UNAUDITED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | Description of Business and Summary of Accounting Principles |
Monogram Orthopaedics Inc. (“Monogram” or the “Company”), incorporated in the state of Delaware on April 21, 2016, is working to develop a product solution architecture to eventually enable mass personalized optimization of orthopedic implants by linking 3D printing and robotics via automated digital image analysis algorithms.
The Company has a working navigated robot prototype that can optically track a simulated surgical target and execute optimized auto-generated cut paths for high precision insertion of implants in synthetic bone specimens. These implants and cut-paths are generated with proprietary Monogram software algorithms.
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in our December 31, 2022 Form 1-K.
As permitted by SEC requirements for interim reporting, certain footnotes or other financial information have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. Revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year, therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year.
The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2022 Form 1-K.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is a business that has not yet generated profits, incurred a net loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $10,090,923 and has an accumulated deficit of $47,854,370 as of September 30, 2023.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the next twelve months following the date the unaudited financial statements were available to be issued is dependent upon its ability to produce revenues, raise capital, and/or obtain other financing sufficient to meet current and future obligations. Management has evaluated these conditions and believes its current cash balances, plus the additional capital available under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement described in Note 3, will be sufficient for the Company to satisfy its near-term capital needs and to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period.
Stock Split
On November 30, 2022, the Company effected a two-for-one stock split of its common stock and increased the number of authorized shares of the Company’s capital stock to 150,000,000, with 90,000,000 designated as Common Stock, and 60,000,000 designated as Preferred Stock. All share and loss per share information have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the stock split, the incremental par value of the newly issued shares, and the increased number of authorized shares.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. The Company’s most significant estimates relate to the fair value of the warrant liability, valuations of stock-based compensation, and the income tax valuation allowance. On a continual basis, management reviews its estimates, utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common stock shares outstanding. To the extent that stock options, warrants, and convertible preferred stock are anti-dilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company excluded the following shares from the calculation of diluted loss per share because such amounts were antidilutive:

In connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement described in Note 3, the Company incurred costs totaling $771,341 that will be recognized as a reduction of the proceeds from purchases made under this agreement when such purchases occur in future periods. Of these total costs, $523,362 were paid in cash and $247,980 were settled through the issuance of 45,252 shares of Common Stock to the counterparty to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.
The receivable from the Company’s investment platform vendor was the result of a timing difference between when investors purchased the Company’s shares and remitted payment to the platform vendor and when these funds were released to the Company by the platform vendor.
3. | Preferred and Common Stock |
Issuances of Common Stock
On May 16, 2023, the Company completed an offering pursuant to Tier 2 of Regulation A, in which it raised $15,287,860, net of issuance costs of $1,928,287, from the sale of 2,374,641 shares of Common Stock at a price of $7.25 per share. Subsequently, on May 17, 2023, the Company filed a Form 8-A in connection with the listing of its Common Stock on Nasdaq, which was declared effective on the same date. At that time, each outstanding share of Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred Stock was converted into two shares of Common Stock of the Company.
During May 2023, the Company entered into a consulting arrangement with a vendor under which the Company issued 20,689 shares of restricted Common Stock that vest on a monthly basis over a term of 12 months. The estimated fair value of these shares was $150,000
7
on the date of grant and is being recognized as a component of general and administrative expenses on a straight-line basis over the 12-month vesting term.
Common Stock Purchase Agreement
On July 19, 2023, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital, II LLC (the “BRPC II”), pursuant to which the registrant has the right to sell to BRPC II up to $20.0 million in shares of Common Stock (the “Committed Equity Shares”), subject to certain limitations and the satisfaction of specified conditions in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, from time to time over the 24-month period commencing upon the initial satisfaction of the conditions to the BRPC II’s purchase obligations set forth in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Sales of Common Stock pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, are solely at the Company’s option, and it is under no obligation to sell any securities to BRPC II. Through September 30, 2023, the Company had not sold any shares to BRPC II under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.
As consideration for BRPC II’s commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock at the Company’s direction upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 45,252 shares of Common Stock to BRPC II (the “Commitment Shares”) with a fair market value of $247,980 on the date of issuance. The Company also paid a Commitment Fee of $200,000 to BRPC II.
