GUIDED THERAPEUTICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly SpectRx, Inc.), together with its wholly owned subsidiary, InterScan, Inc. (formerly Guided Therapeutics, Inc.), collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, is a medical technology company focused on developing innovative medical devices that have the potential to improve healthcare. The Company’s primary focus is the continued commercialization of its LuViva non-invasive cervical cancer detection device and extension of its cancer detection technology into other cancers, including esophageal. The Company’s technology, including products in research and development, primarily relates to biophotonics technology for the non-invasive detection of cancers.

Basis of Presentation

~~All information and footnote disclosures included in the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.~~

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The December 31, 2020 balances reported herein are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring ~~accruals and other items)~~adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 have been included.

The Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by entrants into the medical device industry. This industry is characterized by an increasing number of participants, intense competition and a high failure rate. The Company has experienced net losses since its inception and, as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, it had an accumulated deficit of approximately ~~$141.8~~$141.9 million. To date, the Company has engaged primarily in research and development efforts and the early stages of marketing its products. The Company may not be successful in growing sales for its products. Moreover, required regulatory clearances or approvals may not be obtained in a timely manner, or at all. The Company’s products may not ever gain market acceptance and the Company may not ever generate significant revenues or achieve profitability. The development and commercialization of the Company’s products requires substantial development, regulatory, sales and marketing, manufacturing and other expenditures. The Company expects operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future as it continues to expend substantial resources to complete development of its products, obtain regulatory clearances or approvals, build its marketing, sales, manufacturing and finance capabilities, and conduct further research and development.

The Company is not organized by multiple operating segments for the purpose of making operating decisions or assessing performance. Accordingly, the Company operates in one reportable operating segment. The Company’s principal decision makers are the Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer. Management believes that its business operates as one reportable segment because: a) the Company measures profit and loss as a whole; b) the principal decision makers do not review information based on any operating segment; c) the Company does not maintain discrete financial information on any specific segment; d) the Company has not chosen to organize its business around different products and services, and e) the Company has not chosen to organize its business around geographic areas.

Table of Contents

Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming it will continue as a going concern. The factors below raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company had a negative working capital of approximately ~~$4.0~~$3.7 million, accumulated deficit of ~~$141.8~~$141.9 million, and incurred a net loss including preferred dividends of $1.9 million for the ~~six~~nine months then ended. Stockholders’ deficit totaled approximately ~~$5.3~~$5.1 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, primarily due to recurring net losses from operations.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company ~~did raise $2.1~~raised $3.2 million ~~as part~~ of funds from the ~~Series F, Series F-2 and G~~sale of preferred stock ~~capital raise~~ and ~~$1.1 million for~~ 10% convertible debentures. The Company will need to continue to raise capital in order to provide funding for its operations and FDA approval process. If sufficient capital cannot be raised, ~~during 2021,~~ the Company will continue its plans of curtailing operations by reducing discretionary spending and staffing levels and attempting to operate by only pursuing activities for which it has external financial support. However, there can be no assurance that such external financial support will be sufficient to maintain even limited operations or that the Company will be able to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all. In such a case, the Company might be required to enter into unfavorable agreements or, if that is not possible, be unable to continue operations, and to the extent practicable, liquidate and/or file for bankruptcy protection.

The Company had warrants exercisable for approximately 30.1 million shares of its common stock outstanding at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, with exercise prices ranging between $0.15 and $0.80 per share. Exercises of ~~in the money~~in-the-money warrants would generate a total of approximately $5.7 million in cash, assuming full exercise, although the Company cannot be assured that holders will exercise any warrants. Management may obtain additional funds through the public or private sale of debt or equity, and grants, if available.

~~Table of Contents~~

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas where estimates are used include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation and input variables for Black-Scholes, Monte Carlo simulations and binomial calculations. The Company uses the Monte Carlo simulations and binomial calculations in the calculation of the fair value of the warrant liabilities and the valuation of embedded conversion options and freestanding warrants.

~~Principles of Consolidation~~

~~The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Guided Therapeutics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions are eliminated.~~

Accounting Standard Updates

~~In December 2019, the~~ FASB ~~issued~~ ASU ~~2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)”.~~2021-04, “Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options” – Issued in May 2021, ASU No. 2021-04 provides guidance to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in this ASU ~~simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and by clarifying and amending other areas of Topic 740. The amendments in this ASU~~No. 2021-04 are effective for ~~annual and interim periods~~all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, ~~2020.~~2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We ~~adopted~~have elected to early adopt ASU 2021-04 in the third quarter of 2021. Adoption of this ~~ASU on January 1, 2021 with~~standard had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

~~In August 2020, the~~

FASB ~~issued~~ ASU ~~No.~~NO. 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own ~~Equity (ASU 2020-06), which~~Equity” – Issued in August 2020, ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Among other changes, ASU 2020-06 removes from U.S. GAAP the liability and equity separation model for convertible instruments with a cash conversion feature, and as a result, after adoption, entities will no longer separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature for such debt. Similarly, the embedded conversion feature will no longer be amortized into income as interest expense over the life of the instrument. Instead, entities will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt unless (1) a convertible instrument contains features that require bifurcation as a derivative under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or (2) a convertible debt instrument was issued at a substantial premium. Among other potential impacts, this change is expected to reduce reported interest expense, increase reported net income, and result in ~~a reclassification~~are classification of certain conversion feature balance sheet amounts from stockholders’ equity to liabilities as it relates to the Company’s convertible senior notes. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share (EPS), which is consistent with the Company’s accounting treatment under the current standard. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and can be adopted on either a fully retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The Company has early adopted ASU No. 2020-06 under a modified retrospective basis on January 1, 2021. ~~The result of the early adoption would have been a change to retained earnings of $102,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020.~~Adoption had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

