These forward-looking statements relate to our future plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and may be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “aims,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “intends,” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including those identified below, under Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and those risks identified under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 29, 2024 ("2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K"). Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed, projected or implied in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason.
These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our objectives, plans and strategies, statements that contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition, expected capital needs and expenses, statements relating to the research, development, completion and use of our device, and all statements (other than statements of historical facts) that address activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. We have based these forward-looking statements on assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate.
Important factors that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements include, among other things:
These statements are only current predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by law, we are under no duty to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise for any reason.
The Company will continue to file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Forward-looking statements speak only as of the dates specified in such filings. Except as expressly required under federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after any such date, whether as a result of new information or future events or otherwise. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements included in this report or that may be made elsewhere from time to time by us, or on our behalf. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.
NOTE REGARDING COMPANY REFERENCES
Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “HeartSciences”, the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. References to “Fiscal 2025” refer to the 12 months ending April 30, 2025 and references to “Fiscal 2024” refer to the 12 months ended April 30, 2024.
REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
Effective May 17, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 100 shares of the Company's issued and outstanding pre-reverse split shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), were combined into one share of Common Stock, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split resulted in any of the Company's shareholders owning a fractional share, which was rounded up to the next highest whole share. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, there was no change in the par value per share of $0.001. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, equitable adjustments corresponding to the Reverse Stock Split ratio were made to the Company’s outstanding warrants and its other convertible instruments and upon the exercise or vesting of all stock options such that every 100 shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the Company's warrants and stock options and conversion of its other convertible instruments held immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split represent one share of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of such warrants and stock options and conversion of the other convertible instruments immediately following the Reverse Stock Split. Correspondingly, the exercise price per share of Common Stock attributable to the Company's warrants and stock options and the conversion price of its other convertible instruments immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split was proportionately increased by a multiple of 100 following the Reverse Stock Split.
All Common Stock share and per share data, and exercise price data for applicable Common Stock equivalents, included in these financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated.

Heart Test Laboratories, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Unaudited Financial Statements
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a HeartSciences (“HeartSciences” or the “Company”) is a medical technology company specializing in cardiovascular diagnostic technology. The Company is a Texas corporation and is headquartered in Southlake, Texas.
HeartSciences’ focus is on applying AI-based technology to an electrocardiograph (“ECG”) device, to expand and improve an ECG's clinical usefulness. The Company's objective is to make an ECG a far more valuable cardiac screening tool by expanding its clinical capability to detect a broader range of cardiac indications through the development of AI-based ECG cardiovascular algorithms (“AI-ECG”). The Company is seeking to provide AI-ECG solutions in any care setting worldwide in a manner that best suits different providers, either via one of the millions of ECG’s currently in clinical use or via its proprietary MyoVista wavECG device. The MyoVista wavECG, is a resting 12-lead ECG that will incorporate HeartSciences’ proprietary AI-ECG algorithm designed to provide diagnostic information related to cardiac dysfunction as well as conventional ECG information in the same test. Additionally, the Company is developing a cloud-based platform to provide access to AI-ECG algorithms, both HeartSciences developed and third-party algorithms, (the “MyoVista Insights Cloud Platform”). In the future, the Company intends to deliver a range of AI-ECG algorithms for each product. The Company is preparing to seek U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) submission in the first calendar quarter of 2025.
On May 6, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation with the Secretary of the State of Texas to effect a
All Common Stock share and per share data, and exercise price data for applicable Common Stock equivalents, included in these financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated.
Note 2. Liquidity, Going Concern and Other Uncertainties
The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of early-stage companies, including dependence on key individuals and products, the difficulties inherent in the development of a commercial market, the need to obtain additional capital, competition from larger companies, and other technologies.
The Company has incurred losses each year since inception and has experienced negative cash flows from operations in each year since inception. At July 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $
In March 2023, the Company entered into a purchase agreement and a registration rights agreement with an institutional investor, providing for the sale, from time to time at the discretion of the Company, of up to $
In September 2023, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “EDA”) with an institutional investor, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell an aggregate of up to $
5
sale under the EDA is subject to limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 until such time that the Company's public float equals or exceeds $75.0 million. In the event the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $
In September 2024, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC, an accredited investor (“Streeterville”), pursuant to which Streeterville issued the Company an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $
Based on the Company’s forecasts and cashflow projections, management believes that current resources would be insufficient to fund operations to achieve commercialization. Additionally, the FDA can delay, limit or deny clearance of a medical device for many reasons outside the Company’s control which may involve substantial unforeseen costs.
