Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1—Organization and Description of Business

Acutus Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) is an arrhythmia management company focused on improving the way cardiac arrhythmias are diagnosed and treated. The Company designs, manufactures and markets a range of tools for catheter-based ablation procedures to treat various arrhythmias. The Company’s product portfolio includes novel access sheaths, transseptal crossing tools, diagnostic and mapping catheters, ablation catheters, mapping and imaging consoles and accessories, as well as supporting algorithms and software programs. The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on March 25, 2011, and is located in Carlsbad, California.

~~Public Offerings~~Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

The Company has limited revenue, has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception, and anticipates that it will incur significant losses for at least the next several years. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of $70.5 million and $108.0 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, net losses were $54.7 million and $86.4 million, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities was $72.1 million and $77.1 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $533.4 million and $478.7 million, respectively, and working capital of $75.6 million and $107.8 million, respectively.

Prior to the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in August 2020, the Company's operations were financed primarily by aggregate net proceeds from the sale of convertible preferred stock and principal of converted debt of $253.9 million, as well as other indebtedness. On August 10, 2020, the Company issued 10,147,058 shares of common stock in its IPO, which included 1,323,529 shares of common stock issued upon the exercise in full by the underwriters of an option to purchase additional shares of common stock, at the public offering price less underwriting discounts and commissions. The price to the public was $18.00 per share, for net proceeds of $166.3 million.

In July 2021, the Company issued 6,325,000 shares of common stock in a public offering, which included 825,000 shares of common stock issued upon the ~~underwriter's~~underwriter’s exercise in full of an option to purchase additional shares of common stock. The price to the public for each share was $14.00. The Company received gross proceeds of $88.6 million from the offering. Net of underwriting discounts and commission and other offering expenses, the Company received proceeds of $82.7 million from the offering.

On August 10, 2020, the Company issued 10,147,058 shares of common stock in an initial public offering (“IPO”), which included 1,323,529 shares of common stock issued upon the underwriters’ exercise in full of an option to purchase, at the public offering price less underwriting discounts and commissions, up to an additional 1,323,529 shares. The price to the public for each share was $18.00. The Company received proceeds of $166.3 million from its IPO, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.

On August 10, 2020, in connection with the closing of the IPO, 391,210 shares of Series A, 3,088,444 shares of Series B, 4,499,921 shares of Series C and 8,593,360 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock automatically converted into an equal number of shares of common stock, and the warrants to purchase 446,990 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock were automatically converted to an equal number of warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $16.67 per share.

As a result of the IPO, the underwriters’ exercise of their option, and the conversions of the Series A, B, C and D convertible preferred stock, the Company’s total number of outstanding shares increased by 26,719,993 immediately following the closing of the IPO.

~~Reverse Stock Split~~

The Company’s board of directors approved a reverse split of shares of the Company’s common stock and convertible preferred stock on a 9.724-for-one basis (the “Reverse Stock Split”), which was effected on July 28, 2020. The par value and the number of authorized shares of the convertible preferred stock and common stock were not adjusted in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. All references to common stock, convertible preferred stock, warrants to purchase common stock, warrants to purchase convertible preferred stock, options to purchase common stock, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, share data, per share data and related information contained in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented. No fractional shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional share resulting from the Reverse Stock Split was rounded down to the nearest whole share, and any stockholder entitled to a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split received a cash payment in lieu of receiving fractional shares.

~~Going Concern, Liquidity and Capital Resources~~

The Company has limited revenue, has incurred operating losses since inception and expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for at least the next several years and may never become profitable. As of SeptemberJune 30, ~~2021 and December 31, 2020,~~2022, Medtronic, Inc. (“Medtronic”) paid the Company ~~had an accumulated deficit~~$50.0 million at the first closing (the "First Closing") of ~~$447.4 million and $361.0 million, respectively, and working capital of $137.6 million and $129.5 million, respectively. The Company has historically funded its operations primarily through~~ the sale of ~~debt and equity securities, as well as other indebtedness. With~~ the ~~closing~~Company's left-heart access portfolio to Medtronic, of which $4.0 million was paid into an indemnity escrow account for a period of 18 months following the ~~Company’s IPO in August 2020 and follow~~first Closing to secure the Company's indemnification obligations under the asset purchase agreement ("Asset Purchase Agreement") entered into with Medtronic on ~~offering in July 2021,~~April 26, 2022. Management believes the Company’s current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. ~~However,~~To ensure that the Company has sufficient resources to fund operations, management continues to review cost improvement opportunities and pathways to reduce expenses and cash burn, while preserving the resources to invest in future growth.

In the future, the Company may need to raise additional funds through one or more of the following: the issuance of ~~additional~~ debt and/or equity securities or ~~both.~~otherwise. Until such time, if ever, that the Company can generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, the Company expects to finance its operations through equity or debt financings, which may not be available to the

~~Table of Contents~~

Company on the timing needed or on terms that the Company deems to be favorable. To the extent that the Company raises additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of its stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of common stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting the Company’s ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If the Company is unable to maintain sufficient financial resources, its business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. The Company may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate its product discovery and development activities or future commercialization efforts. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the needed financing on acceptable terms or at all.

Impact of COVID-19

~~Beginning in March 2020, the~~ COVID-19 ~~pandemic and the measures imposed to contain this pandemic disrupted and are expected to continue to impact~~has restricted the Company's business. For example, on March 19, 2020, the Executive Department of the State of California issued Executive Order N-33-20, ordering all individuals in the State of California to stay home or at their place of residence except as needed to maintain continuity of operations of the federal critical infrastructure sectors. The Company's primary operations are located in Carlsbad, California. As a result of such order, the majority of the Company’s employees have telecommuted, which may impact certain of its operations over the near term and long term. Moreover, beginning in March 2020 and continuing through the filing of this Form 10-Q, access to ~~hospitals~~hospital and other customer sites, ~~was restricted to essential personnel,~~ which has negatively impacted the ~~Company’s~~Company's ability to install its AcQMap consoles and workstations in new accounts and for sales representatives and mappers to promote the use of the ~~Company’s~~Company's products with physicians. Moreover, hospitals and other therapeutic centers suspended many elective procedures, resulting in a significantly reduced volume of procedures using the Company's products. In addition, all clinical trials in Europe were suspended with follow-ups for clinical trials done via telecom, and the Company believes enrollment timing in its planned clinical trials will be slowed due to COVID-19 driven delayed access to enrollment sites. As a result of the interruptions to the business due to COVID-19, the Company enacted a cash conservation program, which included delaying certain non-critical capital expenditures and other projects and implementing a hiring freeze, headcount reductions and temporary compensation reductions (through August 2020). The effects of the pandemic began to decrease in late April 2020 as electrophysiology labs began reopening and procedure volumes began increasing as compared to COVID-19 related low points in March 2020. The Company’s IPO in August 2020 provided resources sufficient to restore compensation reductions to pre-COVID levels, as well as to restart hiring and capital expenditures in support of its growth. Over the past 12-months, the Company has continued to observe intermittent suspension of many elective procedures associated with the resurgence of COVID-19 in geographies where it sells, markets and distributes its products. In addition,Furthermore, the impact of COVID-19 has varied by region and by healthcare facility, which has hampered the Company’s ability to forecast the sustained impact on its business from COVID-19. The Company ~~continues~~expects medical procedure rates to ~~see intermittent suspension of many elective procedures in many hospitals, resulting in reduced volume of procedures using its products. In addition, the Company has experienced personnel~~continue to vary by therapy and ~~other resource shortages at hospitals at which procedures utilizing our products otherwise~~country, and such rates could be ~~used; disruptions or~~impacted by regional COVID-19 case volumes, healthcare system staffing shortages, patient's willingness to schedule deferrable procedures, travel restrictions, ontransportation limitations, quarantine restriction, vaccine and booster immunizations rates, and new COVID-19 variants. While COVID-19 case volumes have decreased in the ~~ability~~United States and certain other countries as a result of ~~many of our employees and of third parties on which we rely to work effectively, including because of adherence to governmental orders or recommendations or to internal policies intended to reduce~~higher vaccination rates, the ~~spread of COVID-19; and temporary closures of our facilities and of the facilities of our customers and suppliers.~~global COVID-19 outlook remains uncertain. The magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on productivity, results of operations and financial position, and its disruption to the Company’s business and clinical programs and timelines, will depend, in part, on the length and severity of ~~the pandemic, associated~~outbreaks, restrictions and other measures designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and on the Company’s ability to conduct business in the ordinary course. Quarantines, shelter-in-place, vaccine mandates and similar government orders have also impacted, and may continue to impact, the Company’s third-party manufacturers and suppliers, and could in turn adversely impact the availability or cost of materials, which could disrupt the Company’s supply chain. The markets the Company serves ~~are likely to~~could see continued impacts from COVID-19 for the foreseeable future, and the emergence of new variants of COVID-19 creates significant uncertainty as to how long COVID-19 will continue to impact the Company’s business.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements

~~Table of Contents~~

prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statement results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future period.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Acutus Medical, Inc. and its wholly-owned ~~subsidiary Acutus Medical NV (“Acutus NV”), which was incorporated under the laws of Belgium in August 2013.~~subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. The most significant estimates and assumptions in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, useful lives of intangible assets, assessment of impairment of goodwill, measurement of operating lease liabilities, and the fair value of common stock, stock options, warrants, intangible assets and contingent consideration. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business as 1one operating segment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. All of the Company’s cash equivalents have liquid markets and high credit ratings. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposits and other accounts, the balances of which, at times and as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, exceeded federally insured limits.

Marketable Securities

The Company considers its debt securities to be available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are classified as cash equivalents or short-term or long-term marketable securities based on the maturity date at time of purchase and their availability to meet current operating requirements. Marketable securities that mature in three months or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. Marketable securities, excluding cash equivalents, that mature in one year or less are classified as short-term available-for-sale securities and are reported as a component of current assets.

Securities that are classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value with temporary unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive loss, and as a component of stockholders’ equity until their disposition or maturity. See “Fair Value Measurements” below. The Company reviews all available-for-sale securities at each period end to determine if they remain available-for-sale based on the Company’s current intent and ability to sell the security if it is required to do so. Realized gains and losses from the sale of marketable securities, if any, are calculated using the specific-identification method.