Under the terms of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, if the aggregate proceeds received by BPRC II from its resale of the Commitment Shares is less than $200,000 then, upon notice by BRPC II, the Company must pay the difference between $200,000 and the aggregate proceeds received by BPRC II from its resale of the Commitment Shares. At September 30, 2023, the market value of the Commitment Shares was $117,655. Therefore, the Company’s make-whole obligation was $82,345 and this amount was recorded as a component of accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet. The change in the fair value of the make-whole obligation is recorded as a component of interest income and other, net, in the accompanying statement of operations.
Offering of Series B Preferred Stock
On January 15, 2021, the Company received a notice of qualification to issue up to 4,784,689 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, plus up to 478,468 additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock eligible to be issued as Bonus Shares to investors. The initial price of each share sold in the offering was $6.27, but this was increased to $7.52 beginning in June 2021. In connection with the Company’s filing of a Form 8-A on May 17, 2023, each share of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock was converted into two shares of Common Stock.
Offering of Series C Preferred Stock
On July 14, 2022, the Company initiated a Regulation CF offering with Novation Solutions Inc. (O/A DealMaker) in which the Company planned to raise up to $5,000,000 from the issuance of 499,500 shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a price per share of $10.01 (the “Series C Offering”). In connection with the Company’s filing of a Form 8-A on May 17, 2023, each share of outstanding Series C Preferred Stock was converted into two shares of Common Stock.
Anti-Dilution Right of CEO
Benjamin Sexson, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), is entitled to pre-emptive rights that permit him to preserve his vested equity position in the Company in the event of any additional issuances of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock), at a per-share price equal to the then current fair value, as reasonably determined by the Board.
4. | Stock Warrants |
Non-Dilutive Warrant
On December 20, 2018, the Company issued a non-dilutive warrant that expires on December 20, 2025. The warrant has an exercise price of $1,250,000 and is exercisable into (i) shares of Common Stock equal to five percent (5%), calculated on a post-exercise basis, of the fully diluted capitalization of the Company, as of the date or dates of exercise, plus (ii) shares of preferred stock of each class or series of preferred stock of the Company equal to five percent (5%), calculated on a post-exercise basis, of the total issued and outstanding number of preferred shares of the Company, as of the date or dates of exercise.
8
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, this warrant was exercisable into a total of 1,828,551 and 1,697,525 shares, respectively, of the Company’s capital stock. The fair value of the warrant was $3,504,233 at September 30, 2023 and, since the warrant was exercised in early October 2023 (see Note 6), was calculated based on the difference between the $2.60 per share fair value of the Company’s Common Stock on September 30, 2023 and the $0.6836 per share exercise price of the warrant.
Exercised Warrant
In October 2020, the Company issued a warrant to a vendor in exchange for platform and technology services provided to the Company in connection with its offering of Series B Preferred Stock. At December 31, 2022, the warrant was exercisable into 116,457 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the estimated value of the warrant liability was $127,059. On May 18, 2023, the holder executed a cashless exercise of the warrant and received 78,837 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which represented the difference between the total warrant shares issuable at exercise and the 37,619 warrant shares withheld by the Company to satisfy the holder’s exercise price obligation. Immediately prior to the exercise, the Company remeasured the fair value of the warrant and recorded a loss from the change in the fair value of $805,135.
Other Warrant
In February 2019, the Company entered into a warrant agreement that provided the holder with the right to acquire $1,000,000 worth of shares of the Company’s capital stock upon the occurrence of the Company raising $5,000,000 in an equity financing. This warrant is exercisable into 547,944 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.825 per share and expires in February 2024.
5. | Stock Options |
The Company has adopted a stock option plan covering the issuance of up to 5,200,300 shares of Common Stock to qualified individuals. Options granted under this plan vest over four years and expire ten years from the date of the grant. The following table summarizes stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

6. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Under the Company’s Exclusive License Agreement with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (“Mt. Sinai”), the Company has an obligation to make certain payments to Mt. Sinai as a result of reaching certain milestones in the development and sales of the product, and for significant events related to the Company. The Company is currently in discussions with Mt. Sinai in regard to the payment obligation associated with a “Significant Transaction” following the Company becoming publicly traded on Nasdaq without undertaking a traditional initial public offering contemplated by that term. Current discussions may require the Company to make a payment to Mt. Sinai, or to provide Mt. Sinai a senior note reflecting the obligation to make payment under the terms of the Exclusive License Agreement.

