NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in these accompanying notes are presented in thousands, except number of shares and per-share amounts.)

 

Note 1 — The Company

 

Description of the Business

 

PAVmed Inc and Subsidiaries, referred to herein as “PAVmed” or the “Company”“Company,” is comprised of PAVmed Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary and its majority-owned subsidiaries, inclusive of Lucid Diagnostics Inc. (“Lucid Diagnostics” or “LUCID”), and Veris Health Inc. (“Veris Health” or “VERIS”), and Solys Diagnostics Inc. (“Solys Diagnostics” or “SOLYS”).

 

The Company is organized to advance a broad pipeline of innovative medical technologies from concept to commercialization, employing a business model focused on capital efficiency and speed to market. The Company’s activities have focused on advancing the lead products towards regulatory approval and commercialization, protecting its intellectual property, and building its corporate infrastructure and management team.

 

The Company’s current operational activities are principally focused on the commercialization of EsoGuard, CarpX and CarpX,Veris Solar, while its development activities are focused on pursuing FDA approval and clearance of other lead products in our product portfolio pipeline, including EsoGuard IVD, PortIO, EsoCure and digital health technologies acquired by the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary Veris Health Inc.

 

The ability of the Company to generate revenue depends upon the Company’s ability to successfully advance the commercialization of EsoGuard, CarpX, and CarpXVeris Solar while also completing the development and the necessary regulatory approvals of its other products and services. There are no assurances, however, the Company will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources required for the long-term commercialization and development of its products and services.

 

The Company has financed its operations principally through public and private issuances of its common stock, preferred stock, common stock purchase warrants, and debt. The Company is subject to all of the risks and uncertainties typically faced by medical device and diagnostic companies that devote substantially all of their efforts to the commercialization of their initial product and services and ongoing research and development activities and conducting clinical trials. The Company expects to continue to experience recurring losses from operations and will continue to fund its operations with debt and equity financing transactions. Notwithstanding, however, with the cash on-hand as of the date hereof and other debt and equity committed sources of financing, the Company expects to be able to fund its operations and meet its financial obligations as they become due for the one year period from the date of the issue of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as included herein in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022.

Note 2 —Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are as disclosed in the Company’s annual reportAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on April 6, 2022, except as otherwise noted herein below.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of PAVmed Inc. and Subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company holds a majority-ownership interest and has controlling financial interest in each of: Lucid Diagnostics Inc., Veris Health Inc., and Solys Diagnostics Inc., with the corresponding noncontrolling interest included as a separate component of consolidated stockholders’ equity (deficit), including the recognition in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of a net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest based on the respective minority-interest equity ownership of each majority-owned subsidiary. See Note 15, Noncontrolling Interest, for a discussion of each of the majority-owned subsidiaries noted above. The Company manages its operations as a single operating segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions.

 

As permitted under SEC rules, certain footnotes or other financial information normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements at such date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, and in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of routine recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial information.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

The consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any other interim period or for any other future periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related unaudited condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the PAVmed Inc and Subsidiaries audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 6, 2022.

All amounts in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and these notes thereto are presented in thousands of dollars, if not otherwise noted as being presented in millions of dollars, except for shares and per share amounts.

 

Reclassifications

Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, which includes presenting costs of revenue within operating expenses on the statements of operations, in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The impact of the reclassifications made to prior year amounts is not material and did not affect net loss.

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and the determination of corresponding carrying value reserve, if any, and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent losses, as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in these (unaudited)unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include those related to the estimated fair value of debt obligations, stock-based equity awards, intangible assets and common stock purchase warrants. Other significant estimates include the estimated incremental borrowing rate, the provision or benefit for income taxes and the corresponding valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Additionally, management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Due to inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in these estimates.

Leases

 

The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases, (“ASC 842”) effective December 31, 2021, with such adoption not having an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.2021.

 

All significant lease agreements and contractual agreements with embedded lease agreements are accounted for under the provisions of ASC 842, wherein, if the contractual arrangement: involves the use of a distinct identified asset; provides for the right to substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the contractual period; and provides for the right to direct the use of the asset. A lease agreement is accounted for as either a finance lease (generally with respect real estate) or an operating lease (generally with respect to equipment). Under both a finance lease and an operating lease, the Company recognizes as of the lease commencement date a lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease payment liability.