~~Table of Contents~~

Marketable securities are subject to a periodic impairment review. The Company ~~may recognize~~recognizes an impairment charge when a decline in the fair value of investments below the cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary. In determining whether a decline in market value is other-than-temporary, various factors are considered, including the cause, duration of time and severity of the impairment, any adverse changes in the investees’ financial condition and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in market value. Declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company did not record any other-than-temporary impairments related to marketable securities in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020.~~2021.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and marketable securities. Cash and restricted cash are maintained in accounts with financial institutions which, at times, may exceed the ~~Federal~~federal depository insurance coverage of $0.25 million. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts, and management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not significant. The Company’s marketable securities portfolio primarily consists of investments in commercial paper, Yankee debt securities, supranational, U.S. treasury securities, asset-backed securities and short-term high credit quality corporate debt securities.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company accounts for revenue earned from contracts with customers under Accounting Standards Codification ~~(“ASC”~~("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), and ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842"). The core principle of ASC 606 is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

•Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer.

•Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Table of Contents

•Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

•Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

•Step 5: Recognize revenue when, or as, the company satisfies a performance obligation.

ASC 842 provides guidance on determining if an agreement contains a lease. ASC 842 defines a lease as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

For new customers, the Company places its medical diagnostic equipment, AcQMap System, at customer sites under evaluation agreements and generates revenue from the sale of disposable products used with the AcQMap System. Disposable products primarily include AcQMap ~~Catheters~~catheters and AcQGuide ~~Steerable Sheaths.~~steerable sheaths. Outside of the ~~U.S.,~~United States, the Company also has a Qubic Force Device which generates revenue from the sale of the AcQBlate Force ~~Ablation Catheters.~~ablation catheters. The Company provides the disposable products in exchange for consideration, which occurs when a customer submits a purchase order and the Company provides disposables at the agreed upon prices in the invoice. Generally, customers purchase disposable products using separate purchase orders after the equipment has been provided to the customer for free with no binding agreement or requirement to purchase any disposable products. The Company has elected the practical expedient and accounting policy election to account for the shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the disposable products and not as a separate performance obligation.

The Company sells the AcQMap System to customers along with software updates on a when-and-if-available basis, as well as the Qubic Force Device and a transseptal crossing line of products which can be used in a variety of heart procedures and does not need to be accompanied with an AcQMap System or Qubic Force Device. Included in the transseptal crossing line of products are primarily the AcQRef introducer sheath, the AcQGuide sheaths and the AcQCross Transseptal Dilator/Needle.

The Company also enters into deferred equipment agreements that are generally structured such that the Company agrees to provide an AcQMap System at no up-front charge, with title of the device transferring to the customer at the end of the contract term, in exchange for the customer’s commitment to purchase disposables at a specified price over the term of the agreement, which generally ranges from two to four years. The Company determined that the deferred equipment agreements include embedded sales-type leases. The Company allocates contract consideration under deferred equipment agreements containing fixed annual disposable purchase commitments to the underlying lease and non-lease components at contract inception. The

~~Table of Contents~~

Company expenses the cost of the device at the inception of the agreement and records a financial lease asset equal to the gross consideration allocated to the lease. The lease asset will be reduced by payments for minimum disposable purchases that are allocated to the lease.

Lastly, the Company enters into short-term operating leases for the rental of the system after an evaluation. These lease agreements impose no requirement on the customer to purchase the equipment, and the equipment is not transferred to the customer at the end of the lease term. The short-term nature of the lease agreements does not result in lease payments accumulating to an amount that equals the value of the equipment nor is the lease term reflective of the economic life of the equipment.

The Company’s contracts primarily include fixed consideration. Generally, there are no discounts, rebates, returns or other forms of variable consideration. Customers are generally required to pay within 30 to 60 days.

The delivery of disposable products are performance obligations satisfied at a point in time. The disposable products are shipped Free on Board (“FOB”) shipping point or FOB destination. For disposable products that are shipped FOB shipping point, the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership and legal title to the assets when the disposable products leave the Company’s shipping facilities, and thus the customer obtains control and revenue is recognized at that point in time. Revenue is recognized on delivery for disposable products shipped via FOB destination.

For direct customers, the installation and delivery of the AcQMap System is satisfied at a point in time when the installation is complete, which is when the customer can benefit and has control of the system. For AcQMap System sales sold to Biotronik SE & Co. KG (“Biotronik”), the installation is not a performance obligation as it is performed by Biotronik, and therefore the AcQMap System is satisfied at a point in time when they have control of the system. The Company’s software updates and equipment service performance obligations are satisfied evenly over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Company’s performance for these services throughout the service period.

The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). The Company determines SSP for the purposes of allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the adjusted market assessment approach that maximizes the use of observable inputs, which includes, but is not limited to, transactions where the specific performance obligations are sold separately, list prices and offers to customers.

Table of Contents

Except for the deferred equipment agreements noted above, the Company’s contracts with customers generally have an expected duration of one year or less, and therefore the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606 to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations. Any incremental costs to obtain contracts are recorded as selling, general and administrative expense as incurred due to the short duration of the Company’s contracts. The Company’s contract balances consisted solely of accounts receivable as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

In May 2020, the Company entered into bi-lateral distribution agreements with Biotronik (the “Bi-Lateral Distribution Agreements”). Pursuant to the Bi-Lateral Distribution Agreements, the Company obtained a non-exclusive license to distribute a range of Biotronik’s products and accessories in the United States, Canada, China, Hong Kong and multiple Western European countries under the Company’s private label. Moreover, if an investigational device exemption (“IDE”) clinical trial is required for these products to obtain regulatory approval in the United States, or a clinical trial is required for these products to obtain regulatory approval in China, the Company will obtain an exclusive distribution right in such territories for a term of up to five years commencing on the date of regulatory approval if the Company covers the cost of the IDE or other clinical trial and the Company conducts such study within a specified period. Biotronik also agreed to distribute the Company’s products and accessories in Germany, Japan, Mexico, Switzerland and multiple countries in Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and South America. The Company also granted Biotronik a co-exclusive right to distribute these products in Hong Kong. Each party will pay to the other party specified transfer prices on the sale of the other party’s products and, accordingly, will earn a distribution margin on the sale of the other party’s products.

Inventory

Inventory is comprised of raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead and is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. The Company recorded write-downs for manufacturing scrap and excess and obsolete inventory based on management’s review of inventories on hand, compared to estimated future usage and sales, shelf-life and assumptions about the likelihood of obsolescence of ~~less than~~$0.2 million and $0.1 million for ~~both of~~ the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and ~~2020,~~$2.6 million and $1.0 ~~million and $0.1~~ million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

~~Trade accounts receivable are recorded net of allowances for uncollectible accounts.~~ The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on various factors including historical experience, the length of time the receivables are past due and the financial health of the customer. The Company reserves specific receivables if collectability is no longer reasonably assured. Based upon the assessment of these factors, the Company did not record an allowance for uncollectible accounts as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Table of Contents

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three to five years, or, in the case of leasehold improvements, over the lesser of the useful life of the related asset or the lease term.

~~Table of Contents~~

Intangible Assets

~~Intangible~~At December 31, 2021, intangible assets ~~consist~~consisted of acquired developed technology, acquired in-process technology, trademarks and trade names and a customer-related intangible which were acquired as part of the acquisition of Rhythm Xience, Inc. (“Rhythm Xience”) in June ~~2019.~~2019, as well as a license agreement with Biotronik. The Rhythm Xience intangible assets were included in the assets sold to Medtronic at the first closing of the transaction in June 2022, leaving only the license agreement with Biotronik in intangible assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022. The Company determines the appropriate useful life of its finite-lived intangible assets by performing an analysis of expected cash flows of the acquired assets. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, which approximates the pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed. Acquired in-process technology was classified as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, until the receipt of Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) approval for the technology in January 2020. Once the FDA approval was received, the in-process technology was classified as a finite-lived intangible and amortization for in-process technology began. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Indefinite-~~lived intangible assets are impaired if their estimated fair values are less than their carrying value.~~

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an entity over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and it is presented as goodwill in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Under ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic impairment testing. ASC 350 requires that an entity assign its goodwill to reporting units and test each reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment at least on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. In the evaluation of goodwill for impairment, which is performed annually during the fourth quarter, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances led to a determination that it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company is required to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company has 1one reporting unit. ~~For~~During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the ~~qualitative testing did not indicate any impairment~~Company fully impaired its goodwill balance of $12.0 million. Refer to Note 9 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets for ~~the carrying amount of goodwill.~~further details.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the asset’s carrying value exceeds the total undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss is determined as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. For the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, the Company determined that there was no impairment of property and equipment or intangible assets.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The assets, liabilities and results of operations of Acutus NVMedical N.V. and Acutus Medical UK Limited are measured using their functional currency, the Euro and British Pound Sterling, respectively, which is the currency of the primary foreign economic environment in which ~~this subsidiary operates.~~the subsidiaries operate. Upon consolidating ~~this entity~~these entities with the Company, ~~its~~their assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars at currency exchange rates as of the balance sheet date and ~~its~~their revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted average currency exchange rates during the applicable reporting periods. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating ~~this entity’s~~the entities’ financial statements are reported in accumulated other comprehensive ~~income (loss)~~loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and foreign currency translation adjustment in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Lessee Leases

The Company accounts for its lessee leases under ASC 842. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases, and are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as both a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each

Table of Contents

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.

~~Table of Contents~~

In calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability, the Company elects to combine lease and non-lease components. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from the ~~new~~ guidance as an accounting policy election.

Cost of Products Sold

Cost of products sold includes raw materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, shipping and receiving costs and other less significant indirect costs related to the production of the Company’s products.

Research and Development

The Company is actively engaged in new product research and development efforts. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel directly engaged in research and development activities, clinical trial expenses, equipment costs, material costs, allocated rent and facilities costs and depreciation.

In April 2021, the Company and Biotronik entered into a Feasibility and Development Agreement to pursue the development of hardware, software and IT infrastructure to implement the Qubic Connect System ("QBS"). The QBS will allow data transfer from multiple diagnostic and therapeutic medical products during an electrophysiology procedure to be aggregated and analyzed for the purposes of designing improved treatment protocols.

Research and development expenses relating to possible future products are expensed as incurred. The Company also accrues and expenses costs for activities associated with clinical trials performed by third parties as incurred. All other costs relative to setting up clinical trial sites are expensed as incurred. Clinical trial site costs related to patient enrollment are accrued as patients are entered into the trials.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel in sales, executive, finance and other administrative functions, allocated rent and facilities costs, legal fees relating to intellectual property and corporate matters, professional fees for accounting and consulting services, marketing costs and insurance costs. The Company expenses all SG&A costs as incurred.

Restructuring

Restructuring expense consists of severance expenses and benefits related to employees affected by the organizational reduction in force ("RIF"). The RIF was made to align resources with the Company's current strategic direction.

