(a subsidiary of PAVmed Inc.)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

 

Note 1 — The Company

 

Description of the Business

 

Lucid Diagnostics Inc. (“Lucid”, “Lucid Diagnostics” or the “Company”) is a commercial-stage medical diagnostics technology company focused on the millions of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (“GERD”), also known as chronic heartburn, acid reflux or simply reflux, who are at risk of developing esophageal precancer and cancer, specifically highly lethal esophageal adenocarcinoma (“EAC”). Lucid is a subsidiary of PAVmed Inc. (“PAVmed”).

 

The Company believes that its flagship product, the EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test, performed on samples collected with the EsoCheck Esophageal Cell Collection Device, constitutes the first and only commercially available diagnostic test capable of serving as a widespread testing tool for the early detection of esophageal precancer in at-risk GERD patients.

 

EsoGuard is a bisulfite-converted next-generation sequencing (NGS) DNA assay performed on surface esophageal cells collected with EsoCheck. Cell samples, including those collected with EsoCheck, as discussed below, are sent to our laboratory, for testing and analyses using our proprietary EsoGuard NGS DNA assay.

 

EsoCheck is a FDA 510(k) and CE Mark cleared noninvasive swallowable balloon capsule catheter device capable of sampling surface esophageal cells in a less than a five-minute office procedure. It consists of a vitamin pill-sized rigid plastic capsule tethered to a thin silicone catheter from which a soft silicone balloon with textured ridges emerges, when inflated, to gently swab surface esophageal cells. When vacuum suction is applied, the balloon and sampled cells are pulled into the capsule, protecting them from contamination and dilution by cells outside of the targeted region during device withdrawal. The Company believes that this proprietary Collect+Protect™ technology makes EsoCheck the only noninvasive esophageal cell collection device capable of such anatomically targeted and protected sampling.

 

EsoGuard and EsoCheck are based on patented technology licensed by Lucid from Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”). EsoGuard and EsoCheck have been developed to provide an accurate, non-invasive, patient-friendly test for the early detection of EAC and Barrett’s Esophagus (“BE”), including dysplastic BE and related precursors to EAC in patients with chronic GERD.

 

Note 2 — Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The Company’s management is required to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of the financial statements being issued. In each reporting period, including interim periods, an entity is required to assess conditions known and reasonably knowable as of the financial statement issuance date to determine whether it is probable an entity will not meet its financial obligations within one year from the financial statement issuance date. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate it is probable the entity will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

 

The Company has financed its operations principally through public and private issuances of its common stock, preferred stock, and debt. The Company is subject to all of the risks and uncertainties typically faced by medical device and diagnostic companies that devote substantially all of their efforts to the commercialization of their initial product and services and ongoing research and development activities and conducting clinical trials. The Company generated $1.0 million and $2.0 million of revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024, respectively, however the Company does not expect to generate positive cash flows from operating activities in the near future.

 

The Company incurred a net loss attributable to Lucid Diagnostics Inc common stockholders of approximately $29.1 million and had net cash flows used in operating activities of approximately $24.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had working capital of approximately $12.0 million, with such working capital inclusive of the Senior Secured Convertible Note classified as a current liability of approximately $11.2 million and approximately $24.9 million of cash.

 

The Company’s ability to continue operations 12 months beyond the issuance of the financial statements, will depend upon generating substantial revenue that is conditioned upon obtaining positive third-party reimbursement coverage for its EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test from both government and private health insurance providers, increasing revenue through contracting directly with self-insured employers, and on its ability to raise additional capital through various potential sources including equity and/or debt financings or refinancing existing debt obligations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2024, except as otherwise noted herein below.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is a consolidated subsidiary of PAVmed, which has financial control of the Company. The Company manages its operations as a single operating segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions.

 

As permitted under SEC rules, certain footnotes or other financial information normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements at such date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, and in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of routine recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial information.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any other interim period or for any other future periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related unaudited condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2024.

 

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

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are recognized when the satisfaction of the performance obligation occurs, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to collect in exchange for those services. The Company’s revenue is primarily generated by its laboratory testing services utilizing its EsoGuard Esophageal DNA tests. The services are completed upon release of a patient’s test result to the ordering healthcare provider. Revenue recognized is inclusive of both variable consideration in connection with an individual patient’s third-party insurance coverage policy and fixed consideration in connection with a contracted services arrangement with an unrelated third party legal entity. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

 

The key aspects considered by the Company include the following:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Fair Value Option (“FVO”) Election

 

Under a Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 13, 2023, the Company issued a Senior Secured Convertible Note dated March 21, 2023, referred to herein as the “March 2023 Senior Convertible Note”, which is accounted under the “fair value option election” as discussed below.

 

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

 

Alternatively, FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, (“ASC 825”) provides for the “fair value option” (“FVO”) election. In this regard, ASC 825-10-15-4 provides for the FVO election (to the extent not otherwise prohibited by ASC 825-10-15-5) to be afforded to financial instruments, wherein the financial instrument is initially measured at estimated fair value as of the transaction issue date and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value as of each reporting period balance sheet date, with changes in the estimated fair value recognized as other income (expense) in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value adjustment of the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note, including the component related to accrued interest, is presented in a single line item within other income (expense) in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations (as provided for by ASC 825-10-50-30(b)). Further, as required by ASC 825-10-45-5, to the extent a portion of the fair value adjustment is attributed to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk, such portion would be recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) (for which there was no such adjustment with respect to the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note).

 

See Note 9, Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements, with respect to the FVO election; and Note 10, Debt, for a discussion of the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note.

Reclassifications

 

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

 

Recent Accounting Standards Updates Not Yet Adopted

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 provide for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company prospectively to all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the standard to have a significant impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which require public companies disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. The guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements, unless it is impracticable. The Company does not expect the standard to have a significant impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This update modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification to conform with certain SEC amendments in Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively, and the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or S-K becomes effective. However, if the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations by June 30, 2027, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this update will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

PAVmed - Management Services Agreement

 

The Company’s daily operations are also managed in part by personnel employed by PAVmed, for which the Company incurs a service fee, referred to as the “MSA Fee”, according to the provisions of a Management Services Agreement (“MSA”) with PAVmed. The MSA does not have a termination date, but may be terminated by the Company’s board of directors. The MSA Fee is charged on a monthly basis and is subject-to periodic adjustment corresponding with changes in the services provided by PAVmed personnel to the Company, with any such change in the MSA Fee being subject to approval of the boards of directors of each of the Company and PAVmed. The respective companies’ boards of directors approved an amendment to the MSA to increase the MSA Fee to $833 per month, effective January 1, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, MSA fees were $750 per month.

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2024, in August 2024, the respective companies’ boards of directors approved the Company to enter into a ninth amendment to the MSA. Under this amendment, the monthly fee due from the Company to PAVmed was increased from $833 to $1,050, effective July 1, 2024.

 

On January 26, 2024, PAVmed elected to receive payment of $4,675 of fees and reimbursements due from Lucid, through the issuance of 3,331,771 shares of Lucid Diagnostics common stock.

 

The MSA Fee expense classification in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the periods noted is as follows:

As discussed in Note 10, Debt, the Company issued a Senior Secured Convertible Note dated March 21, 2023 with a $11.1 million face value principal (“March 2023 Senior Convertible Note”). The convertible note is accounted for under the ASC 825-10-15-4 fair value option (“FVO”) election, wherein, the financial instrument is initially measured at its issue date estimated fair value and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date.

 

The estimated fair value of the financial instruments classified within the Level 3 category was determined using both observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Unrealized gains and losses associated with liabilities within the Level 3 category include changes in fair value attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long- dated volatilities) inputs.

