GUIDED THERAPEUTICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly SpectRx, Inc.), together with its wholly owned subsidiary, InterScan, Inc. (formerly Guided Therapeutics, Inc.), collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, is a medical technology company focused on developing innovative medical devices that have the potential to improve healthcare. The Company’s primary focus is the continued commercialization of its LuViva non-invasive cervical cancer detection device and extension of its cancer detection technology into other cancers, including esophageal. The Company’s technology, including products in research and development, primarily relates to biophotonics technology for the non-invasive detection of cancers.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The December 31, 2025 balances reported herein are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the full year.
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 have been included. Amounts are reported in thousands of dollars, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted.
The Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by entrants into the medical device industry. This industry is characterized by an increasing number of participants, intense competition and a high failure rate. The Company has experienced net losses since its inception and, as of March 31, 2026, it had an accumulated deficit of approximately $
Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming it will continue as a going concern. The factors below raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.
At March 31, 2026, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 areas where estimates are used include the inventory valuation, valuation of share-based compensation, the valuation of the deferred compensation conversion liability, and the valuation of the convertible note payable derivative liability. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt, which clarifies the accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of convertible debt instruments that are induced by the issuer. The guidance requires entities to recognize, as an expense in the period incurred, the incremental fair value of consideration transferred to induce conversion, to the extent the transaction qualifies as an induced conversion.
The Company adopted this guidance on a prospective basis during the three months ended March 31, 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized an inducement charge of approximately $78 related to the conversion of a convertible note and accrued interest into common stock, which included the issuance of warrants as additional consideration to induce conversion. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”) Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public business entities to provide additional disaggregated expense disclosures in both annual and interim periods. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, which clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03. As clarified, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under consideration by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, management has not yet determined the effect, if any, that the implementation of such proposed standards would have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be a cash equivalent.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains a cash balance in a financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain federal limitations. At times, the Company’s cash balance exceeds these federal limitations. The amount in excess of insured limitations was $
Inventory Valuation
All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined substantially on a “first-in, first-out” basis. Selling, general, and administrative expenses are not inventoried, but are charged to expense when incurred. The following schedule presents a summary of inventories by major class:

The company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Depreciation and amortization expense are included in general and administrative expense on the statements of operations. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The following schedule presents a summary of property, equipment and leasehold improvements, net:

Depreciation expense related to property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was not material.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the associated debt. Debt issuance costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability consistent with the debt discount.
Patent Costs (Principally Legal Fees)
Costs incurred in filing, prosecuting, and maintaining patents are recurring, and expensed as incurred. Costs for maintaining patents are expensed as incurred as the Company has not yet received U.S. FDA approval and recovery of these costs is uncertain. Such costs were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Leases
A lease provides the lessee the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.
Where an operating lease contains extension options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, the extension period is included in the calculation of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
The discount rate used to determine the commencement date present value of lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease, or when that is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its secured borrowing rate. Right-of-use assets include any lease payments required to be made prior to commencement and exclude lease incentives. Both right-of-use assets and lease liabilities exclude variable payments not based on an index or rate, which are treated as period costs. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain significant residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants. See Note 6 – “Commitments and Contingencies.”

Revenue Recognition
ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, establishes a single and comprehensive framework which sets out how much revenue is to be recognized, and when. The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the vendor expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized when control over the goods or services is transferred to the customer. For the Company, revenue is primarily generated from the sale of medical devices and related components, and in certain circumstances may also include service, licensing, or distribution arrangements. The application of the core principle in ASC 606 is carried out in five steps:
| · | Step 1 – Identify the contract with a customer: a contract is defined as an agreement (including oral and implied), between two or more parties, that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for each of those rights and obligations. The contract needs to have commercial substance and it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled. In the medical device industry, contracts may include sales agreements with hospitals, clinics, distributors, or international partners. |
|
|
|
| · | Step 2 – Identify the performance obligations in the contract: a performance obligation in a contract is a promise (including implicit) to transfer a good or service to the customer. Each performance obligation should be capable of being distinct and is separately identifiable in the contract. For the Company, performance obligations typically consist of the delivery of medical devices, related disposables or accessories, and in certain arrangements may include installation services, training, technical support, or other post-delivery obligations. |
|
|
|
| · | Step 3 – Determine the transaction price: transaction price is the amount of consideration that the entity can be entitled to, in exchange for transferring the promised goods and services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Transaction prices for the Company’s products include fixed prices stated in purchase orders or distribution agreements. |
|
|
|
| · | Step 4 – Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations: If a contract contains multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price of each promised good or service. Standalone selling prices are determined using observable market prices when available or estimated using appropriate pricing methods. |
|
|
|
| · | Step 5 – Recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied: Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services transfers to the customer. For product sales, this generally occurs at a point in time when the device is shipped or delivered to the customer in accordance with the contractual shipping terms. Revenue related to services or other ongoing obligations, if any, is recognized over the period in which the services are performed. |
The Company’s revenues do not require significant estimates or judgments and are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, which occurs at a point in time, most frequently upon shipment of the product or receipt of the product, depending on shipment terms. Revenue is measured as the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company does not offer returns, discounts, loyalty programs or other sales incentive programs that are material to revenue recognition. The Company is not party to contracts that include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration.
The Company evaluated its arrangements under the principal versus agent guidance in ASC 606 and determined that it acts as the principal in its revenue arrangements because it controls the specified goods prior to transfer to the customer, is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the goods and has discretion in establishing pricing. Accordingly, revenue is recognized on a gross basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, all of the Company’s revenue was generated from sales to customers located in China.