Employee Retention Credit

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act provides an employee retention credit (“CARES Employee Retention Credit”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes of up to $5 thousand per employee for eligible employers. The tax credit is equal to 50% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, capped at $10 thousand of qualified wages per employee per calendar year through December 31, 2020. Additional relief provisions were passed by the United States government, which extended and expanded the qualified wage caps on these credits through September 30, 2021. Based on these additional provisions, the tax credit is now equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter beginning with the first quarter of 2021, and the limit on qualified wages per employee has been increased to $10 thousand of qualified wages per quarter instead of per calendar year.

The Company qualifies for the tax credit under the CARES Act. The Company filed 2021 Form 941-X Adjusted Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return or Claim for Refund for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 on March 24, 2022. The refunds due are an aggregate of $4.0 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. The Company filed its 2020 Form 941-X Adjusted Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return or Claim for Refund for the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2020 on March 31, 2022. The refunds due for that period are an aggregate of $0.6 million. On September 29, 2022, the Company filed 2021 Form 941-X Adjusted Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return

Table of Contents

or Claim for Refund for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The refund due is $2.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company has received the refund dues of $0.1 million including the interests for the quarters ended September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively, leaving the outstanding ERC refunds due of $6.7 million.

The Company elected to classify the ERC amounts as a reduction to payroll tax expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded $2.3 million, $2.0 million, $2.5 million related to the CARES Employee Retention Credit within cost of products sold, research and development expense,SG&A and marketing expense, respectively, on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are based on the premise that fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the following three-tier fair value hierarchy has been used in determining the inputs used in measuring fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair values. Accordingly, the fair value estimates disclosed or initial amounts recorded may not be indicative of the amount that the Company or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange. There were no transfers made among the three levels in the fair value hierarchy for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020.~~2021.

As of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company’s cash (excluding cash equivalents which are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis), restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses were carried at cost, which approximates the fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

~~Table of Contents~~

The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value due to its variable market interest rate and management’s opinion that current rates and terms that would be available to the Company with the same maturity and security structure would be essentially equivalent to that of the Company’s long-term debt.

Table of Contents

The Company’s portfolio of marketable securities is comprised of commercial paper, ~~asset-backed~~Yankee debt securities, supranational, U.S. treasury securities, ~~yankee debt~~asset-backed securities ~~supranational~~ and short-term highly liquid, high credit quality corporate debt securities. The fair value for the available-for-sale marketable securities is determined based on trade prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs) or valuation models using inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2 inputs), such as quoted prices for similar assets, ~~or liabilities,~~ yield curve, volatility factors, credit spreads, default rates, loss severity, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, ~~or debt,~~ broker and dealer quotes, as well as other relevant economic measures.

The following table presents changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 (in thousands):

(1) As part of the Rhythm Xience acquisition (see Note 3), the first $0.5 million earned related to revenue success payments was paid at the end of the first month following the end of the quarter in which the revenue success payments were earned, into an escrow account until the expiration of an additional 18 month hold-back period commencing with the end of the quarter during which such revenue success payment amounts were earned. Amounts noted above were released from the escrow account.

(2) Common stock warrants issued to lenders under the 2022 Credit Agreement (see Notes 11 and 14).

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.

The fair value of the contingent consideration from the acquisition of Rhythm Xience (see Note 3) represents the estimated fair value of future payments due to the sellers of Rhythm Xience based on the achievement of certain milestones and revenue-based targets in certain years. The initial fair value of the revenue-based contingent consideration was calculated through the use of a Monte Carlo simulation using revenue projections for the respective earn-out period, corresponding targets and approximate timing of payments as outlined in the purchase agreement. The analyses used the following assumptions: (i) expected term; (ii) risk-adjusted net ~~sales or earnings;~~sales; (iii) risk-free interest rate and (iv) expected volatility of ~~earnings.~~net sales. Estimated payments, as determined through the respective model, were further discounted by a credit spread assumption to account for credit risk. The fair value of the milestones-based contingent consideration was determined by probability weighting and discounting to the respective valuation date at the Company’s cost of debt. The Company’s cost of debt was determined by performing a synthetic credit rating for the Company and selecting yields based on companies with a similar credit rating. The contingent consideration is revalued to fair value each period, and any increase or decrease is recorded in operating loss. The fair value of the contingent consideration may be impacted by certain unobservable inputs, most significantly with regard to projected performance, expected term, discount rates, expected volatility and historical performance. Significant changes to these inputs in isolation, including how these inputs are weighted, could result in a significantly different fair value measurement. The weighted average (in aggregate) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) used in measuring the contingent consideration from the acquisition of Rhythm Xience as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 were as follows:

September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
(unaudited)
Risk-free interest rate 0.30% 0.20%
Expected term in years 1.0 - 2.0 1.0 - 2.0
Expected volatility 23.1% 17.2%

Risk-free interest rate	4.00%	0.60%
Expected term in years	1.0 - 2.0	1.0 - 2.0

The common stock warrants issued by the Company on June 30, 2022 in connection with the 2022 Credit Agreement met the definition of a freestanding financial instrument, as they are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the debt. The fair value of the common stock warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value was impacted by the model selected, as well as assumptions surrounding inputs including the risk-free interest rate, expected term and expected volatility. The fair value was estimated to be $0.65 per share as of September 30, 2022 and the significant inputs

used in the estimation of the fair value were as follows:

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for all stock-based payments to employees and non-employees, including grants of stock options, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and restricted stock units with non-market performance and service conditions (“PSUs”) to be recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements, based on their respective grant

~~Table of Contents~~

date fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The RSAs, RSUs and PSUs are valued based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of 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, RSAs and RSUs over the requisite service period. As the PSUs have a performance condition, compensation expense was recognized for each vesting tranche over the respective requisite service period of each tranche upon the registration statement ~~used in connection with the Company’s IPO being declared~~becoming effective on August 5, 2020, when the Company’s management deemed it probable that the performance conditions were satisfied. The Company recognized a cumulative true-up adjustment related to PSUs once the conditions became probable of being satisfied as the related service period had been completed in a prior period. All stock-based compensation costs are recorded in cost of products sold, research and development expense or SG&A expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss based upon the respective employee’s or non-employee’s roles within the Company. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur. See ~~“Note 16—~~also Note 16 - Stock-Based ~~Compensation”~~Compensation below.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which provides for 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, and net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and research and development tax credit carryforwards. 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.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit ~~will~~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. To date, there have been no interest or penalties charged in relation to the unrecognized tax benefits.

~~Warrant Liability~~

~~The Company accounted for certain common stock warrants and convertible preferred stock warrants outstanding as a liability, in accordance with ASC 815,~~ ~~Derivatives and Hedging~~ (“ASC 815”), at fair value. This liability was subject to re-measurement at each reporting period and upon conversion to equity-classified warrants, and any change in fair value was recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. In connection with the IPO on August 10, 2020, the common stock warrants and convertible preferred stock warrants that had been liability-classified were automatically converted into an equal number of warrants to purchase common stock and became equity-classified. The fair value of the outstanding liability on the conversion date was reclassified to additional paid-in capital in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting based on ASC 805, Business Combinations (“(“ASC 805”), which requires recognition and measurement of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the date control is obtained. The Company determines the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon its best estimates of the acquisition-date fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Subsequent adjustments to fair value of any contingent consideration are recorded to the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The determination of estimated fair value requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions. These fair value determinations require judgment and involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, and asset lives, among other items. As a result, we may record adjustments to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In ~~December 2019,~~May 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ~~(“FASB”~~("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ~~(“ASU”~~("ASU") No. ~~2019-12,~~ ~~Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes~~2021-05, Leases (Topic 842), Lessors – Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments, which ~~is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting~~clarifies that lessors should classify and account for ~~income taxes.~~a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate as an operating lease. This ASU ~~No. 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance~~ is effective for ~~fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted.~~smaller reporting companies in 2022. The

Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, which did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), whichprovides clarification on how to account for a modification or exchange of free-standing equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after the modification or exchange. This ASU is effective for smaller reporting companies in 2022. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2022, which did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements to Be Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, available-for-sale debt securities and applies to certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU is effective for smaller reporting companies in 2023. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-4, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. These transactions include contract modifications, hedging relationships and sale or transfer of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity. Entities may apply the provisions of the new standard as of the beginning of the reporting period when the election is made (i.e., as early as the first quarter of 2020). Unlike other topics, the provisions of this update are only available until December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to have been completed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and has yet to elect an adoption date.

~~In April 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04,~~ Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)~~, which~~provides clarification on how to account for a modification or exchange of free-standing equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after the modification or exchange.

~~In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05, Leases (Topic 842), Lessors – Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments~~ which clarifies that lessors should classify and account for a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate as an operating lease. This ASU is effective for smaller reporting companies in 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3—Asset Acquisition and Business Combination

Biotronik Asset Acquisition

In July 2019, the Company entered into a License and Distribution Agreement with Biotronik and VascoMed GmbH (the “Biotronik Parties”) to obtain certain licenses to the Biotronik Parties’ patents, whereby the Company acquired certain manufacturing equipment and obtained from the Biotronik Parties a license under certain patents and technology to develop, commercialize, distribute and manufacture the AcQBlate Force ablation catheters and Qubic Force ~~device~~Device (the “Biotronik Asset Acquisition"). In exchange for the rights granted to the Company, the Company made cash payments totaling $10.0 million during the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 and issued 273,070 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock valued at $5.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The implied value of $5.0 million was recorded as an accrued liability as of December 31, 2019. In accordance with ASC 805, the Biotronik Asset Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition as substantially all of the $15.0 million value transferred to Biotronik was allocated to intellectual property. On the acquisition date, the products licensed had not yet received regulatory approval and the intellectual property did not have an alternative use. Accordingly, the $15.0 million paid to Biotronik was immediately charged to research and development expense—~~licensed~~license acquired in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in July 2019.

Additional contingent milestone payments of up to $10.0 million, of which $2.0 million has been paid as of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, are to be made to the Biotronik Parties contingent upon certain regulatory approvals and first commercial sale. In further consideration of the rights granted, beginning with the Company’s first commercial sale of the first ~~force~~Force sensing ablation catheter within the licensed product line, the Company also makes per unit royalty payments. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, less than $0.1 million has been included within accrued liabilities for these royalties.

