NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of CareView Communications, Inc. (“CareView”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair statement of the financial information included herein in accordance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“ASC 606”). For our subscription service contracts, we have employed the practical expedient discussed in ASC 606-10-55-18 related to invoicing as we have the right to consideration from our customers in the amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance completed to date and therefore, we recognize revenue upon invoicing as further discussed below.
In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The provisions of ASC 606 include a five-step process by which we determine revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 requires us to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the 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, we satisfy the performance obligation. For those customers for which we are required to collect sales taxes, we record such sales taxes on a net basis which has no effect on the amount of revenue or expenses recognized as the sales taxes are a flow through to the taxing authority.
We enter into contracts with customers that may provide multiple combinations of our products, software solutions, and other related services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Performance obligations that are not distinct at contract inception are combined.
Customer contract fulfillment typically involves multiple procurement promises, which may include various equipment, software subscription, project-related installation and training services, and support. We allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on estimated relative standalone selling price. Revenue is then recognized for each performance obligation upon transferring control of the hardware, software, and services to the customer and in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive and the estimated benefit the customer receives over the term of the contract.
Generally, we recognize revenue under each of our performance obligations as follows:
| ● | Subscription services – We recognize subscription revenues monthly over the contracted license period. |
| ● | Equipment packages – We recognize equipment revenues when control of the devices has been transferred to the client (“point in time”). |
| ● | Software bundle and related services related to sales-based contracts – We recognize our software subscription, installation, training, and other services on a straight-line basis over the estimated contracted license period (“over time”). |
The Company earns sales-based contract revenue from services rendered under specific agreements, which hinge on a third-party reseller who possesses the exclusive authority to engage directly with veteran-owned hospitals. Evaluating the Company’s role in these contracts necessitates assessing whether it functions as the principal or agent, a determination that involves analyzing the extent of control the Company wields over the contracts.
Following its assessment, the Company reports revenue from services provided under such contracts on a gross basis. This decision is justified by the Company’s primary responsibility to fulfill the contractual obligations, including delivery and installation of equipment and software, training, and its control over other services within the contract period. Furthermore, the Company directly sets the contract price with its customers based on the services outlined in the statement of work. As the Company is responsible for fulling this promise and maintains control, the Company is acting as the principal.

Contract Liabilities
Our subscription-based contracts payment arrangements are required to be paid monthly which are recognized into revenue when received. Some customers choose to pay their subscription fee in advance. Customer payments received in advance of satisfaction of the related performance obligations are deferred as contract liabilities. These amounts are recorded as “deferred revenue” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognized into revenues over time.
Our sales-based contract payment arrangements with our customers typically include an initial equipment payment due upon signing of the contract and subsequent payments when certain performance obligations are completed. Customer payments received in advance of satisfaction of related performance obligations are deferred as contract liabilities. These amounts are recorded as “deferred revenue” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognized into revenues as either a point in time or over time.

We defer and capitalize all costs associated with the installation of the CareView System into a healthcare facility until the CareView System is fully operational and accepted by the healthcare facility. Installation costs are specifically identifiable based on the amounts we are charged from third party installers or directly identifiable labor hours incurred for each installation. Upon acceptance, the associated costs are expensed on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract with the healthcare facility. These costs are included in network operations on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The table below details the activity in these deferred installation costs during the periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, included in other assets in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet.

Significant Judgements When Applying Topic 606
Contracts with our customers are typically structured similarly and include various combinations of our products, software solutions, and related services. Determining whether the various contract promises are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment.
Contract transaction price is allocated to distinct performance obligations using estimated standalone selling price. We determine standalone selling price maximizing observable inputs such as standalone sales, competitor standalone sales, or substantive renewal prices charged to customers when they exist. In instances where standalone selling price is not observable, we utilize an estimate of standalone selling price. Such estimates are derived from various methods that include cost plus margin, and historical pricing practices. Judgment may be required to determine standalone selling prices for each performance obligation and whether it depicts the amount we expect to receive in exchange for the related good or service.
Contract modifications occur when we and our customers agree to modify existing customer contracts to change the scope or price (or both) of the contract or when a customer terminates some, or all, of the existing services provided by us. When a contract modification occurs, it requires us to exercise judgment to determine if the modification should be accounted for as a separate contract, the termination of the original contract and creation of a new contract, a cumulative catch-up adjustment to the original contract, or a combination.
Contracts with our customers include a limited warranty on our products covering materials, workmanship, or design for the duration of the contract. We do not offer paid additional extended or lifetime warranty packages. We determined the limited warranty in our contract is not a distinct performance obligation. We do not believe our estimates of warranty costs to be significant to our determination of revenue recognition, and therefore, did not reserve for warranty costs.