Contract Balances
The Company defers payments received as revenue until earned based on the related contracts and applying ASC 606 as required. Deferred revenue totaled $
The Company did not have material contract asset balances as of the periods presented.
Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are recorded net of allowances for chargebacks, cash discounts for prompt payment and credit losses. The Company estimates an allowance for expected credit losses by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. The corresponding expense for the credit loss allowance is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses. The credit loss allowance was immaterial as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist of expenditures for research conducted by the Company and payments made under contracts with consultants or other outside parties and costs associated with internal and contracted clinical trials. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expense are expected to be settled in our income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company has filed its 2025 federal and state corporate tax returns. Although the Company has been experiencing recurring losses, it is required to file tax returns for compliance with IRS regulations and that of applicable state jurisdictions. At December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $
The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions based on a benefit recognition model. Provided that the tax position is deemed more likely than not of being sustained, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than
Warrants
The Company has issued warrants, which allow the warrant holder to purchase one share of stock at a specified price for a specified period of time. The Company records equity instruments including warrants based on the fair value at the date of issue. The fair value of warrants classified as equity instruments at the date of issuance is estimated using the Black-Scholes or binomial option pricing models.
The Company evaluates all warrants to determine whether they should be classified as equity or liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40. Warrants that are not indexed to the Company's own stock or that require net cash settlement are classified as liabilities and measured at fair value each reporting period. As of the periods presented, the Company had no outstanding liability-classified warrants.
| 15 |
| Table of Contents |
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock-based awards in accordance with ASC Subtopic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires fair value measurement on the grant date and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors. The Company determines the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes model. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based upon the quoted market price of the shares of common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of stock-based awards is expensed over the requisite service periods of the awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur.
Certain share-based awards provide for settlement at the employee's election, including conversion features embedded in deferred compensation arrangements. When the employee, rather than the Company, controls the settlement method, the award does not meet the criteria for equity classification and is instead classified as a liability under ASC 718. Liability-classified awards are initially measured at fair value on the grant date and remeasured to fair value at each subsequent reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized as compensation cost or a reduction thereof in the period of change. The liability is presented separately on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as "Deferred compensation conversion liability, at fair value." The fair value of liability-classified awards is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, consistent with the methodology described below.
The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of certain assumptions that require the Company’s judgment, including the expected term and the expected stock price volatility of the underlying stock. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change resulting in the use of different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized $
Derivatives
The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt issued to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” clarifies that fair value is an 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. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| · | Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company can access at the measurement date. |
|
|
|
| · | Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than level 1 prices 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. |
|
|
|
| · | Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s judgment about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. |
| 16 |
| Table of Contents |
An asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques noted in ASC 820:
| · | Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
| · | Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). |
|
|
|
| · | Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount |
The Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, however the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

4. STOCK OPTIONS
The Company’s Stock Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, and stock purchase rights. The exercise price of options was determined by the Company’s board of directors, but incentive stock options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date. Options generally vest over three years and expire ten years from the date of grant. The aggregate number of common shares that may be issued or reserved pursuant to stock option or other awards under the plan may not exceed
In addition to awards granted under the Plan, the Company issued stock options outside of the Plan that were approved by the Board of Directors. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted

Because settlement into equity is at the employee's election, the conversion feature does not qualify for equity classification and is accounted for as a liability-classified award under ASC 718. Accordingly, the conversion feature is measured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized as compensation cost or a reduction thereof in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the fair value of the conversion feature was determined based on its intrinsic value, representing the excess of the Company's closing stock price over the $0.25 conversion price. Accordingly, the Company recognized $
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company's stock price fell below the $0.25 conversion price, rendering the feature out-of-the-money. Accordingly, the fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which captures the remaining time value of the conversion right. The model utilized an expected term of approximately
As a result of the remeasurement, the Company recognized a reduction in compensation cost of approximately $

On January 22, 2017, we entered into a license agreement with Shandong Yaohua Medical Instrument Corporation (“SMI”), as amended on March 28, 2017, pursuant to which we granted SMI an exclusive global license to manufacture the LuViva device and related disposables (subject to a carve-out for manufacturing in Turkey). On December 18, 2018, we entered into a co-development agreement with Newmars Technologies, Inc. (“NTI”), whereby NTI performs final assembly of the LuViva device for its contracted distribution countries in Eastern Europe and Russia at its ISO 13485 facility in Hungary. This additional carve-out was agreed to by SMI.

Contingencies
The conflict in Ukraine, which has already affected global financial markets, continues to create uncertainty that could impact the Company’s operating business. Although approval to market and sell the Company’s products in Russia was granted on August 11, 2025, ongoing geopolitical tensions could still disrupt supply chains, distribution activities, or future regulatory interactions within the region. The ultimate impact of the conflict remains highly uncertain, and the Company cannot provide assurance that it will not have a material adverse effect on its operations, financial condition, or future regulatory matters.
Recent conflicts and heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have contributed to increased uncertainty in global financial markets and may result in volatility in commodity prices, including oil and natural gas, as well as disruptions to international trade routes. Any escalation or expansion of these conflicts could adversely affect global supply chains, increase transportation and energy costs, and create additional regulatory or economic uncertainty. While the conflicts had no direct effect on us in the first quarter of 2026, the indirect effects of continued instability could adversely impact the Company’s operations, financial condition, and results of operations.
In 2025, the U.S. government invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") to impose broad tariffs on imports from China and other trading partners, creating significant uncertainty with respect to future tax and trade regulations and the potential competitive effects of such actions. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that IEEPA does not authorize the imposition of tariffs, and all IEEPA-based tariffs were terminated effective February 24, 2026. Following the ruling, the administration announced a 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which is set to expire on July 23, 2026, absent further action.
The Company's primary exposure to tariff-related risk arises not from U.S. import tariffs but from China's retaliatory trade measures and broader geopolitical and trade uncertainty, given that the Company's revenue is derived primarily from the sale of medical devices to customers in China. Although the countries in which our products are manufactured or imported may from time to time impose additional quotas, duties, tariffs, or other restrictions, or adversely modify existing ones, we have established an auxiliary manufacturing site in Hungary. This strategic initiative helps mitigate our exposure to tariffs targeting Chinese imports and limits the overall impact on our operations. Nevertheless, it remains unclear what the U.S. administration or foreign governments will do with respect to tariffs, tax policies, or other international trade agreements going forward. A trade war, other governmental actions related to tariffs or international trade agreements, or changes in U.S. or foreign social, political, regulatory and economic conditions—especially as they relate to manufacturing and investment—could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.