Rhythm Xience Business Combination

On June 18, 2019 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired an integrated family of transseptal crossing and steerable introducer systems through its acquisition of Rhythm Xience for $3.0 million in cash in exchange for all of the stock of Rhythm Xience (the “Rhythm Xience Acquisition”). The cash payment did not include the potential $17.0 million ~~in earn out~~earnout consideration, of which $2.2 million was paid with the issuance of Series D convertible preferred stock in February 2020 and the remainder is to be paid based on the achievement of certain regulatory milestones and revenue milestones. In accordance with ASC 805, the Rhythm Xience Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

As part of the Rhythm Xience Acquisition, the Company recorded a contingent consideration liability for potential additional payments due to the sellers of Rhythm Xience if certain regulatory approval milestones and revenue milestones are achieved. The initial contingent consideration liability of $13.4 million was based on the fair value of the contingent consideration liability at the Acquisition Date. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued 119,993 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock and paid $2.5 million of the contingent consideration for the achievement of certain regulatory and revenue milestones. During the ~~nine months~~year ended ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2021, the Company paid an additional ~~$3.2~~$3.4 million of the contingent consideration for the achievement of certain regulatory and revenue milestones. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company paid an additional $0.9 million of the contingent consideration for the achievement of certain revenue milestones. Additionally, the Company recorded a $0.2 million increase and a $2.0 million decrease ~~and $0.1 million increase~~ for the three months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, and a ~~$3.4~~$1.2 million increase and ~~$1.5~~a $3.4 million decrease to the fair value of the contingent consideration liability for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, which is included in change in fair value of contingent consideration in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the contingent consideration liability of ~~$2.7~~$1.9 million is the fair value of the remaining payments due to the sellers of Rhythm Xience if certain revenue milestones are achieved.

~~For~~On June 30, 2022, the ~~three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, no acquisition costs were incurred or recorded.~~Company sold its Rhythm Xience product line acquired as part of the Rhythm Xience Acquisition to Medtronic. Refer to Note 4 - Sale of Business for further detail.

Note 4—Sale of Business

On June 30, 2022, the Company completed the First Closing in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement with Medtronic, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to Medtronic certain transseptal access and sheath assets which make up the Company's left-heart access portfolio (and which comprised the Rhythm Xience product line acquired as part of the Rhythm Xience Acquisition). The assets transferred to Medtronic upon the First Closing (the “Assets”) include patents, trademarks, patent and trademark applications, know-how, copyrights, prototypes and other intellectual property owned or licensed by the Company, business records and documents (including regulatory and clinical materials) and manufacturing equipment related to the AcQCross® line of sheath-compatible septal crossing devices, AcQGuide® MINI integrated crossing device and sheath, AcQGuide® FLEX Steerable Introducer with integrated transseptal dilator and needle, and AcQGuide® VUE steerable sheaths (the “Products”).

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Medtronic paid $50.0 million at the First Closing, of which $4.0 million was paid into an indemnity escrow account for a period of 18 months following the First Closing to secure indemnification obligations of the Company under the Asset Purchase Agreement, which the Company has recorded as restricted cash, long-term on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.

The Company is also eligible to receive the following contingent cash consideration pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement:

(i) $20.0 million upon the Company’s completion, to the reasonable satisfaction of Medtronic, of certain conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement relating to the Company becoming a qualified supplier of Medtronic for the Products, including demonstration of ISO 14971:2019 compliance, completion of certain test method validations and compliance with certain other reporting requirements (the “OEM Earnout”);

(ii) $17.0 million upon the earlier of (A) the Second Closing (as defined below) or (B) the Company’s initial submission for CE Mark certification of the Products under the European Union Medical Devices Regulation, to the reasonable satisfaction of a third-party regulatory consultant, subject to certain other conditions as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Transfer Earnout”). The Transfer Earnout will be reduced to $13.0 million if the Second Closing does not occur, or the Transfer Earnout is not achieved, within 15 months of the First Closing; and

Table of Contents

(iii) amounts equal to 100%, 75%, 50% and 50%, respectively, of quarterly Net Sales (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) from sales of the Products achieved by Medtronic over each year of a four-year period beginning on the first full quarter after Medtronic’s first commercial sale of a Product and achievement of the OEM Earnout.

None of the above milestones were achieved as of September 30, 2022.

A second closing would occur on a date determined by Medtronic, but no later than the fourth anniversary of the First Closing, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions (the “Second Closing”). At the Second Closing, Medtronic would acquire certain additional assets relating to the Products, primarily supplier agreements and permits and design and specification files required for Medtronic to become the manufacturer of record of the Products. The Asset Purchase Agreement provides that the Company may continue to sell the Products to third parties prior to achievement of the OEM Earnout. Following achievement of the OEM Earnout, the Company would manufacture the Products exclusively for Medtronic pursuant to a distribution agreement executed between the parties.

The Company recorded the following amounts on June 30, 2022, resulting in a net gain of $43.6 million on the sale, calculated as the difference between the non-contingent cash consideration received, direct transaction costs and the net carrying amount of the assets sold. The following sets forth the calculation for the gain on sale as of the First Closing (in thousands):


Non-contingent cash consideration received	$	50,000
Property and equipment sold	(498)
Intangible assets sold	(3,010)
Direct transaction costs	(2,917)
Gain on sale of business, net	$	43,575

The net gain on the sale may be adjusted in future periods by the contingent consideration, based upon the achievement of the pre-determined milestones mentioned above. The sale has been accounted for as a derecognition of a group of assets that is a business pursuant to ASC 810, Consolidation, with the resulting gain classified as operating income within loss from operations on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The sale does not qualify as a discontinued operation because it does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company experienced a significant decline in stock price which reduced the market capitalization below the carrying value of the Company. The Company performed a quantitative assessment of the fair value of its reporting unit. The assessment used a combination of quoted market prices as well as present value calculations which included both the income and market approach. Based on the assessment, the Company concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount in an amount that resulted in the Company fully impairing its goodwill balance of $12.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Acquired in-process technology was classified as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until the receipt of FDA approval for the technology in January 2020. Once the FDA approval was received, the in-process technology was reclassified as developed technology and amortization began.

The amended and restated credit agreement (the “2022 Credit Agreement”) is for an aggregate principal amount of $35.0 million and has a five-year term. Proceeds from the 2022 Credit Agreement, along with cash on hand, were used to repay the then existing 2019 Credit Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses.

Under the 2022 Credit Agreement, amortization payments become due as follows: 15% of the principal due at the end of month 36, 15% of the principal due at the end of month 48 and the remaining 70% due at the end of month 60 following the closing of the loan. The new debt facility will bear interest at the one-month adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate, with a floor of 2.50% per annum, plus 9.00% per annum.

The 2022 Warrants represent a freestanding financial instrument and are conditionally puttable at the holder’s option upon an event that is outside of the Company’s control. Therefore, the 2022 Warrants are classified as liability pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, initially and subsequently recognized at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company’s warrants provide the holder the option to purchase a specified number of shares for a specified price. The holder may exercise the warrant in cash or exercise pursuant to a cashless exercise whereby a calculated number of shares are withheld upon exercise to satisfy the exercise price. The warrants do not provide the holder any voting rights until the warrants are exercised.

In accordance with ASC 480, the 2022 Credit Agreement warrants issued as of September 30, 2022 were recorded as liabilities at fair value at the issuance date. Changes in the fair value will be recognized in change in fair value of warrant liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss at the end of each subsequent reporting period. For the quarter ending September 30, 2022, a favorable fair value change of $0.9 million was recognized.

Prior to the IPO, in accordance with ASC 815, the warrants issued in 2019 and prior, other than the ones issued in 2015, were also recorded as liabilities at fair value at the issuance date (the 2015 warrants have been equity classified since their issuance). Changes in the fair value were recognized in change in fair value of warrant liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss at the end of each reporting period. On August ~~10,~~10. 2020, in connection with the closing of the IPO, the warrants recorded as liabilities no longer met the definition of a derivative. Accordingly, the fair value of the common and preferred stock warrant liability of $14.5 million was reclassified to stockholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In connection with the Exchange Agreements (see Note 15), 4four warrant holders are limited to exercising their warrants such that, following any such exercise, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by such holder cannot exceed 4.9% of the outstanding common stock of the Company (two of the holders may, at their option and upon sufficient prior written notice to the Company, increase such percentage to 9.9%). In the event the common share limit has been met and the holder chooses to exercise their warrants, the holder can sell any common stock they hold. Therefore, the amendment to the warrant agreements does not restrict the holder from fully exercising the warrants under the original terms of the warrant agreements.

~~Note 14—Convertible Preferred Stock~~

In February 2020, the Company issued 119,993 shares of its Series D convertible preferred stock with an implied value of $2.2 million in connection with a contingent consideration payment related to the Rhythm Xience Acquisition.

In February 2020, the Company issued 273,070 shares of its Series D convertible preferred stock with an implied value of $5.0 million for the stock issuance portion of the purchase consideration of the Biotronik Asset Acquisition.

On August 10, 2020, in connection with the closing of the IPO, all of the 391,210 shares of Series A, 3,088,444 shares of Series B, 4,499,921 shares of Series C and 8,593,360 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock automatically converted into an equal number of shares of common stock.

Table of Contents

~~Redemption~~

The convertible preferred stock was not unconditionally redeemable at the option of the holder thereof. However, the convertible preferred stock was contingently redeemable upon certain liquidation events. As redemption by the holders was not solely within the control of the Company, all of the outstanding convertible preferred stock was classified as temporary equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, prior to the conversion to common stock on August 10, 2020.

~~Dividends~~

The holders of shares of convertible preferred stock were entitled to receive dividends, out of any assets legally available therefore, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend on the common stock of the Company, at the applicable dividend rate, payable on a ~~pro rata~~, ~~pari passu~~ basis when, as and if declared by the Company’s board of directors. The dividend rate was $0.68 per annum for each share of Series A convertible preferred stock, $1.07 per annum for each share of Series B convertible preferred stock and $1.36 per annum for each share of Series C convertible preferred stock and Series D convertible preferred stock, as adjusted. The dividend rights were not cumulative.

~~Liquidation~~

The holders of the Series D convertible preferred stock were entitled to receive a liquidation preference prior to any distribution to the holders of Series A convertible preferred stock, Series B convertible preferred stock and Series C convertible preferred stock (collectively the “Junior Preferred Stock”) and the holders of common stock, in the amount of the original issue price plus declared but unpaid dividends on such shares (the “Series D Liquidation Preference”). The holders of the Junior Preferred Stock were entitled to receive a liquidation preference prior to any distribution to the holders of common stock, after payment of the Series D Liquidation Preference, in the amount of the applicable original issue price plus declared but unpaid dividends on such shares.

~~Voting Rights~~

Holders of convertible preferred stock had the right to 1 vote for each share of common stock into which such preferred stock could then be converted, and with respect to such vote, such holder had full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of common stock.

As long as any shares of Series D convertible preferred stock were outstanding, the holders of such shares of Series D convertible preferred stock (voting exclusively as a separate series) were entitled to elect 1 director. As long as any shares of Series C convertible preferred stock were outstanding, the holders of such shares of Series C convertible preferred stock (voting exclusively as a separate series) were entitled to elect 3 directors. As long as any shares of Series A convertible preferred stock or Series B convertible preferred stock were outstanding, the holders of such shares (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as converted basis) were entitled to elect 4 directors. The holders of outstanding common stock were entitled to elect 1 director. The holders of convertible preferred stock and common stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as converted basis) were entitled to elect any remaining directors.

