Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Helius Medical Technologies, Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2024 (“2023 10-K”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted.
There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies from those described in the 2023 Form 10-K. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the opinion of management, the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments, unless otherwise noted herein, are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
Reverse Stock Split
At the annual meeting of stockholders on May 24, 2023, our stockholders voted to approve a reverse stock split of our outstanding Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) at a ratio in the range of 1-for-
to 1-for- to be determined at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). On August 11, 2023, the Board approved a 1-for- reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Refer to Note 6 for additional information.All issued and outstanding Common Stock and per share amounts contained in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented. In addition, a proportionate adjustment was made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock. In accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement for the Public Warrants described further in Note 6, the exercise price for these warrants was reset to the volume-weighted average price for the
Going Concern Uncertainty
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents of $
7
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are filed. The Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business; no adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.
The Company intends to fund ongoing activities by utilizing its current cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash received from the sale of its PoNS device in the U.S. and Canada and by raising additional capital through equity or debt financings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional capital, the Company may be compelled to reduce the scope of its operations.
Global Economic Conditions
Generally, worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain, particularly due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas, disruptions in the banking system and financial markets and increased inflation. The general economic and capital market conditions both in the United States and worldwide, have been volatile in the past and at times have adversely affected the Company’s access to capital and increased the cost of capital. The capital and credit markets may not be available to support future capital raising activity on favorable terms. If economic conditions decline, the Company’s future cost of equity or debt capital and access to the capital markets could be adversely affected.
Changes in economic conditions, supply chain constraints, logistics challenges, labor shortages, the effects of conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, disruptions in the banking system and financial markets, high levels of inflation and an increase in interest rates have increased costs and have had and may continue to have a negative impact on the Company’s business. Although the Company has taken and may continue to take measures to mitigate these impacts, if these measures are not effective, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity could be materially adversely affected.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The guidance requires expanded interim and annual disclosures of segment information including the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within segment profit and loss. The guidance is effective for the Company's fiscal 2024 Form 10-K and interim periods thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The guidance requires expanded annual disclosures including the standardization and disaggregation of income tax rate reconciliation categories and the amount of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value of an asset or liability considers assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including consideration of non-performance risk. The inputs used to determine fair values are categorized in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include financial instruments for which the fair market value of such instruments may differ from amounts reflected on a historical cost basis. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, financial instruments of the Company consist of cash equivalents, which were comprised of deposits of excess cash in an unrestricted money market savings account and a money market mutual fund. The carrying value of cash equivalents generally approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.
The Company’s derivative liability as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is comprised of warrants issued in connection with the registered public offering completed in August 2022 (“August 2022 Public Offering”) discussed in more detail in Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included our 2023 10-K. The derivative liability is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy and is required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. See Note 6 for further information on the fair value of the derivative liability.
The majority of the Company’s non-financial instruments, which include intangible assets, lease assets, inventories and property and equipment, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur (or at least annually for indefinite-lived intangible assets), a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment. If the Company determines that the non-financial instrument is impaired, the Company would be required to write down the non-financial instrument to its fair value.

6. COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS
At-The-Market Offering
On June 23, 2023, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”) to create an at-the-market offering program (“ATM”) under which the Company may offer and sell shares with an aggregate offering price of up to $
Series B Preferred Stock
On March 23, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one
-thousandth of a share of Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) for each outstanding share of Common Stock held of record on April 3, 2023. The value of the Series B Preferred Stock issued in connection with the stock dividend was immaterial.The outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will vote together with the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, as a single class, exclusively with respect to a proposal giving the Board of Directors the authority, as it determines appropriate, to implement a reverse stock split within twelve months following the approval of such proposal by the Company’s stockholders as well as any proposal to adjourn any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of voting on the foregoing matters.
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock entitled the holder to
At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company held on May 24, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding Common Stock. All shares of Series B Preferred Stock that did not vote in person or by proxy were redeemed in whole by the Company. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock that did vote in person or by proxy will need to request redemption from the Company at a rate of $

The fair value of the 2022 Warrants as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was determined using both a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses multiple input variables to determine the probability of the occurrence of a price reset or a fundamental transaction and the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table includes the share price and the inputs used to estimate the fair value of the warrants:

Company Overview
We are a neurotechnology company focused on neurological wellness. Our purpose is to develop, license or acquire non-implantable technologies targeted at reducing symptoms of neurological disease or trauma.