7. | Subsequent Events |
On October 2, 2023, Pro-Dex, the holder of the non-dilutive warrant described in Note 4 paid the Company $1,250,000 to exercise this warrant into 1,828,551 shares of Common Stock. As consideration for Pro-Dex agreeing to exercise this warrant, the Company agreed to issue Pro-Dex “Coverage Warrants”. Under the terms of the Coverage Warrants, if, (a) between October 2, 2023 and March 31, 2024 or (b) during the six month period between (i) April 1 and September 30 and (ii) October 1 and March 31 of each year thereafter, Monogram engages in or otherwise consummates an issuance of securities that results in Monogram receiving, or having the right to receive, gross proceeds of $5,000,000 or more during such period, then Monogram will issue Pro-Dex a warrant to be exercised in cash to purchase 5% (calculated after giving effect to such issuance to Pro-Dex) of the types, series and classes of securities issued during such period at a price equal to the total gross proceeds received over the such period divided by the number of securities issued during that same period on terms at least as favorable to Pro-Dex as the most favorable terms pursuant to which any such securities are acquired by any investor during such period (each, a “Coverage Warrant”). Each Coverage Warrant will be issued to Pro-Dex within ten (10) business day after the last day of the applicable period, will have a term of six (6) months from the date of issuance and, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Pro-Dex in its sole and absolute discretion, will have other provisions consistent with the provisions of the Warrants. Pro-Dex’s rights in this regard will expire on December 31, 2025 and will apply to all Warrant Coverage issuances conducted from time to time, and at any time, by Monogram prior to that date.
Apart from the events described above, no additional material events were identified which require adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current plans, expectations, and beliefs, involving risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.
Overview
Monogram Orthopaedics, Inc was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 21, 2016. Monogram Orthopaedics is working to develop a product solution architecture with the long-term goal to enable patient-optimized orthopaedic implants economically at scale by linking 3D printing and robotics with advanced pre-operative imaging. The Company has a robot prototype that can autonomously execute optimized paths for high precision insertion of implants in synthetic bone specimens. Monogram intends to produce and market robotic surgical equipment and related software, orthopaedic implants, tissue ablation tools, navigation consumables, and other miscellaneous instrumentation necessary for reconstructive joint replacement procedures. The Company has not yet made 510(k) premarket notification submissions or obtained 510(k) premarket clearances for any of its robotic products. FDA 510(k) premarket clearance is required to market our products, and the Company has not obtained FDA 510(k) premarket clearance for any of its robotic products, and it cannot estimate the timing, or assure our ability, to obtain such clearances.
Results of Operations For The Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Revenues
The Company is currently focused on commercialization of its robotic products, including seeking 510(k) clearances from the FDA for those products. Sales of products have not yet commenced, and therefore no revenues have been recognized during 2022 or 2023 to date.
Operating Expenses

Research and Development (R&D) expenses more than doubled during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 (as well as during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022). The growth in R&D expenses during these periods in 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 was driven primarily by the increased efforts in the development of our sagittal cutting systems and related platform software required to operate our active navigated robotic system, as well as the company moving into the verification phase of the development of its robot prototype. The verification phase involves intensive testing and optimization of the prototype design through an iterative process of design changes and material changes to achieve an optimum system. This led to increased costs in prototype material expenses, payroll and related expenses and contractor expenses. R&D expenses in both periods were primarily comprised of payroll and related costs, contractor and prototype material expenses for the development of its novel robotic system and associated implants. The Company anticipates continued elevated R&D expenses related to the development of its next generation marker less tracking technology and through the verification and validation phases of the technology development over the remainder of the year.
11
Marketing and advertising expenses decreased approximately 72% during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, but were relatively low in both periods. The elevated marketing expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily the result of onetime marketing expenses associated with the Series C Offering during this period.
Marketing and advertising expenses increased approximately 19% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This growth in marketing and advertising expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was driven by the marketing campaign related to the Common Stock Offering that began in Q1 2023 and successfully culminated with a round closing in May of 2023. The Company also raised funds pursuant to the Series B and Series C Offerings during 2022 – however, the Company increased its marketing expenditures related to the Common Stock Offering to help drive the success of this offering, which led to an increase in marketing and advertising spend during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
General and Administrative expenses increased significantly during the three months (135%) and nine months (109%) ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The growth in General and Administrative (G&A) expense during these periods in 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 was driven primarily by increases in compensation expenses, insurance and regulatory compliance expenses, facilities expenses (such as rent), and consulting and professional fees.
