; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more
than $1.235 billion in total annual gross revenues; (iii) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer”
under the rules of the SEC, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as
of the prior September 30th and we have been a public company for at least 12 months and have filed one annual report on Form 10-K; or
(iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over the prior three-year period. We may choose to
take advantage of some but not all of these reduced reporting burdens. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different
than you might obtain from other public companies in which you hold equity interests.
We are also a “smaller
reporting company.” If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue
to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller
reporting company, we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited consolidated financial statements in our
Annual Report and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive
compensation.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We
are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include interest rate, foreign exchange, credit
and inflation risks.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
We
maintain a large amount of our assets in cash. Our cash is held primarily in cash deposits. The fair value of our cash would not be significantly
affected by either an increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of these instruments. Additionally, changes
to interest rates will impact on the cost of any future borrowings. With respect to our current borrowings, the interest rates on the
notes are fixed. Changes in prevailing interest rates could have a material impact on our results of operations.
Foreign Currency
Risk
Our
revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars. Our expenses are generally denominated in the currencies in which our operations are located,
which is primarily in the United States and UK, with an insignificant portion of expenses incurred in our wholly owned subsidiaries
in the UK and denominated in British pound sterling.
Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The vast majority of our
cash is held in U.S. financial institutions which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. We have not recognized any losses from
credit risks on such accounts. We believe we are not exposed to significant credit risk on cash.
Additional
credit risk is related to our concentration of receivables and revenues. One customer (which is a U.S. government agency) represents
the majority of our research and development revenue and accounts receivable.
Inflation Risk
The
recent increase in inflation partially contributed to the increase in the cost of our research and development as well as operating costs.
If the cost of our products, employee costs, or other costs continue to be subject to significant inflationary pressures, such inflationary
pressure may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative
expense. As a result, our inability to quickly respond to inflation could harm our cash flows and results of operations in the future.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including
our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period
covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on management’s evaluation as of the quarter ended September 30, 2024, our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting as described below and in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September
30, 2024. In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, we identified
material weaknesses in: (i) lack of communication within management and internal departments regarding complex and unusual arrangements.
This resulted in communication failures of relevant facts necessary for the accounting group to properly conclude and apply the required
accounting treatment of certain stock transactions; (ii) the Company did not maintain adequately designed controls to ensure the proper
recording of operating expenses, related accruals and unbilled revenue in the correct period. As a result, certain control activities
in the accrual and unbilled revenue processes were not designed and implemented effectively; and (iii) our financial statement close process
controls which relate to all financial statement accounts, did not consistently operate effectively or lacked appropriate evidence, to
ensure account reconciliations, transactions, and journal entries were performed or reviewed at the appropriate level of precision and
on a timely basis. These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that would not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis, and accordingly, we determined that these control deficiencies in aggregate constitute a material
weakness.
Notwithstanding the identified
material weaknesses, our management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods
presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses
Remediation generally requires
making changes to how controls are designed and implemented and then adhering to those changes for a sufficient period of time such that
the effectiveness of those changes is demonstrated with an appropriate amount of consistency. In response to the material weaknesses,
we implemented, and are continuing to implement, measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting. These efforts
include:
|
● |
engaging a professional accounting services firm to help us assess and document our internal controls for complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; |
|
● |
strengthening, formalizing, documenting and testing accounting processes and internal controls, specifically regarding accrued expenses and contract reviews and improving the information flow throughout the organization to allow for timely communication of new agreements and transactions; |
|
● |
enhancing functionality of our enterprise resource planning system to support certain key financial processes and controls and enforce certain segregation of duties through automation and approval workflows. |
The measures we are implementing
are subject to continued management review supported by confirmation and testing, as well as audit committee oversight. Management and
the Audit Committee remain committed to the implementation of remediation efforts to address the material weaknesses. We will continue
to implement measures to remedy our internal control deficiencies, though there can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful
or avoid potential future material weaknesses. In addition, until remediation steps have been completed and are operated for a sufficient
period of time, and subsequent evaluation of their effectiveness is completed, the material weaknesses previously disclosed, and as described
above, will continue to exist.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
Except for the remediation
efforts in connection with the material weaknesses described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In September 2024, we received
a letter with a draft Particulars of a Complaint from Stifel in which Stifel contends that the Company owes Stifel approximately $2,550,000
pursuant to a previous engagement letter entered into with Stifel on November 15, 2021 (the “Engagement Letter”). Stifel alleges
that the Engagement Letter entitles them to a percentage of the value of the Company’s Business Combination with Rosecliff. The
Company further believes that we have substantial factual, legal and contractual defenses to the claims presented and will vigorously
contest the claims, if ultimately brought. The Company also believes it has meritorious claims it is entitled to assert against Stifel
and one or more of its representatives. However, the results of litigation are inherently unpredictable and the possibility exists
that the ultimate resolution of this matter could result in a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Factors that could cause
our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report include the risk factors described in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024 and in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on January 5, 2024, as
amended. Any of those factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form
10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2024, in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on January 5, 2024, as amended,
and in the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on October 16, 2024, except as listed below. We may disclose changes
to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
The Company is not currently
in compliance with the continued listing requirements for The Nasdaq Stock Market. If the Company does not regain compliance and continue
to meet the continued listing requirements, the Common Stock may be delisted, which could affect the market price and liquidity for the
Company’s Common Stock and reduce the Company’s ability to raise additional capital. On June 3, 2024, the Company received
a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company was not in compliance
with the requirement of Rule 5550(b)(2) relating to the maintenance of a minimum market value of its listed securities of $35.0 million
for the last 31 consecutive business days. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has 180 calendar days from receipt
of a notice from Nasdaq (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the market value of listed securities requirement.