 

¹ There were no transfers between the respective Levels during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Note 9 — Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements - continued

 

The estimated fair value of the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note as of each of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were computed using a Monte Carlo simulation of the present value of its cash flows using a synthetic credit rating analysis and a required rate-of-return, using the following assumptions:

 

		March 2023 Senior Convertible Note: June 30, 2024				March 2023 Senior Convertible Note: December 31, 2023
Fair Value		$	11,200			$	13,950
Face value principal payable		$	9,811			$	11,019
Required rate of return			10.00	%			10.00	%
Conversion Price		$	5.00			$	5.00
Value of common stock		$	0.82			$	1.41
Expected term (years)			0.72				1.22
Volatility			60.00	%			60.00	%
Risk free rate			5.09	%			4.56	%
Dividend yield			—	%			—	%

 

The estimated fair values reported utilized the Company’s common stock price along with certain Level 3 inputs (as discussed in the table above), in the development of Monte Carlo simulation models, discounted cash flow analyses, and /or Black-Scholes valuation models. The estimated fair values are subjective and are affected by changes in inputs to the valuation models and analyses, including the Company’s common stock price, the Company’s dividend yield, the risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields, and certain other Level-3 inputs including, assumptions regarding the estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s common stock price and the volatility of similar entities within the medical device industry. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the estimated fair values.

Note 10 — Debt - continued

 

March 2023 Senior Secured Convertible Note

 

Lucid Diagnostics entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) dated March 13, 2023, with an accredited institutional investor (“Investor”, “Lender”, and /or “Holder”), wherein Lucid agreed to sell, and the Investor agreed to purchase, an aggregate of $11.1 million face value principal of debt.

 

Under the SPA, Lucid issued in a registered direct offering under its effective shelf registration statement a Senior Secured Convertible Note dated March 21, 2023, referred to herein as the “March 2023 Senior Convertible Note”, with such note having a $11.1 million face value principal, a 7.875% annual stated interest rate, a contractual conversion price of $5.00 per share of the Company’s common stock (subject to standard adjustments in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction), and a contractual maturity date of March 21, 2025. The March 2023 Senior Convertible Note may be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at the Holder’s election.

 

The March 2023 Senior Convertible Note proceeds were $9.925 million after deducting a $1.186 million lender fee and offering costs. The lender fee and offering costs were recognized as of the March 21, 2023 issue date as a current period expense in other income (expense) in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

During the period from March 21, 2023 to September 20, 2023, the Company was required to pay interest expense only (on the $11.1 million face value principal), at 7.875% per annum, computed on a 360 day year. The Company paid cash interest expense of $219 and $243 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

 

Commencing September 21, 2023, and then on each of the successive first and tenth trading day of each month thereafter through to and including March 14, 2025 (each referred to as an “Installment Date”); and on the March 21, 2025 maturity date, the Company will be required to make a principal repayment of $292 together with accrued interest thereon, with such 38 payments referred to herein as the “Installment Amount”, settled in shares of common stock of the Company, subject to customary equity conditions, including minimum share price and volume thresholds, or at the election of the Company, in cash, in whole or in part.

 

In addition to the Installment Amount repayments, the Holder may elect to accelerate the conversion of future Installment Amount repayments, and interest thereon, subject to certain restrictions, as defined, utilizing the then current conversion price of the most recent Installment Date conversion price.

 

The payment of all amounts due and payable under this senior convertible note is guaranteed by all of Lucid Diagnostics’ subsidiaries; and the obligations under this senior convertible note are secured by all of the assets of Lucid Diagnostics and its subsidiaries.

 

Lucid is subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants regarding the rank of the note, along with the incurrence of further indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness and the making of investments, the payment of cash in respect of dividends, distributions or redemptions, the transfer of assets, the maturity of other indebtedness, and transactions with affiliates, among other customary matters.

 

Lucid is subject to financial covenants requiring: (i) a minimum of $5.0 million of available cash at all times; (ii) the ratio of (a) the outstanding principal amount of the total senior convertible notes outstanding, accrued and unpaid interest thereon and accrued and unpaid late charges to (b) the Company’s average market capitalization over the prior ten trading days, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter commencing with September 30, 2023, to not exceed 30%; and (iii) the Company’s market capitalization to at no time be less than $30 million. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance, and as of the date hereof, the Company is in compliance, with the Financial Tests.

 

The March 2023 Senior Convertible Note installment payments may be made in shares of Lucid Diagnostics common stock at a conversion price that is the lower of the contractual conversion price and 82.5% of the two lowest VWAPs during the last 10 trading days preceding the date of conversion, subject to a conversion price floor of $0.30. The notes are also subject to certain provisions that may require redemption upon the occurrence of an event of default, a change of control, or certain equity issuances.

 

In the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024, approximately $1,125 and $1,208, respectively, of principal repayments along with approximately $215 and $652, respectively, of interest expense thereon, were settled through the issuance of 2,117,883 and 2,661,181 shares, respectively, of common stock of the Company, with such shares having a fair value of approximately $1,854 and $2,541, respectively, (with such fair value measured as the respective conversion date quoted closing price of the common stock of the Company). The conversions resulted in debt extinguishment losses of $512 and $681 in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Subsequent to June 30, 2024, as of August 8, 2024, approximately $375 of principal repayments along with approximately $80 of interest expense thereon, were settled through the issuance of 747,909 shares of common stock of the Company, with such shares having a fair value of approximately $619 (with such fair value measured as the respective conversion date quoted closing price of the common stock of the Company).

Note 12 — Stockholders’ Equity

 

Series B Preferred Stock Offering and Exchange

 

On March 13, 2024, the Company issued 44,285 shares of newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), to accredited investors at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $18.1 million. In connection with the offering, 100% of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock were exchanged for shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the Series B Preferred Stock Offering and Exchange. As a result, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series A-1 Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

 

In connection with the issuance, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series B Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Designation”). The key terms of the Series B Preferred Stock are as follows:

 

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock, equal to the number of Series B Preferred Shares to be converted, multiplied by the stated value of $1,000 (the “Stated Value”), divided by the conversion price in effect at the time of the conversion. The initial conversion price is $1.2444, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at any time at the option of the holder from and after the six-month anniversary of its issuance, and automatically converts into shares of our common stock on March 13, 2026, the second anniversary of its issuance at a conversion price of $1.2444, and the Series B Preferred Stock is a voting security (subject to applicable ownership limitations). In addition, the Series B Preferred Stock issued in exchange for Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock may be converted, at the election of the Company at any time after the six-month anniversary of the issuance of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, upon written notice given to the holders of such shares, if the volume weight average price of our common stock has been at least $8.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions) on 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days ending within 15 trading days prior to the date on which such notice is given (subject to certain limited exceptions) (a “VWAP-Based Mandatory Conversion”).

 

The Series B Preferred Stock will be senior to the Common Stock and any other class of the Company’s capital stock that is not by its terms senior to or pari passu with the Series B Preferred Stock.

 

The holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends payable as follows: (i) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 20% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock then held by such Holder on March 13, 2025, and (ii) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 20% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock then held by such Holder on March 13, 2026. A holder that voluntarily converts its Series B Preferred Stock prior to March 13, 2025 or March 13, 2026, as the case may be, will not receive the dividend that accrues on such date with respect to such converted Series B Preferred Stock. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock also will be entitled to dividends equal, on an as-if-converted to shares of Common Stock basis, to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as, and if such dividends are paid on shares of the Common Stock.

 

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (or any Deemed Liquidation Event as defined in the Certificate of Designation), the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Value, plus any dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series B Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such event.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock is a voting security (subject to applicable ownership limitations).

 

The Company will not effect any conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, and a holder will not have the right to receive dividends or convert any portion of the Series B Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the receipt of dividends or the conversion, the holder (together with such holder’s affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of the holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (or, upon election of the holder, 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock).

 

The Company and the investors in the offering also executed a registration rights agreement (the “Series B Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Series B Preferred Stock. The Company filed such registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC (file number 333-280650), which filing became effective on July 18, 2024, covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Series B and Series B-1 Preferred Stock.

The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of shares in such offering were $11.6 million.

 

Series A Preferred Stock Offering

The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of shares in such offering were $13.6 million.

 

As noted above, on March 13, 2024, 100% of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock were exchanged for shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the Series B Preferred Stock Offering and Exchange. As a result, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

 

Series A-1 Preferred Stock Offering

 

On October 17, 2023, the Company issued 5,000 shares of newly designated Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”).

The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of shares in such offering were $5.0 million.