Our product, known as the Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator, or PoNS®, is an innovative non-implantable medical device, inclusive of a controller and mouthpiece, which delivers mild electrical stimulation to the surface of the tongue to provide treatment of gait deficit and chronic balance deficit. PoNS Therapy® is integral to the overall PoNS solution and is the physical therapy applied by patients during use of the PoNS device. PoNS has marketing clearance in the U.S. for use as a short-term treatment of gait deficit due to mild-to-moderate symptoms for multiple sclerosis (“MS’) and is to be used as an adjunct to a supervised therapeutic exercise program in patients 22 years of age and over by prescription only. We began accepting prescriptions for PoNS in the U.S. in March 2022, and commercial sales of PoNS commenced in April 2022. PoNS is authorized for sale in Canada for three indications: (i) as a short term treatment (14 weeks) of chronic balance deficit due to mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury and is to be used in conjunction with physical therapy; (ii) as a short term treatment (14 weeks) of gait deficit due to mild and moderate symptoms from MS and it is to be used in conjunction with physical therapy; and (iii) as a short term treatment (14 weeks) of gait deficit due to mild and moderate symptoms from stroke, to be used in conjunction with physical therapy. It has been commercially available in Canada since March 2019. PoNS is authorized for sale as a Class IIa medical device in Australia and we have been seeking a business partner to commercialize and distribute PoNS in Australia.
Recent Developments
Corporate Updates
As discussed further in Note 6 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in May 2024, the Company closed on a public offering of its Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) and warrants and received net proceeds of approximately 5.6 million.
On May 2, 2024, CMS published a proposed fee schedule payment rates for the PoNS Controller and PoNS Mouthpiece to be discussed at CMS' bi-annual Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (“HCPCS”) public meeting to be held on May 29, 2024. For the PoNS Controller (HCPCS Code A4593), CMS preliminarily set pricing by mapping reimbursement to existing code E0745, (Neuromuscular stimulator, electronic shock unit), resulting in a capped fee of $1,206.53. For the PoNS Mouthpiece (HCPCS code A4594), CMS based pricing on the cash pay price of $4,500, resulting in a total capped payment of $3,075.53.
On April 4, 2024, the Company received written notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company no longer complies with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC because the Company’s stockholders' equity, as reported in our 2023 10-K, has fallen below $2.5 million. The notice also indicates that the Company does not meet the alternative compliance standards. Under applicable Nasdaq rules, the Company has 45 calendar days from the date of the notice, or until May 20, 2024, to submit a plan to regain compliance. The Company intends to timely submit such a plan to Nasdaq. If the Company’s plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the notice to evidence compliance. The notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s Common Stock, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbol “HSDT”.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company partnered with Lovell Government Services (“Lovell”), an SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (“SDVOSB”), to make the PoNS device available to federal healthcare systems.
On February 29, 2024, CMS assigned HCPCS Level II codes to the PoNS controller and PoNS mouthpiece, effective April 1, 2024. The Company has since provided CMS additional information to support reimbursement economics ahead of the public meetings expected in late May 2024 for consideration by CMS for determination of a reimbursement amount for each of the PoNS controller and mouthpiece in our efforts to secure reimbursement by CMS to be effective October 1, 2024.
16
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company reached alignment with the FDA on the stroke program that consists of two studies a clinical trial of PoNS Therapy in stroke participants in collaboration with Medical University of South Carolina that commenced in 2023 and an open label study to evaluate the therapeutic benefit of PoNS in chronic stroke subjects started enrolling participants in the first quarter of 2024 in three sites in the U.S. and Canada as part of our registrational program for gait and balance deficit due to stroke. Enrollment for both studies is expected to be completed by the end of 2024 with a submission to FDA targeted for mid-to-late 2025.
During the third quarter of 2023, the Company began implementing the transition of the manufacturing of PoNS device controllers and mouthpieces to Minnetronix, Inc. from its previous contract manufacturer, Key Tronic Corporation. The Company expects the transition to be fully completed in the third quarter of 2024.
Presently, PoNS Therapy is not covered by CMS or reimbursed by any third-party payers in the U.S. We are pursuing commercial insurance coverage and Medicare reimbursement for PoNS within the Durable Medical Equipment, or DME, benefit category. We expect to interact again with CMS in late May 2024 to seek Medicare final payment determinations for both codes to be effective at the next scheduled date of October 1, 2024.
We will continue to monitor the development of CMS’s new pathway for coverage of innovative new devices, Transitional Coverage of Emerging Technology (“TCET”), which is replacing the repealed Medicare Coverage of Innovative Technologies rule. CMS is expected to provide additional information about TCET to the public for comments in 2024. As we follow the evolution of TCET, we will continue to assess our evidence generation strategy to reach the greatest potential to gain CMS reimbursement benefits as a result of our Breakthrough designation in MS.
