1. Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation
Envoy Medical, Inc. (“Envoy Medical” or the “Company”) is a hearing health company focused on providing innovative medical technologies across the hearing loss spectrum. Envoy Medical’s technologies are designed to shift the paradigm within the hearing industry and bring both providers and patients the hearing devices they desire. The Company’s first commercial product, the Esteem® Fully Implanted Active Middle Ear Implant (“Esteem FI-AMEI”), is a fully implanted active middle ear hearing device. The Esteem FI-AMEI was approved for sale in 2010 by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”).
Envoy Medical believes the fully implanted Acclaim® Cochlear Implant (“Acclaim CI”) is a first-of-its-kind cochlear implant. Envoy Medical’s fully implanted technology includes a sensor designed to leverage the natural anatomy of the ear instead of a microphone to capture sound. The Acclaim CI is designed to address severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss that is not adequately addressed by hearing aids. The Acclaim CI will only be indicated for adults who have been deemed adequate candidates by a qualified physician. The Acclaim CI received the Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA in 2019.
On September 29, 2023 (the
“Closing Date”), a merger transaction between Envoy Medical Corporation, Anzu Special Acquisition Corp I (“Anzu”)
and Envoy Merger Sub, Inc., a directly, wholly owned subsidiary of Anzu (“Merger Sub”) was completed (hereinafter, the “Merger”

Combination Agreement”). In connection with the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), Merger Sub merged with Envoy

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Going Concern
Since inception, the Company
has incurred cumulative losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $
Management believes that its existing cash balances combined with future capital raises through debt and equity and cash receipts from product sales will be sufficient to fund ongoing operations through at least one year from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its strategic plans, that the Company’s cash balances and future capital raises will be sufficient to support its ongoing operations, or that any additional financing will be available in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient financing when needed or events or circumstances occur such that the Company does not meet its strategic plans, the Company may be required to reduce certain of its discretionary spending. The Company may be unable to develop new or enhanced production methods, or be unable to fund capital expenditures, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and ability to achieve its intended business objectives. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Unaudited Financial Information
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, they do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the full year. As such, the information included in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are included in the Company’s Form 10-K, dated and filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025, which is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, but does not include all the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include but are not limited to the useful lives of property and equipment, the net realizable value of inventory, product warranty liability, stock-based compensation expense, the present value of the lease liability, the fair value of the forward purchase agreement warrant liability, and the outcome of litigation. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effect of changes, if any, are reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The fair value of the forward

The Company derives revenue primarily in the United States and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis.
The accounting policies of the hearing segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM assesses performance for the hearing segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss that also is reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as total assets.
The CODM uses net loss to evaluate the segment results in deciding whether to make investments into the hearing segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for entering into significant contracts, hiring of key management or executive personnel, making significant capital investment decisions, or changing Company-wide strategy.
Net loss is used to monitor budget versus actual results and assist the CODM in understanding the Company’s cash flows and liquidity position, which is critical as a development state entity. This allows the CODM to make the appropriate spending decisions for the Company.

Overview
We are a hearing health company focused on providing innovative medical technologies across the hearing loss spectrum. Our technologies are designed to shift the paradigm within the hearing industry and bring both providers and patients the hearing devices they desire. Founded in 1995, our vision is to create fully implanted hearing devices that leverage the natural ear - not an artificial microphone - to pick up sound. In recent years, we have focused almost exclusively on developing the fully implanted Acclaim® cochlear implant (the “Acclaim CI”), our lead product candidate.
We believe that the Acclaim CI is a first-of-its-kind cochlear implant. Our fully implanted technology includes a sensor designed to leverage the natural anatomy of the ear instead of a microphone to capture sound. The Acclaim CI is designed to address severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss that is not adequately addressed by hearing aids. The Acclaim CI will only be indicated for adults who have been deemed adequate candidates by a qualified physician. The Acclaim CI received the Breakthrough Device Designation from the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in 2019.