 

On March 13, 2024, the Company issued an additional 5,670 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

 

As noted above, on March 13, 2024, 100% of the then-outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock were exchanged for shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the Series B Preferred Stock Offering and Exchange. As a result, no shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

 

Deemed Dividend on Series A and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock Exchange Offer

 

The fair value of the consideration given in the form of the issue of 44,285 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, with such fair value recognized as the carrying value of such issued shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as compared to both the newly issued Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (fair value of $12,495) and the carrying value of the extinguished Series A and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (carrying value of $24,294), resulting in an excess of fair value of $7.5 million recognized as a deemed dividend charged to accumulated deficit in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet on March 13, 2024, with such deemed dividend included as a component of net loss attributable to common stockholders, summarized as follows:

 

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Issuance and Series A/A-1 Exchange Offer		March 13, 2024
Fair Value - 44,285 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued		$	44,285
Less: Fair value related to newly issued Series B Preferred Stock (of 12,495 shares)			(12,495	)

Lucid Diagnostics Common Stock

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2024, in July 2024, the Company received shareholder approval to amend its certificate of incorporation, as amended, to increase the total number of shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue by 100 million shares from 200 million shares to 300 million shares. An amendment effecting such change was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on July 23, 2024.

 

Additionally and also subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved, for purposes of Listing Rule 5635 of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock under the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) sold by the Company in a private offering in March 2024 and the Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B-1 Preferred Stock”) sold by the Company in a private offering in May 2024. Each of the Series B and Series B-1 Preferred Stock is a voting security. On any matter to be acted upon or considered by the stockholders of the Company, each holder shall be entitled to vote on an “as converted” basis after applying the beneficial ownership limitations described in the Series B and B-1 Preferred Stock Offering above.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 49,344,945 and 42,329,864 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, PAVmed holds 31,302,444 shares and maintains a controlling financial and voting interest in the Company.

 

On January 26, 2024, PAVmed elected to receive payment of $4,675 of fees and reimbursements due from Lucid, through the issuance of 3,331,771 shares of Lucid Diagnostics common stock. Substantially all of such shares were distributed by PAVmed to its shareholders on February 15, 2024.

 

On June 21, 2024, the Company received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq stating that, for the prior 30 consecutive business days (through June 20, 2024), the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock had been below the minimum of $1 per share required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notification letter stated that the Company would be afforded 180 calendar days (until December 18, 2024) to regain compliance, and that the Company could be eligible for additional time. The Company intends to consider all available options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing standards.

 

Committed Equity Facility and ATM Facility

 

On March 28, 2022, the Company entered into a committed equity facility with an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald (“Cantor”). Under the terms of the committed equity facility, Cantor has committed to purchase up to $50 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time at the request of the Company. While there are distinct differences, the facility is structured similarly to a traditional at-the-market equity facility, insofar as it allows the Company to raise primary equity capital on a periodic basis at prices based on the existing market price. Cumulatively a total of 680,263 shares of Lucid Diagnostics’ common stock were issued for net proceeds of approximately $1.8 million, after a 4% discount, as of June 30, 2024.

 

In November 2022, the Company entered into an “at-the-market offering” (“ATM”) for up to $6.5 million of its common stock that may be offered and sold under a Controlled Equity Offering Agreement between the Company and Cantor. Cumulatively a total of 230,068 shares of Lucid Diagnostics’ common stock were issued through the at-the-market equity facility for net proceeds of approximately $0.3 million, after payments of 3% commissions, as of June 30, 2024.

 

Note 13 — Net Loss Per Share

 

The Net loss per share basic and diluted for the respective periods indicated is as follows:

Net loss per share - basic and diluted		$	(0.23	)		$	(0.27	)		$	(0.62	)		$	(0.67	)

 

(1)

- Convertible Preferred Stock would potentially be considered a participating security under the two-class method of calculating net loss per share. However, the Company has incurred net losses to-date, and as such holders are not contractually obligated to share in the losses, there is no impact on the Company’s net loss per share calculation for the periods indicated.

 

Basic weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 include the shares of the Company issued and outstanding during such periods, each on a weighted average basis. The basic weighted average number of shares common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalent incremental shares, while diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding includes such incremental shares. However, as the Company was in a loss position for all years presented, basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same, as the inclusion of the incremental shares would be anti-dilutive. The common stock equivalents excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding are as follows:

 

		June 30,
		2024				2023
Stock options			8,744,626				4,949,962
Unvested restricted stock awards			3,897,440				1,872,100
Preferred stock			51,682,378				13,695,850
Total			64,324,444				20,517,912

Overview

 

We are a commercial-stage medical diagnostics technology company focused on the millions of patients who are at risk of developing esophageal precancer and cancer, specifically highly lethal esophageal adenocarcinoma (“EAC”).

 

We believe that our flagship product, the EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test, performed on samples collected with the EsoCheck Esophageal Cell Collection Device, constitutes the first and only commercially available diagnostic test capable of serving as a widespread tool for the early detection of esophageal precancer, including Barrett’s Esophagus (“BE”), in at-risk patients. Early detection of esophageal precancer allows patients to undergo appropriate monitoring and treatment, as indicated by clinical practice guidelines, in an effort to prevent progression to esophageal cancer.

 

EsoGuard is a bisulfite-converted targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) DNA assay performed on surface esophageal cells collected with EsoCheck. It quantifies methylation at 31 sites on two genes, Vimentin (VIM) and Cyclin A1 (CCNA1). Analytical validation tests of EsoGuard demonstrated approximately 97% analytical sensitivity, 95% analytical specificity, approximately 98% analytical accuracy, and 100% inter-assay and intra-assay precision. Two independent clinical validation case control studies funded by the National Institute of Health were performed using upper endoscopy with biopsies as the diagnostic comparator and confirmed EsoGuard accurately identifies BE. A pooled analysis of both studies demonstrated 84% sensitivity (95% confidence interval (“CI”) 76-90%), for detection of BE, and 86% specificity (95% CI 81-91%). Positive predictive value (“PPV”) and negative predictive value (“NPV”) were calculated using a BE prevalence of 10.6% published in a meta-analysis of U.S patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (“GERD”). This resulted in a PPV of approximately 42% and NPV of around 98%.

 

EsoCheck is an FDA 510(k) and CE Mark cleared noninvasive swallowable balloon capsule catheter device capable of sampling surface esophageal cells in a less than five-minute office procedure. It consists of a vitamin pill-sized rigid plastic capsule tethered to a thin silicone catheter from which a soft silicone balloon with textured ridges emerges to gently swab surface esophageal cells. When vacuum suction is applied, the balloon and sampled cells are pulled into the capsule, protecting them from contamination and dilution by cells outside of the targeted region during device withdrawal. We believe this proprietary Collect+Protect™ technology makes EsoCheck the only noninvasive esophageal cell collection device capable of such anatomically targeted and protected sampling.

 

EsoGuard and EsoCheck are based on patented technology licensed by Lucid from Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”). EsoGuard and EsoCheck have been developed to provide an accurate, non-invasive, patient-friendly test for the early detection of EAC and BE, including dysplastic BE and related precursors to EAC in patients with GERD, commonly known as chronic heartburn, acid reflux, or just reflux.

Intercompany Agreements with PAVmed

 

On August 6, 2024, PAVmed and the Company entered into a ninth amendment to the management services agreement between PAVmed and Lucid (“MSA”) to increase the monthly fee thereunder from $0.83 million per month to $1.05 million per month, effective as of July 1, 2024.

 

On March 22, 2024, PAVmed and the Company entered into an eighth amendment to the MSA to increase the monthly fee thereunder from $0.75 million per month to $0.83 million per month, effective as of January 1, 2024. The amendment also reset the maximum number of shares issuable under the agreement to 19.99% of the shares outstanding as of the date of the amendment.

 

On January 26, 2024, in accordance with the MSA and the payroll, benefits and expense reimbursement agreement between PAVmed and Lucid (“PBERA”), PAVmed elected to receive payment of approximately $4.7 million of fees and reimbursements accrued under the MSA and the PBERA through the issuance of 3,331,771 shares of Lucid’s common stock.

 

FDA Enforcement Discretion

 

In April 2024, FDA published the final rule under which FDA intends to phase out its general enforcement discretion approach for LDTs so that IVDs manufactured by a laboratory would generally fall under the same enforcement approach as other IVDs (the proposed rule was published in October 2023). In the final rule, FDA has expanded the categories of LDTs that will be eligible for continued enforcement discretion, which categories include LDTs first marketed prior to May 6, 2024 and LDTs approved by New York State’s Clinical Laboratory Evaluation Program (NYS CLEP). As EsoGuard was marketed prior to the cutoff date, and is also NYS CLEP-approved, EsoGuard will remain under continued enforcement discretion from FDA’s premarket review requirements and quality systems requirements (except for record-keeping). As such, there is no immediate impact from the final rule on Lucid’s regulatory strategy.