On January 8, 2026, the Company issued a note with a principal balance of $
The Diagonal Notes contain conversion features that become exercisable upon the occurrence of an event of default and provide for settlement at a variable conversion price based on market conditions. The Company evaluated these features and determined that they meet the definition of derivative instruments and are not clearly and closely related to the host debt. Accordingly, the conversion features were bifurcated and accounted for as derivative liabilities. The derivative liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and remeasured at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings (see Note 11 for additional information on fair value measurements).
The Diagonal Notes contain customary covenants, including restrictions on the disposition of significant assets. Upon an event of default, amounts outstanding under the Diagonal Notes become immediately due and payable at 150% of the then-outstanding balance, including accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, upon an event of default, the holder may elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding balance into shares of common stock at the variable conversion price described above.
As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Diagonal Notes was $

The note contains a conversion feature that becomes exercisable upon an event of default and provides for settlement at a variable conversion price equal to 65% of the lowest trading price of the Company's common stock during the fifteen trading days prior to conversion. The Company evaluated this feature and determined that it meets the definition of a derivative instrument and is not clearly and closely related to the host debt. Accordingly, the conversion feature was bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability, initially recorded at fair value and remeasured at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings (see Note 11 for additional information on fair value measurements).

On August 27, 2025, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to Labrys Fund II, L.P. (“Labrys”) with a principal balance of $
The note contains a conversion feature that becomes exercisable upon an event of default or missed payment and provides for settlement at a variable conversion price equal to 75% of the average of the two lowest closing prices of the Company’s common stock during the ten trading days preceding conversion, subject to customary adjustments.
The Company evaluated the embedded conversion feature and determined that it meets the definition of a derivative instrument and is not clearly and closely related to the host debt. Accordingly, the conversion feature was bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability, initially recorded at fair value as a debt discount and remeasured at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

Executive Deferred Compensation Notes Payable
The Company has outstanding promissory notes payable to Dr. Mark Faupel, Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. Gene Cartwright, former Chief Executive Officer, related to previously deferred compensation and other obligations. These notes were originally issued in 2018 and subsequently restructured and amended on multiple occasions. Dr. Faupel's note, which had a prior maturity date of February 19, 2026, was extended pursuant to a new promissory note dated April 30, 2026, with terms retroactively applied as of February 19, 2026 and a new maturity date of August 18, 2027. Accordingly, Dr. Faupel's note is classified as long-term as of March 31, 2026 and is not considered past due as of March 31, 2026. Dr. Cartwright's note, which had a maturity date of February 18, 2023, remains past due as of March 31, 2026 and continues to accrue interest.

10. INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders, amounts are computed by dividing the net income (loss) plus preferred stock dividends and deemed dividends on preferred stock by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders amounts are computed by dividing the net income (loss) plus preferred stock dividends, deemed dividends on preferred stock, after-tax interest on convertible debt and convertible dividends by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, plus convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, convertible preferred dividends, warrants and stock options convertible into common stock shares.
During a period of net loss, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same as the assumed exercise of warrants and the conversion of convertible debt and preferred stock are anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, all stock options, convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, convertible deferred compensation and warrants were anti-dilutive and were therefore excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share. At March 31, 2026 and 2025, these instruments were convertible into

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company measures certain liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including derivative liabilities arising from bifurcated conversion features on convertible debt instruments accounted for under ASC 815, and a deferred compensation conversion liability classified under ASC 718. Both are considered Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820.
Derivative Liabilities — ASC 815
The convertible notes payable derivative liabilities are considered Level 3 measurements due to the significant unobservable inputs in the valuation, which are based on a forecast of the Company's future stock performance and, as the note payable is contingently convertible upon an event of default, management's estimate of the likelihood and timing of conversion.
Management utilized a pricing model simulation based on the terms of the bifurcated conversion features, which projects potential future stock prices using the Company’s historical volatility. The model estimates a variable conversion price as of an assumed future conversion date, based on management’s best estimate of the timing and probability of conversion.
The key inputs to the valuation model that was utilized to estimate the fair value of the bifurcated conversion option included:
| · | The forecasted future stock prices were determined using historical stock prices and the Company’s equity volatility. |
| · | The expected conversion price was determined using the forecast and the contractual term of the convertible note agreements. |
| · | The probability of an event of default and timing of a future conversion are based on management’s best estimate of the future settlements of the convertible notes. |
Deferred Compensation Conversion Liability — ASC 718
The deferred compensation conversion liability represents the fair value of the conversion feature embedded in the CEO's deferred compensation arrangement, which is classified as a liability under ASC 718 because settlement into common stock is at the employee's election. The fair value is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at each reporting date.
While several inputs to the Black-Scholes model are observable — including the Company's stock price, historical volatility, and the risk-free rate — the expected term represents a significant unobservable input, as it requires management's estimate of when the employee will elect to convert. The significance of the expected term assumption is further heightened by the fact that as of March 31, 2026, the conversion feature is out-of-the-money, with the Company's stock price of $0.23 below the $0.25 conversion price. As a result, the fair value of the feature is driven primarily by time value rather than intrinsic value, making the expected term the most significant input to the measurement. Accordingly, the liability is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
The key inputs as of March 31, 2026 were as follows: expected term of approximately

12. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company is not organized by multiple operating segments for the purpose of making operating decisions or assessing performance. Accordingly, the Company operates in one reportable operating segment. The Company’s principal decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer. Management believes that its business operates as one reportable segment because: a) the Company measures profit and loss as a whole; b) the principal decision maker does not review information based on any operating segment; c) the Company does not maintain discrete financial information on any specific segment; d) the Company has not chosen to organize its business around different products and services, and e) the Company has not chosen to organize its business around geographic areas. Since the Company operates as one operating segment, financial segment information, including profit or loss and asset information, can be found in the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act), which provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements made by us. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, including statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, beliefs, business strategies, future events, business conditions, results of operations, financial position, business outlook, business trends, and other information, may be forward-looking statements. Words such as “might,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “estimates,” “expects,” “continues,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “intends,” “believes,” “forecasts,” “future,” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based upon our current expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections, and various assumptions, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Our expectations, beliefs, estimates, and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates, and projections will occur or can be achieved and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or anticipated results, including those that may be set forth under "Risk Factors" below and elsewhere in this report, as well as in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Examples of these uncertainties and risks include, but are not limited to:
| · | access to sufficient debt or equity capital to meet our operating and financial needs; |
| · | the extent of dilution of the holdings of our existing stockholders upon the issuance, conversion or exercise of securities issued as part of our capital raising efforts; |
| · | the extent to which certain debt holders may call the notes to be paid; |
| · | the effectiveness and ultimate market acceptance of our products and our ability to generate sufficient sales revenues to sustain our growth and strategy plans; |
| · | whether our products in development will prove safe, feasible and effective; |
| · | whether and when we or any potential strategic partners will obtain required regulatory approvals in the markets in which we plan to operate; |
| · | our need to achieve manufacturing scale-up in a timely manner, and our need to provide for the efficient manufacturing of sufficient quantities of our products; |
| · | the lack of immediate alternate sources of supply for some critical components of our products; |
| · | our ability to establish and protect the proprietary information on which we base our products, including our patent and intellectual property position; |
| · | the impact of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on economic conditions in general and on our business operations; |
| · | the need to fully develop the marketing, distribution, customer service and technical support and other functions critical to the success of our product lines; |
| · | the dependence on potential strategic partners or outside investors for funding, development assistance, clinical trials, distribution and marketing of some of our products; and |
| · | other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in our reports filed with the SEC. |
These forward-looking statements reflect our management’s beliefs and views with respect to future events and are based on estimates and assumptions as of the date of this filing and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW
We are a medical technology company focused on developing innovative medical devices that have the potential to improve healthcare. Our primary focus is the sales and marketing of our LuViva® Advanced Cervical Scan non-invasive cervical cancer detection device. The underlying technology of LuViva primarily relates to the use of biophotonics for the non-invasive detection of cancers. LuViva is designed to identify cervical cancers and precancers painlessly, non-invasively and at the point of care by scanning the cervix with light, then analyzing the reflected and fluorescent light.
LuViva provides a less invasive and painless alternative to conventional tests for cervical cancer screening and detection. Additionally, LuViva improves patient well-being not only because it eliminates pain, but also because it is convenient to use and provides rapid results at the point of care. We focus on two primary applications for LuViva: first, as a cancer screening tool in the developing world, where infrastructure to support traditional cancer-screening methods is limited or non-existent, and second, as a triage following traditional screening in the developed world, where a high number of false positive results cause a high rate of unnecessary and ultimately costly follow-up tests.
We are a Delaware corporation, originally incorporated in 1992 under the name “SpectRx, Inc.” and, on February 22, 2008, changed our name to Guided Therapeutics, Inc. At the same time, we renamed our wholly owned subsidiary, InterScan, which originally had been incorporated as “Guided Therapeutics.”
Since our inception, we have raised capital through the public and private sale of debt and equity, funding from collaborative arrangements, and grants.
Our prospects must be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by entrants into the medical device industry. This industry is characterized by an increasing number of participants, intense competition and a high failure rate. We have experienced operating losses since our inception in 1992 as SpectRx, Inc. and, as of March 31, 2026, we have an accumulated deficit of approximately $158.0 million. To date, we have engaged primarily in research and development efforts and the early stages of marketing our products. We do not have significant experience in manufacturing, marketing or selling our products. We may not be successful in growing sales for our products. Moreover, required regulatory clearances or approvals, described below, may not be obtained in a timely manner, or at all. Our products may not ever gain market acceptance and we may not ever generate significant revenues or achieve profitability. The development and commercialization of our products requires substantial development, regulatory, sales and marketing, manufacturing and other expenditures. We expect our operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to expend substantial resources to complete commercialization of our products, obtain regulatory clearances or approvals, build our marketing, sales, manufacturing and finance capabilities, and conduct further research and development.
Our product revenues to date have been limited. Our historical and expected future revenue has been and will be derived from sales of LuViva devices and disposables.
Current Demand for LuViva
Based on existing purchase orders and ongoing discussions with potential customers and partners, we expect potential sales of approximately $1.0 million within the next twelve months. We cannot be assured that we will generate all or any of these additional purchase orders, or that existing orders will not be canceled by the distributors or that parts to build product will be available to meet demand, such that existing orders will result in actual sales, in part because demand for LuViva is contingent upon Chinese regulatory approval which has not yet been achieved. Because we have a short history of sales of our products, we cannot confidently predict future sales of our products beyond this time frame and cannot be assured of any particular number of sales. Accordingly, we have not identified any particular trends with regard to sales of our products. In order to increase demand for LuViva, we are focused on three primary markets: the United States, China and Europe. In addition, we have recently received sales orders from Turkey and Indonesia, for which we have received the necessary regulatory approvals and are preparing to fulfill. These orders are expected to result in approximately $200,000 in revenue for 2026. The amount may be lower depending on whether YMIC pays directly for some of the parts due to the origin of manufacture in China. We expect payment once this is resolved. When combined with sales to our Chinese partner, these constitute what we view as the current demand for our products.