Leases
The Company has an operating lease primarily consisting of office space with a remaining lease term of
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
We calculate earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with GAAP, which requires the computation and disclosure of two EPS amounts, basic and diluted. Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period under the treasury stock method. Such potential dilutive common shares consist of stock options, warrants to purchase our Common Stock (the “Warrants”) and convertible debt. Potential common shares totaling
Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock. The guidance in ASC 470-20 applies to convertible instruments for which the embedded conversion features are not required to be bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as derivatives. In addition, the amendments revise the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification. These amendments are expected to result in more freestanding financial instruments qualifying for equity classification (and, therefore, not accounted for as derivatives), as well as fewer embedded features requiring separate accounting from the host contract. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 further revise the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. We as a smaller reporting company as defined by the SEC have adopted ASU 2020-06 effective for fiscal year 2024. As of 2024, the Company does not have any preferred stock or convertible debt.
ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a “contractual sale restriction prohibiting the sale of an equity security is a characteristic of the reporting entity holding the equity security” and is not included in the equity security’s unit of account. Accordingly, an entity should not consider the contractual sale restriction when measuring the equity security’s fair value (i.e., the entity should not apply a discount related to the contractual sale restriction, as stated in ASC 820-10-35-36B as amended by the ASU). In addition, the ASU prohibits an entity from recognizing a contractual sale restriction as a separate unit of account. Under the existing guidance in ASC 820-10-35-6B, “although a reporting entity must be able to access the market, the reporting entity does not need to be able to sell the particular asset or transfer the particular liability on the measurement date to be able to measure fair value on the basis of the price in that market.” ASU 2022-03 clarifies that an entity should apply this existing guidance when measuring the fair value of equity securities that are subject to contractual sale restrictions (i.e., a contractual sale restriction on the reporting entity that prevents the sale of an equity security in the market does not prevent the entity from measuring the fair value of the equity security on the basis of the price in that principal market). ASU 2022-03 for the Company is effective for fiscal year 2024. For 2024, no contractual sale restriction exists with the Company.
ASU 2023-09 requires public business entities to disclose percentages and amounts in their reporting currency for certain categories in a tabular format with qualitative disclosures on an annual basis. ASU 2023-09 requires the use of the following categories to assist investors with assessing risks and opportunities related to effective tax rates over time and for multiple entities:
State and local income tax, net of federal (national) income tax effect
Foreign tax effect
Effect of changes in tax laws or rates enacted in the current period
Effect of cross-border tax laws
Tax credits
Changes in valuation allowances
Nontaxable or nondeductible items
Changes in unrecognized tax benefits
The new reporting guidance is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024.
ASU 2023-07 states entities with a single reportable segment must apply all of the disclosure requirements of ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosure and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280, on both an annual and an interim basis. The Company as an entity with a single reportable segment will present accordingly for the Form 10-K.
ASU 2024-03 specifies more information about income statement expenses upon adoption of the new standard. Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE), applies to all public business entities (PBEs) and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company will adopt appropriately.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN, LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT’S PLAN
Accounting standards require management to evaluate our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q (“evaluation period”). In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, management considers the conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months after the Company issues its financial statements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, management considers the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows, and the Company’s conditional and unconditional obligations due within 12 months of the date these financial statements are issued.
The Company is subject to risks like those of healthcare technology companies whereby revenues are generated based on both sales-based and subscription-based models, which assume dependence on key individuals, uncertainty of product development, generation of revenues, positive cash flow, dependence on outside sources of capital, risks associated with research, development, and successful testing of its products, successful protection of intellectual property, ability to maintain and grow its customer base, and susceptibility to infringement on the proprietary rights of others. The Company’s net losses, cash outflows, and working capital deficit raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The attainment of profitable operations is dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill the Company’s growth and operating activities and generating a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficit of $
Management continues to monitor the immediate and future cash flows needs of the company in a variety of ways which include forecasted net cash flows from operations, capital expenditure control, new inventory orders, debt modifications, increases in sales outreach, streamlining and controlling general and administrative costs, competitive industry pricing, sale of equities, debt conversions, new product or services offerings, and new business partnerships.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. A successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of positive cash flows adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.
NOTE 3 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Warrants to Purchase Common Stock of the Company
We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model (“Black-Scholes Model”) to determine the fair value of Warrants. The Black-Scholes Model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average term of the Warrant.
The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the term of the Warrants and is calculated by using the average daily historical stock prices through the day preceding the grant date. Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which our stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award. Our estimated volatility is an average of the historical volatility of our stock prices (and that of peer entities whose stock prices were publicly available) over a period equal to the expected life of the awards.

NOTE 9 – AGREEMENT WITH PDL BIOPHARMA, INC.
On June 26, 2015, we entered into a Credit Agreement (as subsequently amended) with PDL BioPharma, Inc. (“PDL”), as administrative agent and lender (“the Lender”) (the “PDL Credit Agreement”). Under the PDL Credit Agreement the Lender made available to us up to $
On February 28, 2023, the Company, the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantor, the Lender and the Tranche Three Lenders entered into a Twenty-Eighth Amendment to Modification Agreement (the “Twenty-Eighth Modification Agreement Amendment”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to amend the Modification Agreement to provide that the dates on which the Lender may elect, in the Lender’s sole discretion, to terminate the Modification Period would be July 31, 2018 and March 31, 2023 (with each such date permitted to be extended by the Lender in its sole discretion); and that the Borrower’s (i) interest payments that would otherwise be due under the Credit Agreement on December 31, 2018, March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019, September 30, 2019, December 31, 2019, March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and October 7, 2020 and (ii) payments for principal and for any other Obligations then outstanding under the Tranche One Loan and the Tranche Three Loans that would otherwise be due under the Credit Agreement on October 7, 2020, would each be deferred until March 30, 2023 (the end of the extended Modification Period).