 

Appointment of Dennis Matheis to Board of Directors

 

On May 6, 2024, the board of directors of the Company appointed Dennis Matheis as a Class C director of the Company (and he was subsequently re-elected to the board, together with the incumbent Class C directors of the Company, at the Company’s annual shareholders meeting held on July 23, 2024). In connection with his joining the board, Mr. Matheis received a grant of an option to acquire 241,500 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2018 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan in accordance with the Company’s existing compensation policy for non-employee directors.

Financing

 

Series B and Series B-1 Preferred Stock Offerings

 

On March 13, 2024, we entered into subscription agreements (each, a “Series B Subscription Agreement”) and exchange agreements (each, a “Series B Exchange Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (collectively, the “Series B Investors”), which agreements provided for (i) the sale to the Series B Investors of 12,495 shares of our newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, and (ii) the exchange by the Series B Investors of 13,625 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and 10,670 shares of our Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”), held by them for 31,790 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Series B Offering and Exchange”). Prior to the execution of the Series B Subscription Agreements and the Series B Exchange Agreements, we entered into subscription agreements with certain of the Series B Investors providing for the sale to such investors of 5,670 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, which shares the investors immediately agreed to exchange for shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series B Exchange Agreements (and are included in the 10,670 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock set forth above). Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 and a conversion price of $1.2444. The terms of the Series B Preferred Stock also include a one times preference on liquidation and a right to receive dividends equal to 20% of the number of shares of our common stock into which such Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, payable on the one-year and two-year anniversary of the issuance date. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock also will be entitled to dividends equal, on an as-if-converted to shares of common stock basis, to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the common stock when, as, and if such dividends are paid on shares of the common stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is a voting security. The aggregate gross proceeds of these transactions were $18.16 million (inclusive of $5.67 million of aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock that was immediately exchanged for Series B Preferred Stock in the transactions).

 

As a result of 100% of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock being exchanged for shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the Series B Offering and Exchange, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series A-1 Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

 

On May 6, 2024, the Company issued approximately 11,634 shares of newly designated Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B-1 Preferred Stock”). The terms of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock are substantially identical to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, except that the Series B-1 Preferred Stock has a conversion price of $0.7228. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of shares in such offering were $11.6 million.

 

The aggregate gross proceeds from the issuances of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series B-1 Preferred Stock were approximately $29.8 million. As a result, the Company has concluded its Board-approved offering of $30 million of preferred stock.

Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

Revenue

 

The Company recognized revenue resulting from the delivery of patient EsoGuard test results when the Company considered the collection of such consideration to be probable to the extent that it is unconstrained.

 

Cost of revenue

 

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

 

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

 

Sales and marketing expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for employees engaged in sales, sales support and marketing activities, as well as the portion of the MSA Fee (as defined in Note 5, Related Party Transactions, to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements) allocated to sales and marketing expenses, which are principally costs related to PAVmed employees who are performing services for the Company. We anticipate our sales and marketing expenses will increase in the future, to the extent we expand our commercial sales and marketing operations as resources permit and insurance reimbursement coverage for our EsoGuard test expands.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of professional fees for accounting, tax, audit and legal services (including those fees incurred as a result of our being a public company), consulting fees, expenses associated with obtaining and maintaining patents within our intellectual property portfolio, and certain employee costs, along with the portion of the MSA Fee allocated to general and administrative expenses.

 

We anticipate our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future to the extent our business operations grow. Furthermore, we anticipate continued expenses related to being a public company, including fees and expenses for audit, legal, regulatory, tax-related services, insurance premiums and investor relations costs associated with maintaining compliance as a public company.

 

Research and development expenses

 

Research and development expenses are recognized in the period they are incurred and consist principally of internal and external expenses incurred for the development of our technologies and conducting clinical trials, including:

 

	●	costs associated with regulatory filings;
	●	patent license fees;
	●	cost of laboratory supplies and acquiring, developing, and manufacturing preclinical prototypes; and
	●	MSA Fee allocated to research and development.

 

We plan to incur research and development expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of our existing products as well as new innovations. Our research and development activities, including our clinical trials, are focused principally on facilitating insurer reimbursement, encouraging physician adoption and developing product improvements or extending the utility of the lead products in our pipeline, including EsoCheck and EsoGuard.

 

Other Income and Expense, net

 

Other income and expense, net, consists principally of changes in fair value of our convertible note and losses on extinguishment of debt upon repayment of such convertible note.

 

Presentation of Dollar Amounts

 

All dollar amounts in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are presented as dollars in millions, except for share and per share amounts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our current operational activities are principally focused on the commercialization of EsoGuard. We are pursuing commercialization across multiple sales channels, including: the communication to and education of medical practitioners and clinicians regarding EsoGuard; the establishment of Lucid Test Centers for the collection of cell samples using EsoCheck; use of our mobile testing unit; ongoing #CheckYourFoodTube testing days; and our direct contracting strategic initiative. Additionally, we are developing expanded clinical evidence to support insurance reimbursement adoption by government and private insurers. Further, as resources permit, the Company also intends to pursue development of other products and services.

 

Our ability to generate revenue depends upon our ability to successfully advance the commercialization of EsoGuard, including significantly expanding insurance reimbursement coverage, while also completing the clinical studies, product and service development, and necessary regulatory approval thereof. There are no assurances, however, we will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources required for the long-term commercialization and development of our products and services.

 

We are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties typically faced by medical device and diagnostic companies that devote substantially all of their efforts to the commercialization of their initial product and services and ongoing research and development activities and conducting clinical trials. We experienced a net loss of approximately $21.6 million and used approximately $24.1 million of cash in operations during the six month period ended June 30, 2024. Financing activities provided $30.2 million of cash during the six month period ended June 30, 2024. We ended the quarter with cash on-hand of $24.9 million as of June 30, 2024. We expect to continue to experience recurring losses and negative cash flow from operations, and will continue to fund our operations with debt and/or equity financing transactions, including current obligations on our existing convertible debt which in accordance with management’s plans may include conversions to equity and refinancing our existing debt obligations to extend the maturity date. The Company’s ability to continue operations 12 months beyond the issuance of the financial statements will depend upon generating substantial revenue that is conditioned on obtaining positive third-party reimbursement coverage for its EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test from both government and private health insurance providers, increasing revenue through contracting directly with self-insured employers, and on raising additional capital through various potential sources including equity and/or debt financings or refinancing existing debt obligations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

Preferred Stock Offerings

 

On March 13, 2024, we entered into the Series B Subscription Agreements and Series B Exchange Agreements with the Series B Investors, which agreements provided for (i) the sale to the Series B Investors of 12,495 shares of our newly designated Series B Preferred Stock, at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, and (ii) the exchange by the Series B Investors of 13,625 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and 10,670 shares of our Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by them for 31,790 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Prior to the execution of the Series B Subscription Agreements and the Series B Exchange Agreements, we entered into subscription agreements with certain of the Series B Investors providing for the sale to such investors of 5,670 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, which shares the investors immediately agreed to exchange for shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series B Exchange Agreements (and are included in the 10,670 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock set forth above). Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 and a conversion price of $1.2444. The terms of the Series B Preferred Stock also include a one times preference on liquidation and a right to receive dividends equal to 20% of the number of shares of our common stock into which such Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, payable on the one-year and two-year anniversary of the issuance date. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock also will be entitled to dividends equal, on an as-if-converted to shares of common stock basis, to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the common stock when, as, and if such dividends are paid on shares of the common stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is a voting security. The aggregate gross proceeds of these transactions were $18.16 million (inclusive of $5.67 million of aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock that was immediately exchanged for Series B Preferred Stock in the transactions).

 

As a result of 100% of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock being exchanged for shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the Series B Offering and Exchange, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series A-1 Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

 

On May 6, 2024, the Company issued approximately 11,634 shares of newly designated Series B-1 Preferred Stock. The terms of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock are substantially identical to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, except that the Series B-1 Preferred Stock has a conversion price of $0.7228. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of shares in such offering were $11.6 million.