~~Except as noted above,~~FASB ASU NO. 2019-12, “Simplifying the ~~guidance issued~~Accounting for Income Taxes” – Issued in December 2019, the amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the ~~FASB during the current year is not expected to have a~~general principles in Topic 740 and by clarifying and amending other areas of Topic 740. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2021. Adoption had no material ~~effect~~impact on ~~the Company’s~~our consolidated financial statements.

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under consideration by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, management has not yet determined the effect, if any that the implementation of such proposed standards would have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be a cash equivalent.

Accounts Receivable

The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its distributors’ financial conditions and generally does not require collateral. The Company reviews all outstanding accounts receivable for collectability on a quarterly basis. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for any amounts deemed uncollectable. Uncollectibility is determined based on the determination that a distributor will not be able to make payment and the time frame has exceeded one year. The Company does not accrue interest receivables on past due accounts receivable.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company, from time to time during the years covered by these consolidated financial statements, may have bank balances in excess of its insured limits. Management has deemed this a normal business risk.

~~Table of Contents~~

Inventory Valuation

All inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined substantially on a “first-in, first-out” basis. Selling, general, and administrative expenses are not inventoried, but are charged to expense when incurred. ~~At June~~As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our inventories were as ~~follows (in thousands):~~follows:

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized at the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term. Depreciation and amortization expense are included in general and administrative expense on the statement of operations. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment are summarized as follows at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, ~~2020 (in thousands):~~2020:

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020, the Company disposed of approximately nil and $647,000 of property and equipment that was fully depreciated, respectively. Depreciation expense related to property and equipment for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was not material.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the associated debt. Debt issuance costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability consistent with the debt discount.

Patent Costs (Principally Legal Fees)

Costs incurred in filing, prosecuting, and maintaining patents are recurring, and expensed as incurred. Maintaining patents are expensed as incurred as the Company has not yet received U.S. FDA approval and recovery of these costs is uncertain. Such costs aggregated to approximately ~~$10,000~~$14,800 and ~~$4,000~~$17,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

~~Leases~~

With the implementation of ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, the Company recorded a lease-right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019. The implementation required the analysis of certain criteria in determining its treatment. The Company determined that its corporate office lease met those criteria. The Company implemented the guidance using the alternative transition method. Under this alternative, the effective date would be the date of initial application. See ~~Note 7: Commitments and Contingencies~~.

Table of Contents

Leases

A lease provides the lessee the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

Where an operating lease contains extension options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, the extension period is included in the calculation of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

The discount rate used to determine the commencement date present value of lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease, or when that is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its secured borrowing rate. Right-of-use assets include any lease payments required to be made prior to commencement and exclude lease incentives. Both right-of-use assets and lease liabilities exclude variable payments not based on an index or rate, which are treated as period costs. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain significant residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants. See Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies.

Accrued Liabilities

Accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are summarized as ~~follows (in thousands):~~follows:

Subscription receivables

Cash received from investors for common stock shares that has not completed processing is recorded as a liability to subscription receivables. ~~As of June 30, 2021, the Company had received $350,000 from Mr. Blumberg.~~

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition

~~The Company follows,~~ ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, establishes a single and comprehensive framework which sets out how much revenue is to be recognized, and when. The core principle is that a vendor should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the vendor expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue will now be recognized by a vendor when control over the goods or services is transferred to the customer. In contrast, ~~revenue based~~revenue-based revenue recognition around an analysis of the transfer of risks and rewards; this now forms one of a number of criteria that are assessed in determining whether control has been transferred. The application of the core principle in ASC 606 is carried out in five steps: Step 1 – Identify the contract with a customer: a contract is defined as an agreement (including oral and implied), between two or more parties, that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for each of those rights and obligations. The contract needs to have commercial substance and it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled. Step 2 – Identify the performance obligations in the contract: a performance obligation in a contract is a promise (including implicit) to transfer a good or service to the customer. Each performance obligation should be capable of being distinct and is separately identifiable in the contract. Step 3 – Determine the transaction price: transaction price is the amount of consideration that the entity can be entitled to, in exchange for transferring the promised goods and services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Step 4 – Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: for a contract that has more than one performance obligation, the entity will allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation separately, in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. The acceptable methods of allocating the transaction price include adjusted market assessment approach, expected cost plus a margin approach, and, the residual approach in limited circumstances. Discounts given should be allocated proportionately to all performance obligations unless certain criteria are met and reallocation of changes in standalone selling prices after inception is not permitted.

	·	Step 1 – Identify the contract with a customer: a contract is defined as an agreement (including oral and implied), between two or more parties, that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for each of those rights and obligations. The contract needs to have commercial substance and it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled.

	·	Step 2 – Identify the performance obligations in the contract: a performance obligation in a contract is a promise (including implicit) to transfer a good or service to the customer. Each performance obligation should be capable of being distinct and is separately identifiable in the contract.