On March 31, 2023, the Company, the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantor, the Lender and the Tranche Three Lenders entered into a Twenty-Ninth Amendment to Modification Agreement (the “Twenty-Ninth Modification Agreement Amendment”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to amend the Modification Agreement to provide that the dates on which the Lender may elect, in the Lender’s sole discretion, to terminate the Modification Period would be July 31, 2018 and April 30, 2023 (with each such date permitted to be extended by the Lender in its sole discretion); and that the Borrower’s (i) interest payments that would otherwise be due under the Credit Agreement on December 31, 2018, March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019, September 30, 2019, December 31, 2019, March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and October 7, 2020 and (ii) payments for principal and for any other Obligations then outstanding under the Tranche One Loan and the Tranche Three Loans that would otherwise be due under the Credit Agreement on October 7, 2020, would each be deferred until April 30, 2023 (the end of the extended Modification Period). Under debt modification/troubled debt guidance, we determined that the first of the eight amendments had no cash flow impact, and therefore, had no impact on accounting. Amendments nine through ten qualified for modification accounting, while the final nineteen amendments qualified for troubled debt restructuring accounting. As appropriate, we expensed the legal costs paid to third parties. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, pursuant to the terms of the PDL Modification Agreement, as amended, $
On April 29, 2023, the Company, the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantor, the Lender and the Tranche Three Lenders entered into a Thirtieth Amendment to Modification Agreement (the “Thirtieth Modification Agreement Amendment”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to amend the Modification Agreement to provide that the dates on which the Lender may elect, in the Lender’s sole discretion, to terminate the Modification Period would be July 31, 2018 and May 31, 2023 (with each such date permitted to be extended by the Lender in its sole discretion); and that the Borrower’s (i) interest payments that would otherwise be due under the Credit Agreement on December 31, 2018, March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019, September 30, 2019, December 31, 2019, March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and October 7, 2020 and (ii) payments for principal and for any other Obligations then outstanding under the Tranche One Loan and the Tranche Three Loans that would otherwise be due under the Credit Agreement on October 7, 2020, would each be deferred until May 31, 2023 (the end of the extended Modification Period).
On May 31, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Company, the Borrower, the Lender, Steven G. Johnson, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Dr. James R. Higgins, a director of the Company, entered into a Seventh Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Seventh Credit Agreement Amendment”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to amend the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) provide that, after the Effective Date, all accrued but unpaid interest (including interest accrued but unpaid prior to the Effective Date and excluding interest payable on the Maturity Date, in connection with any prepayment, or in the event of an Event of Default, which interest will be payable in cash) accruing on Tranche One Loans and Tranche Three Loans will be paid-in-kind on each Interest Payment Date by being added to the aggregate principal balance of the respective loans in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; (ii) require certain mandatory prepayments of the loans by the Company, including (A) quarterly prepayments in the amount, if any, that the Company’s Excess Cash Flow exceeds $
On September 30, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Company, the Borrower, the Lender, Steven G. Johnson, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Dr. James R. Higgins, a director of the Company, entered into an Eighth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Eighth Credit Agreement Amendment”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to amend the Credit Agreement to modify certain texts originating within the Seventh Credit Agreement. Stricken texts include “all accrued but unpaid interest (including interest accrued but unpaid prior to the Effective Date and excluding interest payable on the Maturity Date, in connection with any prepayment, or in the event of an Event of Default, which interest will be payable in cash) accruing on Tranche One Loans and Tranche Three Loans will be paid-in-kind on each Interest Payment Date by being added to the aggregate principal balance of the respective loans in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.” Additional texts include Release of Claims, which “in consideration of the Lender’s and Agent’s agreements contained in this Amendment, each of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantor hereby releases and discharges the Lender and the Agent and their affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, assigns, directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and attorneys (each, a “Released Person”) of and from any and all other claims, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings or demands, whether based in contract, tort, implied or express warranty, strict liability, criminal or civil statute or common law of any kind or character, known or unknown, which Holdings, the Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantor ever had or now has against the Agent, any Lender or any other Released Person which relates, directly or indirectly, to any acts or omissions of the Agent, any Lender or any other Released Person relating to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document on or prior to the date hereof.”
Accounting Treatment
In connection with the PDL Credit Agreement, as amended, we issued the PDL Warrant to the Lender. As of June 30, 2024, the Amended PDL Warrant has not been exercised.
Due to the PDL Eighth Credit Agreement Amendment, the calculations for the “interest paid-in-kind” and quarterly “prepayment(s)” were removed effective with the year ending on December 31, 2023. The Company concluded that the Company is encountering financial hardship and that a concession was not granted. As the Lender has not granted a concession, the guidance contained in ASC 470-50 Modification and Extinguishment was applied. Given the present value of the cash flows under the Eighth Credit Agreement Amendment differed by less than 10% from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the prior debt agreement, the debt was determined to be not substantially different which resulted in modification accounting. The Company did not have any debt issuance costs, only legal expenses.