Our first product, the Esteem ® Fully Implanted Active Middle Ear Implant (“Esteem FI-AMEI”), received FDA approval in 2010. The Esteem FI-AMEI is a fully implanted active middle ear hearing device and remains the only FDA approved fully implanted hearing device in the US market. Unfortunately, the Esteem FI-AMEI failed to gain commercial traction, primarily due to a lack of reimbursement or insurance coverage from third-party payors.
22
Despite the commercial challenges, approximately 1,000 Esteem FI-AMEI devices were implanted. Some devices were implanted in the early 2000s during clinical trials, providing Envoy Medical with over two decades of experience with our implantable sensor technology. Throughout our experience, our sensor technology proved a viable alternative and robust option to external or implanted microphones.
In late 2015, we made the decision to shift our focus from the Esteem FI-AMEI to a new product that would leverage our sensor technology and incorporate it into a cochlear implant. As a result, we now have the Acclaim CI, a fully implanted cochlear implant. We believe that Acclaim CI gives us the opportunity to disrupt the existing cochlear implant market. The cochlear implant market is one that already has established market acceptance and reimbursement pathways. In the United States, before we can market a new Class III medical device, like the Acclaim CI, we must first receive FDA approval via the premarket application approval process.
The Investigational Device Exemption (“IDE”) to begin a pivotal clinical study on the fully implanted Acclaim CI was granted by the FDA in October of 2024. Seven investigational sites were selected prior to the end of 2024. To date, five of the seven investigational sites have received Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) approvals and been successfully activated. The two remaining sites are waiting for IRB approval and activation.
The IDE was approved as a “staged” clinical trial with the first stage allowing enrollment of 10 study participants. Envoy Medical may request expansion into the second stage once it has discussed initial three to six month data on the 10 study participants with the FDA. If allowed by the FDA to proceed into the second stage, an additional 46 study participants will be enrolled for a total study population of 56 patients.
The first two surgeries took place in February of 2025 and all 10 patients in the first stage were implanted by mid-April. To date, all 10 patients have been “activated” (i.e., devices turned on).
Timing of expansion beyond the first stage is dependent on data collection and subsequent discussions with the FDA about the data. Envoy Medical is currently targeting expansion into the second stage in the fourth quarter of 2025 or the first quarter of 2026.
Each implanted study participant will be followed through their 12 month visit. After all 56 patients have been through their 12 month visits, the data will be collected and analyzed in accordance with the clinical study protocol and statistical analysis plan. Upon finalization of the results, Envoy Medical intends to submit a Premarket Approval (“PMA”) application to the FDA. The FDA will have 180 days to review the PMA unless a panel review is requested. If a panel review is requested, it may add several months of additional review time to the PMA. As a result, Envoy Medical currently anticipates obtaining the FDA’s decision on our PMA at some point within the second half of 2027 or first half of 2028, depending on the FDA’s review process and timeline.
The FDA approval process is uncertain and there can be no guarantees of whether the Acclaim CI will ever successfully receive FDA approval. In addition, we cannot predict the effects that changes to federal regulatory staffing, funding, and policies and procedures will have on the timeline and ultimate FDA approval decision. As a result, we cannot guarantee that we will receive FDA approval on a specific timeline, or at all.