~~Conversion~~

Each share of preferred stock was convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock as was determined by dividing the original issue price, as adjusted, for such series by the applicable conversion price for such series in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The initial conversion price per share for each series of convertible preferred stock was the original issue price applicable to such series as follows:


~~Series~~	Conversion Price
~~Series A convertible preferred stock~~	$	~~8.295~~
~~Series B convertible preferred stock~~	$	~~13.370~~
~~Series C convertible preferred stock~~	$	~~16.667~~
~~Series D convertible preferred stock~~	$	~~16.667~~

Each share of convertible preferred stock was automatically convertible into fully-paid, non-assessable shares of common stock at the conversion rate at the time in effect for such series of preferred stock immediately upon: (i) the date, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent or agreement of the requisite investors; or (ii) the closing of the sale of shares of

common stock to the public, at a price of at least $50.00 per share, as adjusted, in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in at least $50.0 million of net proceeds to the Company. As noted above, on August 10, 2020, all shares of Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D convertible preferred stock were converted into common stock.

Note 15—Stockholders’ Equity

Series A Common Equivalent Preferred Stock

In August 2021, the Company entered into exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with 4four investors pursuant to which the investors exchanged 6,665,841 shares of the Company’s common stock for 6,666 shares of a new series of non-voting convertible preferred stock of the Company designated as “Series A Common Equivalent Preferred Stock,” par value $0.001 per share. In connection with the issuance of Series A Common Equivalent Preferred Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, on August 23, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series A Common Equivalent Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

The Series A Common Equivalent Preferred Stock will participate equally and ratably on an as-converted basis with the holders of common stock in all cash dividends paid on the common stock. The Series A Common Equivalent Preferred Stock is non-voting.

The holder thereof may convert each share of Series A Common Equivalent Preferred Stock into 1,000 shares of common stock at its election, except to the extent that, following such conversion, the number of shares of common stock held by such holder, its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of common stock would be aggregated with such holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including shares held by any “group” (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of which such holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth in the Series A Certificate of Designation, exceeds 4.9% (or, at the election of the holders, OrbiMed Private Investments IV, LP or OrbiMed Royalty Opportunities II, LP, made by delivering at least 61 days advance written notice to the Company of its intention to increase the beneficial ownership cap applicable to such holder, to 9.9%) of the total number of shares of common stock then issued and outstanding.

Stock Options

~~The stock~~Stock options granted generally vest over four years and have a ~~ten year~~ten-year contractual term. 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. The Company's common stock became publicly traded in August 2020 and lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, the Company estimates its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of a set of publicly traded peer companies. Due to the lack of historical exercise history, the expected term of the Company’s stock options has been determined using the “simplified” method for awards. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. 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 the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of stock options for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020:~~2021:

Repricing

On July 15, 2022, and in accordance with the terms of the Company’s 2011 and 2020 Plans, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock option repricing (the “2022 Repricing”) where the exercise price of each designated option was reduced to $1.34 per share, the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock as of the market close on July 25, 2022. “Designated options” are all outstanding stock options to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued to active

employees (not a non-employee member of the Board or a consultant) of the Company as of July 25, 2022. All outstanding options will continue to remain outstanding in accordance with their current terms and conditions. On the modification date, the Company recognized $0.3 million of additional stock based compensation from vested options. As unvested options continue to vest, the Company anticipates an additional $0.3 million will be expensed over the period from the date of the modification through 2025.

Note 17—Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per common share excludes the potential impact of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, common stock options and warrants because their effect would be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss. Since the Company had a net loss in the periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same.

The table below provides potentially dilutive securities not included in the calculation of the diluted net loss per common share because to do so would be anti-dilutive:

Overview

We are an arrhythmia management company focused on improving the way cardiac arrhythmias are diagnosed and treated. Despite several decades of effort by the incumbents in this field, the clinical and economic challenges associated with arrhythmia treatment continue to be a huge burden for patients, providers and payors. We are committed to advancing the field of electrophysiology with a unique array of products and technologies which will enable more physicians to treat more patients more effectively and efficiently. Through internal product development, acquisitions and global partnerships, we have established a global sales presence delivering a broad portfolio of highly differentiated electrophysiology products. Our goal is to provide our customers with a complete solution for catheter-based treatment of cardiac arrhythmias in each of our geographic markets.

Our product portfolio includes novel access catheters, diagnostic and mapping catheters, ablation catheters, mapping and imaging consoles and accessories, as well as supporting algorithms and software programs. Our foundational and most highly differentiated product is our AcQMap imaging and mapping system. Our paradigm-shifting AcQMap System offers a novel approach to mapping the drivers and maintainers of arrhythmias with unmatched speed and precision. With the ability to rapidly and accurately identify ablation targets and to confirm both ablation success and procedural completion, we believe our AcQMap System addresses ~~the~~a significant primary unmet need in electrophysiology procedures today.

We were incorporated in the ~~State~~state of Delaware on March 25, 2011 and are headquartered in Carlsbad, California. Early versions of our AcQMap System and certain related accessory products have been used in the United States since May 2018 and Western Europe since July 2016 in a limited, pilot launch capacity, where our focus was on optimizing workflow and validating our value proposition. We fully commenced the launch of our commercial-grade console and software products in the first quarter of 2020. Critical to our launch ~~were~~and future market adoption are a series of ~~recent~~ strategic transactions, ~~and~~ regulatory approvals, and clinical trial milestones including: ongoing development and expansion of our bi-lateral distribution agreement with Biotronik SE & Co. KG ("Biotronik"), Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) 510(k) clearance and CE Mark of our second-generation AcQMap console and SuperMap software suite; the addition of an integrated family of transseptal crossing and steerable introducer systems to our product portfolio through our acquisition of Rhythm Xience, Inc. (“Rhythm Xience”); and the ~~acquisition~~completion of enrollment in our US clinical study for the AcQBlate Force sensing ablation catheter and system. In June of 2022, we completed the first closing of the sale of our left-heart access portfolio to Medtronic, Inc. ("Medtronic") as described further below. We will continue to distribute this product line ~~from Biotronik SE & Co. KG (“Biotronik”~~until Medtronic qualifies us as an original equipment manufacturer ("OEM")~~. Since our full launch, we have continued~~ and will manufacture this product line exclusively for Medtronic for a period of up to ~~enhance our~~four years until such time that Medtronic transfers the product ~~portfolio~~to a dedicated manufacturing facility and ~~global presence by entering into bi-lateral distribution agreements with Biotronik in May 2020, which added a full suite~~becomes the manufacturer of ~~diagnostic and ablation catheters to our product portfolio and significantly expanded our international distribution and market development capabilities.~~record.

We market our electrophysiology products worldwide to hospitals and electrophysiologists that treat patients with arrhythmias. We have strategically developed a direct selling presence in the United States and select markets in Western Europe where cardiac ablation is a standard of care and third-party reimbursement is well-established. In these markets, we install our AcQMap console and workstation with customer accounts and then sell our disposable products to those accounts for use with our system. In other international markets, we leverage our partnership with Biotronik to install our AcQMap console and workstation with customer accounts and then to sell our disposable products to those accounts. Once an AcQMap console and workstation is established in a customer account, our revenue from that account becomes predominantly recurring in nature and derived from the sale of our portfolio of disposable products used with our system. Our currently marketed disposable products

include access sheaths, transseptal crossing tools, diagnostic and mapping catheters, ablation catheters and accessories. We plan

~~Table of Contents~~

to leverage the geographically concentrated nature of procedure volumes and the recurring nature of our sales to drive an increasingly efficient commercial model.

For the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, we generated revenue of ~~$12.9~~$11.4 million and ~~$5.9~~$12.9 million, respectively, of which ~~51%~~48% and ~~46%~~51%, respectively, was from customers located outside of the United ~~States, respectively .~~States. Since our inception, we have generated significant losses. Our net loss was ~~$86.4~~$54.7 million and ~~$72.6~~$86.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. As of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we had an accumulated deficit of ~~$447.4~~$533.4 million and ~~$361.0~~$478.7 million, respectively, and working capital of ~~$137.6~~$75.6 million and ~~$129.5~~$107.8 million, respectively. Prior to our initial public offering (“IPO”) on August 10, 2020, our operations ~~have been~~were financed primarily by aggregate net proceeds from the sale of our convertible preferred stock and principal of our converted debt of $253.9 million, as well as other indebtedness.

On January 19, 2022, we announced a corporate restructuring to reduce our operating expenses and optimize our cash resources, pursuant to which we undertook a reduction in force (“RIF”) and implemented additional cost reduction measures. The restructuring was the result of a detailed review of our strategic priorities, the external environment, and cost structure and is intended to sharpen our focus and strengthen our financial position. As part of the restructuring, we intend to ~~continue to make significant investments~~prioritize maximizing console utilization and procedure volume growth in our sales and marketing organization. We believe increasing the number of sales representatives and expanding our global marketing programs will help facilitate further adoption of our products among existing customer accountstargeted geographic regions, as well as ~~broaden awareness~~a more focused scope of product development initiatives. Based on the timing of notifications under the Worker Adjustment and ~~utilization~~Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Act, we started realizing the benefits of our ~~products~~restructuring plan beginning late in the first quarter of 2022. Effective July 25, 2022, and in accordance with the terms of the Acutus Medical, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan and the Acutus Medical, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, we also reduced the exercise price of outstanding options to ~~new accounts. We also expect~~purchase our common stock held by employees who were employed on July 25, 2022 (and who had not provided a notice of resignation prior to such date) to $1.34 per share, which was the closing price for our common stock on July 25, 2022.

Our sales organization will continue to ~~make substantial investments~~focus on driving utilization and procedure growth in our ongoing clinical trials and in additional clinical trials that are designed to provide clinical evidence of the safety and effectiveness of our existing and future generations of products. We expect to continue to make investmentstargeted geographic regions. Investments in research and development and clinical and regulatory affairs ~~to develop future generations of products based~~will have a focused scope on ~~our technology, supported with appropriate regulatory submissions. We may in the future seek~~key product development initiatives. Additionally, we will continue to acquire or invest in additional businesses, products or technologies that we believe could complement or expand our portfolio, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities. We will also incur costs as a public company that we ~~have~~did not ~~previously~~incur prior to our IPO or incurred ~~or have previously incurred~~prior to our IPO at lower rates, including increased costs for employee-related expenses, director and officer insurance premiums, audit and legal fees, investor relations fees, fees to members of our ~~board~~Board of ~~directors~~Directors and expenses for compliance with ~~public-company~~public company reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and rules implemented by the ~~Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”),~~SEC, as well as Nasdaq rules. Because of these and other factors, we expect to continue to incur substantial net losses and negative cash flows from operations for at least the next several years.