 

A lease ROU asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and the lease liability represents its contractual obligation to make lease payments. The lease ROU asset is measured at the lease commencement date as the present value of the future lease payments plus initial direct costs incurred. The Company recognizes lease expense of the amortization of the lease ROU asset for an operating lease on a straight-line basis over the lease term; and for financing leases on a straight-line basis unless another basis is more representative of the pattern of economic benefit. The operating ROU asset also includes any lease incentives received for improvements to leased property, when the improvements are lessee-owned. ImprovementsFor improvements to leased property that are lessor-owned, the Company includes amounts the Company incurred for the improvements as ROU assets which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease.

 

The lease liability is measured at the lease commencement date with the discount rate generally based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate (to the extent the lease implicit rate is not known nor determinable), with interest expense recognized using the interest method for financing leases.

 

Certain leases may include options to extend or terminate the agreement. The Company does not assume renewals in determination of the lease term unless the renewals are deemed to be reasonably certain at lease commencement. As well, an option to terminate is considered unless it is reasonably certain the Company will not exercise the option. The Company elected the practical expedient to not recognize a lease ROU asset and lease payment liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less (“short-term leases”), resulting in the aggregate lease payments being recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term. The Company’s leases with a commencement date prior to January 1, 2022 were short-term leases and therefore did not require recording a ROU asset or lease liability at December 31, 2021. Additionally, the Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components.

Fair Value Option (“FVO”) Election

 

Under a Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 31, 2022, the Company issued a Senior Secured Convertible Note dated April 4, 2022, - referred to herein as the “April 2022 Senior Convertible Note” -, and a Senior Secured Convertible Note dated September 8, 2022, referred to herein as the “September 2022 Senior Convertible Note”, which isare accounted under the “fair value option election” as discussed below.

 

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Derivative and Hedging, (“ASC 815”), a financial instrument containing embedded features and /or options may be required to be bifurcated from the financial instrument host and recognized as separate derivative asset or liability, with the bifurcated derivative asset or liability initially measured at estimated fair value as of the transaction issue date and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value as of each reporting period balance sheet date.

 

Alternatively, FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, (“ASC 825”) provides for the “fair value option” (“FVO”) election. In this regard, ASC 825-10-15-4 provides for the FVO election (to the extent not otherwise prohibited by ASC 825-10-15-5) to be afforded to financial instruments, wherein the financial instrument is initially measured at estimated fair value as of the transaction issue date and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value as of each reporting period balance sheet date, with changes in the estimated fair value recognized as other income (expense) in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value adjustment of the April 2022 Senior Convertible Note is presented in a single line item within other income (expense) in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations (as provided for by ASC 825-10-50-30(b)). Further, as required by ASC 825-10-45-5, to the extent a portion of the fair value adjustment is attributed to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk, such portion would be recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) (for which there was no such adjustment with respect to the April 2022 Senior Convertible Note or the September 2022 Senior Convertible Note).

 

See Note 10, Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements, with respect to the FVO election; and Note 11, Debt, for a discussion of the April 2022 Senior Convertible Note and the September 2022 Senior Convertible Note.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when the satisfaction of the performance obligation occurs, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to collect in exchange for those services. The Company’s revenue is primarily generated by its laboratory testing services utilizing its EsoGuard Esophageal DNA tests. The services are completed upon release of a patient’s test result to the ordering healthcare provider. Revenue recognized is inclusive of both variable consideration in connection with an individual patient’s third-party insurance coverage policy and fixed consideration in connection with a contracted services arrangement with an unrelated third party legal entity. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (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 entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The key aspects considered by the Company include the following:

Contracts—The Company’s customer is primarily the patient, but the Company does not enter into a formal reimbursement contract with a patient. The Company establishes a contract with a patient in accordance with other customary business practices, which is the point in time an order is received from a provider and a patient specimen has been returned to the laboratory for testing. Payment terms are a function of a patient’s existing insurance benefits, including the impact of coverage decisions with Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and applicable reimbursement contracts established between the Company and payers. However, when a patient is considered self-pay, the Company requires payment from the patient prior to the commencement of the Company’s performance obligations. The Company’s consideration can be deemed variable or fixed depending on the structure of specific payer contracts, and the Company considers collection of such consideration to be probable to the extent that it is unconstrained.