	·	Step 3 – Determine the transaction price: transaction price is the amount of consideration that the entity can be entitled to, in exchange for transferring the promised goods and services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

	·	Step 4 – Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: for a contract that has more than one performance obligation, the entity will allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation separately, in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. The acceptable methods of allocating the transaction price include adjusted market assessment approach, expected cost plus a margin approach, and the residual approach in limited circumstances. Discounts given should be allocated proportionately to all performance obligations unless certain criteria are met and reallocation of changes in standalone selling prices after inception is not permitted.

	·	Step 5 – Recognize revenue as and when the entity satisfies a performance obligation: the entity should recognize revenue at a point in time, except if it meets any of the three criteria, which will require recognition of revenue over time: the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the entity’s performance as the entity performs, and the entity does not create an asset that has an alternative use to the entity and the entity has the right to be paid for performance to date.

The Company did not recognize material revenues during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 or 2020. The Company’s revenues do not require significant estimates or judgments. The Company is not party to contracts that include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration.

Warrants

The Company has issued warrants, which allow the warrant holder to purchase one share of stock at a specified price for a specified period of time. The Company records equity instruments including warrants based on the fair value at the date of issue. The fair value of warrants classified as equity instruments at the date of issuance is estimated using the Black-Scholes Model. The fair value of warrants classified as liabilities at the date of issuance is estimated using the Monte Carlo Simulation or Binomial model.

Beneficial Conversion Features of Convertible Securities

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-11 to account for the down round features of warrants issued with private placements effective as of January 1, 2020. In doing so, warrants with a down round feature previously treated as a derivative liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measured at fair value are henceforth treated as equity, with no adjustment for changes in fair value at each reporting period. Previously, the Company accounted for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with ASC 815. ASC 815 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as ~~free standing~~free-standing derivative financial instruments. ASC 815 provides for an exception to this rule when convertible notes, as host instruments, are deemed to be conventional, as defined by ASC 815-40. The Company accounts for convertible notes deemed conventional and conversion options embedded in non-conventional convertible notes which qualify as equity under ASC 815, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-20, which provides guidance on accounting for convertible securities with beneficial conversion features. Accordingly, the Company records, as a discount to convertible notes, the intrinsic value of such conversion options based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt.

Conversion options that are not bifurcated as a derivative pursuant to ASC 815 and not accounted for as a separate equity component under the cash conversion guidance are evaluated to determine whether they are beneficial to the investor at inception (a beneficial conversion feature) or may become beneficial in the future due to potential adjustments. The beneficial conversion feature guidance in ASC 470-20 applies to convertible stock as well as convertible debt which are outside the scope of ASC 815. A beneficial conversion feature is defined as a nondetachable conversion feature that is in the money at the commitment date. The beneficial conversion feature guidance requires recognition of the conversion option’s in-the-money portion, the intrinsic value of the option, in equity, with an offsetting reduction to the carrying amount of the instrument. The resulting discount is amortized as a dividend over either the life of the instrument, if a stated maturity date exists, or to the earliest conversion date, if there is no stated maturity date. If the earliest conversion date is immediately upon issuance, the dividend must be recognized at inception. When there is a subsequent change to the conversion ratio based on a future occurrence, the new conversion price may trigger the recognition of an additional beneficial conversion feature on occurrence.

The Company also adopted ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Among other changes, ASU 2020-06 removes from U.S. GAAP the liability and equity separation model for convertible instruments with a cash conversion feature, and as a result, after adoption, entities will no longer separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature for such debt.

Derivatives

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt issued to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense.

3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The guidance for fair value measurements, ASC820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes the authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and outlines the required disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs as follow:

	·	Level 1–Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
	·	Level 2–Inputs, other than level 1 inputs, either directly or indirectly observable; and
	·	Level 3–Unobservable inputs developed using internal estimates and assumptions (there is little or no market date) which reflect those that market participants would use.

The Company records its derivative activities at fair value. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 we had one instrument that we valued for the derivative liability associated with the bifurcated conversion option of the Auctus loan for $400,000 ($700,000 of the $1,100,000 was paid in during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021). ~~Warrants were valued at December 31, 2020.

Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a $.001 par value. The board of directors has the authority to issue these shares and to set dividends, voting and conversion rights, redemption provisions, liquidation preferences, and other rights and restrictions.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

The board designated 9,000 shares of preferred stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). Pursuant to the Series C certificate of designations, shares of Series C preferred stock are convertible into common stock by their holder at any time and may be mandatorily convertible upon the achievement of specified average trading prices for the Company’s common stock. At ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were 286 shares outstanding with a conversion price of $0.50 per share, such that each share of Series C preferred stock would convert into approximately 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; for a total convertible of 572,000 common stock shares, subject to customary adjustments, including for any accrued but unpaid dividends and pursuant to certain anti-dilution provisions, as set forth in the Series C certificate of designations. The conversion price will automatically adjust downward to 80% of the then-current market price of the Company’s common stock 15 trading days after any reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, and 5 trading days after any conversions of the Company’s outstanding convertible debt.