Contingent Consideration Relating to Sale of Left-heart Access Portfolio

On June 30, 2022, we completed the first closing (the “First Closing”) in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Medtronic executed on April 26, 2022, pursuant to which we agreed to sell to Medtronic certain transseptal access and sheath assets which make up our left-heart access portfolio (and which comprised the Rhythm Xience product line acquired as part of the Rhythm Xience Acquisition) (the “Products”). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Medtronic paid $50.0 million at the First Closing, of which $4.0 million was paid into an indemnity escrow account for a period of 18 months following the First Closing to secure our indemnification obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement, which we recorded as restricted cash, long-term on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.

On October 31, 2022 the Company was notified by Medtronic conditions for the OEM Earnout have been satisfied which entitles the company to a $20.0 million payout. The conditions met were set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement and required the Company to certain manufacturing standards which included demonstration of ISO 14971:2019 compliance.

Additionally, we are eligible to receive the following contingent cash consideration pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement:

•$17.0 million upon the earlier of (A) the Second Closing (as defined below) or (B) our initial submission for CE Mark certification of the Products under the European Union Medical Devices Regulation, to the reasonable satisfaction of a third-party regulatory consultant, subject to certain other conditions as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Transfer Earnout”). The Transfer Earnout will be reduced to $13.0 million if the Second Closing does not occur, or the Transfer Earnout is not achieved, within 15 months of the First Closing; and

•amounts equal to 100%, 75%, 50% and 50%, respectively, of quarterly Net Sales (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) from sales of the Products achieved by Medtronic over each year of a four-year period beginning on the first full quarter after Medtronic’s first commercial sale of a Product and achievement of the OEM Earnout.

Table of Contents

The OEM Earnout was achieved on October 31, 2022. Accordingly, cash consideration of $20.0 million payable to the Company for the satisfaction of the OEM Earnout is due from Medtronic on or before November 30, 2022. None of the other milestones above were achieved as of September 30, 2022.

A second closing would occur on a date determined by Medtronic, but no later than the fourth anniversary of the First Closing, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions (the “Second Closing”). At the Second Closing, Medtronic would acquire certain additional assets relating to the Products, primarily supplier agreements and permits and design and specification files required for Medtronic to become the manufacturer of record of the Products. We will be entitled to continue selling the Products to third parties until we receive notice from Medtronic that Medtronic intends to initiate distribution of the Products under the Distribution Agreement between the Company and Medtronic entered into in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, at which point Medtronic would become our exclusive distributor of the Products.

We believe our installed base is ~~one of the~~a key ~~indicators~~driver of our ~~ability to drive customer adoption of our products.~~business model, enabling utilization and disposable pull-through. We define our installed base as the cumulative number of AcQMap consoles and workstations placed into service at customer ~~sites. Beginning in late 2019, we began to~~sites.We install our ~~second-generation~~ AcQMap console and workstation with customers under evaluation contracts. Under these evaluation contracts, we place our AcQMap console and workstation with customers for no upfront fee to the customer during the applicable evaluation period and seek to reach agreement with the customer for the purchase of the console and workstation in the form of a contractual commitment to purchase a minimum amount of our disposable products or a cash purchase. Beginning in 2022 we started to remove and reposition low utilization AcQMap consoles which has resulted in a decreased installed base in the US. Our total installed base as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 is set forth in the table below:

Growth in our quarterly installed base can fluctuate due to a number of factors, including the commercial effectiveness of our sales representatives and strategic partners such as Biotronik, and the procurement and budgeting cycles of many of our customers, especially those where unused funds may be forfeited or future budgets may be reduced if purchases are not made by their fiscal year end. We also believe the timing of installations has been impacted and will continue to be impacted by the timing of product introductions and transitions. In addition, the growth of our market in certain geographic regions and our continued efforts to service these regions impact unit volumes quarter to quarter. In the U.S., we placed four systems and removed four systems from our installed base at hospitals with insufficient utilization to support a long-term contractual commitment, during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Outside of the U.S., we placed one system and moved one system to a new site with higher expected utilization during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

There are a number of factors that have impacted, and we believe will continue to impact, or that we expect to impact, our results of operations and growth. These factors include:

Table of Contents

•Market Acceptance. The growth of our business will depend substantially on our ability to increase our installed base. Once an AcQMap console and workstation is established in a customer account, our revenue from that account becomes predominantly recurring in nature and derived from the sale of our portfolio of disposable products used with our system. Our ability to increase our installed base will depend on our ability to gain broader acceptance of our AcQMap System by continuing to make physicians and other hospital staff aware of the benefits of the AcQMap System, thereby generating increased demand for system installations and the frequency of use of our disposable products. Although we are attempting to increase our installed base through our established relationships and focused sales efforts, we cannot provide assurance that our efforts will be successful.

•Commercial Organization Size and Effectiveness. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, our commercial organization consisted of 8856 individuals with substantial applicable medical device, sales and clinical experience, which is comprised of sales representatives, sales managers, mappers and marketing personnel. We intend to continue to make ~~significant~~ investments in our commercial organization ~~by increasing the number of our~~in training, developing, continuing education, and targeted increases in sales representatives, sales managers and mappers ~~as well as by expanding our global marketing and training programs,~~ to help facilitate further adoption of our products among existing and new customer accounts. The ~~rate at~~effectiveness with which we ~~grow~~manage our commercial organization, ~~and~~ the speed at which newly hired personnel ~~become effective~~contribute to business performance, and the impact of turnover can impact our revenue growth or our costs incurred in anticipation of such growth.

•Strategic Partnerships and Acquisitions. We have in the past, and may in the future, enter into strategic partnerships and acquire complementary businesses, products or technologies. For example, we have entered into ~~strategic partnerships with Innovative Health and Stereotaxis and, most recently, we entered into~~ our Global Alliance for Electrophysiology with ~~Biotronik in May 2020.~~Biotronik. In addition, we ~~added an integrated family of transseptal crossing and steerable introducer systems to our product portfolio through our acquisition of Rhythm Xience in June 2019 and~~ acquired our AcQBlate Force Sensing Ablation System from Biotronik in July 2019. Our strategic partnerships and acquisitions have helped us establish a global sales presence delivering a broad portfolio of highly differentiated electrophysiology products. Our ability to grow our revenue will depend substantially on our ability to leverage our strategic partnerships and acquisitions to achieve distribution at a global scale, broaden our product portfolio and enable and accelerate global connectivity.

~~Table~~•Achievement of ~~Contents~~Contingent Consideration Relating to Sale of Left-heart Access Portfolio.

Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, we are eligible to receive contingent consideration payments of up to $37 million associated with certain manufacturing and regulatory milestones as described above, of which $20 million was earned on October 31, 2022 upon our becoming a qualified supplier of the Products to Medtronic. In addition to these payments, we are eligible to receive up to four years of revenue-based earnouts as described above. We cannot provide assurance, however, that our efforts to achieve the remaining milestones under the Asset Purchase Agreement will be successful, nor can we provide any assurance as to the amount of revenue-based earnouts that will be earned under the Asset Purchase Agreement, if any.

•Continued Investment in Innovation. Our business strategy relies significantly on innovation to develop and introduce new products and to differentiate our products from our competitors. In ~~2020,~~2021, research and development continued to provide both new products as well as generational improvements to the current product lines through the release of ~~five major~~multiple versions of software ~~six~~and disposable products including ~~our first therapy device, and a~~ significant ~~improvement~~improvements to our mapping system hardware. Additionally, research efforts evolved into development projects for advanced therapies, improved navigational accuracy and enhanced mapping capabilities. We expect our investments in research and development ~~expenditures~~ to ~~increase~~decrease as we ~~make additional investments to support our growth strategies.~~have a focused scope on key product development initiatives. We plan ~~to increase~~ our research and development expenditures in accordance with our internal initiatives, as well as potentially licensing or acquiring technology from third parties. For example, in April 2021, the Company and Biotronik entered into a Feasibility and Development Agreement to pursue the development of hardware, software and IT infrastructure to implement the Qubic Connect System. We also expect expenditures associated with our manufacturing organization to grow over time as production volume increases and we bring new products to market. Our internal and external investments will be focused on initiatives that we believe will offer the greatest opportunity for growth and profitability. With a significant investment in research and development, a strong focus on innovation and a well-managed innovation process, we believe we can continue to innovate and grow. Introducing additional, innovative products is also expected to help support our existing installed base and help drive demand for additional installations of our system. If, however, our future innovations are not successful in meeting customers’ needs or prove to be too costly relative to their perceived benefit, we may not be successful. Moreover, as cost of products sold, operating expenses and capital expenditures fluctuate over time, we may experience short-term, negative impacts to our results of operations and cash flows, but we are undertaking such investments in the belief that they will contribute to long-term growth.

•Product and Geographic Mix and Timing. Our financial results, including our gross margins, may fluctuate from period to period due to a variety of factors, including: average selling prices; production volumes; the cost of direct materials; the timing of customer orders or medical procedures and the timing and number of

Table of Contents

system installations; the number of available selling days in a particular period, which can be impacted by a number of factors such as holidays or days of severe inclement weather in a particular geography; the mix of products sold and the geographic mix of where products are sold; the level of reimbursement available for our products; discounting practices; manufacturing costs; product yields; and headcount and cost-reduction strategies. For example, gross margins on the sale of our products by our direct selling organization in the United States and Western Europe are higher than gross margins on the sale of our products by Biotronik in other parts of the world. Moreover, gross margins on the sale of our proprietary products are generally higher than gross margins on the sale of products we source through our strategic partnerships with third parties. Future selling prices and gross margins for our products may fluctuate due to a variety of other factors, including the introduction by others of competing products or the attempted integration by third parties of capabilities similar to ours into their existing products. We aim to mitigate downward pressure on our selling prices by increasing the value proposition offered by our products through innovation. While we have not yet experienced significant seasonality in our results, it is not uncommon in our industry to experience seasonally weaker revenue during the summer months and end-of-year holiday season.