Performance obligations—A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) to the customer. The Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, which is satisfied upon rendering of services, which culminates in the release of a patient’s test result to the ordering healthcare provider. The Company elects the practical expedient related to the disclosure of unsatisfied performance obligations, as the duration of time between providing testing supplies, the receipt of a sample, and the release of a test result to the ordering healthcare provider is far less than one year.

 

1110

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Transaction price—The transaction price is the amount of consideration that the Company expects to collect in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example, some sales taxes). The consideration expected to be collected from a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both.

If the consideration derived from the contracts is deemed to be variable, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the promised goods or services. The Company limits the amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price to the unconstrained portion of such consideration. In other words, the Company recognizes revenue up to the amount of variable consideration that is not subject to a significant reversal until additional information is obtained or the uncertainty associated with the additional payments or refunds is subsequently resolved.

When the Company does not have significant historical experience or that experience has limited predictive value, the constraint over estimates of variable consideration may result in no revenue being recognized upon delivery of patient EsoGuard test results to the ordering healthcare provider. As such, the Company recognizes revenue up to the amount of variable consideration not subject to a significant reversal until additional information is obtained or the uncertainty associated with additional payments or refunds, if any, is subsequently resolved. Differences between original estimates and subsequent revisions, including final settlements, represent changes in estimated expected variable consideration, with the change in estimate recognized in the period of such revised estimate. With respect to a contracted service arrangement, the fixed consideration revenue is recognized on an as-billed basis upon delivery of the laboratory test report with realization of such fixed consideration deemed probable based upon actual historical experience.

Allocate transaction price—The transaction price is allocated entirely to the performance obligation contained within the contract with a customer on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or service.

Practical Expedients—The Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component, as at contract inception, the Company expects the collection cycle to be one year or less.

 

Note 3 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

Revenue is recognized when the satisfaction of the performance obligation occurs, which is when the delivery of product and /or the provision of service is rendered, and is measured as the amount of estimated consideration expected to be realized. In the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized revenue under the EsoGuard Commercialization Agreement, dated August 1, 2021, as discussed below.

EsoGuard Commercialization Agreement

 

The Company, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Lucid Diagnostics Inc., entered into the EsoGuard Commercialization Agreement, dated August 1, 2021, with its Commercial Laboratory Improvements Act (“CLIA”) certifiedformer commercial laboratory service provider, ResearchDx Inc. (“RDx”), an unrelated third-party. The EsoGuard Commercialization Agreement was on a month-to-month basis, and was terminated on February 25, 2022 upon the execution of an asset purchase agreement (“APA”) dated February 25, 2022, between LucidDx Labs Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lucid Diagnostics Inc.) and RDx, with such agreement further discussed in Note 5, Asset Purchase Agreement and Management Services AgreementAgreement.,.

Revenue Recognized

 

In the sixthree months and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Company recognized total revenue of $76 and $265, respectively. For the three month period ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized revenue resulting from the delivery of patient EsoGuard test results .. Revenue recognized from customer contracts deemed to include a variable consideration transaction price is limited to the unconstrained portion of the variable consideration as the Company did not estimate expected variable consideration given the lack of historical experience and objective reliable actual reimbursement data. In addition to the revenue recognized during the three month period ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 includes $189, of revenue recognized under the EsoGuard Commercialization Agreement, which representsrepresented the minimum fixed monthly fee of $100 for the period January 1, 2022 to the February 25, 2022 termination date as discussed above,above. The monthly fee was deemed to be collectible for such period as RDx has timely paid the applicable respective monthly fee. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized total revenue of $200 and $200, respectively, under the EsoGuard Commercialization Agreement.

 

Cost of Revenue

The cost of revenue recognized with respectrevenues principally includes the costs related to the Company’s laboratory operations (excluding estimated costs associated with research activities), the costs related to the EsoCheck cell collection device, cell sample mailing kits and license royalties.

In the three months ended September 30, 2022, the cost of revenue recognizedwas $1,626 and was primarily related to costs for our laboratory operations and EsoCheck device supplies. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the cost of revenue was $1,996, including $369 reflecting costs attributable to delivering the services under the EsoGuard Commercialization Agreement for the period January 1, 2022 to February 25, 2022 totaled. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the cost of revenue was $369144 and $144, inclusive of employeerespectively, which solely related costs of personnel engaged into the delivery of the administration to patients of the EsoCheck cell sample collection procedure, EsoCheck devices and EsoGuard mailers (cell sample shipping costs) distributed to medical practitioners’ locations and the Lucid Test Centers; Lucid Test Centers operating expenses, including rent expense and supplies; and royalty fees incurred under the Amended CWRU LicenseCommercialization Agreement.