| Table of Contents |
We have not yet obtained clearance or approval from the U.S. FDA. However, we have completed patient enrollment in the clinical trial required to support an application for FDA approval to market and sell LuViva in the United States. As of April 2026, the status of the FDA application is as follows:
1. | Approximately 480 patients were enrolled, of whom 428 were evaluable for efficacy analysis. Both totals satisfy the a priori criteria as set forth in the study protocol. | |
2. | No adverse events related to the use of LuViva have been reported. | |
3. | All four clinical study sites adhered to the study protocol and completed required case report forms in accordance with FDA standards. | |
|
|
|
4. | Close-out activities have been completed at all sites, and all LuViva devices have been retrieved in good working order. | |
|
|
|
5. | All pathology results have been received and data analysis has been completed. | |
|
|
|
6. | We expect to file the clinical results with FDA in the second quarter of 2026. We believe the results exceed those expected by FDA, thus increasing the likelihood of approval. However, we cannot be certain that FDA approval will occur. |
For us to market our products in Europe and some other international jurisdictions, we and our distributors and agents must obtain required regulatory registrations or approvals. We must also comply with extensive regulations regarding safety, efficacy and quality in those jurisdictions. We may not be able to obtain the required regulatory registrations or approvals, or we may be required to incur significant costs in obtaining or maintaining any regulatory registrations or approvals we receive. Delays in obtaining any registrations or approvals required for marketing our products, failure to receive these registrations or approvals, or future loss of previously obtained registrations or approvals would limit our ability to sell our products internationally. For example, international regulatory bodies have adopted various regulations governing product standards, packaging requirements, labeling requirements, import restrictions, tariff regulations, duties and tax requirements. These regulations vary from country to country. In order to sell our products in Europe, in 2018 we had to undergo an inspection and re-file for ISO 13485:2016 and the CE Mark, which is an international symbol of quality and compliance with applicable European medical device directives. Failure to maintain ISO 13485:2016 certification or CE mark certification or other international regulatory approvals would prevent us from selling in some countries in the European Union.
As of December 31, 2025, our products have achieved and maintained both ISO 13485:2016 certification and the CE Mark through our contract manufacturer, Newmars Technologies. However, because of our focus on countries that do not require the CE Mark, it is uncertain whether we will maintain the CE Mark for the short term, as standards are continually evolving.
For our products to be marketed and sold in the People’s Republic of China, they must gain approval from the NMPA. We have been working with SMI to obtain NMPA approval. In 2022, device safety compliance testing was completed, and in late 2023 enrollment in the pivotal clinical trial at four hospitals was completed. SMI filed the NMPA approval application on October 16, 2024. On January 6, 2025, SMI notified us that the NMPA had accepted the application as completed and commenced its review.
Although SMI no longer holds rights to LuViva in China, SMI and its partners HDMT and YMIC have indicated their willingness to continue assisting with the NMPA approval process. We are not obligated to grant long-term distribution or manufacturing rights in China to any of these parties. Both HDMT and YMIC continue to place product orders with us, as described above.
NMPA approval requires a successful manufacturing inspection. Current indications suggest that YMIC may be the entity to achieve this, as they are approved by the Chinese government to manufacture Class III medical devices. Based on current expectations, a manufacturing inspection could occur in the second quarter of 2026, with potential approval in the third or fourth quarter of 2026, although there is no assurance that this timeline will be met or that NMPA approval of LuViva will be obtained.