● | The increase in compensation expenses during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 resulted from an increase in the number of full-time employees of the Company in both periods, as well as an increase in bonus and stock-based compensation in both periods to help ensure labor retention in a tight labor market. |
● | The increase in insurance and regulatory compliance expenses during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 relate to the additional insurance and regulatory compliance activities required to list as a publicly traded company on NASDAQ, which occurred mid-2023 (and therefore led to an increase in expenses compared to these same periods in 2022 before the Company had it shares of Common Stock listed on NASDAQ). |
● | Facilities expenses have increased year over year due to slight rent rate increases combined with additional leased space added to support the Company’s expanded operations (including a larger workforce), which has led to increases in facilities expenses during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022). |
● | The increases in consulting and professional services during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 relate primarily to efforts required to support the Regulation A fund raise, the Company’s offering of Common Stock pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-1 that was declared effective on September 7, 2023, the filing of an additional S-1 form related to the execution of an Equity Line of Credit, and continued protection for the Company’s intellectual property, which has expanded in 2023 compared to 2022. |

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the change in the fair value of the warrant liability resulted in gains of $2,646,399 and $3,088,533, respectively. These gains primarily resulted from a decrease in the value of the Company’s Common Stock used to estimate the fair value of the warrants. Certain stock purchase warrants issued by the Company in previous years include anti-dilution protections. As a result, when the Company issues shares in connection with its ongoing capital raising efforts, the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of these warrants increases proportionally. Changes in the fair value of the warrant liability primarily
12
result from (i) increases to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants and (ii) changes in the underlying fair value of the Company’s Common Stock into which the warrants are exercisable.
Additionally, the Company had interest income of $114,973 and $211,842 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. In both periods, this represented a significant increase from the prior comparable periods in 2022. This increase was driven by investing excess cash generated from the Common Stock Offering in a JP Morgan US Government Money Market Fund and was partially offset by an $82,345 loss resulting from a change in the fair value of the Company’s make-whole provision related to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement discussed below in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, the Company had a net loss of $995,660 and $10,090,923 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. This was a significant improvement (76% reduction in net loss) compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 – however, it was only a slight improvement (5% reduction in net loss) compared to the net loss of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $14.9 million in cash on hand, largely resulting from proceeds received from the Company’s Common Stock Offering that ended in May 2023. The Company has recorded losses since inception and, as of September 30, 2023 had working capital of approximately $10.2 million and total stockholders’ equity of $11,872,408. Since inception, the Company has been primarily capitalized through securities offerings. The Company plans to continue to try to raise additional capital through available financing options to the Company, including, but not limited to, registered or exempt equity and/or debt offerings, as well as straight or convertible debt financings, although there can be no assurance that we will be successful in these fundraising efforts. Absent additional capital, the Company may be forced to reduce expenses significantly and could become insolvent.
To provide additional flexibility to the Company ahead of generating revenues to support operations, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital, II LLC (the “BRPC II”) on July 19, 2023. Under the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to BRPC II up to $20.0 million in shares of Common Stock (the “Committed Equity Shares”), subject to certain limitations and the satisfaction of specified conditions in the Purchase Agreement, from time to time over the 24-month period commencing upon the initial satisfaction of the conditions to the BRPC II’s purchase obligations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including that the registration statement declared effective by the SEC on September 7, 2023. Sales of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, are solely at the Company’s option, and it is under no obligation to sell any securities to BRPC II under the Purchase Agreement. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 393 shares have been sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for net proceeds of $1,174.74.
Obligation under Mt. Sinai License Agreement
Under the Company’s Exclusive License Agreement with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, the Company has an obligation to make certain payments to Mt. Sinai as a result of reaching certain milestones in the development and sales of the product, and for significant events related to the Company. We are currently in discussions with Mt. Sinai in regard to the payment obligation associated with a “Significant Transaction” following the Company becoming publicly traded on Nasdaq without undertaking a traditional initial public offering contemplated by that term. Current discussions may require the Company to make a payment to Mt. Sinai, or to provide Mt. Sinai a senior note reflecting the obligation to make payment under the terms of the Exclusive License Agreement.