We are also pursuing a number of research and development project and product opportunities across these three segments,lines of business, which have either been developed internally or have been presented to us by clinician innovators and academic medical institutions for consideration.

 

Our multiple products and services are in various phases of development, regulatory clearances, approvals,approval and commercialization.commercialization, as follows:

EsoGuard and EsoCheck

 

We believe that the EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test, performed on samples collected with the EsoCheck Esophageal Cell Collection Device, constitutes the first and only commercially available diagnostic test capable of serving as a widespread screening tool to prevent esophageal adenocarcinoma (“EAC”) deaths, through early detection of esophageal precancer in at-risk gastroesophageal reflux disease (“GERD”)GERD,” also commonly known as chronic heartburn, acid reflux or simply reflux) patients. The Company has advanced the proprietary technologies underlying EsoGuard and EsoCheck from the academic research laboratory to commercial diagnostics tests and devices with scalable manufacturing capacity. The Company is presently focused on expanding commercialization across multiple sales channels, including:including the communication and education of medical practitioners and clinicians of EsoGuard;EsoGuard and establishingthe establishment of “Lucid Diagnostics Test Centers” for the collection of cell samples using EsoCheck. Previously the collected cell samples were sent to ResearchDx Inc. (“RDx”), an unrelated third-party CLIA-certifiedClinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (“CLIA”) certified commercial laboratory service provider, for the performance of the EsoGuard LDT.EsoGuard. On February 25, 2022, Lucid Diagnostics’ wholly owned subsidiary, LucidDx Labs Inc. (“LucidDx Labs”) acquired from RDx certain licenses and other related assets necessary for LucidDx Labs to operate its own new Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (“CLIA”)CLIA certified, College of American Pathologists (“CAP”) accredited clinical laboratory located in Lake Forest, CA. RDx was previously responsible for submitting claims for EsoGuard tests performed and was receiving out-of-network private insurance payments. As part of the transition to our own lab, we also contracted with a revenue cycle management (“RCM”) provider to submit claims on our behalf. The RCM provider will have completehas joint oversight of payer claims, appeals processes, patient billing, online payment collection, and claims tracking. WithAt the appropriate licenses and certifications for billing and credentialing secured, and our recently having putpoint when submission by the RCM began in place the necessary back office systems, claims forAugust 2022, more than 1,000 tests performed2,000 claims had accumulated since the establishmentcommencement of our own labCLIA laboratory operations (LucidDX Labs, on February 25, 2022). These claims and other claims that were subsequently generated are now being processed, including 8501,088 tests in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 (although not having yet secured reimbursed rates from Medicare and Medicaid, the Company does not know the amount per claim it will receive from payors).2022. Refer to Note 3 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  Presently, recognized revenue for GAAP purposes is subject to actual amounts collected during the period.  Accordingly, since the RCM began submitting claims processed from our own lab subsequent to June 30, 2022, there were no collections during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

 

In April 2022, the American College of Gastroenterology (“ACG”) updated its clinical guideline to support esophageal precancer (“Barrett’s Esophagus”, “BE”) screening to prevent highly lethal esophageal cancer (“EAC”) utilizing Lucid Diagnostics’ EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test on samples collected with our EsoCheck Cell Collection Device. The clinical guideline reiterates the ACG’s long-standing recommendation for esophageal precancer screening in at-risk patients with GERD. In its Recommendation 5, the ACG suggests a single screening endoscopy in patients with chronic GERD symptoms and 3 or more additional risk factors for BE, including male sex, age greater than 50 years, White race, tobacco smoking, obesity, and family history of BE or EAC in a first-degree relative. Furthermore, and importantly for the first time, the clinical guideline also endorses nonendoscopic biomarker screening as an acceptable alternative to costly and invasive endoscopy by stating in its Recommendation 6 that the ACG suggests that a swallowable, nonendoscopic capsule device combined with a biomarker is an acceptable alternative to endoscopy for screening for BE. The clinical guideline specifically mentions EsoCheck, along with our EsophaCap device, as such swallowable, nonendoscopic esophageal cell collection devices. The clinical guideline also mentions methylated DNA markers (like those detected by the EsoGuard test) as such a biomarker. The summary of evidence for this recommendation includes a reference to the seminal NIH-funded, multicenter, case-control study published in 2018 in Science Translational Medicine, which demonstrated that EsoGuard is highly accurate at detecting esophageal precancer and cancer, including on samples collected with EsoCheck.