Following regulatory approval of LuViva in Russia on August 11, 2025, the Company’s distribution partner, Newmars Medical Technologies (“Newmars”), has shifted its focus from smaller Eastern European markets to the Russian market. The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has complicated efforts to market LuViva in Russia.
In Turkey, we have been in contact with three different medical groups representing over 60 individual hospitals and clinics. We have entered contract discussions for supplying LuViva to the Turkish Ministry of Health (“MOH”). The current plan involves a collaboration with MOH to conduct a clinical study in Turkey to support the use of LuViva for primary screening of cervical cancer as a replacement for the Pap test under the public health system. The MOH has informed us that this could potentially involve significant annual testing volumes if implemented nationwide. The clinical study is expected to involve about 800 patients, take less than six months to complete and will be funded by the MOH. As of December 31, 2025, MOH had approved the study and budget, including paying for LuViva devices and single use cervical guides. Funds totaling approximately $63,000 are expected to be released in the second quarter of 2026 and the study concluded in 2026.
In Indonesia, our contracted distributors are in discussions with the local government hospital system of Sulawesi, one of the nation’s most populous islands. During the fourth quarter of 2024, we received an order and full payment for four devices from Indonesia. We have delayed shipment pending final payment for shipping and additional services requested by the customer. We expect to ship these devices in 2026.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our material accounting policies, which we believe are the most critical to investors’ understanding of our financial results and condition, are discussed below. Because we are still early in our enterprise development, the number of these policies requiring explanation is limited. As we begin to generate increased revenue from different sources, we expect that the number of applicable policies and complexity of the judgments required will increase.
Revenue Recognition: ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers establishes a single and comprehensive framework which sets out how much revenue is to be recognized, and when. The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the vendor expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized when control over the goods or services is transferred to the customer. For the Company, revenue is primarily generated from the sale of medical devices and related components, and in certain circumstances may also include service, licensing, or distribution arrangements. The application of the core principle in ASC 606 is carried out in five steps:
Step 1 – Identify the contract with a customer: a contract is defined as an agreement (including oral and implied), between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for each of those rights and obligations. The contract needs to have commercial substance and it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled. In the medical device industry, contracts may include sales agreements with hospitals, clinics, distributors, or international partners.
Step 2 – Identify the performance obligations in the contract: a performance obligation in a contract is a promise (including implicit) to transfer a good or service to the customer. Each performance obligation should be capable of being distinct and is separately identifiable in the contract. For the Company, performance obligations typically consist of the delivery of medical devices, related disposables or accessories, and in certain arrangements may include installation services, training, technical support, or other post-delivery obligations.
Step 3 – Determine the transaction price: transaction price is the amount of consideration that the entity can be entitled to, in exchange for transferring the promised goods and services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Transaction prices for the Company’s products include fixed prices stated in purchase orders or distribution agreements.

| Table of Contents |
Step 4 – Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations: If a contract contains multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price of each promised good or service. Standalone selling prices are determined using observable market prices when available or estimated using appropriate pricing methods.
Step 5 – Recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied: Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services transfers to the customer. For product sales, this generally occurs at a point in time when the device is shipped or delivered to the customer in accordance with the contractual shipping terms. Revenue related to services or other ongoing obligations, if any, is recognized over the period in which the services are performed.
Valuation of Equity Instruments Granted to Employee, Service Providers and Investors: On the date of issuance, the instruments are recorded at their fair value as determined using the Black-Scholes or binomial lattice valuation models.
Inventory Valuation: All inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined substantially on a “first-in, first-out” basis. Selling, general, and administrative expenses are not inventoried, but are charged to expense when incurred.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025
Sales Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold: The Company did not recognize any revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had deferred revenue of $188,552, related to advance customer payments. Certain of these arrangements require additional payments or the satisfaction of contractual conditions, including the receipt of customer-provided components, prior to shipment. Accordingly, the timing of shipment and revenue recognition for these arrangements remains uncertain. The Company also has customer purchase orders for LuViva devices and disposables; however, the timing and fulfillment of these orders, and therefore revenue recognition, are dependent on various factors, including customer requirements, production timing, and regulatory considerations, including the status of approval by the NMPA.
While the Company believes that demand for its products may increase as regulatory approvals are obtained and commercial activities expand, there can be no assurance regarding the level or timing of revenue in 2026.
Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were $44,511 and $74,122 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease of $29,611, or 40%, was primarily due to a $60,450 reduction in clinical trial research expenses, partially offset by increases of $20,000 in payroll and $7,025 for professional services and consulting.
Sales and Marketing Expenses: Sales and marketing expenses were $22,500 and $72,993 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease of $50,493, or 69%, was primarily due to a reduction of $41,285 in payroll and benefits and $8,907 in allocated rent expense.
General and Administrative Expense: General and administrative expenses were $450,673 and $266,920 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase of $183,753, or 69%, was primarily due to increases of $76,380 in attorney's fees incurred in connection with the Company's uplisting to the Canadian stock exchange, $40,644 in stock option expense, $30,875 in rent and utilities (of which a portion reflects rent previously allocated to sales and marketing), $29,918 in payroll and benefits, and $19,355 in professional services and consulting, partially offset by decreases of $10,725 in property taxes and $2,694 in miscellaneous expenses.