23
We had a net losses of $5.7 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $10.7 million and $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $297.9 million and $284.7 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We have funded our operations to date primarily through the issuance of equity securities, term debt and convertible debt. We expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future, and expect our research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, and capital expenditures will continue to increase. In particular, we expect our expenses to increase as we continue our development of the Acclaim CI and seek the necessary regulatory approvals for our product candidate, as well as hire additional personnel, pay fees to outside consultants, attorneys and accountants, and incur other increased costs associated with being a public company. In addition, if and when we seek and obtain regulatory approval to commercialize the Acclaim CI in the United States, we will also incur increased expenses in connection with commercialization and marketing of such product. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing of our clinical trials, if any, and our expenditures on other research and development activities. We anticipate that our expenses will increase significantly in connection with our ongoing activities, if and as we:
| ● | continue our research and development efforts for the Acclaim CI product candidate, including through clinical trials; |
| ● | seek additional regulatory and marketing approvals in jurisdictions outside the United States; |
| ● | establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize our product candidate; |
| ● | rely on our third-party suppliers and manufacturers to obtain adequate supply of materials and components for our products; |
| ● | seek to identify, assess, acquire, license, and/or develop other product candidates and subsequent generations of our current product candidate; |
| ● | seek to maintain, protect, and expand our intellectual property portfolio; |
| ● | seek to identify, hire, and retain additional skilled personnel; |
| ● | create additional infrastructure to support our operations as a public company and our product candidate development and planned future commercialization efforts; and |
| ● | experience any delays or encounter issues with respect to any of the above, including, but not limited to, failed studies, complex results, safety issues or other regulatory challenges that require longer follow-up of existing studies or additional supportive studies in order to pursue marketing approval. |
We expect that our financial performance may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year due to the development status of our Acclaim CI product and our efforts to obtain regulatory approval and commercialize the Acclaim CI product.
The Acclaim CI has not yet been approved for sale. We do not expect to generate any product sales unless and until we successfully complete development and obtain regulatory approval for our product candidate. If we obtain regulatory approval for the Acclaim CI, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. As a result, until such time, if ever, that we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including collaborations, licenses or similar arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed or on favorable terms, if at all. Any failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and on our ability to pursue our business plans and strategies, including our research and development activities. If we are unable to raise capital, we will need to delay, reduce, or terminate planned activities to reduce costs.
Macroeconomic Conditions
Our business and financial performance are impacted by macroeconomic conditions. Global macroeconomic challenges, such as the effects of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the Middle East conflict, supply chain constraints, tariffs and trade wars, market uncertainty, volatility in exchange rates, inflationary trends, interest rates, and evolving dynamics in the global trade environment have impacted our business, financial performance, and our ability to raise capital.
24
Furthermore, a recession or market correction resulting from macroeconomic factors could materially affect our business and the value of our Common Stock. The occurrence of any such events may lead to reduced disposable income which could adversely affect the number of Esteem FI-AMEI implants and replacement components sold as a result of customer and patient reluctance to seek treatment due to financial considerations.
Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including pandemics or international tensions, could also result in significant disruption of global economic conditions and consumer trends, as well as a significant disruption in financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity.
Key Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
Currently, we derive substantially all our revenue from the sale of the Esteem FI-AMEI implants and replacement components to Esteem FI-AMEI implants. We enter arrangements with patients to provide them with the Esteem FI-AMEI device, personal programmer devices, sound processor / battery assembly (“Battery”) replacements, and/or an optional Care Plan, each of which are outputs of our ordinary activities in exchange for consideration. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon transfer of control of the product to a customer, which occurs at a point in time, when we are notified the product has been implanted or used by the customer in a surgical procedure. New implantations of the Esteem FI-AMEI are not expected to be more than a few per year and may be as low as zero. Although we believe it to be unlikely, Esteem FI-AMEI implantations could potentially increase with favorable reimbursement policy and coverage changes. We will continue our efforts to pursue positive reimbursement changes for fully implanted active middle ear implants. There will be continued nominal revenue from replacement of sound processors for patients who need a new Battery.
Upon commercialization of our Acclaim CI product, we expect that Acclaim CI revenues will more than exceed our Esteem FI-AMEI revenue. We are targeting FDA approval on our PMA for the Acclaim CI in the second half of 2027 or first half of 2028, depending on the FDA’s review process and timeline.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold includes direct and indirect costs related to the manufacturing and distribution of the Esteem FI-AMEI, including materials, labor costs for personnel involved in the manufacturing process, distribution-related services, indirect overhead costs, and charges for excess and obsolete inventory reserves and inventory write-offs.