Overview - continued

In connectionJuly 2022, the American Gastroenterology Association (“AGA”) published updated clinical guidance that mirrors the same furnished by the ACG as described above, endorsing the use of non-invasive screening tools like our EsoCheck Cell Collection Device, which is cited in its guideline, as an acceptable alternative to endoscopy to directly address the need for noninvasive screening tools that are easy to administer, patient friendly, and cost-effective for the detection of BE. The clinical practice update by the AGA also significantly expands the target population for esophageal precancer screening, including for EsoGuard and EsoCheck, by recommending, for the first time, screening in at-risk patients without symptoms of reflux. The AGA does so by adding a history of chronic GERD as merely an additional, seventh, risk factor to the six risk factors for BE and EAC that have traditionally identified at-risk symptomatic patients recommended for screening. As a result, chronic symptomatic GERD is no longer a mandatory prerequisite and asymptomatic patients with our effortsthree of the other six risk factors (e.g., male sex, age greater than 50 years, White race, tobacco smoking, obesity, and family history of BE) are now considered at-risk patients recommended for screening.

In 2021 the Lucid Diagnostics Inc. began conducting two concurrent clinical trials, the “EsoGuard screening study” (“BE-1”) and the “EsoGuard case-control study” (“BE-2”), to expand our presence in the diagnostic market, we are developing EsoCureclinical evidence for the technologies and to support a United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) pre-market approval (“PMA”) application of the use of EsoGuard and EsoCheck as an Esophageal Ablation Device, within-vitro diagnostic medical device (“IVD”). However, in light of the intentrecently published proposed Local Coverage Determination (“LCD”) DL39256, the recently updated AGA guidance, and the ACG update to allow a clinicianits clinical guideline that supports screening to treat dysplastic Barrett’s Esophagus (“BE”) before it can progress to EAC, aprevent highly lethal esophageal cancer (“EAC”) utilizing a biomarker test like EsoGuard on samples collected with a swallowable, nonendoscopic capsule device like EsoCheck, the Company has determined to prioritize its clinical trial efforts and resources towards supporting studies that will help secure insurance reimbursement adoption for EsoGuard and EsoCheck by government and private insurers. Consequently, we have decided to do so withoutdelay for the need for complex and expensive capital equipment. We have successfully completedtime being the BE-1 trial while continuing to enroll GERD patients with a pre-clinical feasibility animalprevious diagnosis of nondysplastic BE, low grade dysplasia, high grade dysplasia, or EAC in the BE-2 case-control study of EsoCure demonstrating excellent, controlled circumferential ablation of the esophageal mucosal lining. We have also completed an acute and survival animal study of EsoCure, demonstrating successful direct thermal balloon catheter ablation of esophageal lining through the working channel of a standard endoscope. We plan to conduct additional development work and animal testing of EsoCure to support a future FDA 510(k) submission.Q2 2023.

CarpX

CarpX is a minimally invasive surgical device for use in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome which received FDA 510(k) marketing clearance in April 2020, with the first commercial procedure successfully performed in December 2020. Our limited-release commercialization efforts through 2022 are focused on engaging key opinion hand surgeons designed to solicit input for ergonomic improvements to the device, procedure development and surgical-time optimization, and ease of use. As a result of this clinical input, we have initiated a product development project to incorporate intraluminal ultrasound into the device to include real time imaging of the ligament to be cut together with critical anatomic structures. The design and development work, including cadaver testing is expected to culminate in a FDA submission and clearance in 2023.