NOTE 10 – AGREEMENT WITH HEALTHCOR
On , we entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (as subsequently amended) with HealthCor Partners Fund, LP (“HealthCor Partners”) and HealthCor Hybrid Offshore Master Fund, LP (“HealthCor Hybrid” and, together with HealthCor Partners, “HealthCor”) (the “HealthCor Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the HealthCor Purchase Agreement, we sold and issued Senior Secured Convertible Notes to HealthCor in the principal amount of $

Accounting Treatment
When issuing debt or equity securities convertible into common stock at a discount to the fair value of the common stock at the date the debt or equity financing is committed, a company is required to record a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) charge. We had three separate issuances of equity securities convertible into common stock that qualify under this accounting treatment, (i) the 2011 HealthCor Notes, (ii) the 2012 HealthCor Notes and (iii) the 2014 HealthCor Notes. Because the conversion option and the 2011 HealthCor Warrants on the 2011 HealthCor Notes were originally classified as a liability when issued due to the down round provision and the removal of the provision requiring liability treatment, and subsequently reclassified to equity on December 31, 2011 when the 2011 HealthCor Notes were amended, only the accrued interest capitalized as payment in kind (’‘PIK’’) since reclassification qualifies under this accounting treatment. We recorded an aggregate of $
Warrants were issued with the Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, Ninth, and Allonge 3 Amendment Notes and the proceeds were allocated to the instruments based on relative fair value as the warrants did not contain any features requiring liability treatment and therefore were classified as equity. At each amendment date, the warrants were recorded as debt discount, as a reduction of the net carrying amount of the debt. The debt discounts are amortized into interest expense each period under the effective interest method. The value allocated to the Ninth Amendment Warrants was $
NOTE 11 – LEASE
Under ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), operating lease expense is generally recognized evenly over the term of the lease. The Company has an operating lease primarily consisting of office space with a remaining lease term of
On March 4, 2020, we entered into the Fourth Amendment to Commercial Lease Agreement (the “Lease Extension”), wherein we extended the Lease through August 31, 2025. The Lease Extension contains a renewal provision under which the Lease has been extended for an additional -year period under the same terms and conditions of the original Lease Agreement.
The Company has further concluded that the Lease Extension has no effects on the classification of the Lease. Rent expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $

Company Overview and Recent Developments
As a leader in turnkey patient video monitoring solutions, CareView is redefining the standard of patient safety in hospitals and healthcare facilities across the country. For over a decade, CareView has relentlessly pursued innovative ways to increase patient protection, providing next generation solutions that lower operational costs and foster a culture of safety among patients, staff, and hospital leadership. With installations in more than 150 hospitals, CareView has proven that its innovative technology is creating a culture of patient safety where patient falls have decreased by 80% and sitter costs reduced by more than 65%. Anchored by the CareView Patient Safety System® and CareView Patient Care SystemTM, this modular, scalable solution delivers flexible configurations to fit any facility while significantly increasing patient safety, care, and operational savings. All configurations feature HD cameras, high-fidelity 2-way audio/video, LCD displays for the ultimate in capability, flexibility, and affordability.
SitterView® and TeleMedView™ allows hospital staff to use CareView’s high-quality video cameras with pan-tilt-zoom and 2-way video functionality to observe and communicate with patients remotely. With CareView, hospitals are safely monitoring more patients while providing a higher level of care by leveraging CareView’s patented technology, a portfolio that includes 40 patents. TeleMedView leverages the CareView Mobile Controller’s built-in monitor and can work with the CareView Portable Controller as well. Usage of SitterView and TeleMedView has increased in response to a growing demand for remote patient monitoring driven by increasing demands for care and staffing shortages in the healthcare industry.
The CareView Patient Safety System enables virtual nursing workflows for patient observation, companionship, care concierge, and administrative tasks can ease workloads and improve care delivery. Hybrid patient care, the combination of bedside and virtual care, allows hospitals to keep nurses working at the top of their licenses and creates flexible and scalable workforce options. CareView’s integrations with existing clinical workflow and patient engagement tools allow providers to access patient rooms virtually from within the EHR workflow. CareView then becomes the centralized hub for a patient-centric, interconnected virtual care system.
In October 2022, CareView received Innovative Technology Designation after the Innovative Technology Exchange in Dallas, Texas. Every year, healthcare experts serving on the member-led councils of Vizient, Inc., (“Vizient”), the nation’s largest healthcare performance improvement company, review select products and technologies for their potential to enhance clinical care, patient safety, healthcare worker safety or to improve business operations of healthcare organizations. Vizient’s diverse membership and customer base includes academic medical centers, pediatric facilities, community hospitals, integrated health delivery networks, and non-acute health care providers, and represents more than $130 billion in annual purchase volume. Technology designations are awarded to previously contracted products to signal to healthcare providers the impact of these innovations on patient care and business models of healthcare organizations.