We expect cost of goods sold to increase or decrease in absolute dollars primarily as, and to the extent, our revenue grows or declines, respectively.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist of costs incurred for our research activities, primarily our discovery efforts and the development of the Acclaim CI product. We also incur R&D costs related to continuing to support, and improving upon where possible, our Esteem FI-AMEI product. We expense R&D costs as incurred, which include:
| ● | salaries, employee benefits, and other related costs for our personnel engaged in R&D functions; |
| ● | service fees incurred under agreements with independent consultants, including their fees and related travel expenses engaged in R&D functions; |
| ● | costs of laboratory testing including supplies and acquiring, developing, and manufacturing study materials; and |
| ● | facility-related expenses, which include direct depreciation costs and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and other operating costs. |
25
Costs for certain development activities are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information and data provided to us by our vendors, service providers and our clinical sites.
Our R&D expenses are currently tracked on a project basis. The majority of our R&D expenses incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were for the development of the Acclaim CI.
Our products require human clinical trials to obtain regulatory approval for commercial sales. We cannot determine with certainty the size, duration, or completion costs of future clinical trials, or if or when they may be completed. Furthermore, we do not know if the clinical trials will show positive or negative results, or what those results will mean for regulatory approval or commercialization efforts.
The duration, costs and timing of future clinical trials and development of our products will depend on a variety of factors, including:
| ● | the scope, rate of progress, and expense of our ongoing, as well as any additional, clinical trials and other R&D activities; |
| ● | interest in or demand for both investigational site and subject enrollment; |
| ● | future clinical trial results; |
| ● | potential changes in government regulation; |
| ● | potential changes in the reimbursement landscape; and |
| ● | the timing and receipt of any regulatory approvals. |
A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of our Acclaim CI product could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of that implant. If the FDA or another regulatory authority were to require us to conduct clinical trials beyond those that we currently anticipate, or if we experience significant delays in the enrollment in any clinical trials, we could be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of clinical development.
R&D activities are central to our business model. We expect that our R&D expenses will continue to increase for the foreseeable future as we initiate clinical trials for the Acclaim CI product and prepare the product for possible commercialization, should it gain regulatory approval(s). If the Acclaim CI product enters later stages of clinical trials and ongoing development, the product will generally incur higher R&D expenses than those in earlier stages of research and development, primarily due to simultaneously running clinical trials while also iterating the product for commercialization and preparing for the needs of commercialization. There are numerous factors associated with the successful commercialization of the Acclaim CI product or any products we may develop in the future, including future trial design and various regulatory requirements, many of which cannot be determined with accuracy at this time based on our stage of development. Additionally, future commercial and regulatory factors beyond our control will impact our clinical development program and plans.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, and other related costs for personnel in our sales and marketing functions. Sales and marketing expenses also include certain indirect costs associated with efforts to secure insurance reimbursement of our products. We expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase in the foreseeable future as we increase our sales and marketing personnel to support our continuing growth.
26
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, and other related costs for personnel in our executive, operations, legal, human resources, finance, insurance premiums, and administrative functions. Administrative expenses also include professional fees for legal, patent, consulting, accounting, tax and audit services, travel expenses and facility-related expenses, which include direct depreciation costs and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, technology, and other operating costs.
We expect our general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in the foreseeable future as we increase our administrative personnel to support our continuing growth, our costs of expanding our operations and operating as a public company. These increases will likely include the hiring of additional personnel and legal, regulatory, and other fees and services associated with maintaining compliance with Nasdaq and SEC requirements, director and officer insurance costs and investor relations costs associated with being a public company.
Change in Fair Value of Forward Purchase Agreement Put Option Liability
We recognized the forward purchase agreement put option liability at fair value at each reporting period. The liability was subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value was recognized in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The forward purchase agreement put option liability has been derecognized as of March 31, 2024 due to the sale of the shares associated with the Forward Purchase Agreement during the first quarter of 2024.