 

Private Placement - Securities Purchase Agreement

 

Effective as of March 13, 2023, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with an accredited institutional investor, pursuant to which we agreed to sell, and the investor agreed to purchase the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note with a face value principal of $11.1 million. We issued the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note on March 21, 2023 pursuant to the SPA. The March 2023 Senior Convertible Note proceeds were $9.925 million after deducting a $1.186 million lender fee and offering costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - continued

 

The March 2023 Senior Convertible Note has a 7.875% annual stated interest rate, a contractual conversion price of $5.00 per share of the Company’s common stock (subject to standard adjustments in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction), and a contractual maturity date of the two-year anniversary of the date of issuance. The principal of the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note and accrued interest thereon is convertible at the option of the holder into the Company’s common stock at the contractual conversion price. In addition, the principal of the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note amortizes over 18 months commencing six months after its issuance. The amortization payments and accrued interest on the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note are payable in shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to the satisfaction of certain customary equity conditions and except for interest payable prior to September 21, 2023), at prices based on the then current market price.

 

Under the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note, the Company is subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness and the making of investments, the payment of cash in respect of dividends, distributions or redemptions, the transfer of assets, the maturity of other indebtedness, and transactions with affiliates, among other customary matters. Under the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note, the Company is also subject to financial covenants requiring that (i) the amount of the Company’s available cash shall equal or exceed $5.0 million at all times, (ii) the ratio of (a) the outstanding principal amount of the notes issued under the SPA, accrued and unpaid interest thereon and accrued and unpaid late charges, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter commencing with September 30, 2023 to (b) the Company’s average market capitalization over the prior ten trading days, shall not exceed 30%, and (iii) the Company’s market capitalization shall at no time be less than $30 million (the “Financial Tests”). As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance, and as of the date hereof, the Company is in compliance, with the Financial Tests.

 

During the six month period ended June 30, 2024, approximately $1.2 million of principal repayments along with approximately $0.7 million of interest expense thereon, were settled through the issuance of 2,661,181 shares of common stock of the Company, with such shares having a fair value of approximately $2.5 million (with such fair value measured as the respective conversion date quoted closing price of the common stock of the Company).

 

Committed Equity Facility and ATM Facility

 

In March 2022, we entered into a committed equity facility with a Cantor affiliate. Under the terms of the committed equity facility, the Cantor affiliate has committed to purchase up to $50 million of our common stock from time to time at our request. While there are distinct differences, the committed equity facility is structured similarly to a traditional at-the-market equity facility, insofar as it allows us to raise primary equity capital on a periodic basis at prices based on the existing market price. Cumulatively, a total of 680,263 shares of common stock of the Company were issued for net proceeds of approximately $1.8 million, after a 4% discount, as of June 30, 2024.

 

In November 2022, Lucid Diagnostics also entered into an “at-the-market offering” for up to $6.5 million of its common stock that may be offered and sold under a Controlled Equity Offering Agreement between Lucid Diagnostics and Cantor. Cumulatively, a total of 230,068 shares of the Company were issued through our at-the-market equity facility for net proceeds of approximately $0.3 million, after payment of 3% commissions, as of June 30, 2024.

 

Intercompany Agreements with PAVmed

 

From our inception in May 2018 through our initial public offering in October 2021, our operations were funded by PAVmed providing working capital cash advances and by PAVmed paying certain operating expenses on our behalf. Additionally, our daily operations have been and continue to be conducted in part by personnel employed by PAVmed, for which we incur an MSA Fee expense. The MSA Fee is charged on a monthly basis and is subject-to periodic adjustment corresponding with changes in the services provided by PAVmed personnel to the Company, with any such change in the MSA Fee being subject to approval of the Company and PAVmed boards of directors. In this regard, in January 2024, the respective companies’ boards of directors approved an eighth amendment to the MSA to increase the MSA Fee to $0.83 million per month, effective January 1, 2024. The eighth amendment to the MSA was executed on March 22, 2024. Pursuant to the MSA, as amended by the eighth amendment, the parties agreed PAVmed may elect to receive payment of the monthly MSA Fee in cash or in shares of our common stock, with such shares valued at the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) during the final ten trading days of the applicable month (subject to a floor price of $0.70 per share). However, in no event will PAVmed be entitled to receive under the MSA, as amended, from and after the date of the eighth amendment to the MSA, more than 9,644,135 shares of our common stock (representing 19.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of immediately prior to the execution of the eighth amendment).

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2024, in August 2024, the respective companies’ boards of directors approved the Company to enter into a ninth amendment to the MSA. Under this amendment, the monthly fee due from the Company to PAVmed was increased from $0.83 million to $1.05 million, effective July 1, 2024.

 

31

 

As of June 30, 2024, we had a Due To: PAVmed Inc. payment obligation liability of approximately $0.3 million, which liability is primarily comprised of our obligations under a payroll and benefit expense reimbursement agreement (the “PBERA”) and the MSA, as well other operating expenses paid by PAVmed on our behalf. See our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements Note 5, Related Party Transactions. In accordance with the MSA and the PBERA, on January 26, 2024, PAVmed elected to receive payment of approximately $4.7 million of fees and reimbursements accrued under the MSA and the PBERA through the issuance of 3,331,771 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reporting in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgements. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be appropriate under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies are as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2024. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of such date to provide reasonable assurance the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes to Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

In the ordinary course of our business, particularly as it begins commercialization of its products, the Company may be subject to certain other legal actions and claims, including product liability, consumer, commercial, tax and governmental matters, which may arise from time to time. The Company is not aware of any such pending legal or other proceedings that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company. Notwithstanding, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and an unfavorable outcome could include monetary damages, and excessive verdicts can result from litigation, and as such, could result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and /or cash flows. Additionally, although the Company has specific insurance for certain potential risks, the Company may in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims which may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and /or cash flows.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

On May 29, 2024, the Company approved the issuance to an investor relations firm it had engaged 150,000 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock. The offer and sale of the shares of common stock is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as a transaction not involving a public offering.

 

Except as set forth above and as previously disclosed in our current reports on Form 8-K filed prior to the date of this Form 10-Q and in the Annual Report, we did not sell any unregistered securities or repurchase any of our securities during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

 

See Part I, Item 2 under the caption “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a description of limitations on the payment of dividends.

 

Item 5. Other Information

 

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as those terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
The Company	Note 1 — The Company   Description of the Business   Lucid Diagnostics Inc. (“Lucid”, “Lucid Diagnostics” or the “Company”) is a commercial-stage medical diagnostics technology company focused on the millions of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (“GERD”), also known as chronic heartburn, acid reflux or simply reflux, who are at risk of developing esophageal precancer and cancer, specifically highly lethal esophageal adenocarcinoma (“EAC”). Lucid is a subsidiary of PAVmed Inc. (“PAVmed”).   The Company believes that its flagship product, the EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test, performed on samples collected with the EsoCheck Esophageal Cell Collection Device, constitutes the first and only commercially available diagnostic test capable of serving as a widespread testing tool for the early detection of esophageal precancer in at-risk GERD patients.   EsoGuard is a bisulfite-converted next-generation sequencing (NGS) DNA assay performed on surface esophageal cells collected with EsoCheck. Cell samples, including those collected with EsoCheck, as discussed below, are sent to our laboratory, for testing and analyses using our proprietary EsoGuard NGS DNA assay.   EsoCheck is a FDA 510(k) and CE Mark cleared noninvasive swallowable balloon capsule catheter device capable of sampling surface esophageal cells in a less than a five-minute office procedure. It consists of a vitamin pill-sized rigid plastic capsule tethered to a thin silicone catheter from which a soft silicone balloon with textured ridges emerges, when inflated, to gently swab surface esophageal cells. When vacuum suction is applied, the balloon and sampled cells are pulled into the capsule, protecting them from contamination and dilution by cells outside of the targeted region during device withdrawal. The Company believes that this proprietary Collect+Protect™ technology makes EsoCheck the only noninvasive esophageal cell collection device capable of such anatomically targeted and protected sampling.   EsoGuard and EsoCheck are based on patented technology licensed by Lucid from Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”). EsoGuard and EsoCheck have been developed to provide an accurate, non-invasive, patient-friendly test for the early detection of EAC and Barrett’s Esophagus (“BE”), including dysplastic BE and related precursors to EAC in patients with chronic GERD.