Holders of the Series C preferred stock are entitled to quarterly cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 12.0% until 42 months after the original issuance date (the “Dividend End Date”), payable in cash or, subject to certain conditions, the Company’s common stock. ~~In addition, upon~~Unpaid accrued dividends were $120,120 as of September 30, 2021. Upon conversion of the Series C preferred stock prior to the Dividend End Date, the Company will also pay to the converting holder a “make-whole payment” equal to the number of unpaid dividends through the Dividend End Date on the converted shares. At ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the “make-whole payment” for a converted share of Series C preferred stock would convert to 200 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Series C preferred stock generally has no voting rights except as required by Delaware law. Upon the Company’s liquidation or sale to or merger with another corporation, each share will be entitled to a liquidation preference of $1,000, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. In addition, the purchasers of the Series C preferred stock received, on a pro rata basis, warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of approximately 1 share of Company’s common stock. The warrants contain anti-dilution adjustments in the event that the Company issues shares of common stock, or securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock, at prices below the exercise price of such warrants. As a result of the anti-dilution protection, the Company is required to account for the warrants as a liability recorded at fair value each reporting period. ~~At June~~As of September 30, 2021, ~~and December 31, 2020, the exercise price per share was $512,000.~~these warrants had expired.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, shares of Series C2 had a conversion price of $0.50 per share, such that each share of Series C preferred stock would convert into approximately 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Between April 27, 2016 and May 3, 2016, the Company entered into various agreements with certain holders of Series C preferred stock, including directors John Imhoff and Mark Faupel, pursuant to which those holders separately agreed to exchange each share of Series C preferred stock held for 2.25 shares of the Company’s newly created Series C1 Preferred Stock and 12 (9,600 pre-split) shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Series C Exchanges”). In connection with the Series C Exchanges, each holder also agreed to roll over the $1,000 stated value per share of the holder’s shares of Series C1 Preferred Stock into the next qualifying financing undertaken by the Company on a dollar-for-dollar basis and, except in the event of an additional $50,000 cash investment in the Company by the holder, to execute a customary “lockup” agreement in connection with the financing. In total, for 1,916 shares of Series C preferred stock surrendered, the Company issued 4,312 shares of Series C1 Preferred Stock and 29 shares of common stock.

The Series C1 preferred stock has terms that are substantially the same as the Series C preferred stock, except that the Series C1 preferred stock does not pay dividends (unless and to the extent declared on the common stock) or at-the-market “make-whole payments” and, while it has the same anti-dilution protections afforded the Series C preferred stock, it does not automatically reset in connection with a reverse stock split or conversion of our outstanding convertible debt.

Footnote (1) - On January 16, 2020, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with GPB. This exchange agreement canceled the existing outstanding warrants, which were subject to anti-dilution and ratchet provisions, to purchase 35,937,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.04 per share and resulted in the issuance of new warrants to purchase 7,185,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.20 per share. The new warrants have fixed exercise prices of $0.20. On January 8, 2021, the Company met the requirement by making the final payment of $750,000 as required by the exchange agreement with GPB, which canceled the previously issued warrants.

5. STOCK OPTIONS

~~On July 14, 2020, the Company granted 1,800,000 stock options to employees and consultants.~~ The new Stock Plan (the “Plan”) allows for the issuance of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, and stock purchase rights. The exercise price of options was determined by the Company’s board of directors, but incentive stock options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date. Options historically granted have generally become exercisable over four years and expire ten years from the date of grant. The plan provides for stock options to be granted up to 10% of the outstanding common stock shares.

6. LITIGATION AND CLAIMS

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the dispositions of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. However, depending on the amount and timing of such disposition, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of these matters could materially affect the future results of operations or cash flows in a particular year.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, there was no accrual recorded for any potential losses related to pending litigation.

Related Party Contracts

On June 5, 2016, the Company entered into a license agreement with Shenghuo Medical, LLC pursuant to which the Company granted Shenghuo an exclusive license to manufacture, sell and distribute LuViva in Taiwan, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Shenghuo was already the Company’s exclusive distributor in China, Macau and Hong Kong, and the license extended to manufacturing in those countries as well. Under the terms of the license agreement, once Shenghuo was capable of manufacturing LuViva in accordance with ISO 13485 for medical devices, Shenghuo would pay the Company a royalty equal to $2.00 or 20% of the distributor price (subject to a discount under certain circumstances), whichever is higher, per disposable distributed within Shenghuo’s exclusive territories. In connection with the license grant, Shenghuo was to underwrite the cost of securing approval of LuViva with Chinese Food and Drug Administration. At its option, Shenghuo also would provide up to $1.0 million in furtherance of the Company’s efforts to secure regulatory approval for LuViva from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, in exchange for the right to receive payments equal to 2% of the Company’s future sales in the United States, up to an aggregate of $4.0 million. Pursuant to the license agreement, Shenghuo had the option to have a designee appointed to the Company’s board of directors (current director Richard Blumberg is the designee).

On September 6, 2016, the Company entered into a royalty agreement with one of its directors, John Imhoff, and another stockholder, Dolores Maloof, pursuant to which the Company sold to them a royalty of future sales of single-use cervical guides for LuViva. Under the terms of the royalty agreement, and for consideration of $50,000, the Company will pay them an aggregate perpetual royalty initially equal to $0.10, and from and after October 2, 2016, equal to $0.20, for each disposable that the Company sells (or that is sold by a third party pursuant to a licensing arrangement with the Company).