Change in Fair Value of Forward Purchase Agreement Warrant Liability
We recognize the forward purchase agreement warrant liability at fair value at each reporting period. The liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value is recognized in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during each reporting period.
Change in Fair Value of Publicly Traded Warrant Liability
We recognize the publicly traded warrant liability at fair value at each reporting period. The liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value is recognized in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during each reporting period.
Interest Expense, Related Party
Interest expense, related party consists of accrued interest for the term loans held by a related party (the “Term Loans”), as well as amortization of the debt discount recorded as a result of the warrants issued with the Term Loans. Amortization of the debt discount is recorded over the respective terms of the Term Loans.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 consists of interest incurred on insurance financing loans as well as interest income.

Net Revenues
Net revenues increased $10 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Revenues were flat and not significant to the results of our operations.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold decreased $11 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is due to reduction in Esteem FI-AMEI material waste during production offset by increases to the inventory reserve and supplier expenses.
Research and Development Expenses
The following table summarizes the components of our R&D expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

R&D expenses decreased $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. R&D product costs decreased $0.5 million from the prior period as we moved from the development phase into the clinical trials phase. Personnel costs and other R&D costs increased $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, from the prior period to support the clinical trials with additional headcount and equipment, respectively.
28
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses decreased $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is due to a reduction of legal and professional fees of $0.2 million associated with securing insurance reimbursement for the Esteem FI-AMEI product, partially offset by increased headcount and travel of less than $0.1 million.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is primarily due to a $0.3 million severance accrual for the former CFO for the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Change in Fair Value of Forward Purchase Agreement Warrant Liability
The gain from the change in the fair value of the forward purchase agreement warrant liability was $37 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a gain of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the decrease in stock price.
Change in Fair Value of Publicly Traded Warrant Liability
The loss from the change in the fair value of the publicly traded warrant liability was $32 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a gain of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This fluctuation is due to an increase in the Company’s closing price for those warrants during the 2025 period as compared to the 2024 period.
Interest Expense, Related Party
Interest expense, related party increased $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is due to additional issuances of Term Loans between the two periods.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense decreased by $7 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, due to a reduction in interest incurred on insurance financing loans.

The change in the fair value of the forward purchase agreement put option liability was zero for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a gain of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the first quarter of 2024, the shares associated with the forward purchase agreement put option were sold.
Change in Fair Value of Forward Purchase Agreement Warrant Liability
The gain from the change in the fair value of the forward purchase agreement warrant liability was $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a loss of $18 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The $0.5 million increase is primarily due to the decrease in stock price.
Change in Fair Value of Publicly Traded Warrant Liability
The gain from the change in the fair value of the publicly traded warrant liability was $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a loss of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The fluctuation is due to a decrease in the Company’s closing price for those warrants during the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period.
Interest Expense, Related Party
Interest expense, related party increased $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is due to additional issuances of Term Loans between the two periods.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense decreased by $11 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to a reduction in interest incurred on insurance financing loans.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance the clinical development of our products and fund the process of clinical FDA trials. We have funded our operations to date primarily with proceeds from issuing equity securities, term loans, convertible notes and proceeds from the Business Combination. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $5.3 million and $5.5 million of cash, respectively.
We proactively manage our access to capital to support liquidity and continued growth. Our sources of capital include issuances of our Common Stock, Series A preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”), warrants, convertible debt, term debt and other financing agreements such as the Forward Purchase Agreement, and proceeds from the sales of the Esteem FI-AMEI implants and replacement components. See Note 1, “Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation”, of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.