•Regulatory Approvals/Clearances and Timing and Efficiency of New Product Introductions. In May ~~2021,~~2022, we ~~received FDA approval to initialize an atrial fibrillation investigational device exemption trial~~completed enrollment in ~~the United States with~~our US Investigational Device Exemption study for the AcQBlate Force Sensing Ablation ~~System.~~System for use in right atrial flutter. We filed for US Premarket Approval ("PMA") on October 4, 2022. Additionally, we received CE Mark approval for a broad suite of electrophysiology products that includes the AcQCross family of universal transseptal crossing devices, the next-generation AcQGuide MAX and AcQGuide VUE large bore delivery sheaths and the next-generation AcQMap mapping catheter in May 2021. We also received FDA clearance of our AcQCross family of universal transseptal crossing devices in April 2021. Further, we received CE Mark in December 2020 in Europe for the use of our AcQBlate Force Sensing Ablation System and are seeking FDA ~~Premarket Approval~~PMA for this system in the United States, as well as regulatory clearance or approval of our other pipeline products in the United States and in international markets. Our ability to grow our revenue will depend on our obtaining necessary regulatory approvals or clearances for our products. In addition, as we introduce new products, we expect to build our inventory of components and finished goods in advance of sales, which may cause quarterly and annual fluctuations in our results of operations.

•Competition. Our industry is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants. Our most significant competitors are large, well-capitalized companies. We must continue to successfully compete considering our competitors’ existing and future products and related pricing and their resources to successfully market to the physicians who could use our products. ~~Publications~~Publication of clinical results by us, our competitors and other third

~~Table of Contents~~

parties can also have a significant influence on whether, and the degree to which, we are able to gain market share and increase utilization of our products.

•COVID-19 Pandemic. Beginning in early March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures imposed to contain this pandemic disrupted and are expected to continue to impact our business. For example, on March 19, 2020, the Executive Department of the State of California issued Executive Order N-33-20, ordering all individuals in the State of California to stay home or at their place of residence except as needed to maintain continuity of operations of the federal critical infrastructure sectors. Our primary operations are located in Carlsbad, California. As a result of such order, the majority of our employees have telecommuted, which may impact certain of our operations over the near term and long term. Moreover, beginning in March 2020 and continuing through the filing of this Form 10-Q,.COVID-19 has restricted access to hospitals and other customer sites, ~~was restricted to essential personnel,~~ which has negatively impacted our ability to install our AcQMap consoles and workstations in new accounts and for our sales representatives and mappers to promote the use of our products with physicians. Moreover, hospitals and other therapeutic centers suspended many elective procedures, resulting in a significantly reduced volume of procedures using our products. In addition, all clinical trials in Europe were suspended with follow-ups for clinical trials done via telecom, and we believe enrollment timing in our planned clinical trials will be slowed due to COVID-19 driven delayed access to enrollment sites. As a result of the interruptions to our business due to COVID-19, we enacted a cash conservation program, which included delaying certain non-critical capital expenditures and other projects and implementing a hiring freeze, headcount reductions and temporary compensation reductions (through August 2020). The effects of the pandemic began to decrease in late April 2020 as electrophysiology labs began reopening and procedure volumes began increasing as compared to COVID-19 related low points in March 2020. Our initial public offering (“IPO”) in August 2020 provided resources sufficient to restore compensation reductions to pre-COVID levels, as well as to restart hiring and capital expenditures in support of our growth. Over the past 12-months, we have continued to observe intermittent suspension of many elective procedures associated with the resurgence of COVID-19 in geographies where we sell, market and distribute our products. In addition,Furthermore, the impact of COVID-19 has varied by region and by healthcare facility, hampering our ability to forecast the sustained impact on our business from COVID-19. We expect medical procedure rates to continue to ~~see intermittent suspension~~vary by therapy and country, and such rates could be impacted by regional COVID-19 case volumes, healthcare staffing shortages, patient's willingness to schedule deferrable procedures, travel restrictions, transportation limitations, quarantine restriction, vaccine and booster immunization rates, and new COVID-19 variants. While COVID-19 case volumes have decreased in the United States and certain other countries as a result of ~~many elective procedures in many hospitals, resulting in reduced volume of procedures using our products.~~higher vaccination rates, the global COVID-19 outlook remains uncertain. The magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our productivity, results of operations and financial position, and its disruption to our business and our clinical programs and timelines, will depend, in part, on the length and severity of ~~the pandemic, associated~~outbreaks, restrictions and other measures designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and on our ability to conduct business in the ordinary course. Quarantines, shelter-in-place and similar government orders have also impacted, and may continue to impact, our third-party manufacturers and suppliers, and could in turn adversely impact the availability or cost of materials, which could disrupt our supply chain. The markets we serve ~~are likely to~~could see continued impacts from COVID-19 for the foreseeable future, and the emergence of new variants of COVID-19 creates significant uncertainty as to how long COVID-19 will continue to impact our business.

•Global Supply Chain Disruption. Our costs are subject to fluctuations, particularly due to change in the price of raw and packing materials and the cost of labor, transportation and operating supplies. In addition, it is possible that we may be negatively affected from unexpected delays resulting from global supply-chain disruptions and other adverse global conditions, including supply shortages of key electronic components and other raw materials, vendor disruptions related to COVID-19, extended lead times for raw material procurement, or geopolitical factors that could restrict the manufacturing and delivery of raw materials or other components.

•Variability in Operating Results. In addition, we may experience meaningful variability in our ~~quarterly~~yearly revenue and gross profit/loss as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to: competitive activity; trends in elective procedure volumes; inventory write-offs and write-downs; costs, benefits and timing of new product introductions; ~~timing of system sales; pace of installed base growth; fluctuations in elective procedures;~~ the availability and cost of components and raw materials; ~~and~~ fluctuations in foreign currency exchange ~~rates.~~rates, inflation rates and interest rates; and our ability to realize the benefits of our recent corporate restructuring. Additionally, we may experience quarters in which our costs and operating expenses, in particular our research and development expenses, fluctuate depending on the stage and timing of product development.

While certain of these factors may present significant opportunities for us, they ~~all~~also pose significant risks and challenges that we must address. See the section titled “Risk Factors” for more information.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Our revenue consists of: (i) revenue from the sale of our disposable products; (ii) revenue from the sale, rental, or leasing of systems; and (iii) service/other revenue. In the United States and select markets in Western Europe where we have developed a direct selling presence, we install our AcQMap console and workstation with our customer accounts and then generate revenue from the sale of our disposable products to these accounts for use with our system. We also generate revenue from the direct sale of our AcQMap console into hospital accounts as well as revenue through long-term customer commitments on disposable purchases. In other international markets, we leverage our partnership with Biotronik to install our AcQMap console and workstation with customer accounts and then generate revenue from Biotronik’s sale of our disposable products to these accounts for use with our system. Our currently

~~Table of Contents~~

marketed disposable products include access sheaths, ~~transseptal crossing tools,~~ diagnostic and mapping catheters, ablation catheters and accessories.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, approximately 48% and ~~2020, approximately~~ 51% ~~and 46%~~, respectively, of our sales were sold outside of the ~~U.S.~~United States. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, approximately 23% and ~~2020, approximately~~ 24% ~~and 40%~~ of our sales ~~are~~were denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, primarily in Euros and the British Pound Sterling. Our revenue is subject to fluctuation based on the foreign currency in which our products are sold. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, changes in foreign currency rates negatively impacted sales growth compared to the prior year by an estimated $0.3 million, and adversely impacted growth by 2.4%.

Costs and Operating Expenses

Cost of Products Sold

Cost of products sold consist primarily of raw materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead associated with the production and sale of our disposable products and, to a more limited extent, production and depreciation of our AcQMap ~~consoles~~console and ~~workstations~~workstation that we install with our customer accounts. We depreciate equipment over a three-year period. Cost of products sold also includes expenditures for warranty, field service, freight, royalties and inventory reserve provisions. We expect cost of products sold to increase in absolute dollars in future periods as our revenue increases.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel directly engaged in research and development activities, clinical trial expenses, equipment costs, materials costs, allocated rent and facilities costs and depreciation.

Research and development expenses related to possible future products are expensed as incurred. We also accrue and expense costs for activities associated with clinical trials performed by third parties as incurred. All other costs relative to setting up clinical trial sites are expensed as incurred. Clinical trial site costs related to patient enrollment are accrued as patients are entered into the trials.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel in sales, executive, finance and other administrative functions, allocated rent and facilities costs,

Restructuring Expenses

To align resources with our ~~professional education~~current strategic direction, on January 19, 2022, we undertook a RIF and ~~physician training, as well as~~have implemented additional cost reduction measures. Our restructuring expenses consist of severance expenses related to support our expanded infrastructure and incur increased costs associated with operating as a public company. These increases are expected to include increased costs for fees to members of our board of directors, increased employee-related expenses, and increased director and officer insurance premiums, audit and legal fees, investor relations fees and expenses for compliance with public company reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and rules implementedemployees affected by the ~~SEC, as well as stock exchange rules.~~organizational RIF.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

The change in fair value of contingent consideration relates to the contingent consideration associated with our June 2019 acquisition of Rhythm Xience, an entity with an integrated family of transseptal crossing and steerable introducer systems. This acquisition included potential earn out considerations based on the achievement of certain regulatory milestones and revenue milestones. Changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration earn out are recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, and reflect the changes within this account.

Gain on Sale of Business

On June 30, 2022, we completed the sale of certain assets to Medtronic.Refer to Note 4 - Sale of Business for more information.

Other Income (Expense)

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability

~~We accounted for certain of our freestanding~~The warrants to purchase shares of our common stock issued pursuant to our credit agreement with Deerfield Private Design Fund III, L.P and ~~preferred stock as liabilities at fair value.

Cost of Products Sold

Cost of products sold was $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, ~~2021, compared~~2021. This decrease of $1.5 million, or 19%, was primarily attributable to ~~$5.1~~$1.0 million in inventory revaluation, an ERC credit of $0.8 million, $0.4 million reduction in Standard COGS primarily from system sales, offset by $0.5 million increase in idle capacity, and a $0.1 million increase in Scrap. Gross margin was negative 91% for the three months ended September 30, ~~2020. This increase of $3.4 million, or 66%, was primarily driven by an increase of $2.1 million in depreciation~~2022, and ~~freight expense to support the higher installed base and an increase of $0.7 million due to the growth in revenue. Gross margin was~~ negative 86% for the three months ended September 30, ~~2021, and negative 62% for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

For the three months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, we recorded ~~changes in fair value~~an increase of ~~contingent consideration of~~$0.2 million and a decrease of $2.0 ~~million and an increase of $0.1~~ million, respectively, for the change in the fair value of the contingent consideration for the acquisition of Rhythm Xience. The increase in 2022 was primarily attributable to an increase in the expected term, while the decrease in 2021 was primarily attributable to a decrease in projected net revenue, along with a decrease to the expected term.

Change in Fair Value of Warrants

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 the fair value decreased by $0.9 million. The change in Fair Value of the warrants is primarily due to a reduction of the Company's share price, as of September 30, 2022.