Management’s plans include raising capital through the sale of additional equity securities, debt, or capital inflows from strategic partnerships. Management can provide no assurance that such financing or strategic relationships will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, which would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial statements.
The condensed unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and in conformity with the instructions on Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions (“SEC”) and have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results of operations for the periods presented. The interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any subsequent period. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates carrying value. At times, the Company’s cash balances may exceed the current insured amounts under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).
Inventory
All inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined substantially on a “first-in, first-out” basis.

Inventory consists mainly of raw materials and components used in the current hardware build of the MyoVista wavECG devices and components are used for research and development purposes and device sales, which to date have been in international markets as sale of the MyoVista wavECG in the U.S. is subject to FDA clearance. Management believes that its hardware platform is in final form, however, prior to FDA clearance and market acceptance of the MyoVista wavECG, further hardware changes could be necessary which could have an impact on net realizable values. The majority of the Company’s current inventory is intended for use to build finished products following regulatory clearance. Finished products do not contain materials that would degrade significantly over the useable life of the device and are considered to have a useable life of over
Research and Development Expenses
In accordance with ASC Topic 730, Accounting for Research and Development Costs, the Company accounts for research and development expenditures, including payments to collaborative research partners and regulatory filing costs, as research and development expenses. Accordingly, all research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The range of estimated useful lives used to calculate depreciation is generally

Deferred Offering Costs
The Company capitalizes certain legal, professional, and other-third party charges related to its efforts to raise capital and other ongoing equity financings as deferred offering costs until fully consummated. These costs are deferred until the completion of the offerings at which time they are reclassified to additional paid-in-capital as a reduction of the offering proceeds. If the Company terminates the planned offering, all of the deferred offering costs will be immediately written off to operating expenses.
In March, 2023, the Company entered into the Equity Line. Deferred offering costs associated with the Equity Line are reclassified to additional paid in capital on a pro-rata basis over the term of the agreement.
In September 2023, the Company entered into an EDA to sell its Common Stock under the ATM Facility. Deferred offering costs associated with the ATM Facility are reclassified to additional paid in capital on a pro-rata basis.

In October 2023, the Company filed an S-1/A registration statement which has not yet been declared effective by the SEC. These costs are deferred until the completion of the offerings at which time they are reclassified to additional paid-in-capital as a reduction of the offering proceeds.
As of July 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024, $
Fair Value Measurements
The accounting guidance establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or is derived from such prices. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the assignment of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which primarily include cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts of the Company’s existing notes payable approximate their fair values at the stated interest rates and are reflective of the prevailing market rates.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is determined to not be recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent the carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
Leases
The Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. The Company measures and records a right-of-use asset and lease liability based on the discount rate implicit in the lease, if known. In cases where the discount rate implicit in the lease is not known, the Company measures the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities using a discount rate equal to the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate for loans with similar collateral and duration.
The Company elected to not apply the recognition requirements to leases of all classes of underlying assets that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of
8
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee and non-employee share-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under ASC 718, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).
The estimated fair value of common stock option awards is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on key assumptions such as fair value of common stock, expected volatility, and expected term. These estimates require the input of subjective assumptions, including (i) the expected stock price volatility, (ii) the calculation of the expected term of the award, (iii) the risk-free rate and (iv) expected dividend yields. These assumptions are primarily based on historical data, peer company data and the judgment of management regarding future trends and other factors.
Management has estimated the expected term of its Common Stock options using the “simplified” method, whereby, the expected term equals the arithmetic average of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the option due to its lack of sufficient historical data. The risk-free interest rates for periods within the expected term of the option are based on the US Treasury securities with a maturity date that commensurate with the expected term of the associated award. There is no expected dividend yield since the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
For stock options issued to employees and non-employees, the fair value of stock-based awards is recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is defined as the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for an award. The Company uses a straight-line attribution method for all grants that include only a service condition. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the financial statements is reduced by actual awards forfeited.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per share excludes the effect of dilution and is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities.
Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of Common Stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, convertible preferred stock, stock options, Common Stock subject to repurchase related to early exercise of stock options, convertible stock warrants and convertible notes are considered to be potentially dilutive securities. As the Company has reported a net loss for all periods presented, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for those periods.