31
We may seek to raise any necessary additional capital through a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements and other marketing and distribution arrangements. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring additional funding at levels sufficient to fund our operations or on terms favorable to us. Based on our cash position as of June 30, 2025, assuming there is no additional funding through the Forward Purchase Agreement or ATM, we expect to have sufficient funds for our operations through September 2025. Proceeds from the Forward Purchase Agreement or ATM, which we expect, will provide us with funding beyond September 2025. We have based our estimates as to how long we expect we will be able to fund our operations on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect, in which case we would be required to obtain additional financing sooner than currently projected, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise sufficient financing when needed or events or circumstances occur such that we do not meet our strategic plans, we may be required to reduce certain discretionary spending, be unable to develop new or enhanced production methods, or be unable to fund capital expenditures, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and ability to achieve our intended business objectives. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. To the extent that we raise additional capital through additional collaborations, strategic alliances, or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our Acclaim CI, future revenue streams, research programs or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we do raise additional capital through public or private equity or convertible debt offerings, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our stockholders’ rights. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends.
Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth in the section of the Form 10-K titled “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Our Business and Operations.”
Cash Flows

Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily used to fund a net loss of $10.7 million and $1.0 million of cash inflows from net changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, adjusted for non-cash expenses in an aggregate amount of $1.5 million.
The $1.0 million of cash inflows from net changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease of $0.8 million in other receivable due to the receipt of an income tax refund, an increase to a severance accrual of $0.3 million, as well as other typical fluctuations resulting from timing of cash receipts and disbursements within operating accounts. We will continue to evaluate our capital requirements for both short-term and long-term liquidity needs, which could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effects of the current inflationary environment, rising interest rates, and other risks detailed in the section of this Report titled “Risk Factors.”
32
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily used to fund a net loss of $10.2 million, adjusted for non-cash expenses in aggregate amount of $1.0 million and $1.0 million of cash used from net changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.
The $1.0 million of cash outflows from net changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease of $1.3 million in accrued expenses resulting from payments of Series A Preferred Stock dividends as well as an increase of $0.4 million in inventories resulting from purchases of Battery replacement parts for the Esteem FI-AMEI.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $7 thousand and consisted of purchases of computer equipment.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.9 million and consisted of purchases of property and equipment, and deposits on equipment not yet placed in service.
Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $8.0 million and was primarily a result of proceeds from the issuance of Term Loans in the amount of $10.0 million, proceeds from the ATM of $0.2 million, and from the employee stock purchase plan of less than $0.1 million, partially offset by dividends paid to preferred stockholders in the amount of $1.8 million and payments made on insurance financing loans of $0.5 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $8.7 million primarily related to the $7.5 million proceeds from Term Loans as well as the receipt of $1.7 million from the sale of Common Stock associated with the Forward Purchase Agreement.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Our principal commitments consist of our operating leases for office space, a litigation matter arising from the Company’s Business Combination, and Term Loans with GAT Funding, LLC in several installments totaling $30.0 million in outstanding principal (gross before discount for the fair value of the warrants of $2.7 million) as of June 30, 2025. Information on our open litigation matter is included in Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies”, and details on the Term Loans are described in Note 8, “Debt (Related Party)” of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods presented, we did not have, nor do we currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Related Party Arrangements
Our related party arrangements consist of receiving term loan financings, leasing our headquarters office space, and contracting for IT services from a stockholder. For further information on the related party arrangements, refer to Note 8, “Debt (Related Party)” and Note 12, “Related Party Transactions”, of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain amounts included in or affecting the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Form 10-Q and related disclosure must be estimated, requiring management to make assumptions with respect to values or conditions which cannot be known with certainty at the time the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. Management believes that the accounting policies set forth below comprise the most important “critical accounting policies” for the Company. A “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that involves difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management evaluates such policies on an ongoing basis, based upon historical results and experience, consultation with experts and other methods that management considers reasonable in the particular circumstances under which the judgments and estimates are made, as well as management’s forecasts as to the manner in which such circumstances may change in the future.
Fair Value Measurements
We determine the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy established in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 identifies fair value as the exchange price, or exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The hierarchy describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
| ● | Level 1 - Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
Management uses valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of financial instruments, where active market quotes are not available.