CareView Patient Safety System
Our CareView Patient Safety System provides innovative ways to increase patient protection, provides advanced solutions that lower operational costs, and helps hospitals foster a culture of safety among patients, staff, and hospital leadership. We understand the importance of providing high quality patient care in a safe environment and believe in partnering with hospitals to improve the quality of patient care and safety by providing a system that monitors continuously. We are committed to providing an affordable video monitoring tool to improve the practice of nursing, create a better work environment and make the patient’s hospital stay more satisfying. Our suite of products and services can simplify and streamline the task of preventing and managing patients’ falls, enhance patient safety, improve quality of care, and reduce costs. Our products and services can be used in all types of hospitals, nursing homes, adult living centers, and selected outpatient care facilities domestically and internationally.
The CareView Patient Safety System includes CareView’s SitterView, providing a clear picture of up to 40 patients at once, allowing staff to intervene and document patient risks more quickly. SitterView features intuitive decision support pathway, guiding staff alarm response and pan- tilt-zoom functionality, allowing staff to home in on areas of interest. CareView’s new Analytics Dashboard provides real-time metrics on utilization, compliance, and outcome data by day, week, month, and quarter. Outcomes are automatically compared to organizational goals to evaluate real-time ROI.
CareView’s next generation of in-room camera; the CareView Controller features an HD camera, high-fidelity 2-way audio, and an LCD display, harnessing increased performance to deliver the ultimate in capability, flexibility, and affordability for all types of hospitals. Building on top of CareView’s patented Virtual Bed Rails® and Virtual Chair Rails® predictive technology, the CareView Controller uses machine learning to differentiate between normal patient movements and behaviors of a patient at risk. This technology results in less false alarms, faster staff intervention, and a significant reduction in patient falls.
The CareView Controller is available in multiple configurations for permanent or temporary situations; the CareView Mobile, Portable, and Fixed Controller. For situations that demand that the camera come to the patient, the CareView Mobile Controller on wheels comes with an uninterrupted external power supply for situations where power may not be readily available and can operate on the facility’s wireless network. For monitoring patients within a general care unit, the CareView Portable Controller can be easily removed from mounts and moved where the workflow dictates, making this application perfect for general use. For high-risk patient rooms where behavior and self-harm may be a factor, or where a patient must be continuously monitored, the CareView Fixed Controller can be installed seamlessly in the ceiling tiles leaving no exposed wiring making it ligature resistant.
The CareView Patient Safety System can be easily configured to meet the individual privacy and security requirements of any hospital or nursing facility. CareView is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and certified by HITRUST. Additional HIPAA-compliant features allow privacy options to be enabled at any time by the patient, nurse, or physician.
CareView Patient Safety System Products and Services Agreement with Healthcare Facilities
CareView’s subscription-based model is offered to healthcare facilities through a Products and Services Agreement (the “P&S Agreement(s)”). During the term of the P&S Agreement, we provide continuous monitoring of the CareView Patient Safety System products and services deployed to a healthcare facility and maintain and service all equipment installed by us. Under the subscription-based model, terms of each P&S Agreement require the healthcare facility to pay us a monthly fee based on the number of selected, installed, and activated services. None of the services provided through the Primary Package are paid or reimbursed by any third-party provider including insurance companies, Medicare, or Medicaid. We also enter into corporate-wide agreements with healthcare companies (the “Master Agreement(s)”), wherein the healthcare companies enter into individual facility level agreements that are substantially like our P&S Agreements.
Master Agreements and P&S Agreements are currently negotiated for a period of three years with a provision for automatic renewal. P&S Agreements specific to pilot programs (“P&S Pilot Agreements”) contain pricing terms substantially like P&S Agreements, are generally three or six-months in length and can be extended on a month-to-month basis as required. Regarding the subscription-based model, we own all rights, title, and interest in and to the equipment we install at each location and agree to maintain and repair it; although, we may charge for repairs or replacements due to damage or misuse. We are not responsible for maintaining data arising from use of the CareView Patient Safety System or for transmission errors, corruption or compromise of data carried over local or interchange telecommunication carriers. We grant each healthcare facility a limited, revocable, non-transferable, and nonexclusive license to use the software, network facilities, content, and documentation on and in the CareView Patient Safety System to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to access, explore and otherwise use the CareView Patient Safety System in real time. Such non-exclusive license expires upon termination of the P&S Agreement.
We use specific terminology to better define and track the staging and billing of the individual components of the CareView Patient Safety System. The CareView Patient Safety System includes three components which are separately billed; the CareView Controller (previously known as RCP), the CareView SitterView Monitor, and the CareView Application Server (each component referred to as a “unit”). The term “bed” refers to each healthcare facility bed as part of the overall potential volume that a healthcare facility represents. For example, if a healthcare facility has 200 beds, the aggregate of those beds is the overall potential volume of that healthcare facility. The term “bed” is often used interchangeably with “CareView Controller” as this component of the CareView Patient Safety System consistently resides within each room where the “bed” is located. On average, there are six SitterView Monitors for each 100 beds. The term “deployed” means that the units have been delivered to the healthcare facility but have not yet been installed at their respective locations within the facility. The term “installed” means that the units have been mounted and are operational. The term “billable” refers to the aggregate of all units on which we charge fees. Units become billable once they are installed and the required personnel have been trained in their use. Units are only deployed upon the execution of a P&S Agreement or P&S Pilot Agreement.