On January 22, 2020, the Company entered into a promotional agreement with a related party, which is partially owned by Mr. Blumberg, to provide investor and public relations services for a period of two years. As compensation for these services, the Company will issue a total of 5,000,000 warrants, broken into four tranches of 1,250,000. The warrants have a strike price of $0.25 and are subject to vesting based upon the close of the Series D offering and a minimum share price based on the 30-day VWAP. If the minimum share price per the terms of the agreement is not achieved, the warrants will expire three years after the issuance date. The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes model on the grant date of January 22, 2020, which resulted in a total fair value of $715,000. The Company did not appropriately expense the services received in connection with this agreement in 2020. ~~The~~During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company ~~booked~~recognized $556,111 of consulting expenses as a result of ~~$397,222 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021,~~this agreement, which includes twelve months of expense for the year ended December 31, 2020. If the Company had properly accounted for the straight-line expensing of these services in 2020, net loss would have increased by $318,000 for a total net loss of $719,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and accumulated deficit would have increased to $140.2 million as of December 31, 2020. Unrecognized consulting expense to be recognized under this agreement is ~~$238,534~~$158,889 as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

On March 10, 2021, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Richard Blumberg. As a result of the consulting agreement Mr. Blumberg provided $350,000, which was recorded to subscription receivable, to the Company in exchange for the following: (1) on September 26, 2021, 900,000 3-year warrants with an exercise price of $0.30 and 400,000 common stock shares; (2) on March 26, 2022, 900,000 3-year warrants with an exercise price of $0.40 and 400,000 common stock shares; (3) on September 26, 2022, 900,000 3-year warrants with an exercise price of $0.50 and 400,000 common stock shares; and (4) on March 26, 2023, 900,000 3-year warrants with an exercise price of $0.60 and 400,000 common stock shares.

On September 30, 2021, the consulting agreement was amended to clarify that $350,000 is not intended to be debt and will not be required to be repaid in cash. Additionally, issuance of the warrants is now predicated on the Company receiving funding receipts of $1,000,000, whether from a financing, series of financing, or gross sales. The amended agreement clarified that the warrants issued to Mr. Blumberg are compensation for services, which involve obtaining financing. The Company will recognize expense for the services equal to the fair value of the warrants issued to Mr. Blumberg as the services are provided, which will coincide with the successful execution of a financing agreement over $1,000,000. The Company concluded that as of September 30, 2021, there is no longer a liability due to Mr. Blumberg of $350,000. The liability was written off in the third quarter of 2021 and a gain of $350,000 was recognized in non-operating income.

The note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly allowed. Any amount of principal or interest on the note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of the lessor of 24% or the maximum permitted by law (the “default interest”).

10% Senior Unsecured Convertible Debenture

On May 17, 2021, the Company issued 10% Senior Unsecured convertible debentures to investors, which mature on May 17, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). The Company subscribed $1,130,000 of the $1,000 convertible debentures. The terms of the debentures are as follows: 1) the principal amount of some or all of the convertible debentures and accrued interest are convertible into common stock shares at the holder’s option, at a price of $0.50 per common stock share (the “conversion price”), subject to adjustment in certain events, at any time prior to maturity date; 2) upon successful uplist to a U.S. National Exchange, the note will automatically convert into the uplisting financing; 3) each debenture unit will have a right to 1,000 warrants for common stock shares, warrants have an exercise price of $0.80 and an expiration date of May 17, 2023; 4) if a Change of Control (as defined in the Convertible Debenture Certificate) occurs prior to the Maturity Date, unless the holder elects in writing to convert the Convertible Debentures into common shares, the Company will repay in cash upon the closing of such Change of Control all outstanding principal and accrued interest under each Convertible Debenture plus a Change of Control premium equal to an additional 3% of the outstanding principal sum under such Convertible Debenture. Prior to the closing of an Change of Control, in lieu of repayment as set forth in the preceding sentence, the holder has the right to elect in writing to convert, effective immediately prior to the effective date of such Change of Control, all outstanding principal and accrued Interest under the Convertible Debentures into common shares at the Conversion Price; 5) Subject to a holder’s option of electing conversion prior to the Redemption Date (as such term is defined below), on or after the date that is 24 months from the Closing Date if the daily volume weighted average trading price of the common shares is $1.50 per common share or more for each trading day over a 30 consecutive trading day period, the Company may, at any time ~~and from time to time thereafter~~ (the “Redemption Date”), at its option, redeem all, or any portion of the Convertible Debentures for either: (i) a cash payment (in the form of a certified cheque or bank draft) that is equal to all outstanding principal and accrued interest under each Convertible Debenture up to the Redemption Date; or (ii) by issuing and delivering common shares to the holders of Convertible Debentures at a deemed price of US$0.50 per common share that is equal to all outstanding principal and accrued interest under each Convertible Debenture up to the Redemption Date, or any combination of (i) or (ii), upon not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior written notice in the manner provided in the Debenture Certificate, to the holder of Convertible Debentures.

~~Troubled Debt Restructuring~~

The debt extinguished for Dr. Cartwright, Mr. Fowler and Dr. Faupel meet the criteria for troubled debt. The basic criteria are that the borrower is troubled, i.e., they are having financial difficulties, and a concession is granted by the creditor. Due to the Company being in default on several of its loans the debt is considered troubled debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a gain of $86,554 for Mr. Fowler’s debt exchange.$787,267.

12. INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders, amounts are computed by dividing the net income (loss) plus preferred stock dividends and deemed dividends on preferred stock by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders amounts are computed by dividing the net income (loss) plus preferred stock dividends, deemed dividends on preferred stock, after-tax interest on convertible debt and convertible dividends by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, plus Series C, Series D, Series E, Series F and Series F-2 convertible preferred stock, Series G preferred stock, convertible debt, convertible preferred dividends and warrants convertible into common stock shares.

Troubled Debt Restructuring

As provided in the preceding footnotes, several transactions met the basic criteria for troubled debt, which are that the borrower is troubled, i.e., they are having financial difficulties, and a concession is granted by the creditor. Due to the Company being past due or in default on several of its loans, the debt is considered troubled debt. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the total troubled debt restructuring was $179,000, since this amount has already been recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt the loss would not have any impact on the per share calculation. As of June 30, 2020, the troubled debt restructuring ~~for Convertible Debt, based on the reduction~~ in ~~warrants outstanding~~total would have ~~an effect on~~decreased the ~~Company’s diluted earnings~~net loss by $85,000 and causing the per share calculation ~~for June 30, 2020, but not on the basic earnings~~to change from .14 to .15 net loss per ~~share calculation.

Words such as “might,” ~~“anticipation”~~“will,” “may,” “should,” “estimates,” “expects,” “continues,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “intends,” “believes,” “forecasts,” “future,” and variations of such words or ~~“expectation,” as well as other~~similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements ~~which~~ are not historical facts, and are based upon our current expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections, and various assumptions, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Our expectations, beliefs, estimates, and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates, and projections will occur or can be can achieved and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or anticipated results, including those that may be set forth under “Risk Factors” below and elsewhere in this report, as well as in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Examples of these uncertainties and risks include, but are not limited to:

	·	access to sufficient debt or equity capital to meet our operating and financial needs;
	·	the extent of dilution of the holdings of our existing stockholders upon the issuance, conversion or exercise of securities issued as part of our capital raising efforts;
	·	the extent to which certain debt holders may call the notes to be paid;
	·	the effectiveness and ultimate market acceptance of our products and our ability to generate sufficient sales revenues to sustain our growth and strategy plans;
	·	whether our products in development will prove safe, feasible and effective;
	·	whether and when we or any potential strategic partners will obtain required regulatory approvals in the markets in which we plan to operate;

OVERVIEW

We are a medical technology company focused on developing innovative medical devices that have the potential to improve healthcare. Our primary focus is the sales and marketing of our LuViva® Advanced Cervical Scan non-invasive cervical cancer detection device. The underlying technology of LuViva primarily relates to the use of biophotonics for the non-invasive detection of cancers. LuViva is designed to identify cervical cancers and precancers painlessly, non-invasively and at the point of care by scanning the cervix with light, then analyzing the reflected and fluorescent light.

LuViva provides a less invasive and painless alternative to conventional tests for cervical cancer screening and detection. Additionally, LuViva improves patient well-being not only because it eliminates pain, but also because it is convenient to use and provides rapid results at the point of care. We focus on two primary applications for LuViva: first, as a cancer screening tool in the developing world, where infrastructure to support traditional cancer-screening methods is limited or non-existent, and second, as a triage following traditional screening in the developed world, where a high number of false positive results cause a high rate of unnecessary and ultimately costly follow-up tests.

We are a Delaware corporation, originally incorporated in 1992 under the name “SpectRx, Inc.,” and, on February 22, 2008, changed our name to Guided Therapeutics, Inc. At the same time, we renamed our wholly owned subsidiary, InterScan, which originally had been incorporated as “Guided Therapeutics.”

Since our inception, we have raised capital through the public and private sale of debt and equity, funding from collaborative arrangements, and grants.

~~Table of Contents~~

Our prospects must be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by entrants into the medical device industry. This industry is characterized by an increasing number of participants, intense competition and a high failure rate. We have experienced operating losses since our inception and, as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 we have an accumulated deficit of approximately ~~$141.8~~$141.9 million. To date, we have engaged primarily in research and development efforts and the early stages of marketing our products. We do not have significant experience in manufacturing, marketing or selling our products. We may not be successful in growing sales for our products. Moreover, required regulatory clearances or approvals may not be obtained in a timely manner, or at all. Our products may not ever gain market acceptance and we may not ever generate significant revenues or achieve profitability. The development and commercialization of our products requires substantial development, regulatory, sales and marketing, manufacturing and other expenditures. We expect our operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to expend substantial resources to complete commercialization of our products, obtain regulatory clearances or approvals, build our marketing, sales, manufacturing and finance capabilities, and conduct further research and development.

Our product revenues to date have been limited. In 2020, the majority of our revenues were from the sale of components of our LuViva devices and disposables. We expect that the majority of our revenue in 2021 will be derived from revenue from the sale of LuViva devices and disposables.

Current Demand for LuViva

Based on discussions with our distributors, we currently hold and expect to generate additional purchase orders for approximately $0.5 to $1.0 million in LuViva devices and disposables in 2021 and expect those purchase orders to result in actual sales of $0.2 to $0.5 million in 2021, representing what we view as current demand for our products. We cannot be assured that we will generate all or any of these additional purchase orders, or that existing orders will not be canceled by the distributors or that parts to build product will be available to meet demand, such that existing orders will result in actual sales. Because we have a short history of sales of our products, we cannot confidently predict future sales of our products beyond this time frame and cannot be assured of any particular amount of sales. Accordingly, we have not identified any particular trends with regard to sales of our products. In order to increase demand for LuViva, the Company in 2021 is focused on three primary markets: the United States, China and Europe.