Common Stock Warrants
The Company grants warrants to purchase Common Stock in connection with financing transactions. Warrants are valued based on Black-Scholes models and the fair value is recorded to additional paid-in-capital.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The guidance focuses on the core principle for revenue recognition, which 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 entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, which provides a five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers as follows:
9
A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into a legally enforceable contract with a customer, through a purchase order, that defines each party’s rights regarding the products to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these products, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for products that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The only performance obligation is to create and ship the product and each product has separate, distinct pricing. Performance obligations are met and revenue is recognized at a point in time when the order for its goods are shipped FOB manufacturer and control is transferred.
The transaction price is determined based on the amount expected to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the product to the customer net of any transaction price adjustments. The Company’s payment terms to customers generally range from
Payment terms fall within the one-year guidance for the practical expedient which allows the Company to forgo adjustment of the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component. The Company accepts product returns at its discretion or if the product is defective as manufactured. Historically, the actual product returns have been immaterial to the Company’s financial statements. The Company elected to treat shipping and handling costs as a fulfillment cost and included them in the cost of goods sold as incurred. Costs associated with product sales include commissions. The Company applies the practical expedient and recognizes commissions as expense when incurred because the expense is incurred at a point in time and the amortization period is less than one year. Commissions are recorded as selling expense.
The Company did not recognize material revenues during the three month periods ended July 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company’s revenues do not require significant estimates or judgments. The Company is not a party to contracts that include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration. As of July 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024, the Company did
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets, subject to valuation allowances, and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. Management considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including recent cumulative experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income or loss, the carry-forward periods available to the Company for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors.
A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Accruals for uncertain tax positions are provided for in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The Company may recognize the tax benefits from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns.
Based on its analysis, management has determined that it has not incurred any liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of July 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024.
The Company may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, U.S. states or foreign jurisdiction authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax laws.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and franchise taxes in the State of Texas. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. Generally, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities for years before 2018.

Note 6. Stock-based Compensation
The Company grants certain employees and board members stock option awards where vesting is contingent upon a service period, as it believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Stock option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to or above the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. Certain stock option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control, as defined in the Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement. Unvested stock options forfeit when an employee leaves the Company.
Time-based grants generally vest quarterly based on

For the three months ended July 31, 2024 and the year ended April 30, 2024, the Company’s cumulative net operating loss for federal income tax purposes was approximately $
Federal and state tax laws impose restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in the event of a change in ownership as defined by the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), Section 382. Under Section 382 of the Code, substantial changes in ownership and the ownership of acquired companies may limit the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that are available to offset taxable income. The annual limitation would not automatically result in the loss of net operating loss carryforwards but may limit the amount available in any given future period.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based upon the projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences, and therefore, a full valuation allowance has been recorded at July 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis is intended as a review of significant factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and the notes presented herein included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and the related notes set forth in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that are based upon our current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to inaccurate assumptions and known or unknown risks and uncertainties, including those identified in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and under “Risk Factors” as identified under Part 1, Item 1A of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We are a medical technology company focused on applying innovative AI-based technology to an ECG, also known as an “EKG,” to expand and improve an ECG’s clinical usefulness. Our objective is to make an ECG a far more valuable cardiac screening tool by expanding its clinical capability to detect a broader range of heart disease conditions through the development of AI-ECG. We are seeking to provide AI-ECG solutions in any care setting worldwide in a manner that best suits different providers, either via our cloud-based application that can receive an upload from one of the millions of ECG devices currently in clinical use or via our proprietary MyoVista wavECG device. The MyoVista wavECG, is a resting 12-lead ECG that will incorporate HeartSciences’ proprietary AI-ECG algorithm designed to provide diagnostic information related to cardiac dysfunction as well as conventional ECG information in the same test. We are also developing a cloud-based platform to host AI-ECG algorithms on an ECG hardware agnostic basis (the “MyoVista Insights Cloud Platform”). In the future, we intend to offer a range of AI-ECG algorithms, via each product. Neither the MyoVista wavECG device, MyoVista Insights Cloud Platform nor any of our AI-ECG algorithms are yet cleared for marketing by the FDA.