CareView Patent Safety System Sales-Based Model
CareView’s sales-based model commenced with the introduction of our updated technology. CareView has also aligned its contracting model to meet the preferred acquisition model in the hospital industry. CareView now sells its proprietary equipment to facilities in lieu of lending the equipment as defined under the subscription-based model. In doing so, the facility is billed for the hardware on acceptance of the contract. After CareView’s equipment is delivered to the facility, CareView begins the process of installing and securely integrating the equipment and software. Upon completion of installation, training, and “go-live”; referring to all systems in full operation, CareView bills the facility for the installation, training, and an annual software license fee. CareView will continue to bill the facility an annual software license fee until the end of the contract. The shift to the sales-based model has an immediate impact on our operations resulting in greater cash flow within 30 days of contract signing.
CareView continues its dedication to provide service and support on a 24x7x365 basis for every customer under every contract.
CareView Connect
Our mission is to be the leading provider of resident monitoring products and services for the long-term care industry. We took what we learned in our medical facility business and applied it to developing a product to serve the long-term care market. With CareView Connect Quality of Life® System (“CareView Connect”), CareView has again positioned itself as a technology leader with its innovative suite of products specifically designed for all aspects of the long-term care market, including Nursing Care, Home Care, Assisted Living and Independent Living.
With this mission in mind, in the second quarter of 2018, the Company introduced a new sensor product with application in both the assisted living center market and the home health market. CareView Connect leverages both passive and active sensors to track the activities of daily life. CareView Connect provides peace of mind by using data from the resident’s activity, existing conditions, and environment to notify a caregiver of potential emergencies and identify the need for dignified support. CareView Connect consists of a small emergency assist button, two motion sensors, one sleep sensor, and one event sensor. Resident activity levels, medication administration, sleep patterns, and requests for assistance can all be monitored depending on which options are selected.
The skilled nursing home market consists of approximately 2,000,000 beds, which is double the size of the current hospital/healthcare facility bed market. The assisted living center market is even larger at approximately 3,000,000 beds. Our products flow naturally into the nursing home space as it is substantially the same setting as hospital rooms.
CareView Connect is a platform consisting of several products and applications targeted at improving the level of care and efficiency. CareView built a cohesive and tightly integrated solution that solves several problems that long-term care facilities face. We offer an array of wearable and stationary buttons that allow a resident to summon help either for an emergency or assistance, which can be anything from toileting help to assistance putting on their shoes. We offer a mobile app capable of delivering an alert to the caregiver and allows them to document information around that alert, how long before the alert was handled and, what was the cause of the alert, and if it was not acknowledged in a timely manner then the alert is escalated to another individual or group. This ensures that every alert is responded to in a timely manner and is verifiable.
Alert Management and Monitoring System
CareView Connect provides a suite of hardware and software that facilitates a data-driven solution for alert management and monitoring. CareView Connect’s solution provides additional context, including location of the resident, which improves response time by the staff. The alert system includes a documentation platform that allows the facility’s staff to classify the reason for alerts and provides metrics around response time. CareView Connect’s solution involves several passive sensors that monitor the resident.
Caregiver Platform
The caregiver platform includes a “Leave of Absence” component, which allows the facility to document when the resident is outside of their room for a duration of time. This information is incorporated with known data from the workflows and sensors to improve awareness. The Caregiver Connect mobile application provides a convenient and intuitive interface to the CareView Connect platform. The caregiver can use the mobile app to capture important information and interface with critical workflows, such as acknowledging and documenting alert presses by the resident. CareView Connect also provides a product focused on capturing and measuring the mental state and pain experienced by the resident. “How are you feeling today?” provides a convenient way to capture information about the mental state of the resident using emojis. Similarly, “What is your pain today?” allows the staff to categorize and document pain. Connect Resident is a tablet application intended for the resident’s direct use. This product currently supports video conferencing with a remote caregiver, becoming a communications conduit for telehealth. Connect Resident also supports “How are you feeling today?”, which allows the resident to submit this information directly.
Quality of Life Metrics
CareView developed its own algorithm for measuring quality of life based on “best of breed” research and leveraging the data collected by the platform. CareView Connect’s Quality of Life Metrics focuses on several categories, including Physical Activity, Bodily Pain, General Health, Vitality, Social Interaction, Mental Health, and Sleep Quality. Leveraging this data, the facility and their staff have improved visibility into the health and well-being of their residents. By applying machine learning and predictive analytics, subtle patterns and trends that may not otherwise be visible become actionable. The facility can use this information to present a more compassionate and capable level of care, differentiating the facility from their competition. The Quality-of-Life Metrics information can be made available to the family and loved ones, opening a new channel of remote awareness and care. Because the information is collected automatically, the family gains awareness on issues of which their loved ones may normally be unaware. The Connect Family mobile application allows family members to monitor their loved one and receive alerts and notifications based on their preferences.
Pricing Structure and Revenue Streams
The CareView Connect suite of products and services offers multiple pricing models. We work with each facility on pricing to offer an affordable package based on the demographics of the residents of the facility. The pricing structure with each facility is negotiated separately. Typically, we offer the CareView Connect basic package at a price per monitored room with varying price structures based on number of sensors and number of residents in each facility.