Veris Health

In May 2021, we formed Veris Health, and concurrently, acquired Oncodisc IncInc. (“Oncodisc”), a digital health company with ground breaking tools to improve personalized cancer care through remote patient monitoring, which we now refer to as our Veris Cancer Care Platform. TheseThe core technologies incorporated in the Veris Cancer Care Platform include the first intelligent implantable vascular healthcare platform that provides patients and physicians with new tools to improve outcomes and optimize the delivery of cost-effective care through remote monitoring and data analytics. Its vascular access port contains biologic sensors capable of generating continuous data on key physiologic parameters known to predict adverse outcomes in cancer patients undergoing treatment. Wireless communication to the patient’s smartphone and its cloud-based digital healthcare platform efficiently and effectively deliverswill deliver actionable real time data to patients and physicians. The technologies are the subject of multiple patent applications and one allowed patent awaiting final issuance. We plan to seek commercialization of the implantable device through a de novoFDA 510(k) process, and, as such, we’llwe will begin to commercialize the digital health offering in three phases. The three phases are called Veris Solar, Veris Mercury, and Veris Venus which include software, device, and data. Recently,The initial launch will be in conjunction with a package we hadare calling Veris Solar, with Veris branded OEM Bluetooth enabled connected health care devices. The next product, which we call Veris Mercury, is an implantable physiologic monitor designed to be implanted in conjunction with a favorabletraditional vascular access port for chemotherapy or other treatments. We have recently completed a successful pre-submission meeting with the FDA, surroundingwhich provided us with an outline for a clear path to 510(k) clearance of Veris Mercury with a submission in 2023 (although there can be no assurance as to product clearance). Veris Venus will be the Mercury phase.third product in the development process which will include full integration of the implantable monitor with the vascular access port. We are working with the FDA to finalize the regulatory path for Veris Venus to determine if it will be a 510(k) submission or a de novo pathway.

EsoCure

In connection with our efforts to expand our presence in the EAC diagnostic market, we are also developing the EsoCure Esophageal Ablation Device, with the intent to allow a clinician to treat dysplastic BE before it can progress to EAC, a highly lethal esophageal cancer, and to do so without the need for complex and expensive capital equipment. We have successfully completed a pre-clinical feasibility animal study of EsoCure demonstrating excellent, controlled circumferential ablation of the esophageal mucosal lining. An acute and survival animal study of EsoCure Esophageal Ablation Device has also been completed, demonstrating successful direct thermal balloon catheter ablation of esophageal lining through the working channel of a standard endoscope. We plan to conduct additional development work and animal testing of EsoCure to support a future FDA 510(k) submission.

PortIO

PortIO is an implantable intraosseous vascular access device that is being developed as a means for infusing fluids, medications, and other substances directly into the bone marrow cavity and from there into the central venous circulation. We are pursuing an FDA clearance for use in patients with a need for longer-term vascular access under de novo classification of section 513(f)2 of the FDCA. The broader clearance is being pursued in discussion with FDA following our previous initial submission to the FDA for a 510(k) premarket notification for use in patients only requiring 24-hour emergency type vascular access. PortIO completed its first-in-human clinical study in Colombia, South America, and has recentlyearlier this year successfully implanted seven additional patients. We are currently working with our partners to first pursuepatients for a European study to support EUseries of infusions over seven days and a successful explant of the device. The next set of patients will have device implanted for 60 days which will influence the regulatory path of pursuing a CE Mark clearance followed by providing additional human data for U.S. approval.in Europe or to proceed with a US IDE trial. Recruitment of these patients is underway.

Clinical GuidelineEsoCheck Manufacturing Update – ACG and AGA

On October 4, 2022, Lucid completed its first full day of manufacturing of EsoCheck at Coastline International, a high-volume manufacturing company. Through mid-2023, we expect to transition from our current manufacturer, Sage Product Development, to Coastline International as the manufacturing process is further optimized.

EsoCheck Cell Collection Device Update

 

In AprilOctober 2022, the American CollegeFDA announced they completed their review of Gastroenterology (“ACG”) updated its clinical guidelinethe EsoCheck 510(k) (#K222366) premarket notification of intent to support esophageal precancer (“Barrett’s Esophagus”, “BE”) screening to prevent highly lethal esophageal cancer (“EAC”) utilizing Lucid Diagnostics’ EsoGuard® DNA Test on samples collected with our EsoCheck®market the device and granted the use of the EsoCheck Cell Collection Device. The clinical guideline reiterates the ACG’s long-standing recommendation for esophageal precancer screening in at-risk patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (“GERD”), commonly known as chronic heartburn, acid reflux or simply reflux. In its Recommendation 5, the ACG suggests a single screening endoscopy in patients with chronic GERD symptoms and 3 or more additional risk factors for BE, including male sex, age >50 yr, White race, tobacco smoking, obesity, and family history of BE or EAC in a first-degree relative. Furthermore, and importantlyDevice for the collection and retrieval of surface cells of the esophagus in the general population of adults and adolescents, 12 years of age and older. This action by the FDA now expands the targeted US patient population to include adolescents not previously covered by the Company’s initial EsoCheck 510(k) clearance.