Gain on Remeasurement of Deferred Compensation Conversion Liability: During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized a gain of $217,062 on the remeasurement of the deferred compensation conversion liability related to Dr. Faupel's convertible deferred compensation arrangement. This liability is classified under ASC 718 because settlement into common stock is at the employee's election, and is carried at fair value with changes recognized each period. As of March 31, 2026, the conversion feature was out-of-the-money relative to the $0.25 conversion price, and accordingly its fair value was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, reflecting time value rather than intrinsic value. The resulting decrease in fair value from the prior period-end balance generated the gain recognized during the quarter.
Interest Expense: Interest expense was $150,831 and $146,899 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and remained materially consistent period over period.
Inducement Charges: During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized inducement charges of $77,593 related to the issuance of warrants in connection with the conversion of outstanding debt.
Change in fair value of derivative liability: The change in the fair value of derivative liabilities resulted in a gain of $12,847 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a gain of $52,890 in the prior-year period. A greater number of derivative liabilities were recorded in the prior year due to additional bifurcated conversion features associated with new debt issuances.
Gain from Forgiveness of Debt: Gain from forgiveness of debt was $3,278 and $16,291 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and was due to forgiveness of debt from our creditors.
Loss from Extinguishment of Debt: No loss on extinguishment of debt was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $31,928 in the prior-year period, which related to the exchange of outstanding debt for equity securities in connection with a private placement completed in March 2025.
Other Income: Other income was $14,588 and $98,090 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The higher amount in the prior-year period was primarily attributable to an agreement with SMI, under which a $180,000 payment was applied toward reimbursement of certain expenses incurred in prior periods and recognized in other income. This income was partially offset by an $84,000 loss recorded for the write-off of a long-term asset. Other income in the current period primarily relates to a vendor credit issued for amounts incurred in prior periods.
Preferred Stock Dividends: Preferred stock dividend expense was $3,242 and $35,559 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease of $32,317 was primarily due to a reduction in outstanding dividend-bearing preferred stock and the cessation of dividend accruals on certain preferred stock series.
Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders: Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $1,013,441 and $462,742 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The reasons for the increase are explained above.
There was no income tax benefit recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025, due to recurring net operating losses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Going Concern Considerations
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $5.1 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $158.0 million. The Company has historically incurred recurring losses from operations and expects such losses to continue as it advances its regulatory approval efforts and commercialization activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred a net loss attributable to common stockholders of approximately $1.0 million. The Company’s operating activities continue to require significant cash outflows, primarily related to research and development, general and administrative expenses, and debt servicing obligations.
| 39 |
| Table of Contents |
The Company will need to continue to raise capital in order to provide funding for its operations and FDA approval process. If sufficient capital cannot be raised, the Company will continue its plans of curtailing operations by reducing discretionary spending and staffing levels and attempting to operate by only pursuing activities for which it has external financial support. However, there can be no assurance that such external financial support will be sufficient to maintain even limited operations or that the Company will be able to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all. In such a case, the Company might be required to enter into unfavorable agreements or, if that is not possible, be unable to continue operations, and to the extent practicable, liquidate and/or file for bankruptcy protection.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities: Net cash used in operating activities was $616,947 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $330,302 in the prior-year period. The increase in cash used was primarily due to a net loss of $500,333 and unfavorable changes in working capital, primarily driven by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $97,111, partially offset by non-cash items including stock-based compensation of $68,316, inducement charges of $77,593, amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts of $47,514, and amortization of the lease right-of-use asset of $22,444, net of a non-cash gain on remeasurement of the deferred compensation conversion liability of $217,062.
Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities during the period was not material.
Financing Activities: Net cash provided by financing activities was $922,475 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $57,121 in the prior-year period. Cash provided by financing activities in the current period was primarily driven by $980,000 of proceeds from warrant exercises and $187,550 from the issuance of notes payable, partially offset by $215,119 of payments on notes payable, $2,406 of payments on notes payable issued to related parties, and $27,550 of debt issuance costs. In the prior-year period, financing activities consisted primarily of $204,500 of proceeds from a private placement offering, partially offset by $147,379 of payments on notes payable.
Capital Resources and Funding Requirements
Over the next 12 months we expect our burn rate to increase as we increase headcount, especially for meeting manufacturing demand. In addition, although we have significant inventory, we will need to order additional parts and services for production. Finally, we expect to spend another $350,000 to complete payments related to our FDA study, although these payments do not impact our schedule for filing the PMA during the second quarter of 2026. Thus, we estimate that approximately $2.4 million will be needed to fund the business over the next 12 months. However, other than completing and filing the US FDA study results, additional expenditures for manufacturing production will be needed only if significant product is ordered and paid for in advance by customers, which is our current policy.
Since our inception, we have raised capital through the public and private sale of debt and equity, funding from collaborative arrangements, and grants. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash of approximately $368,886 and a working capital deficit of $5.1 million. Our outstanding debt obligations include a combination of short- and long-term promissory notes, insurance premium financing, and several convertible notes with varying maturities, interest rates, and terms.
Promissory Notes
As of March 31, 2026, we have a promissory note issued to a former employee with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $41,000. The note accrues interest at 6% per annum and matures on May 5, 2028. Monthly payments of approximately $2,000 are required under the terms of the agreement.