In addition, as of November 10, 2021, the Company had filed its initial application for listing on the Nasdaq stock exchange, been assigned a reviewer for its application and received an official review letter from Nasdaq which the Company expects to respond to within the next several days. The goal is to uplist to Nasdaq by the end of this year, although there can be no assurance that this will happen.

In the United States, the Company is actively pursuing FDA approval by initiating a clinical trial protocol involving approximately 400 study participants. The protocol was drafted with input from FDA and two prestigious clinical centers that will participate in enrolling the 400 women at multiple sites within their hospital systems. As of November 10, 2021, clinical trial agreements have been drafted and agreed upon, the budget at one institution has been agreed upon and is under negotiation at the other institution. The LuViva devices have been prepared and have passed bench testing in order to begin the study. All requested materials have been submitted for review by the respective hospital institutional review boards (IRBs). Once the IRB’s have approved the study, enrollment may begin, which is expected prior to the end of this year and last approximately eight to nine months; however, there can be no assurance that the study will begin in 2021 or that it will be completed by the end of 2022.

In China, the study protocol and budgets have been agreed upon at two clinical centers and the study has begun at one center, with two more to be added this year. This study will enroll approximately 320 women and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2022, although there can be no assurance that the study will be completed within this time frame.

In Europe, the Company attended a meeting in Bucharest, Romania on November 3-4, 2021, hosted by our central Eastern and Russian distribution partner. The LuViva system was demonstrated for doctors at a local clinic and the head Ob-Gyn physician intends to keep the LuViva device and order additional Cervical Guides to test patients as part of her practice.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our material accounting policies, which we believe are the most critical to investors understanding of our financial results and condition, are discussed below. Because we are still early in our enterprise development, the number of these policies requiring explanation is limited. When we begin to generate revenue from different sources, we expect that the number of applicable policies and complexity of the judgments required will increase.

Revenue Recognition: ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers establishes a single and comprehensive framework which sets out how much revenue is to be recognized, and when. The core principle is that a vendor should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the vendor expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue will now be recognized by a vendor when control over the goods or services is transferred to the customer. In contrast, Revenue based revenue recognition around an analysis of the transfer of risks and rewards; this now forms one of a number of criteria that are assessed in determining whether control has been transferred. The application of the core principle in ASC 606 is carried out in five steps:

Step 1 – Identify the contract with a customer: a contract is defined as an agreement (including oral and implied), between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for each of those rights and obligations. The contract needs to have commercial substance and it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled.

Step 2 – Identify the performance obligations in the contract: a performance obligation in a contract is a promise (including implicit) to transfer a good or service to the customer. Each performance obligation should be capable of being distinct and is separately identifiable in the contract.

Step 3 – Determine the transaction price: transaction price is the amount of consideration that the entity can be entitled to, in exchange for transferring the promised goods and services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Step 4 – Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: for a contract that has more than one performance obligation, the entity will allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation separately, in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. The acceptable methods of allocating the transaction price include adjusted market assessment approach, expected cost plus a margin approach, and the residual approach in limited circumstances. Discounts given should be allocated proportionately to all performance obligations unless certain criteria are met and reallocation of changes in standalone selling prices after inception is not permitted.

Table of Contents

Step 5 – Recognize revenue as and when the entity satisfies a performance obligation: the entity should recognize revenue at a point in time, except if it meets any of the three criteria, which will require recognition of revenue over time: the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the entity’s performance as the entity performs, and the entity does not create an asset that has an alternative use to the entity and the entity has the right to be paid for performance to date.

Valuation of Deferred Taxes: We account for income taxes in accordance with the liability method. Under the liability method, we recognize deferred assets and liabilities based upon anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We establish a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be utilized against future taxable income.

~~Table of Contents~~

Valuation of Equity Instruments Granted to Employee, Service Providers and Investors: On the date of issuance, the instruments are recorded at their fair value as determined using either the Black-Scholes valuation model or Monte Carlo Simulation model.

Beneficial Conversion Features of Convertible Securities: Conversion options that are not bifurcated as a derivative pursuant to ASC 815 and not accounted for as a separate equity component under the cash conversion guidance are evaluated to determine whether they are beneficial to the investor at inception (a beneficial conversion feature) or may become beneficial in the future due to potential adjustments. The beneficial conversion feature guidance in ASC 470-20 applies to convertible stock as well as convertible debt which are outside the scope of ASC 815. A beneficial conversion feature is defined as a nondetachable conversion feature that is in the money at the commitment date. The beneficial conversion feature guidance requires recognition of the conversion option’s in-the-money portion, the intrinsic value of the option, in equity, with an offsetting reduction to the carrying amount of the instrument. The resulting discount is amortized as a dividend over either the life of the instrument, if a stated maturity date exists, or to the earliest conversion date, if there is no stated maturity date. If the earliest conversion date is immediately upon issuance, the dividend must be recognized at inception. When there is a subsequent change to the conversion ratio based on a future occurrence, the new conversion price may trigger the recognition of an additional beneficial conversion feature on occurrence.