Veris Health Update

At the end of August, we moved our software platform from a development environment to a production environment. At the same time, we initiated our HIPAA and SOC2 audits which were completed in October. During the quarter we completed a presubmission meeting with the FDA, outlining a clear regulatory pathway for our first time, the clinical guideline also endorses nonendoscopic biomarker screening as an acceptable alternative to costly and invasive endoscopy by stating in its Recommendation 6 that the ACG suggests that a swallowable, nonendoscopic capsule device combined with a biomarker is an acceptable alternative to endoscopy for screening for BE. The clinical guideline specifically mentions EsoCheck, along with Lucid Diagnostics’ EsophaCap® device, as such swallowable, nonendoscopic esophageal cell collection devices, as well as methylated DNA biomarkers such as EsoGuard. The summary of evidence for this recommendation cites the seminal NIH-funded multicenter, case-control study published in 2018 in Science Translational Medicine, which demonstrated that EsoGuard is highly accurate at detecting esophageal precancer and cancer, including on samples collected with EsoCheck.intelligent implantable device.

New Opportunities - Novosound Agreement

 

In JulyOctober 2022, PAVmed entered into an option agreement with Novosound Ltd, a Scottish company specializing in the American Gastroenterology Association (“AGA”) published updated clinical guidance that mirrors the same furnished by the ACG as described above, endorsing the usedesign and manufacturing of non-invasive screening tools like our EsoCheck® Cell Collection Device, which is cited in its guideline, as an acceptable alternative to endoscopy to directly address the need for noninvasive screening tools that are easy to administer, patient friendly, and cost-effective for the detection of BE. The clinical practice update by the AGA also significantly expands the target population for esophageal precancer screening, including for EsoGuard and EsoCheck, by recommending, for the first time, screening in at-risk patients without symptoms of reflux. The AGA does so by addingultrasound sensors using a history of chronic GERD as merely an additional, seventh, risk factorproprietary thin-film technique. Pursuant to the six risk factors for BE and EAC that have traditionally identified at-risk symptomatic patients recommended for screening. As a result, chronic symptomatic GERD is no longer a mandatory prerequisite and asymptomatic patients with threeterms of the other six risk factors (e.g., male sex, age >50 yr, White race, tobacco smoking, obesity,agreement, PAVmed and family historyNovosound will collaborate on an research and development project leveraging Novosound’s ultrasound platform technology for development of BE) are now considered appropriatenovel intravascular ultrasound (“IVUS”) imaging devices, with PAVmed having the option to license the technology on an exclusive basis for screening.use in intravascular imaging.

EsoGuard BE-1 and BE-2 Clinical TrialsRecent Developments - continued

 

In 2021 the Lucid Diagnostics Inc. began conducting two concurrent clinical trials, including each of: the “EsoGuard screening study” (“BE-1”); and the “EsoGuard case-control study” (“BE-2”), to expand the clinical evidence for the technologies and to support a United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) pre-market approval (“PMA”) of the use of EsoGuard and EsoCheck as an in-vitro diagnostic medical device (“IVD”). However, in light of the recently published proposed Local Coverage Determination (“LCD”) DL39256, the recently updated AGA guidance, and the ACG update to its clinical guideline that supports screening to prevent highly lethal esophageal cancer (“EAC”) utilizing our EsoGuard® DNA Test on samples collected with our EsoCheck® Cell Collection Device, the Company has determined to prioritize its clinical trial efforts and resources towards supporting studies that will help secure insurance reimbursement adoption by government and private insurers. Consequently, we have decided to delay for the time being the BE-1 trial while continuing to enroll GERD patients with a previous diagnosis of nondysplastic BE, low grade dysplasia, high grade dysplasia,, or EAC in the BE-2 case-control study through Q2 2023.