|
|
|

These convertible instruments, especially those with variable conversion pricing or embedded features, may result in significant dilution to existing stockholders if converted to equity. Additionally, several of the notes include default provisions or change of control clauses that may accelerate repayment obligations or increase total amounts due.
Related Party Debt
As of March 31, 2026, we also had multiple outstanding obligations to related parties, including current and former directors and executives:
| · | On September 25, 2025, we issued a $160,000 contingently convertible promissory note to Dr. John Imhoff. The note bears interest at 10% per annum and matures on February 28, 2027. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the holder converted approximately $40,000 of principal and approximately $4,000 of accrued interest into shares of common stock. These conversions were completed with the mutual agreement of the Company in lieu of scheduled principal payments. As of March 31, 2026, the remaining outstanding principal balance under the note was approximately $110,000. | ||
|
|
| ||
| · | We have outstanding promissory notes with Dr. Mark Faupel and Dr. Gene Cartwright with aggregate balances of approximately $495,000, including accrued interest. Dr. Faupel's note, with an outstanding balance of approximately $174,000, was extended pursuant to a new promissory note dated April 30, 2026 with terms retroactively applied as of February 19, 2026 and a maturity date of August 18, 2027, and is classified as long-term. Dr. Cartwright's note remains past due and is classified as a current liability. | ||
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements, no special purpose entities, and no activities that include non-exchange-traded contracts accounted for at fair value.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) rules and forms. We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer/Acting Chief Financial Officer, Mark Faupel, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer/Acting Chief Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of March 31, 2026, due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses identified arose from a lack of recourses to properly research and account for complex transactions and lack of oversight and approval by the Board of Directors and Audit Committee, including formally documented approval of significant transactions, including related party transactions. While management is currently in the early stages of developing a remediation plan, we have yet to fully remediate this material weakness.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the disposition of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
Warrant Exchange and Exercise
On February 25, 2026, the Company entered into a series of warrant exchange agreements with certain holders of its outstanding warrants originally issued in 2022. Under these agreements, holders were offered two alternatives: (i) exchange one of their existing warrants with exercise prices of $0.50 and $0.65 per share for new warrants with reduced exercise prices of $0.20 or $0.25 per share, respectively, which were required to be exercised immediately, and retain the remaining warrants with their original exercise prices of $0.50 or $0.65 per share and receive a one-year extension of the original expiration date, or (ii) keep the terms of the existing warrants unchanged. These transactions were conducted pursuant to individually negotiated exchange agreements with each holder.
As a result of these transactions, approximately 4,825,000 warrants were exchanged for new reduced-price warrants and exercised immediately, resulting in the issuance of approximately 4,825,000 shares of common stock and cash proceeds of approximately $980 to the Company. The remaining approximately 4,425,000 warrants retained their original exercise prices and had their expiration dates extended by one year and remain outstanding, expiring in 2027. The one-year extension of the remaining warrants resulted in incremental fair value of approximately $510, which was recognized as a deemed dividend recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Holders of approximately 11,973,080 warrants elected to keep the terms of their existing warrants unchanged pursuant to Alternative (ii); these warrants retain their original exercise prices and expiration dates and are scheduled to expire in 2026.
The issuance of the foregoing securities was made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as the transactions did not involve any public offering. Cash proceeds of approximately $980 from the exercise of exchanged warrants were used for general corporate purposes.
Conversion of Debt into Common Stock and Warrant Issuance
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with the holder of a $75 convertible promissory note, pursuant to which the holder agreed to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest of approximately $8 into 414,082 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.20 per share. In connection with the exchange, the Company also issued warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, expiring three years from the date of issuance, as additional consideration to induce the conversion. The Company recognized an inducement charge of approximately $78 related to these warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, Dr. John Imhoff converted approximately $40 of principal and $4 of accrued interest under the Company's contingently convertible promissory note dated September 25, 2025 into 626,223 shares of common stock. The issuance of these shares and warrants was made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. No cash proceeds were received by the Company in connection with the share issuance.

Warrants Issued to Consultant
On February 20, 2026, the Company entered into an Exchange and Deferred Compensation Agreement with a former employee and consultant for services previously rendered. Under the agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 22,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share. The estimated fair value of the warrants was approximately $8 and was recognized as stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The issuance of these warrants was made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No cash proceeds were received by the Company in connection with this issuance.
Warrants Issued in Connection with Promissory Note
On February 6, 2026, the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $30 to an investor. In connection with the issuance of the note, the Company issued warrants to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share, exercisable immediately upon issuance and expiring three years from the issuance date. The estimated fair value of the warrants was approximately $11, recorded as a discount to the note and amortized to interest expense over the term of the note. The issuance of these warrants was made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No separate cash proceeds were received by the Company in connection with these warrants.
Conversion of Preferred Stock into Common Stock
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company issued the following unregistered shares of common stock upon the conversion of preferred stock: (i) 400,000 shares upon the conversion of 100 shares of Series E Preferred Stock at the request of Dr. John Imhoff, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors; (ii) 2,840,000 shares upon the conversion of 710 shares of Series F Preferred Stock; and (iii) 940,000 shares upon the conversion of 235 shares of Series F-2 Preferred Stock. The issuance of these securities was made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the exchanges were made with existing security holders and no commission or other remuneration was paid. No cash proceeds were received by the Company in connection with these conversions.
Common Stock Issued as Payment of Dividends
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company issued the following unregistered shares of common stock in payment of accrued dividends on preferred stock: (i) 25,338 shares to Dr. John Imhoff in payment of accrued dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock; (ii) 211,645 shares in payment of accrued dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock; and (iii) 72,189 shares in payment of accrued dividends on the Series F-2 Preferred Stock. The issuance of these securities was made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. No cash proceeds were received by the Company in connection with these issuances.
On April 1, 2026, the Company issued 5,663 shares of common stock for payment of dividends on its Series F-2 Preferred Stock. On April 6, 2026, the Company issued 23,291 shares of common stock for payment of dividends on its Series F-2 Preferred Stock. The unregistered shares were issued in reliance on exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. No cash proceeds were received by the Company in connection with these issuances.
Stock Options
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted an aggregate of 625,000 stock options, consisting of 75,000 options granted under the Company's Stock Plan and 550,000 options granted outside of the Plan pursuant to approval by the Board of Directors. The options were granted with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.29 per share, equal to the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The grant-date fair value of the options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected term of 6.1 years, stock price of $0.29, exercise price of $0.29, volatility of 193.4%, risk-free interest rate of 3.8%, and no expected dividends. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the period was $0.29 per share.
The issuance of the foregoing stock options was made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 701 under the Securities Act of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the grants were made to employees and directors without any public offering. No cash proceeds were received by the Company in connection with these grants.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
GUIDED THERAPEUTICS, INC.
| Warrant Shares: 75,000 | Date of Issuance: May 2, 2025 |
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, John Gould or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after date hereof (the “Date of Issuance”) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on May 1, 2028 (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Guided Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to 75,000 shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section 1. Definitions. This Warrant is issued by the Company as of the date hereof in connection with that certain Promissory Note dated May 2, 2025, by and among the Company and the Holder (the “Agreement”).
| 1 |
Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). The Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.20 (the “Exercise Price”).
c) [RESERVED]
d) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall deliver to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise. Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price is received.
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
| 2 |
iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
v. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.
vi. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
d) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(d) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
| 3 |
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.
| 4 |
c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
d) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
| 5 |
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Initial Exercise Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
e) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
| 6 |
c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
| 7 |
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
h) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
i) Limitation of Liability.