The AI-ECG algorithms are intended to provide diagnostic information which has traditionally required cardiac imaging. We believe, the combination of a device agnostic cloud platform and MyoVista wavECG device would allow us to offer AI-ECG solutions across a wide range of healthcare settings from large heath systems to frontline or point of care environments such as primary care. The initial revenue model for the MyoVista wavECG device, which involves the use of the MyoVista hardware, associated software and consumables for each test, is expected to be “razor-razorblade” as the cable connection to the electrodes used with the MyoVista wavECG are proprietary to HeartSciences, and new electrodes are used for every test performed. As further algorithms are made commercially available via the MyoVista wavECG or the MyoVista Insights Cloud Platform, we would expect to adopt revenue models based on algorithm usage and/or recurring subscriptions. Our MyoVista Insights Cloud Platform is being designed to fit simply into existing clinical workflows and be available to host third party AI-ECG algorithms, which increases its clinical value and our speed to market as well as reducing R&D costs associated with internal algorithm development.
On September 20, 2023, we entered into the License Agreements with Mount Sinai to commercialize a range of AI-ECG algorithms covering a range of cardiovascular conditions developed by Mount Sinai as well as a memorandum of understanding for ongoing cooperation encompassing de-identified data access, on-going research, and the evaluation of the MyoVista wavECG device.
Our future success is dependent upon receiving FDA clearances for our products and additional funding may be required as part of achieving FDA clearance and thereafter would be required to support the sales launch, provide working capital and support further R&D.
We believe that there is currently no low-cost, front-line, medical device that is effective at screening broadly for many types of heart disease. As a result, we believe that frontline physicians face a significant challenge in determining if a patient has heart disease. Although many think of the ECG as the frontline test for heart disease, in 2012, the United States Preventive Services Task Force conducted an evaluation of conventional ECG testing and stated: “There is no good evidence the test, called an ECG, helps doctors predict heart risks any better than traditional considerations such as smoking, blood pressure and cholesterol levels in people with no symptoms.”
ECG devices record the electrical signals of a patient’s heart. The ECG is a ubiquitous, relatively low-cost, simple and quick test; it is portable and can be performed in a wide range of clinical settings by a non-specialist clinician or clinical aide. There are three basic categories of heart disease: electrical (such as an arrhythmia), structural (such as valvular disease) and ischemic (such as coronary artery disease, or CAD). Conventional resting ECGs have limited sensitivity in detecting structural and ischemic disease and are typically used for diagnosing cardiac rhythm abnormalities, such as atrial fibrillation, or acute coronary syndrome, such as a myocardial infarction which is also known as a heart attack. However, traditional ECGs have a limited role in identifying cardiac dysfunction associated with structural and ischemic disease.
HeartSciences has designed or licensed algorithms designed to help address these limitations and extend the clinical capability of an ECG to detect cardiac dysfunction and other heart disease types.
18
Our first AI-ECG algorithm to be incorporated into the MyoVista wavECG device has been designed by the Company and applies AI-machine learning to the signal processed ECG signal to develop a proprietary algorithm designed to detect impaired cardiac relaxation, or cardiac dysfunction caused by heart disease and/or age-related cardiac dysfunction. We have been adjusting the algorithm to reflect updated echo measurement thresholds in respect of ≥60 year old patients. The change was made, and agreed with the FDA, to reflect recent clinical findings which we believe will further increase the clinical value of this algorithm.
We expect the first AI-ECG algorithm to be submitted as part of the MyoVista Insights Cloud Platform will be for detection of low ejection fraction, or systolic dysfunction, and based on one of those licensed from Mount Sinai.
The editorial comment associated with the study titled “Prediction of Abnormal Myocardial Relaxation from Signal Processed Surface ECG” presented below discusses recent applications of machine learning to data derived from surface 12-lead ECGs in relation to cardiac dysfunction:
“These represent some of the most significant advances in electrocardiography since its inception, which has historically had a limited, if any, role in the evaluation of cardiac dysfunction. In the past, our cardiovascular community was resigned to the fact that surface ECGs are poor indicators for cardiac dysfunction.”
Khurram Nasir, MD, MPH, MSC, Department of Cardiology, Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center, Houston, Texas, et. al., Journal of American College of Cardiology Editorial Comment Volume 76 Number 8 2020.