The Company estimates its current cash reserves, as well as the potential cash available under the Purchase Agreement, will be sufficient to fund the Company’s current rate of operations for the 12 months following the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Issuances of Equity
On January 15, 2021, the SEC qualified a Regulation A – Tier 2 offering the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, in which the Company sought to raise up to $30,000,000 from the issuance of 4,784,689 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Offering”). On June 1, 2021, Monogram filed a supplement on Form 253G2 to increase the price per share in the Series B Offering from $6.27 per share to $7.52 per share, effectively increasing the maximum offering amount to $34,863,105 in the Series B Offering. The Company terminated the Series B Offering on February 18, 2022. In total, Monogram raised $21,129,000 from the sale of 3,195,599 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the Series B Offering.
13
On July 14, 2022, Monogram commenced a Regulation Crowdfunding offering (the “Series C Offering”), pursuant to which it raised gross proceeds $4,599,145 from the issuance of 459,455 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, for approximately $3,867,000 in net proceeds (after accounting for offering expenses). The Series C Offering is closed as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On March 1, 2023, the SEC qualified a Regulation A – Tier 2 offering of the Company’s Common Stock, in which the Company sought to raise up to $30 million from investors (the “Common Stock Offering”). The Common Stock Offering closed on May 16, 2023, and a total of 2,374,641 shares of Common Stock were sold in this offering for gross proceeds of $17,216,147, in which the Company received net proceeds of $16,011,017, net of issuance costs of $1,205,130. Subsequently, on May 17, 2023, the Company filed a Form 8-A in connection with the listing our Common Stock on Nasdaq, which was declared effective on the same date. At that time, each outstanding share of Series A, Series B, and Series C Preferred Stock was converted into two shares of Common Stock of the Company.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on August 28, 2023 (and declared effective on September 7, 2023), Pro-Dex, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Pro-Dex”) and the Company were previously engaged in active discussions around Pro-Dex exercising its warrants in advance of the contractual expiration date of those warrants. Pro-Dex held warrants to purchase up to 5% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company as of the date of the exercise, calculated on a post-exercise basis. The warrants had an exercise price of $1,250,000, were exercisable at any time prior to December 20, 2025 (the “Warrants”)
On October 2, 2023, Pro-Dex agreed to exercise the Warrants in full in cash for Common Stock of Monogram within five (5) business days. As consideration for Pro-Dex agreeing to exercise the Warrants, the Company agreed to the following:
Coverage Warrants. If, (a) between October 2, 2023 and March 31, 2024; or (b) during the six month period between (i) April 1 and September 30 or (ii) October 1 and March 31 of each year thereafter, Monogram engages in or otherwise consummates an issuance of securities that results in Monogram receiving, or having the right to receive, gross proceeds of $5,000,000 or more during such period, then Monogram will issue Pro-Dex a warrant to be exercised in cash to purchase 5% (calculated after giving effect to such issuance to Pro-Dex) of the types, series and classes of securities issued during such period at a price equal to the total gross proceeds received over the such period divided by the number of securities issued during that same period on terms at least as favorable to Pro-Dex as the most favorable terms pursuant to which any such securities are acquired by any investor during such period (each, a “Coverage Warrant”). Each Coverage Warrant will be issued to Pro-Dex within ten (10) business day after the last day of the applicable period, will have a term of six (6) months from the date of issuance and, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Pro-Dex in its sole and absolute discretion, will have other provisions consistent with the provisions of the Warrants. Pro-Dex’s rights in this regard will expire on December 31, 2025 and will apply to all Warrant Coverage issuances conducted from time to time, and at any time, by Monogram prior to that date.
Piggyback Rights. Monogram agreed to grant Pro-Dex piggyback registration rights for all Monogram securities from time to time owned by Pro-Dex on terms at least as favorable to Pro-Dex as Monogram may at any time grant piggyback (or equivalent) registration rights to any other holder of Monogram securities.
Effective October 2, 2023, Pro-Dex completed the exercise all of its Warrants for 1,828,551 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.68360138711 per share, resulting in total proceeds to the Company of $1,250,000. The issuance of these shares upon exercise of the Warrants was made by the Company pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.
Indebtedness
As of September 30, 2023 the Company had $6,362,573 in total liabilities. Of this amount, $3,504,233 was represented by the estimated fair value of our warrant liability (almost all of which was attributable to Warrants held by Pro-Dex, which have been exercised and are no longer outstanding as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). The next biggest component of our total liabilities was $1,784,992 in trade accounts payable, which increased from $1,121,822 compared to December 31, 2022 primarily due to invoices submitted from our development partners in relation to the R&D spend on increased development efforts and the initiation of the verification process, legal invoices related to our recent financings and an overall increase in the average number of days our Company takes to pay our accounts payable. The remainder was comprised of accrued expenses and the present value of the Company’s operating lease payment commitments.