Purchasing Agreement with Decisive Point Consulting Group, LLC
On February 2, 2021, we partnered with Decisive Point Consulting Group, a Department of Veterans Affairs Contractor Verification Enterprise (CVE) and a Verified Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), to expand our reach within the VA hospitals and Community Living Centers space. Our partnership reflects our desire to collaborate with companies that share our vision of patient safety. We continue to use this partnership to contract with VA hospitals and their Community Living Centers (“CLC”).

The sales-based model was added to the MAS, which allows us to sell the proprietary hardware and license the software on an annualized basis. The MAS is one of the most widely accepted government contract vehicles available to agency procurement officers. GSA’s application process requires potential vendors to be recognized as highly credible and well established. CareView is the sole source provider. Our products and services represent an enormous opportunity to improve the health and safety of our Nation’s veterans.
Group Purchasing Agreement with HealthTrust Purchasing Group, LP
On December 14, 2016, the Company entered a Group Purchasing Agreement with HealthTrust Purchasing Group, L.P. (“HealthTrust”) (the “HealthTrust GPO Agreement”), the Nation’s only committed-model Group Purchasing Organization (“GPO”) headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. HealthTrust serves approximately 1,600 acute care facilities and members in more than 26,000 other locations, including ambulatory surgery centers, physician practices, long-term care, and alternate care sites. The agreement was effective on January 1, 2017 and all CareView System components and modules are available for purchase by HealthTrust’s exclusive membership. HealthTrust members may order CareView’s products and services included in the agreement directly from CareView.
On October 1, 2018, the Company added CareView Connect to the HealthTrust GPO Agreement.
On November 1, 2020, the sales-based contract model was added to the HealthTrust GPO Agreement which allows us to sell the proprietary hardware and license the software on an annualized basis. On December 1, 2021, the HealthTrust GPO Agreement was renewed for another 3-year term. We continue to work with HealthTrust and their members to expand contracts.

Revenue
Revenue decreased approximately $493,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was attributable to no new customer equipment sales in the third quarter.

Human resource related costs (including salaries and benefits and non-cash compensation) increased approximately $545,000 due to higher payroll with more employees, 2024 stock option awards, and sales commissions during the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Product deployment costs decreased approximately $137,000 due to decrease in cost of sales of hardware and associated installation, training and go-live. Professional and consulting costs decreased approximately $89,000 due to having employees vs. consultants. Travel and entertainment costs increased approximately $3,000 due to increase cost of travel. For the comparable periods, other expenses decreased approximately $147,000, primarily as a result of advertising and marketing, R&D, business insurance and patent expenses.
Other, net
Other non-operating income and expense decreased by approximately $40,000, or 5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 in comparison to the same period in 2023, primarily because of no debt restructuring costs while earning higher interest with more cash in bank.
Net Loss
As a result of the factors above, our third quarter 2024 net loss of approximately $1,470,000, increased approximately $600,000, or 69%, as compared to approximately $870,000 net loss for the third quarter of 2023.

Revenue
Revenue decreased approximately $1,808,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was attributable to only one new customer sale in the nine-month period.
Other, net increased approximately $158,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was attributable to the no debt restructuring costs while earning higher interest with more cash in bank.

Operating expenses decreased by a net 4% of approximately $311,000. The decrease was attributable to other expenses of approximately $389,000 less than comparable period from no debt-to-equity conversion costs, less advertising and marketing, renegotiated business insurance, less R&D and no Dell financing. The Professional and consulting costs of approximately $288,000 lower than the comparable period is attributed to not using Centri Business Consulting, Danielle Lewis Marketing Services and attorneys. Additionally, lower depreciation and amortization and product deployment further netted out the increase in human resource related costs.
Net Loss
Year-To-date 2024 net loss of approximately $3,600,000 increased approximately $1,339,000 or 59%, as compared to approximately $2,261,000 net loss for the comparable nine months of 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Accounting standards require management to evaluate whether the Company can continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q (“evaluation period”). In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, management considers the conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months after the Company issues its financial statements. For the period ended September 30, 2024, management considers the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows, and the Company’s conditional and unconditional obligations due before November 13, 2025.
The Company is subject to risks like those of healthcare technology companies whereby revenues are generated based on both on a sales-based and subscription-based business model such as dependence on key individuals, uncertainty of product development, generation of revenues, positive cash flow, dependence on outside sources of capital, risks associated with research, development, and successful testing of its products, successful protection of intellectual property, ability to maintain and grow its customer base, and susceptibility to infringement on the proprietary rights of others. The attainment of profitable operations is dependent on future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill the Company’s growth and operating activities and generating a level of revenues adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.
The Company has experienced net losses and significant cash outflows from cash used in operating activities over the past years. As of and for the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $211,485,106, loss from operations of $1,470,655, net cash provided by operating activities of $392,966, and an ending cash balance of $1,400,386.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficit of $40,269,985 consisting primarily of PDL notes payables including accrued interest. Management has evaluated the significance of the conditions described above in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations and concluded that, without additional funding, the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its obligations within one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. While management will look to continue funding operations by increased sales volumes and raising additional capital from sources such as sales of its debt or equity securities or loans to meet operating cash requirements, there is no assurance that management’s plans will be successful. The Company’s net losses, cash outflows, and working capital deficit raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through November 13, 2025.