Allowance for Accounts Receivable: We estimate losses from the inability of our distributors to make required payments and periodically review the payment history of each of our distributors, as well as their financial condition, and revise our reserves as a result.

Inventory Valuation: All inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined substantially on a “first-in, first-out” basis. Selling, general, and administrative expenses are not inventoried, but are charged to expense when purchased.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED ~~JUNE~~SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020

Sales Revenue, Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit from Devices and Disposables: Revenues from the sale of LuViva devices for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $19,000, compared to $77,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $58,000 or 75%. The decline in revenue was due to fewer sales of LuViva devices and components in the three months ended September 30, 2021 versus the same period in 2020. Cost of goods was $42,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $12,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2020 an increase of $30,000 or 250%. Cost of goods sold increased during the three months ended September 30, 2021 due to inventory write-offs of slow-moving inventory. This resulted in a gross loss of $23,000 on the sales of devices and disposables for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared with a gross profit of $65,000 for the same period in 2020.

Table of Contents

Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were $16,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $41,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $25,000 or 61%. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in research and development clinical costs and payroll-related expenses.

Sales and Marketing Expenses: Sales and marketing expenses were $41,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $36,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $5,000 or 14%. The increase was primarily due to higher travel and payroll-related expenses.

General and Administrative Expense: General and administrative expenses were $407,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $141,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $266,000 or 189%. The increase was primarily due to a reversal of a $292,000 reserve recorded for a deposit made for inventory parts for the Company’s devices during 2020, which decreased general and administrative expenses in the prior period.

Other Income: Other income during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $387,000, compared to zero during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the write-off of a $350,000 subscription receivable liability in the third quarter of 2021.

Interest Expense: Interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $594,000, compared to $317,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $277,000, or 87%. The increase was mainly due to a $350,000 reclassification of expenses that were previously classified as extinguishment of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was offset by lower interest recognized for outstanding notes payable and convertible debt during the three months ended September 30, 2021 versus the same period in the prior year.

Gain from extinguishment of debt: Gain from extinguishment of debt during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $763,000, compared to a gain from extinguishment of debt of $20,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $743,000. The increase was primarily due to (i) reclassification of $350,000 of expenses previously classified as extinguishment of debt in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and (ii) the write-off of a $412,000 note payable that the Company can no longer be required to repay.

The decrease was primarily due to (i) a change in the terms of the warrants during 2021, which resulted in reclassification of the warrant instruments from liabilities to equity and (ii) expiration of the warrants previously outstanding.

Net Income: Net loss attributable to common stockholders was ($51,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net income of $1,529,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The reasons for the fluctuation are outlined above.

On May 22, 2020, we entered into an exchange agreement with Auctus. Based on this agreement we exchanged three outstanding notes, ~~in the amounts of $150,000, $89,250, and $65,000 for~~with a total principal amount ~~$304,250~~ of ~~debt~~$249,119 outstanding, as well as any accrued interest and default penalty, ~~for:~~for $160,000 in cash payments (payable in monthly payments of $20,000), converted a portion of the notes pursuant to original terms of the notes into 500,000 restricted common stock shares (shares were issued on June 3, 2020); and 700,000 warrants issued to purchase common stock shares with an exercise price of $0.15. The fair value of the common stock shares was $250,000 (based on a $0.50 fair value for our stock) and of the warrants to purchase common stock shares was $196,818 (based on a $0.281 ~~black scholes~~Black-Scholes fair valuation). This resulted in a net loss on extinguishment of debt of $118,396 ($446,818 fair value less the $328,422 of exchanged debt). AsThe note is no longer outstanding as of ~~June~~September 30, ~~2021, the note had been paid off.~~2021.

On May 27, 2020, we received the second tranche in the amount of $400,000, from the December 17, 2019, securities purchase agreement and convertible note with Auctus. The net amount paid to us was ~~$313,000~~$313,000. This second tranche is part of the convertible note issued to Auctus for a total of $2.4 million of which $700,000 has already been provided by Auctus. The notes maturity date is December 17, 2021 and an interest rate of ten percent (10%).

Contingencies

Based on the current outbreak of the Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the pathogen responsible for COVID-19, which has already had an impact on financial markets, there could be additional repercussions in our operating business, including but not limited to, the sourcing of materials for product candidates, manufacture of supplies for preclinical and/or clinical studies, delays in clinical operations, which may include the availability or the continued availability of patients for trials due to such things as quarantines, conduct of patient monitoring and clinical trial data retrieval at investigational study sites.

The future impact of the outbreak is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, and we cannot provide any assurance that the outbreak will not have a material adverse impact on our operations or future results or filings with regulatory health authorities. The extent of the impact, if any, we will depend on future developments, including actions taken to contain the coronavirus.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements, no special purpose entities, and no activities that include non-exchange-traded contracts accounted for at fair value.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, 2018. The controls and system currently used by the Company to calculate and record inventory is not operating effectively. Additionally, the Company lacks the resources to properly research and account for complex transactions. The combination of these controls deficiencies has resulted in a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were not effective as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 to provide reasonable assurance that (1) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (2) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

The effectiveness of any system of controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations, and, as a result, there can be no assurance that our controls and procedures will detect all errors or 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 ~~will be attained.~~

~~Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting~~

~~There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June~~September 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