We also intend to provide broad access and reimbursement for the PoNS Therapy over time through commercial insurers. Prior to the initiation of CMS or broad commercial payer coverage, we anticipate the primary source of sales will be self-pay patients. We expect to support the cost of the PoNS Therapy by offering a cash pay discount, collaborating with third parties to provide self-pay patients with financing options as well as working with advocacy groups and charitable organizations to help self-pay patients access our technology. In general, we anticipate that it will take at least 24 months to obtain broad coverage and reimbursement among government and private payers once the HCPCS codes become effective.
Material Trends and Uncertainties
Global Economic Conditions
Generally, worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain, in part due to supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, global conflicts and increased inflation. The general economic and capital market conditions both in the U.S. and worldwide, have been volatile in recent years and at times have adversely affected our access to capital and have increased the cost of capital. The capital and credit markets may not be available to support future capital raising activity on favorable terms. If economic conditions continue to remain volatile or decline, our future cost of equity or debt capital and access to the capital markets could be adversely affected.
Our operating results could be materially impacted by changes in the overall macroeconomic environment and other economic factors. Changes in economic conditions, supply chain constraints, logistics challenges, labor shortages, global conflicts such as the conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East, and steps taken by governments and central banks as well as other stimulus and spending programs, have led to higher inflation, which has led to an increase in costs and has caused changes in fiscal and monetary policy, including increased interest rates. Although we may take measures to mitigate these impacts, if these measures are not effective, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity could be materially adversely affected.

Revenue
Net product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were comparable to the same period in the prior year.
Cost of Revenue
The cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared with the same period in the prior year remained relatively flat year to year and is comprised of product costs from net product sales and fixed overhead costs.
Gross Profit (Loss)
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $12 thousand compared to gross loss of $11 thousand for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily a result of a decrease in inventory reserve and an increase in other revenue.
18
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to 2023 resulted primarily from a $0.4 million decrease in professional fees and payroll related expenses, partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in contract manufacturer expense associated with the transition to the new contract manufacturer during the current year period.
Research and Development Expense
The decrease in research and development expenses was driven primarily by a decrease in product development expenses and clinical trial activities as we transitioned our focus from product development and clinical trials to U.S. commercialization activities.
Amortization Expense
Amortization expense was primarily comprised of the amortization of acquired finite-lived intangible assets. The change in amortization expense period over period is primarily due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized.
Nonoperating income (expense)
Interest Income (Expense), Net
Net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to net interest income in the prior year period resulted from lower balances earning interest income year to year, respectively, offset by interest expense related to lease commitments.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability
As discussed in more detail in Note 6 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the warrants issued in connection with the public offering completed on August 9, 2022 are being accounted for as a derivative liability instrument. The gain on change in fair value of derivative liability for the three months ended March 31, 2024 of $1.1 million was primarily due to a decrease in our stock price.
Foreign Exchange Loss
The change in foreign exchange (loss) gain was primarily due to fluctuations in the Canadian to U.S. dollar exchange rates.
Other Income, Net
Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to dividend income earned on investments of excess cash in money market mutual funds.
19
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents and working capital as of the end of the periods indicated in the table below (in thousands):
| March 31, | December 31, | ||||
2024 | 2023 | |||||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 3,638 | $ | 5,182 | ||
Working capital | 3,948 | 5,559 |
Our available capital resources have been primarily used to expand our U.S. commercialization efforts, fund manufacturing activities for the PoNS device, conduct clinical trials and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Our primary sources of cash and cash equivalents have been proceeds from public and private offerings of our Common Stock, which most recently included $16.3 million in net proceeds we received from a public offering of our Common Stock and warrants completed in August 2022 as discussed in more detail in Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included our 2023 10-K. As discussed in more detail in Note 6 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company entered into a sales agreement related to our at-the-market offering program (“ATM”) under which we may offer and sell shares having gross proceeds up to $2.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company issued and sold shares with gross proceeds of $1.4 million under the ATM. As discussed in more detail in Note 6, the Company received gross proceeds of $0.2 million from the issuance of shares upon the exercise of warrants in the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Statement of Cash Flows

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
The lower level of cash used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily resulted from the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses as compared with the same period in the prior year.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Our investing activities are primarily related to the purchases of property and equipment.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we received net proceeds of $1.3 million from the issuance and sale of shares under the ATM. In addition, we received $0.2 million in net proceeds from the exercise of warrants.