If at any time before December 2, 2024, the closing market capitalization of the Company’s Common Stock closes at or above $35.0
million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, subject to Nasdaq’s discretion to extend this period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5810(c)(3)(G) to 20 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance
with the minimum market capitalization requirement, and the matter would be resolved. If the Company does not regain compliance during
the review period ending December 2, 2024, then Nasdaq may grant the Company a second 180 calendar day period to regain compliance, provided
the Company meets the continued listing requirement for all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq, other than the minimum market
value of listed securities requirement, and notifies Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency.
Although alternative public
and private transaction structures may be available, these may require additional time and cost, may impose operational restrictions on
the Company, and may not be available on attractive terms. The Company’s inability to continue to raise capital with its Common
Stock as listed on Nasdaq will harm its business, financial condition and results of operations, and will likely cause the Company’s
stock value to further decline.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
and Use of Proceeds
Yorkville Standby Equity Purchase Agreement
On March 20, 2024, the Company
entered into the Yorkville Transaction pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Yorkville up to $30.0 million of its shares
of Company Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the
SEPA. In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Yorkville has agreed to advance to the Company in
the form of the Convertible Notes an aggregate principal amount of up to $12.5 million (the “Pre-Paid Advance”), which will
be paid in three tranches. The first Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on March 20, 2024 in the amount of $5.0 million with a fixed conversion
price of $3.16. The Company received $4.6 million in cash, net of the 8% original issue discount. On May 14, 2024, the shareholders voted
to approve the reservation and issuance of shares to Yorkville to exceed the Exchange Cap and the second Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed
on May 16, 2024 in the amount of $4.6 million, which is the $5.0 million second Pre-Paid Advance net of $0.4 million of the 8% original
issue discount, with a fixed conversion price of $2.03. The third Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on July 17, 2024 in the principal amount
of $2.5 million with a fixed conversion price equal to 120% of the average VWAP during the three trading days immediately prior to the
issuance of the note. The purchase price for the Pre-Paid Advance is 92.0% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall
accrue on the outstanding balance of any Pre-Paid Advance at an annual rate equal to 0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of
default as described in the Convertible Notes.
Beginning on the forty-fifth
(45th) day following the issuance date of the Convertible Note issued in connection with the first Pre-Paid Advance, and continuing on
the same day of each successive month thereafter, (each, an “Installment Date”), the Company shall repay a portion of the
outstanding balance of the Pre-Paid Advance in an amount equal to (i) $1,750,000, plus (ii) the a payment premium of 7% of such Installment
Principal Amount, and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest hereunder as of each Installment Date. The maturity date of the Convertible Notes
issue in connection with each Pre-Paid Advance will be 12 months after the issuance date of such Convertible Notes. In October 2024, the
Company and Yorkville agreed to amend the dates and the allocation of installment amounts to be paid pursuant to the Pre-Paid Advances,
such that the outstanding balance of the Pre-Paid Advances is to be paid by February 2025. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has made
aggregate installment payments on the Pre-Paid Advances in the amount of $8.3 million, of which $7.2 million was settled in cash and $2.1
million was settled in shares. Of the aggregate installment payments, $7.1 million relates to the repayment of the principal, $0.6 million
relates to the 8% original issue discount and $0.6 million relates to the 7% payment premium.
B. Riley Committed Equity Facility
On December 26, 2023, the
Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with B. Riley, pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
contained in the Purchase Agreement, we have the right, in our sole discretion, to sell to B. Riley up to $10,000,000 of shares of the
common stock (subject to certain limitations contained in the Purchase Agreement), from time to time during the term of the Purchase Agreement
through a Market Open Purchase or an Intraday Purchase on any Purchase Date (each term as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Sales of
Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, are solely at our option, and we are under no obligation
to sell any securities to B. Riley under the Purchase Agreement.
Use of Proceeds
There has been no material
change in the planned use of the proceeds from the Business Combination, as is described in the Company’s final prospectus (Registration
No. 333-275218), as filed with the SEC on January 2, 2024. Additionally, there has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds
from the ELOC or the Yorkville Transaction (Registration No. 333-278610), as is described in the Company’s final prospectus (Registration
No. 333-276406), as filed with the SEC on February 1, 2024.