Liquidity and Going Concern	6 Months Ended

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Liquidity and Going Concern	Note 2 — Liquidity and Going Concern   The Company’s management is required to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of the financial statements being issued. In each reporting period, including interim periods, an entity is required to assess conditions known and reasonably knowable as of the financial statement issuance date to determine whether it is probable an entity will not meet its financial obligations within one year from the financial statement issuance date. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate it is probable the entity will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.   The Company has financed its operations principally through public and private issuances of its common stock, preferred stock, and debt. The Company is subject to all of the risks and uncertainties typically faced by medical device and diagnostic companies that devote substantially all of their efforts to the commercialization of their initial product and services and ongoing research and development activities and conducting clinical trials. The Company generated $1.0 million and $2.0 million of revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024, respectively, however the Company does not expect to generate positive cash flows from operating activities in the near future.   The Company incurred a net loss attributable to Lucid Diagnostics Inc common stockholders of approximately $29.1 million and had net cash flows used in operating activities of approximately $24.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had working capital of approximately $12.0 million, with such working capital inclusive of the Senior Secured Convertible Note classified as a current liability of approximately $11.2 million and approximately $24.9 million of cash.   The Company’s ability to continue operations 12 months beyond the issuance of the financial statements, will depend upon generating substantial revenue that is conditioned upon obtaining positive third-party reimbursement coverage for its EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test from both government and private health insurance providers, increasing revenue through contracting directly with self-insured employers, and on its ability to raise additional capital through various potential sources including equity and/or debt financings or refinancing existing debt obligations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	6 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies   Significant Accounting Policies   The Company’s significant accounting policies are as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2024, except as otherwise noted herein below.   Basis of Presentation   The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is a consolidated subsidiary of PAVmed, which has financial control of the Company. The Company manages its operations as a single operating segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions.   As permitted under SEC rules, certain footnotes or other financial information normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements at such date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, and in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of routine recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial information.   The unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any other interim period or for any other future periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related unaudited condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2024.   All amounts in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto are presented in thousands of dollars, if not otherwise noted as being presented in millions of dollars, except for shares and per share amounts.   Use of Estimates   In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and the determination of corresponding carrying value reserves, if any, and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent losses, as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include those related to the estimated fair value of debt obligations, stock-based equity awards and intangible assets. Other significant estimates include the estimated incremental borrowing rate, the provision or benefit for income taxes and the corresponding valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Additionally, management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Due to inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in these estimates.   Revenue Recognition   Revenues are recognized when the satisfaction of the performance obligation occurs, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to collect in exchange for those services. The Company’s revenue is primarily generated by its laboratory testing services utilizing its EsoGuard Esophageal DNA tests. The services are completed upon release of a patient’s test result to the ordering healthcare provider. Revenue recognized is inclusive of both variable consideration in connection with an individual patient’s third-party insurance coverage policy and fixed consideration in connection with a contracted services arrangement with an unrelated third party legal entity. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.     Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued   The key aspects considered by the Company include the following:   Contracts—The Company’s customer is primarily the patient, but the Company does not enter into a formal reimbursement contract with a patient. The Company establishes a contract with a patient in accordance with other customary business practices, which is the point in time an order is received from a provider and a patient specimen has been returned to the laboratory for testing. Payment terms are a function of a patient’s existing insurance benefits, including the impact of coverage decisions with Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and applicable reimbursement contracts established between the Company and payers. However, when a patient is considered self-pay, the Company requires payment from the patient prior to the commencement of the Company’s performance obligations. The Company’s consideration can be deemed variable or fixed depending on the structure of specific payer contracts, and the Company considers collection of such consideration to be probable to the extent that it is unconstrained.   Performance obligations—A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) to the customer. The Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, which is satisfied upon rendering of services, which culminates in the release of a patient’s test result to the ordering healthcare provider. The Company elects the practical expedient related to the disclosure of unsatisfied performance obligations, as the duration of time between providing testing supplies, the receipt of a sample, and the release of a test result to the ordering healthcare provider is far less than one year.   Transaction price—The transaction price is the amount of consideration that the Company expects to collect in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example, some sales taxes). The consideration expected to be collected from a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both.   If the consideration derived from the contracts is deemed to be variable, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the promised goods or services. The Company limits the amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price to the unconstrained portion of such consideration. In other words, the Company recognizes revenue up to the amount of variable consideration that is not subject to a significant reversal until additional information is obtained or the uncertainty associated with the additional payments or refunds is subsequently resolved.   When the Company does not have significant historical experience or that experience has limited predictive value, the constraint over estimates of variable consideration may result in no revenue being recognized upon delivery of patient EsoGuard test results to the ordering healthcare provider. As such, the Company recognizes revenue up to the amount of variable consideration not subject to a significant reversal until additional information is obtained or the uncertainty associated with additional payments or refunds, if any, is subsequently resolved. Differences between original estimates and subsequent revisions, including final settlements, represent changes in estimated expected variable consideration, with the change in estimate recognized in the period of such revised estimate. With respect to a contracted service arrangement, the fixed consideration revenue is recognized on an as-billed basis upon delivery of the laboratory test report with realization of such fixed consideration deemed probable based upon actual historical experience.   Allocate transaction price—The transaction price is allocated entirely to the performance obligation contained within the contract with a customer on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or service.   Practical Expedients—The Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component, as at contract inception, the Company expects the collection cycle to be one year or less.   Fair Value Option (“FVO”) Election   Under a Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 13, 2023, the Company issued a Senior Secured Convertible Note dated March 21, 2023, referred to herein as the “March 2023 Senior Convertible Note”, which is accounted under the “fair value option election” as discussed below.   Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Derivative and Hedging, (“ASC 815”), a financial instrument containing embedded features and/or options may be required to be bifurcated from the financial instrument host and recognized as separate derivative asset or liability, with the bifurcated derivative asset or liability initially measured at estimated fair value as of the transaction issue date and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value as of each reporting period balance sheet date.   Alternatively, FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, (“ASC 825”) provides for the “fair value option” (“FVO”) election. In this regard, ASC 825-10-15-4 provides for the FVO election (to the extent not otherwise prohibited by ASC 825-10-15-5) to be afforded to financial instruments, wherein the financial instrument is initially measured at estimated fair value as of the transaction issue date and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value as of each reporting period balance sheet date, with changes in the estimated fair value recognized as other income (expense) in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value adjustment of the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note, including the component related to accrued interest, is presented in a single line item within other income (expense) in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations (as provided for by ASC 825-10-50-30(b)). Further, as required by ASC 825-10-45-5, to the extent a portion of the fair value adjustment is attributed to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk, such portion would be recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) (for which there was no such adjustment with respect to the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note).   See Note 9, Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements, with respect to the FVO election; and Note 10, Debt, for a discussion of the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note.     Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued   Reclassifications   Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, which includes presenting costs of revenue within operating expenses on the statements of operations, in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The impact of the reclassifications made to prior year amounts is not material and did not affect net loss.   Recent Accounting Standards Updates Not Yet Adopted   In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 provide for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company prospectively to all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the standard to have a significant impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.   In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which require public companies disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. The guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements, unless it is impracticable. The Company does not expect the standard to have a significant impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.   In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This update modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification to conform with certain SEC amendments in Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively, and the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or S-K becomes effective. However, if the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations by June 30, 2027, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this update will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

The MSA does not have a termination date, but may be terminated by the Company’s board of directors. The MSA Fee is charged on a monthly basis and is subject-to periodic adjustment corresponding with changes in the services provided by PAVmed personnel to the Company, with any such change in the MSA Fee being subject to approval of the boards of directors of each of the Company and PAVmed. The respective companies’ boards of directors approved an amendment to the MSA to increase the MSA Fee to $833 per month, effective January 1, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, MSA fees were $750 per month.   Subsequent to June 30, 2024, in August 2024, the respective companies’ boards of directors approved the Company to enter into a ninth amendment to the MSA. Under this amendment, the monthly fee due from the Company to PAVmed was increased from $833 to $1,050, effective July 1, 2024.   On January 26, 2024, PAVmed elected to receive payment of $4,675 of fees and reimbursements due from Lucid, through the issuance of 3,331,771 shares of Lucid Diagnostics common stock.   The MSA Fee expense classification in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the periods noted is as follows:       2024     2023     2024     2023       Three Months Ended June 30,     Six Months Ended June 30,       2024     2023     2024     2023   Sales & Marketing     127       109     $ 253     $ 218   General & Administrative     1,803       1,554       3,607       3,108   Research & Development     570       587       1,140       1,174   Total MSA Fee   $ 2,500     $ 2,250     $ 5,000     $ 4,500     The classification of the MSA Fee as presented above is based on the PAVmed classification of employee salary expense and other operating expenses.