Cash Requirements
Our ability to generate product revenues sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful commercialization of PoNS Therapy in the U.S. Our net loss was $2.5 million for each of the three months ended March
20
31, 2024 and 2023. As of March 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $162.5 million. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. These and other factors indicate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Refer to Note 1 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion about our going concern uncertainty.
We intend to use our available capital resources primarily to expand our U.S. commercialization efforts, fund manufacturing activities for the PoNS device, conduct clinical trials and for working capital and general corporate purposes. We believe that our existing capital resources, as well as the 5.6 million net proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock in May 2024 will be sufficient to fund our operations into 2025, but we will be required to seek additional funding through the sale of equity or debt financing to continue to fund our operations thereafter. We will need additional funding for our planned clinical trial for stroke. The amount required to fund operations thereafter will depend on various factors, including timing of approval of clinical trials, duration and result of clinical trials and other factors that affect the cost of the clinical trial, manufacturing costs of product, development of our product for new indications and demand for our authorized products in the market.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital, we may be compelled to reduce the scope of our operations and planned capital expenditure or sell certain assets, including intellectual property, and we may be forced to cease or wind down operations, seek protection under the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or liquidate and dissolve our company.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This preparation requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” of our 2023 10-K. There have been no changes in critical accounting policies in the current year from those described in our 2023 10-K.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our management has concluded that the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
21
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are subject to litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceeding against us that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business is subject to risks and events that, if they occur, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the trading price of our securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our risk factors have not changed materially from those risk factors previously disclosed in our 2023 10-K except as set forth below. You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2023 10-K. The risks described in our 2023 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Risks Related to our Reliance on Third Parties
We are currently in the process of transitioning our manufacturing functions to a new contract manufacturer and any delays in the manufacturing process as a result of this transition could harm our business.
We have depended on our third-party contract manufacturing partner, Key Tronic Corporation, to manufacture and supply our PoNS device for clinical and commercial purposes. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company began implementing the transition of the manufacturing of PoNS systems and mouthpieces to Minnetronix, Inc. While the Company expects this transition to be fully completed in the third quarter of 2024, it is possible that the transition could create delays or disruptions in the manufacturing process. Any delays or disruptions in the manufacturing of our PoNS device during this transition could negatively impact our business.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
None.
Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities
Not applicable.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information
On March 12, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and adopted the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Second Amended and Restated Bylaws”), which became effective the same day. Among other things, the amendments contained in the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION | 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Helius Medical Technologies, Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2024 (“2023 10-K”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies from those described in the 2023 Form 10-K. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments, unless otherwise noted herein, are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. Reverse Stock Split At the annual meeting of stockholders on May 24, 2023, our stockholders voted to approve a reverse stock split of our outstanding Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) at a ratio in the range of 1-for- to 1-for- to be determined at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). On August 11, 2023, the Board approved a 1-for- reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Refer to Note 6 for additional information.All issued and outstanding Common Stock and per share amounts contained in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented. In addition, a proportionate adjustment was made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock. In accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement for the Public Warrants described further in Note 6, the exercise price for these warrants was reset to the volume-weighted average price for the five days following the Reverse Stock Split. A proportionate adjustment was also made to the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive compensation plans to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock that was created as a result of the Reverse Stock Split was rounded down to the next whole share and stockholders received cash settlement equal to the market value of the fractional share, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing sales price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq on the last trading day before the Reverse Stock Split effective date. The authorized shares and par value of the Common Stock and preferred stock were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Going Concern Uncertainty As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents of $3.6 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had an operating loss of $3.4 million, and as of March 31, 2024, its accumulated deficit was $162.5 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had $0.1 million of net revenue from the commercial sale of products. The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses and net cash outflows until such time as it generates a level of revenue to support its cost structure. There is no assurance that the Company will achieve profitable operations, and, if achieved, whether it will be sustained on a continued basis. These factors indicate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are filed. The Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business; no adjustments have been made relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern. The Company intends to fund ongoing activities by utilizing its current cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash received from the sale of its PoNS device in the U.S. and Canada and by raising additional capital through equity or debt financings. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional capital, the Company may be compelled to reduce the scope of its operations. Global Economic Conditions Generally, worldwide economic conditions remain uncertain, particularly due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas, disruptions in the banking system and financial markets and increased inflation. The general economic and capital market conditions both in the United States and worldwide, have been volatile in the past and at times have adversely affected the Company’s access to capital and increased the cost of capital. The capital and credit markets may not be available to support future capital raising activity on favorable terms. If economic conditions decline, the Company’s future cost of equity or debt capital and access to the capital markets could be adversely affected. Changes in economic conditions, supply chain constraints, logistics challenges, labor shortages, the effects of conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, disruptions in the banking system and financial markets, high levels of inflation and an increase in interest rates have increased costs and have had and may continue to have a negative impact on the Company’s business. Although the Company has taken and may continue to take measures to mitigate these impacts, if these measures are not effective, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. |

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | 5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value of an asset or liability considers assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including consideration of non-performance risk. The inputs used to determine fair values are categorized in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy: Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include financial instruments for which the fair market value of such instruments may differ from amounts reflected on a historical cost basis. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, financial instruments of the Company consist of cash equivalents, which were comprised of deposits of excess cash in an unrestricted money market savings account and a money market mutual fund. The carrying value of cash equivalents generally approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The Company’s derivative liability as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is comprised of warrants issued in connection with the registered public offering completed in August 2022 (“August 2022 Public Offering”) discussed in more detail in Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included our 2023 10-K. The derivative liability is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy and is required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. See Note 6 for further information on the fair value of the derivative liability. The majority of the Company’s non-financial instruments, which include intangible assets, lease assets, inventories and property and equipment, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur (or at least annually for indefinite-lived intangible assets), a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment. If the Company determines that the non-financial instrument is impaired, the Company would be required to write down the non-financial instrument to its fair value.

COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS | 6. COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS At-The-Market Offering On June 23, 2023, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”) to create an at-the-market offering program (“ATM”) under which the Company may offer and sell shares with an aggregate offering price of up to $2.0 million. Roth is entitled to a fixed commission rate equal to up to 3% of the gross proceeds pursuant to the Sales Agreement. As of March 31, 2024, 201,211 shares have been sold under the ATM generating net proceeds of $1.8 million. Series B Preferred Stock On March 23, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one -thousandth of a share of Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) for each outstanding share of Common Stock held of record on April 3, 2023. The value of the Series B Preferred Stock issued in connection with the stock dividend was immaterial.The outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will vote together with the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, as a single class, exclusively with respect to a proposal giving the Board of Directors the authority, as it determines appropriate, to implement a reverse stock split within twelve months following the approval of such proposal by the Company’s stockholders as well as any proposal to adjourn any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of voting on the foregoing matters. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock entitled the holder to 1,000,000 votes per share and each fraction of a share of Series B Preferred Stock had a ratable number of votes. The holder of Series B Preferred Stock, as such, will not be entitled to receive dividends. At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company held on May 24, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding Common Stock. All shares of Series B Preferred Stock that did not vote in person or by proxy were redeemed in whole by the Company. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock that did vote in person or by proxy will need to request redemption from the Company at a rate of $0.001 per share in cash. As of March 31, 2024, no shareholders of Series B Preferred Stock have requested such redemption. Warrants The Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 720,000 shares of Common Stock (“2022 Warrants”) in connection with the August 2022 Public Offering, as more fully described in Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included our 2023 10-K. The 2022 Warrants did not meet the guidance for being classified as an equity instrument due to a potential price reset prompted by a change in an unrelated instrument’s conversion rate or, in the event of a fundamental transaction, settlement rights that differ from those of the underlying common stockholders. Accordingly, the 2022 Warrants are being accounted for as a derivative liability instrument. As a result of the Company’s Reverse Stock Split on August 16, 2023, refer to Note 1, the exercise price on the 2022 Warrants was reset to $6.9135 per share based on the volume-weighted average price for the stock trading days immediately following the Reverse Stock Split.The fair value of the 2022 Warrants as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was determined using both a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses multiple input variables to determine the probability of the occurrence of a price reset or a fundamental transaction and the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table includes the share price and the inputs used to estimate the fair value of the warrants:
The fair value of the derivative liability associated with the 2022 Warrants as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $2.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The change in the fair value of the derivative liability was recognized as a component of nonoperating income (expense) in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. 2022 Warrants were exercised to purchase of 23,400 shares of Common Stock at $6.9135 per share for $162 thousand in net proceeds and no 2022 Warrants were cancelled during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The portion of the derivative liability relating to the exercised warrants of $101 thousand was reclassified into stockholders’ equity based on the fair value on the date of reclassification. The remaining outstanding 2022 Warrants to purchase 603,690 shares of Common Stock are classified as a derivative liability as of March 31, 2024, are exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years following the date of issuance. On May 9, 2024, in connection with the 2024 Public Offering (as defined below), the exercise price of the 2022 Warrants was repriced again. Refer to Note 11 for additional information. The Company has outstanding equity-classified warrants to purchase 9,969 shares of Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $819.77, with expiration dates ranging from October 2023 to February 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, no equity-classified warrants were or cancelled. |