The Company currently has no material commitments for capital expenditures.

Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is a business that has not yet generated profits, with a loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $995,660 and $10,090,923, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $47,854,370 as of September 30, 2023.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the next twelve months following the date the unaudited financial statements were available to be issued is dependent upon its ability to produce revenues and/or obtain financing sufficient to meet current and future obligations and deploy such to produce profitable operating results. Management has evaluated these conditions and believes its current cash balances, plus the additional capital available under the Purchase Agreement, will be sufficient for the Company to satisfy its near-term capital needs and to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period.

Cash provided by financing activities | | $ | 14,877,980 | | $ | 10,543,339 |
Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities increased by 54% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Of the approximately $10.1 million net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were various cash and non-cash adjustments that were added back to the net loss to arrive at $10,430,384 cash used for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. These adjustments include stock compensation expense of $1,158,519, depreciation and amortization of $307,293, and an increase in accounts payable of $1,121,822 offset by a change in the fair value of warrant liability (related to the Warrants held by Pro-Dex) of $3,088,533, an increase in other current assets of $273,079, and a decrease in accrued liabilities of $197,243.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $40,765, compared to $206,553 used in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 related to the purchase of equipment to support the development of to our robotic product candidates. These equipment purchases reduced during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 as the equipment needed to support these efforts were mostly purchased in previous periods.
Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash from financing activities was $14,877,980, comprised primarily of proceeds from the Company’s Common Stock Offering, compared to $10,543,339 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, comprised primarily of proceeds from the Company’s Series B and C Offerings.
Impact of inflation
While inflation may impact our capital and operating expenditures, we believe the effects of inflation, if any, on our results of operations and financial condition have not been significant. However, there can be no assurance that our results of operations and financial condition will not be materially impacted by inflation in the future, including by heightened levels of inflation experienced globally as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and recent geopolitical conflict.
Funding Requirements
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, including potential cash available to us under the Purchase Agreement, will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for at least 12 months from the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. However,
15
our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could expend capital resources sooner than we expect.
Future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
● | Establishing and maintaining supply relationships with third parties that can provide adequate, in both amount and quality, products and services to support our development; |
● | Technological or manufacturing difficulties, design issues or other unforeseen matters; |
● | Addressing any competing technological and market developments; |
● | Seeking and obtaining regulatory approvals; and |
● | Attracting, hiring, and retaining qualified personnel. |
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenues to support our cost structure, we expect to finance cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, commercial and other similar arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of stockholders will be, or could 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 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 capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through commercial agreements, or other similar arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies and/or future revenue streams, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us and/or may reduce the value of our Common Stock. Also, our ability to raise necessary financing could be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, recent geopolitical events, and inflationary economic conditions and their effects on the market conditions. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market other products even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market these products ourselves or potentially discontinue operations.
Summary of Accounting Principles
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are consistent in all material respects with those applied in our December 31, 2022 Form 1-K.
As permitted by SEC requirements for interim reporting, certain footnotes or other financial information have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. Revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year, therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year.
The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 2022 Form 1-K.
Stock Split
On November 30, 2022, the Company effected a two-for-one stock split of its Common Stock and increased the number of authorized shares of the Company’s capital stock to 150,000,000, with 90,000,000 designated as Common Stock, and 60,000,000 designated as Preferred Stock. All share and loss per share information have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the stock split, the incremental par value of the newly issued shares, and the increased number of authorized shares.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
16
the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s most significant estimates relate to the fair value of the warrant liability, valuations of stock-based compensation, and the income tax valuation allowance. On a continual basis, management reviews its estimates, utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.
Emerging Growth Company
As a Nasdaq listed public reporting company, we are required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company”, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies”, including but not limited to:
● | not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; |
● | taking advantage of extensions of time to comply with certain new or revised financial accounting standards; |
● | being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and |
● | being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |
We expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, beginning January 26, 2022, although if the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of June 30th, before that time, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” as of the following December 31st.
In summary, we are subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not “emerging growth companies” and therefore, our shareholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
17
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023. Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.
Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023.
Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