The following table summarizes the activity for our Level 3 instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
| Forward Purchase Agreement Warrant Liability | ||||
| Balance as of December 31, 2024 | $ | 472 | ||
| Change in fair value | (458 | ) | ||
| Balance as of June 30, 2025 | $ | 14 | ||
The fair value of the forward purchase agreement warrant liability, which is a Level 3 fair value measurement, was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Key estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value measurement include (i) the Company’s stock price, (ii) the initial exercise price, (iii) volatility, (iv) the remaining term and (v) the risk-free rate.
34
Research and Development Expenses
We will incur substantial expenses associated with prototyping, improvements, testing and clinical trials. Accounting for clinical trials relating to activities performed by external vendors requires us to exercise significant estimates regarding the timing and accounting for these expenses. We estimate costs of R&D activities conducted by service providers, which include the conduct of sponsored research and contract manufacturing activities. The diverse nature of services being provided for our clinical trials and other arrangements, the different compensation arrangements that exist for each type of service and the lack of timely information related to certain clinical activities complicates the estimation of accruals for services rendered by third parties in connection with clinical trials. We record the estimated costs of R&D activities based upon the estimated amount of services provided but not yet invoiced and include these costs in accrued expenses or prepaid expenses on the consolidated balance sheets and within R&D expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. In estimating the duration of a clinical study, we evaluate the start-up, treatment and wrap-up periods, compensation arrangements and services rendered attributable to each clinical trial and fluctuations are regularly tested against payment plans and trial completion assumptions.
We estimate these costs based on factors such as estimates of the work completed and budget provided and in accordance with agreements established with our collaboration partners and third-party service providers. We make significant judgments and estimates in determining the accrued liabilities and prepaid expense balances in each reporting period. As actual costs become known, we adjust our accrued liabilities or prepaid expenses. We have not experienced any material differences between accrued costs and actual costs incurred since our inception.
Our expenses related to clinical trials will be based on estimates of patient enrollment and related expenses at clinical investigator sites as well as estimates for the services received and efforts expended pursuant to contracts with multiple research institutions that may be used to conduct and manage clinical trials on our behalf. We will accrue expenses related to clinical trials based on contracted amounts applied to the level of patient enrollment and activity. If timelines or contracts are modified based upon changes in the clinical trial protocol or scope of work to be performed, we will modify our estimates of accrued expenses accordingly on a prospective basis.
Product Warranty
During 2013, we offered a lifetime warranty to clinical trial patients to cover Battery and surgery related costs. We estimate the costs that may be incurred under this lifetime warranty and record a liability in the amount of such costs at its present value. The assumptions utilized in developing the liability include an estimated cost per unit of $6 thousand, an average Battery life of five years, inflationary increases, discount rate, and an average patient life calculated on probabilities outlined in the PRI-2012 mortality tables, published from the Society of Actuaries.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of stock-based payment awards granted through June 30, 2024 is estimated using the Black-Scholes option model with a volatility figure derived from using a determined peer group of other companies’ stock prices since the trading history of our stock was too short to provide accurate data. The fair value of stock-based payment awards granted subsequent to June 30, 2024 is estimated using the Black-Scholes option model with a volatility figure derived from using the trading history of our Common Stock as well as a group of peer companies as the options have a longer expected term than the trading history of our Common Stock. We account for the expected term of options in accordance with the “simplified” method, which is used for “plain-vanilla” options, as defined in ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining life consistent with the expected term of the options.
We adopted the guidance from Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Compensation Accounting, and we determined not to apply a forfeiture rate and have made the accounting election that forfeitures will be recognized when the actual forfeiture takes place therefore no estimated forfeiture rate will be recorded.

Emerging Growth Company
Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or no not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public and private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard, until such time we are no longer considered to be an emerging growth company. At times, we may elect to early adopt a new or revised standard.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including currency risk, credit and counterparty risk, and inflation risk, as set out below. We manage and monitor these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner.
Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument fluctuates because of the change in foreign exchange rates. We primarily operate in the United States and Germany with most of the transactions settled in the United States dollar. Our presentation and functional currency is the United States dollar. Certain bank balances, deposits and other payables are denominated in the Euro, which exposes us to foreign currency risk. However, any transactions that may be conducted in foreign currencies are not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Credit and Counterparty Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable, net. Periodically, we maintain deposits in accredited financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. We maintain cash with financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality. We have not experienced any losses on such accounts and do not believe we are exposed to any unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.
With respect to accounts receivable, we perform credit evaluations of our customers and do not require collateral. There have been no material losses on accounts receivable. There were no customers that accounted for 10% or more of sales three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Inflation Risk
Inflationary factors, such as increases in our cost of goods sold and selling and operating expenses, may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain and increase our gross margin and decrease our selling and marketing and operating expenses as a percentage of our revenue if the selling prices of our products do not increase as much as or more than these increased costs.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
36
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below.
Notwithstanding the conclusion by our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025 were not effective, and notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, management believes that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates presented, and for the periods ended on such dates, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management concluded the following material weaknesses existed as of June 30, 2025:
| ● | The Company does not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with accounting knowledge, experience and training to appropriately analyze, record and disclose certain accounting matters to provide reasonable assurance of preventing material misstatements. |
| ● | The Company’s management does not implement a formal risk assessment that addresses risks relevant to financial reporting objectives, including cybersecurity and fraud risks. |
| ● | The Company has not designed, documented and maintained formal accounting policies, procedures and controls over significant accounts and disclosures to achieve complete, accurate and timely financial accounting, reporting and disclosures, including segregation of duties and adequate controls related to the preparation, posting, modification and review of journal entries, and the accounting treatment of complex transactions, including fair value measurements under U.S. GAAP. |
| ● | The Company has not designed and maintained effective controls over certain information technology general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including ineffective controls around user access and segregation of duties. |
Considering this, the Company performed additional procedures and analyses as deemed necessary to ensure that its financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company has begun the process of conducting a formal risk assessment and implementation of a plan to remediate these material weaknesses. These remediation measures are ongoing and include the following steps:
| ● | hiring additional accounting and financial reporting personnel with appropriate technical accounting knowledge and public company experience in financial reporting; |
| ● | designing, documenting, and implementing effective processes and controls over significant accounts and disclosure; |
| ● | designing and implementing security management and change management controls over information technology systems, including adjusting user access levels and implementing external logging on activity and periodic review of such logs; and |
| ● | engaging an accounting advisory firms to assist with the documentation, evaluation, remediation and testing of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. |
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the appointment of an Interim Chief Financial Officer, disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K, dated and filed with the SEC on June 19, 2025 there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. Except as described below, we are not currently involved in any material legal proceedings outside the ordinary course of our business.
On November 14, 2023, the Company, Whitney Haring-Smith (the former chief executive officer and a former director of the Company), Daniel Hirsch (the former chief financial officer of the Company), and Anzu SPAC GP I LLC were named as defendants in a complaint filed by Atlas Merchant Capital SPAC Fund I LP (“Atlas”) in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Atlas alleges that it was not allowed to redeem its shares of the Company’s Common Stock and that Defendants acted to prevent Atlas’s attempt to redeem its shares. Defendants assert that Atlas did not comply with the requirements for redeeming shares set forth in the Company’s organizational documents. Atlas asserts damages in the amount of approximately $9.4 million, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees. The Company has standard indemnification obligations to Dr. Haring-Smith and Mr. Hirsch. The Company believes that the lawsuit is meritless and has been defending this matter vigorously. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this legal proceeding.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information called for by this Item. However, for a discussion of the material risks, uncertainties and other factors that could have a material effect on us, please refer to the risk factors disclosed in the section of the Form 10-K titled “Risk Factors,” as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025.