The convertible note is accounted for under the ASC 825-10-15-4 fair value option (“FVO”) election, wherein, the financial instrument is initially measured at its issue date estimated fair value and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date.   The estimated fair value of the financial instruments classified within the Level 3 category was determined using both observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Unrealized gains and losses associated with liabilities within the Level 3 category include changes in fair value attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long- dated volatilities) inputs.   1 There were no transfers between the respective Levels during the six months ended June 30, 2024.     Note 9 — Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements - continued   The estimated fair value of the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note as of each of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were computed using a Monte Carlo simulation of the present value of its cash flows using a synthetic credit rating analysis and a required rate-of-return, using the following assumptions:       March 2023 Senior Convertible Note: June 30, 2024     March 2023 Senior Convertible Note: December 31, 2023   Fair Value   $ 11,200     $ 13,950   Face value principal payable   $ 9,811     $ 11,019   Required rate of return     10.00 %     10.00 % Conversion Price   $ 5.00     $ 5.00   Value of common stock   $ 0.82     $ 1.41   Expected term (years)     0.72       1.22   Volatility     60.00 %     60.00 % Risk free rate     5.09 %     4.56 % Dividend yield     — %     — %   The estimated fair values reported utilized the Company’s common stock price along with certain Level 3 inputs (as discussed in the table above), in the development of Monte Carlo simulation models, discounted cash flow analyses, and /or Black-Scholes valuation models. The estimated fair values are subjective and are affected by changes in inputs to the valuation models and analyses, including the Company’s common stock price, the Company’s dividend yield, the risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields, and certain other Level-3 inputs including, assumptions regarding the estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s common stock price and the volatility of similar entities within the medical device industry.

Equity [Abstract]
Stockholders’ Equity	Note 12 — Stockholders’ Equity   Series B Preferred Stock Offering and Exchange   On March 13, 2024, the Company issued 44,285 shares of newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), to accredited investors at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $18.1 million. In connection with the offering, 100% of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock were exchanged for shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the Series B Preferred Stock Offering and Exchange. As a result, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series A-1 Preferred Stock remain outstanding.   In connection with the issuance, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series B Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Designation”). The key terms of the Series B Preferred Stock are as follows:   Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock, equal to the number of Series B Preferred Shares to be converted, multiplied by the stated value of $1,000 (the “Stated Value”), divided by the conversion price in effect at the time of the conversion. The initial conversion price is $1.2444, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at any time at the option of the holder from and after the six-month anniversary of its issuance, and automatically converts into shares of our common stock on March 13, 2026, the second anniversary of its issuance at a conversion price of $1.2444, and the Series B Preferred Stock is a voting security (subject to applicable ownership limitations). In addition, the Series B Preferred Stock issued in exchange for Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock may be converted, at the election of the Company at any time after the six-month anniversary of the issuance of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, upon written notice given to the holders of such shares, if the volume weight average price of our common stock has been at least $8.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and similar transactions) on 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days ending within 15 trading days prior to the date on which such notice is given (subject to certain limited exceptions) (a “VWAP-Based Mandatory Conversion”).   The Series B Preferred Stock will be senior to the Common Stock and any other class of the Company’s capital stock that is not by its terms senior to or pari passu with the Series B Preferred Stock.   The holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends payable as follows: (i) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 20% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock then held by such Holder on March 13, 2025, and (ii) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 20% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock then held by such Holder on March 13, 2026. A holder that voluntarily converts its Series B Preferred Stock prior to March 13, 2025 or March 13, 2026, as the case may be, will not receive the dividend that accrues on such date with respect to such converted Series B Preferred Stock. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock also will be entitled to dividends equal, on an as-if-converted to shares of Common Stock basis, to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as, and if such dividends are paid on shares of the Common Stock.   In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (or any Deemed Liquidation Event as defined in the Certificate of Designation), the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Value, plus any dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series B Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such event.   The Series B Preferred Stock is a voting security (subject to applicable ownership limitations).   The Company will not effect any conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, and a holder will not have the right to receive dividends or convert any portion of the Series B Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the receipt of dividends or the conversion, the holder (together with such holder’s affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of the holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (or, upon election of the holder, 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock).   The Company and the investors in the offering also executed a registration rights agreement (the “Series B Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Series B Preferred Stock. The Company filed such registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC (file number 333-280650), which filing became effective on July 18, 2024, covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Series B and Series B-1 Preferred Stock.     Note 12 — Stockholders’ Equity - continued   Series B-1 Preferred Stock Offering   On May 6, 2024, the Company issued approximately 11,634 shares of newly designated Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B-1 Preferred Stock”). The terms of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock are substantially identical to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, except that the Series B-1 Preferred Stock has a conversion price of $0.7228 and are not subject to a VWAP-Based Mandatory Conversion. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of shares in such offering were $11.6 million.   Series A Preferred Stock Offering   On March 7, 2023, the Company issued 13,625 shares of newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock were substantially identical to the terms of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, except that the Series A Preferred Stock had a conversion price of $1.394 and was not a voting security. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of shares in such offering were $13.6 million.   As noted above, on March 13, 2024, 100% of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock were exchanged for shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the Series B Preferred Stock Offering and Exchange. As a result, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding.   Series A-1 Preferred Stock Offering   On October 17, 2023, the Company issued 5,000 shares of newly designated Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”). The terms of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock were substantially identical to the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, except that the Series A-1 Preferred Stock has a conversion price of $1.2592. The aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of shares in such offering were $5.0 million.   On March 13, 2024, the Company issued an additional 5,670 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock.   As noted above, on March 13, 2024, 100% of the then-outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock were exchanged for shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the Series B Preferred Stock Offering and Exchange. As a result, no shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock remain outstanding.   Deemed Dividend on Series A and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock Exchange Offer   The fair value of the consideration given in the form of the issue of 44,285 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, with such fair value recognized as the carrying value of such issued shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as compared to both the newly issued Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (fair value of $12,495) and the carrying value of the extinguished Series A and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (carrying value of $24,294), resulting in an excess of fair value of $7.5 million recognized as a deemed dividend charged to accumulated deficit in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet on March 13, 2024, with such deemed dividend included as a component of net loss attributable to common stockholders, summarized as follows:   Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Issuance and Series A/A-1 Exchange Offer   March 13, 2024   Fair Value - 44,285 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued   $ 44,285   Less: Fair value related to newly issued Series B Preferred Stock (of 12,495 shares)     (12,495 ) Less: Carrying value related to Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock Exchanged for Series B Preferred Stock (of 24,295 shares)     (24,294 ) Deemed Dividend Charged to Accumulated Deficit   $ 7,496       Note 12 — Stockholders’ Equity - continued   Lucid Diagnostics Common Stock   Subsequent to June 30, 2024, in July 2024, the Company received shareholder approval to amend its certificate of incorporation, as amended, to increase the total number of shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue by 100 million shares from 200 million shares to 300 million shares. An amendment effecting such change was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on July 23, 2024.   Additionally and also subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved, for purposes of Listing Rule 5635 of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock under the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) sold by the Company in a private offering in March 2024 and the Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B-1 Preferred Stock”) sold by the Company in a private offering in May 2024. Each of the Series B and Series B-1 Preferred Stock is a voting security. On any matter to be acted upon or considered by the stockholders of the Company, each holder shall be entitled to vote on an “as converted” basis after applying the beneficial ownership limitations described in the Series B and B-1 Preferred Stock Offering above.   As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 49,344,945 and 42,329,864 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, PAVmed holds 31,302,444 shares and maintains a controlling financial and voting interest in the Company.   On January 26, 2024, PAVmed elected to receive payment of $4,675 of fees and reimbursements due from Lucid, through the issuance of 3,331,771 shares of Lucid Diagnostics common stock. Substantially all of such shares were distributed by PAVmed to its shareholders on February 15, 2024.   On June 21, 2024, the Company received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq stating that, for the prior 30 consecutive business days (through June 20, 2024), the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock had been below the minimum of $1 per share required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notification letter stated that the Company would be afforded 180 calendar days (until December 18, 2024) to regain compliance, and that the Company could be eligible for additional time. The Company intends to consider all available options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing standards.   Committed Equity Facility and ATM Facility   On March 28, 2022, the Company entered into a committed equity facility with an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald (“Cantor”). Under the terms of the committed equity facility, Cantor has committed to purchase up to $50 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time at the request of the Company. While there are distinct differences, the facility is structured similarly to a traditional at-the-market equity facility, insofar as it allows the Company to raise primary equity capital on a periodic basis at prices based on the existing market price. Cumulatively a total of 680,263 shares of Lucid Diagnostics’ common stock were issued for net proceeds of approximately $1.8 million, after a 4% discount, as of June 30, 2024.   In November 2022, the Company entered into an “at-the-market offering” (“ATM”) for up to $6.5 million of its common stock that may be offered and sold under a Controlled Equity Offering Agreement between the Company and Cantor. Cumulatively a total of 230,068 shares of Lucid Diagnostics’ common stock were issued through the at-the-market equity facility for net proceeds of approximately $0.3 million, after payments of 3% commissions, as of June 30, 2024.