On March 8, 2022, we agreed with the HealthCor Parties to (i) amend the 2011 HealthCor Notes to extend the maturity date of the 2011 HealthCor Notes from April 20, 2022 to April 20, 2023 by entering into Allonge No. 4 to the 2011 HealthCor Notes (the “Third 2011 Note Allonges”) and (ii) amend the 2012 HealthCor Notes to extend the maturity date of the 2012 HealthCor Notes from April 20, 2022 to April 20, 2023 by entering into Allonge No. 4 to the 2012 HealthCor Notes (the “Fourth 2012 Note Allonges”) (such amendments to the 2011 HealthCor Notes and 2012 HealthCor Notes together, the “HealthCor Note Extensions”). In connection with the HealthCor Note Extensions, we issued the HealthCor parties warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price per share equal to $0.09 per share (subject to adjustment as described therein) and with an expiration date of March 08, 2032 (collectively the “2021 HealthCor Warrants”).
On December 30, 2022, the Company entered into a consent and agreement to cancel and exchange existing notes and issue replacement notes and cancel warrants (the “Cancellation Agreement”) with certain holders (the “Investors”) of senior secured convertible promissory notes (“Notes”) and warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase the Company’s common stock, that were issued pursuant to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 21, 2011 (as amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time) (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Cancellation Agreement provided for the cancellation of all outstanding Notes and Warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement in exchange for the issuance of replacement senior secured convertible promissory notes (the “Replacement Notes”) with an aggregate principal amount of $44,200,000. The maturity date of the Replacement Notes was December 31, 2023. No interest accrues on the Replacement Notes. As of June 30, 2023, all replacement notes were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.10 per share.
On March 30, 2023, investors holding an aggregate of $26,200,000 of Replacement Notes exercised their right to convert the debt into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.10 per share (the “First Tranche”). Upon conversion, the Company issued the investors in the First Tranche an aggregate of 262,000,000 shares. The First Tranche only converted 50% of the HealthCor Replacement Notes. Due to the insufficient number of the Company’s available authorized shares of common stock, a shareholder vote to authorize an increase in the Company’s authorized shares of common stock to 800,000,000 was approved on May 26, 2023.
Effective May 22, 2023, the Company’s increased its authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 shares to 800,000,000 shares.
On May 24, 2023, noteholders owning an aggregate of $18,000,000 Replacement Notes, provided the Company with a Conversion Notice, pursuant to the terms of the Replacement Notes, to convert the Replacement Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 180,000,000 shares.
Management continues to monitor the immediate and future cash flow needs of the Company in a variety of ways which include forecasted net cash flows from operations, capital expenditure control, new inventory orders, debt modifications, increases sales outreach, streamlining and controlling general and administrative costs, competitive industry pricing, sale of equities, debt conversions, new product or services offerings, and new business partnerships.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. A successful transition to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of positive cash flows adequate to support the Company’s cost structure.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Commission on March 29, 2024 and incorporated herein by reference, for detailed explanation of our critical accounting estimates, which have not changed significantly during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Recently Issued and Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
We do not expect that the adoption of any recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recent Events
None.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
None.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our management, including Steve G. Johnson, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and principal executive officer, and Jason T. Thompson, our principal financial officer and chief accounting officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and principal financial and chief accounting officer, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and principal financial and chief accounting officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024 due to the continuing existence of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below (which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures). Based on the performance of additional procedures designed to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting, we believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods, presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
Material Weakness and Remediation Plan
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has determined that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of the quarter ended September 30, 2024 due to the existence of the material weaknesses described below.
Management determined that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2024, due to the existence of the following material weaknesses:
| ● |
It was determined that the Company does not have effective controls over the identification and evaluation of the GAAP accounting for certain complex transactions in the areas of revenues, debt, and income taxes, due to a lack of technical expertise. |
|
|
Based on additional procedures and post-closing review, Management concluded that the consolidated financial statements including this report present fairly, in all material respects, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles accepted in the United States.
We began to take steps to address our material weaknesses, through our remediation plan. We implemented the following measures:
| ● |
Identify and employ additional full-time highly qualified accounting personnel to join the corporate accounting function to enhance overall monitoring, maintain standard internal controls, and accounting oversight within the Company. |
| ● |
Implement enhanced documentation associated with management review controls and validation of the completeness and accuracy of financial reporting and key management financial reports. |
| ● |
Provide training of standard operating procedures and internal controls to key stakeholders within the supply chain, logistics, and inventory processes. |
| ● |
Enhance and automate existing internal control to ensure proper authorization, review, and recording of financial transactions. |
| ● |
On an as-needed basis, identify and engage certain third-party subject matter experts to assist with the preparation and reporting of complex business and accounting transactions. |
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluations pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Controls
Our management can provide no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting can prevent all errors and all fraud under all circumstances. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been or will be detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
None.