Cost of Products Sold

Cost of products sold was $23.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $23.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021, compared~~2021. This increase of $0.6 million, or 3%, was primarily attributable to ~~$11.0~~$1. million in Capitalized manufacturing variances, $2.3 million in Realized manufacturing variances, $1.4 million in excess and obsolete reserve adjustment. Increases were offset by $0.5 million reduction in Direct Temp Labor, $1.6 million cost revaluation expense due to Standard Cost increases and Lower Cost of Market adjustments and a $2.3 million benefit attributable to an Employee Tax Credit ("ERC") received under the CARES Act. Gross margin was negative 107% for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020. This increase of $12.0 million, or 109%, was primarily driven by an increase of $5.4 million due to the growth in revenue, a $5.4 million increase in depreciation~~2022 and ~~freight expense to support the higher installed base, and a $1.0 million excess and obsolete inventory charge primarily related to our disposable products. Gross margin was~~ negative 78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and negative 87% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This improvement in gross margin was primarily attributable to increased revenue and higher production volumes, partially offset by the write-off of excess and obsolete inventory in the first quarter of 2021, related to our transition to fully in-house manufacturing and product line transition for our transseptal crossing device portfolio, as well as for slow moving inventory related to certain products impacted by COVID-19 headwinds.2021.

The ~~change~~increase in ~~2021, compared~~2022 was primarily attributable to ~~2020,~~an increase in the expected term, while the decrease in 2021 was primarily attributable to a decrease in projected net revenue, along with a decrease to the expected term.

Liquidity, ~~and~~ Capital Resources, and Going Concern

We have limited revenue, have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception, and we anticipate that we will incur significant losses for at least the next several years. As of September 30, ~~2021~~2022, and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we had cash, ~~and~~ cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of ~~$134.5~~$70.5 million and ~~$139.8~~$108.0 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~the year ended December 31, 2020, our~~2021, net losses were ~~$86.4~~$54.7 million and ~~$102.0~~$86.4 million, respectively, and ~~our~~ net cash used in operating activities was $72.1 million and $77.1 million respectively. As of September 30, 2022, and ~~$85.2 million, respectively. We~~December 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of ~~$447.4~~$533.4 million and ~~$361.0~~$478.7 million, asrespectively, and working capital of ~~September 30, 2021~~$75.6 million and ~~December 31, 2020,~~$107.8 million, respectively.

Prior to our IPO in August 2020, ~~our~~ operations ~~had been~~were financed primarily by aggregate net proceeds from the sale of ~~our~~ convertible preferred stock and ~~principal of our converted~~convertible debt ~~of $253.9 million,~~ as well as other indebtedness. On August 10, 2020, we issued 10,147,058 shares of common stock in our IPO, which included 1,323,529 shares of common stock issued upon the exercise in full by the underwriters of an option to purchase additional shares of ~~our~~ common stock, at the public offering price less underwriting discounts and commissions. The price to the public was $18.00 per share, for net proceeds ~~to us~~ of $166.3 million.

In July 2021, we issued 6,325,000 shares of common stock in a public offering, which included 825,000 shares of common stock issued upon the ~~underwriter's~~underwriter’s exercise in full of an option to purchase additional shares of common stock. The price to the public for each share was $14.00. We received gross proceeds of $88.6 million from the offering. Net of underwriting discounts and commission and other offering expenses, we received proceeds of $82.7 million from the offering.

On June 30, 2022, Medtronic paid us $50.0 million at the First Closing of the sale of our left-heart access portfolio to Medtronic, of which $4.0 million was paid into an indemnity escrow account for a period of 18 months following the First Closing to secure our indemnification obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement. The OEM Earnout under the Asset Purchase Agreement with Medtronic was achieved on October 31, 2022. Accordingly, cash consideration of $20.0 million payable to the Company for the satisfaction of the OEM Earnout Conditions is due from Medtronic on or before November 30, 2022.

Management believes our current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. To ensure that we have sufficient resources to fund operations, management continues to review cost

improvement opportunities and pathways to reduce expenses and cash burn, while preserving the resources to invest in future growth.

In the future, we may need to raise additional funds through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities or otherwise. Until such time, if ever, that we can generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, we expect to finance our operations through equity or debt financings, which may not be available to us on the timing needed or on terms that we deem to be favorable. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of common stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we are unable to maintain sufficient financial resources, our business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. We may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product discovery and development activities or future commercialization efforts.

Our future liquidity and capital funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including:

•our revenue growth;

•our research and development efforts;

•our sales and marketing activities;

•our success in leveraging our strategic partnerships, including with Biotronik, as well as entrance into any other strategic partnerships or strategic transactions in the future;

•our success in achieving the milestones required to earn the contingent consideration set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement with Medtronic, and Medtronic’s success in selling Products following achievement of the OEM Earnout;

•our ability to raise additional funds to finance our operations;

•the outcome, costs and timing of any clinical trial results for our current or future products;

•the emergence and effect of competing or complementary products;

•the availability and amount of reimbursement for procedures using our products;

•our ability to maintain, expand and defend the scope of our intellectual property portfolio, including the amount and timing of any payments we may be required to make, or that we may receive, in connection with the licensing, filing, prosecution, defense and enforcement of any patents or other intellectual property rights;

•our ability to retain our current employees and the need and ability to hire additional management and sales, scientific and medical personnel;

~~Table of Contents~~

•the terms and timing of any collaboration, licensing or other arrangements that we have or may establish;

•debt service requirements;

•the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products or technologies; and

•the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, investment in our commercial organization and related expenses, clinical research and development services, laboratory and related supplies, legal and other regulatory expenses, general administrative costs and working capital. In addition, we have acquired, and may in the future seek to acquire or invest in, additional businesses, products or technologies that we believe could complement or expand our portfolio, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities. For example, in June 2019, we acquired Rhythm Xience, a medical device company specializing in the design and manufacture of transseptal crossing and steerable introducer systems, for $3.0 million in cash. The cash payment did not include the potential $17.0 million in earn out consideration to be paid based on the achievement of certain regulatory milestones and revenue milestones. In February 2020, we issued to the former owners of Rhythm Xience 119,993 shares of our Series D convertible preferred stock and paid them $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2020, ~~and~~ an additional ~~$2.5~~$3.4 million in 2021 and $0.9 million in the first ~~quarter~~half of ~~2021~~2022, in connection with the regulatory and revenue milestones earned to date. In addition, pursuant to the Biotronik license agreement, we paid Biotronik a $3.0 million upfront fee at the time the agreement was signed, as well as a technology transfer fee consisting of $7.0 million in cash in December 2019 and $5.0 million in shares of our Series D convertible preferred stock in February 2020. We are required to pay Biotronik and VascoMed GmbH (the “Biotronik Parties”) up to $10.0 million, of which $2.0 million has been paid as of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, upon the achievement of various regulatory and sales-related milestones, as well as unit-based royalties on any sales of ~~force~~Force sensing catheters. We will also incur costs as a public company that we have not previously incurred or have previously incurred at lower rates.

Until such time, if ever, that we can generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, we expect to finance our operations through equity or debt financings, which may not be available to us on the timing needed or on terms that we deem to be favorable. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the salefirst quarter of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of common stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends.

Under Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, we have the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events could raise substantial doubt about our ability to meet our future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Going concern matters are more fully discussed in Note 1, “Organization and Description of Business – Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern” of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material.

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, as filed with the SEC on March ~~19, 2021.~~30, 2022.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

With respect to the quarter ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer ~~have~~has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Management does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we are involved in ~~various~~ legal proceedings, including litigation arising from the normal course of our business activities. We ~~are not presently a party to any litigation the outcome of which, we believe, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together~~ have ~~a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition. We have~~also received, and may from time to time receive, letters from third parties alleging patent infringement, violation of employment practices or trademark infringement, and we may in the future participate in litigation to defend ourselves. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. Other than the matters listed below, we are not currently party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

We and certain of our current and former officers have been named as defendants in two putative securities class action lawsuits filed by stockholders in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California on February 15, 2022 and March 23, 2022. Plaintiffs allege violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaints allege that the defendants made false and misleading statements about our business, prospects and operations. The putative claims are based upon statements made in filings made by us with the SEC, press releases and on earnings calls between May 13, 2021 and November 11, 2021. The lawsuits seek, among other relief, a determination that the alleged claims may be asserted on a class-wide basis, unspecified compensatory damages, attorney’s fees, other expenses and costs. On July 19, 2022, the court consolidated the two actions, appointed a lead plaintiff and appointed lead counsel for the proposed class. On September 16, 2022, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint. We are defending the action.

Due to the complex nature of the legal and factual issues involved in these class action matters, the outcome is not presently determinable. If these matters were to proceed beyond the pleading stage, we could be required to incur substantial costs and expenses to defend these matters and/or be required to pay substantial damages or settlement costs, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, as filed with the SEC on March ~~19, 2021.~~30, 2022. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our result of operations or financial conditions. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Item 2. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

~~None.~~On June 30, 2022, in connection with entering into the 2022 Credit Agreement, we entered into the Warrant Purchase Agreement with the lenders under the 2022 Credit Agreement (the “Lenders”), pursuant to which we issued to the Lenders warrants to purchase up to an aggregate 3,779,018 shares (the “2022 Warrant Shares”) of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at an exercise price of $1.1114 per 2022 Warrant Share for a period of eight years following the issuance thereof, on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the warrants evidencing such rights.

The 2022 Warrants are exercisable on a cash or cashless (net exercise) basis, and are subject to a 4.9% beneficial ownership limitation, as well as certain other customary anti-dilution adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events such as stock splits, subdivisions, reclassifications or combinations of common stock. Upon the consummation of a “Major Transaction” (as defined in the 2022 Warrants), holders of the 2022 Warrants may elect to (i) have their 2022 Warrants redeemed by us for an amount equal to the Black-Scholes value of such warrant, in cash or, if applicable, in the form of the consideration paid to our stockholders in a Major Transaction (i.e. securities or other property of the buyer), or (ii) have such 2022 Warrants be assumed by the successor to us in a Major Transaction, if applicable. Holders of the 2022 Warrants are also entitled to participate in any dividends or distributions to holders of common stock at the time such dividends or distributions are paid to such stockholders.

The 2022 Warrants and 2022 Warrant Shares issuable thereunder have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and were issued in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof. We relied on this exemption from registration based in part on representations made by the Lenders in the 2022 Warrant Purchase Agreement, including representations that each Lender was an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act.

The Warrant Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants made by us and the Lenders. Pursuant to the Warrant Purchase Agreement, we have agreed to indemnify the Lenders for losses arising from certain breaches of the Warrant Purchase Agreement, the 2022 Warrants and the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the Warrant Purchase Agreement.