However, the Company has incurred net losses to-date, and as such holders are not contractually obligated to share in the losses, there is no impact on the Company’s net loss per share calculation for the periods indicated.   Basic weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 include the shares of the Company issued and outstanding during such periods, each on a weighted average basis. The basic weighted average number of shares common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalent incremental shares, while diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding includes such incremental shares. However, as the Company was in a loss position for all years presented, basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same, as the inclusion of the incremental shares would be anti-dilutive. The common stock equivalents excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding are as follows:                     June 30,       2024     2023   Stock options     8,744,626       4,949,962   Unvested restricted stock awards     3,897,440       1,872,100   Preferred stock     51,682,378       13,695,850   Total     64,324,444       20,517,912

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation   The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is a consolidated subsidiary of PAVmed, which has financial control of the Company. The Company manages its operations as a single operating segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions.   As permitted under SEC rules, certain footnotes or other financial information normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements at such date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, and in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of routine recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial information.   The unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any other interim period or for any other future periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related unaudited condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2024.   All amounts in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto are presented in thousands of dollars, if not otherwise noted as being presented in millions of dollars, except for shares and per share amounts.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates   In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and the determination of corresponding carrying value reserves, if any, and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent losses, as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include those related to the estimated fair value of debt obligations, stock-based equity awards and intangible assets. Other significant estimates include the estimated incremental borrowing rate, the provision or benefit for income taxes and the corresponding valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Additionally, management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Due to inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in these estimates.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition   Revenues are recognized when the satisfaction of the performance obligation occurs, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to collect in exchange for those services. The Company’s revenue is primarily generated by its laboratory testing services utilizing its EsoGuard Esophageal DNA tests. The services are completed upon release of a patient’s test result to the ordering healthcare provider. Revenue recognized is inclusive of both variable consideration in connection with an individual patient’s third-party insurance coverage policy and fixed consideration in connection with a contracted services arrangement with an unrelated third party legal entity. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.     Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued   The key aspects considered by the Company include the following:   Contracts—The Company’s customer is primarily the patient, but the Company does not enter into a formal reimbursement contract with a patient. The Company establishes a contract with a patient in accordance with other customary business practices, which is the point in time an order is received from a provider and a patient specimen has been returned to the laboratory for testing. Payment terms are a function of a patient’s existing insurance benefits, including the impact of coverage decisions with Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and applicable reimbursement contracts established between the Company and payers. However, when a patient is considered self-pay, the Company requires payment from the patient prior to the commencement of the Company’s performance obligations. The Company’s consideration can be deemed variable or fixed depending on the structure of specific payer contracts, and the Company considers collection of such consideration to be probable to the extent that it is unconstrained.   Performance obligations—A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) to the customer. The Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, which is satisfied upon rendering of services, which culminates in the release of a patient’s test result to the ordering healthcare provider. The Company elects the practical expedient related to the disclosure of unsatisfied performance obligations, as the duration of time between providing testing supplies, the receipt of a sample, and the release of a test result to the ordering healthcare provider is far less than one year.   Transaction price—The transaction price is the amount of consideration that the Company expects to collect in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example, some sales taxes). The consideration expected to be collected from a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both.   If the consideration derived from the contracts is deemed to be variable, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the promised goods or services. The Company limits the amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price to the unconstrained portion of such consideration. In other words, the Company recognizes revenue up to the amount of variable consideration that is not subject to a significant reversal until additional information is obtained or the uncertainty associated with the additional payments or refunds is subsequently resolved.   When the Company does not have significant historical experience or that experience has limited predictive value, the constraint over estimates of variable consideration may result in no revenue being recognized upon delivery of patient EsoGuard test results to the ordering healthcare provider. As such, the Company recognizes revenue up to the amount of variable consideration not subject to a significant reversal until additional information is obtained or the uncertainty associated with additional payments or refunds, if any, is subsequently resolved. Differences between original estimates and subsequent revisions, including final settlements, represent changes in estimated expected variable consideration, with the change in estimate recognized in the period of such revised estimate. With respect to a contracted service arrangement, the fixed consideration revenue is recognized on an as-billed basis upon delivery of the laboratory test report with realization of such fixed consideration deemed probable based upon actual historical experience.   Allocate transaction price—The transaction price is allocated entirely to the performance obligation contained within the contract with a customer on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or service.   Practical Expedients—The Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component, as at contract inception, the Company expects the collection cycle to be one year or less.
Fair Value Option (“FVO”) Election	Fair Value Option (“FVO”) Election   Under a Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 13, 2023, the Company issued a Senior Secured Convertible Note dated March 21, 2023, referred to herein as the “March 2023 Senior Convertible Note”, which is accounted under the “fair value option election” as discussed below.   Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Derivative and Hedging, (“ASC 815”), a financial instrument containing embedded features and/or options may be required to be bifurcated from the financial instrument host and recognized as separate derivative asset or liability, with the bifurcated derivative asset or liability initially measured at estimated fair value as of the transaction issue date and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value as of each reporting period balance sheet date.   Alternatively, FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, (“ASC 825”) provides for the “fair value option” (“FVO”) election. In this regard, ASC 825-10-15-4 provides for the FVO election (to the extent not otherwise prohibited by ASC 825-10-15-5) to be afforded to financial instruments, wherein the financial instrument is initially measured at estimated fair value as of the transaction issue date and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value as of each reporting period balance sheet date, with changes in the estimated fair value recognized as other income (expense) in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value adjustment of the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note, including the component related to accrued interest, is presented in a single line item within other income (expense) in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations (as provided for by ASC 825-10-50-30(b)). Further, as required by ASC 825-10-45-5, to the extent a portion of the fair value adjustment is attributed to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk, such portion would be recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) (for which there was no such adjustment with respect to the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note).   See Note 9, Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements, with respect to the FVO election; and Note 10, Debt, for a discussion of the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note.     Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Reclassifications	Reclassifications   Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, which includes presenting costs of revenue within operating expenses on the statements of operations, in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The impact of the reclassifications made to prior year amounts is not material and did not affect net loss.
Recent Accounting Standards Updates Not Yet Adopted	Recent Accounting Standards Updates Not Yet Adopted   In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 provide for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company prospectively to all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the standard to have a significant impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.   In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which require public companies disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. The guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements, unless it is impracticable. The Company does not expect the standard to have a significant impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.   In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This update modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification to conform with certain SEC amendments in Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively, and the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or S-K becomes effective. However, if the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations by June 30, 2027, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this update will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Conversion of stock, description			The Company will not effect any conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, and a holder will not have the right to receive dividends or convert any portion of the Series B Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the receipt of dividends or the conversion, the holder (together with such holder’s affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of the holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (or, upon election of the holder, 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock).