Overview

 

Revenue

 

RevenueThe Company recognized revenue resulting from the delivery of patient EsoGuard test results for which cash collections have occurred or payment was reasonably assured. Additionally, revenue was recognized with respect to the EsoGuard Commercialization Agreement, dated August 1, 2021, between the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary, Lucid Diagnostics Inc., and ResearchDx Inc. (“RDx”), a CLIA certified commercial laboratory service provider. On February 25, 2022, the EsoGuard Commercialization Agreement was terminated upon the execution of an Asset Purchase Agreement between LucidDx Labs Inc., athe Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary of Lucid DiagnosticsLucidDx Labs Inc. and RDx.

 

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenues recognized from the delivery of patient EsoGuard test results includes costs related to EsoCheck device usage, shipment of test collection kits, royalties and the cost of services to process tests and provide results to physicians. We incur expenses for tests in the period in which the activities occur, therefore, gross margin as a percentage of revenue may vary from quarter to quarter due to costs being incurred in one period that relate to revenues recognized in a later period.

We expect that gross margin for our services will continue to fluctuate and be affected by EsoGuard test volume, our operating efficiencies, patient compliance rates, payer mix, the levels of reimbursement, and payment patterns of payers and patients.

 

The cost of revenue recognized with respect to the revenue recognized under the EsoGuard Commercialization Agreement is inclusive of: a royalty fee incurred under the Amended CWRU License Agreement; employee related costs of employees engaged in the administration to patients of the EsoCheck cell sample collection procedure (principally at the LUCIDLucid Test Centers); the EsoCheck devices and EsoGuard mailers (cell sample shipping costs) distributed to medical practitioners locations and the LUCIDLucid Test Centers; and LUCIDLucid Test Centers operating expenses, including rent expense and supplies.

 

Sales and marketing expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for employees engaged in sales and marketing activities, as well as advertising and promotion expenses. We anticipate our sales and marketing expenses will increase in the future, as we anticipate an increase in payroll and related expenses related to the roll-out of our commercial sales and marketing operations as we execute on our business strategy.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for personnel, travel expenses, facility-related costs, professional fees, accounting and legal services, employees involved in third-party payor reimbursement contract negotiations and consultants and expenses associated with obtaining and maintaining patents within our intellectual property portfolio.

 

We anticipate our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future, as we anticipate an increase in payroll and related expenses related with the growth and expansion of our business operations objectives. We also anticipate continued expenses related to being a public company, including audit, legal, regulatory, and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance as a public company, insurance premiums and investor relations costs.

 

Research and development expenses

 

Research and development expenses are recognized in the period they are incurred and consist principally of internal and external expenses incurred for the research and development of our products, including:

 

consulting costs charged to us by various external contract research organizations we contract with to conduct clinical and preclinical studies and engineering studies;design and development;
salary and benefit costs associated with our chief medical officer and engineering personnel;
costs associated with regulatory filings;
patent license fees;
cost of laboratory supplies and acquiring, developing, and manufacturing preclinical prototypes;
product design engineering studies; and
rental expense for facilities maintained solely for research and development purposes.

 

We plan to incur research and development expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of our existing products as well as new innovations. Our research and development activities, including our clinical trials, are focused principally on obtaining FDA approvals, facilitating insurer reimbursement, encouraging physician adoption and developing product improvements or extending the utility of the lead products in our pipeline, including EsoCheck and EsoGuard and CarpX, along with advancing our Veris Cancer Care Platform and EsoCure and PortIO products.

Our ability to generate revenue depends upon successfully advancing the commercialization of EsoGuard and CarpX while also completing the development and the necessary regulatory approvals of its other products and services. There are no assurances, however, the Companywe will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources required for the long-term commercialization and development of its products and services.

 

We have financed our operations principally through the public and private issuances of our common stock, preferred stock, common stock purchase warrants, and debt. We are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties typically faced by medical device and diagnostic and medical device companies that devote substantially all of their efforts to the commercialization of their initial product and services and ongoing R&D and clinical trials. We expect to continue to experience recurring losses from operations, and will continue to fund our operations with debt and/or equity financing transactions. Notwithstanding, however, with the cash on-hand as of the date hereof and other debt and equity committed sources of financing, we expect to be able to fund our future operations for one year from the date of the issue of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022.10-Q.