Almost all forms of heart disease, including CAD and structural disease, affect heart muscle, or cardiac function prior to symptoms. Impaired cardiac function is first observed as impaired cardiac relaxation which is an early indicator of diastolic dysfunction and usually continues to increase in severity as heart disease progresses. The diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle occurs when the heart muscle relaxes (following contraction). Diastolic dysfunction may also be related to age-related cardiac dysfunction. Low ejection fraction, or systolic dysfunction, is a later stage of cardiac dysfunction and occurs when the heart pumps a reduced level of blood from the ventricles during contraction.
If we receive FDA clearances for our product candidates, our main target markets would be frontline healthcare environments in the U.S., to assist physician decision making in the cardiology referral process. Currently, cardiology referral decisions are often based on a patient’s risk factors and/or a conventional ECG test. Accordingly, many patients with heart disease are left undetected while no current treatment or intervention is required for most patients referred for cardiac imaging. We believe that adding the capability to detect a broader range of cardiac conditions to the standard 12-lead resting ECG could help improve cardiac referral pathways and be valuable for patients, physicians, health systems and third-party payors.
New Class II devices, such as our products, require FDA premarket review. The MyoVista wavECG device along with its proprietary software and hardware is classified as a Class II medical device by the FDA. Premarket review and clearance by the FDA for these devices is generally accomplished through the 510(k) premarket notification process or De Novo classification request, or petition process. We previously submitted an FDA De Novo classification request in December 2019 and, following feedback and communications with the FDA during and since that submission, we have been making modifications to our device, including our proprietary algorithm. We have finished the patient recruitment and core lab work for our FDA validation study and have been undertaking device and algorithm development testing for a revised FDA submission. We had been planning a revised submission under the De Novo pathway, however, in December 2023 the FDA confirmed that we could submit the MyoVista wavECG device for clearance under the 510(k) pathway following the grant by the FDA in August 2023 of an industry-first De Novo clearance which created a new Class II product code for cardiovascular machine learning-based notification software. This was in respect of a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy algorithm and in late September 2023, the FDA cleared an algorithm for low ejection fraction (less than 40%) under the 510(k) pathway using this new product code. Accordingly, we are now preparing for a 510(k) FDA submission and are aiming for a submission in the first calendar quarter of 2025. If successful, FDA clearance would provide us the ability to market and sell the MyoVista wavECG device in the U.S. and additional funding would be required to support the sales launch of the MyoVista wavECG device in the U.S., provide working capital and support further R&D.
To date we have not yet entered into a discussion with the FDA regarding the MyoVista Insights Cloud Platform or Mount Sinai licensed AI-ECG algorithms but are aiming to start that process in the current calendar year. We expect these products to fall under the 510(k) pathway and are aiming for an FDA submission of our MyoVista Insights Cloud Platform and low ejection fraction algorithm in the middle of 2025.
Recent Developments
Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Requirements
19
On August 2, 2023, we received a letter from the Staff indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer met the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In accordance with Nasdaq listing rules, we had until January 29, 2024 to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In the event we did not regain compliance during this period, we were eligible to seek an additional 180 calendar day compliance period if we met the Nasdaq continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and provide written notice to Nasdaq of our intent to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period.
We attended an August 17, 2023 hearing before the Nasdaq Hearing Panel (the “Panel”), and requested the continued listing of its securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market pending our return to compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
On January 30, 2024, we received a letter from the Panel advising that we have been granted an additional 180-day extension to July 29, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
On May 9, 2024, the Company received a Staff Determination from Nasdaq to delist the Company’s securities from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Staff Determination was issued because, as of May 8, 2024, the Company’s Common Stock had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for at least ten consecutive trading days. Accordingly, the Company is subject to the provisions contemplated under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) (the “Low Priced Stocks Rule”).
On May 17, 2024, the Company effected the Reverse Stock Split, such that as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 100 shares of the Company's issued and outstanding pre-reverse split Common Stock were combined into one share of Common Stock.
On June 3, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq informing the Company that the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff has confirmed that the Company has regained compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement pursuant to the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and that the Company is therefore in compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. The Company's Common Stock and public warrants continue to be listed on Nasdaq.
Reverse Stock Split
On May 6, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation with the Secretary of the State of Texas to effect the Reverse Stock Split of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, with an effective date of May 17, 2024. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, equitable adjustments corresponding to the Reverse Stock Split ratio were made to the Company’s outstanding warrants and its other convertible instruments and upon the exercise or vesting of all stock options such that every 100 shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the Company’s warrants and stock options and conversion of its other convertible instruments held immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split represent one share of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of such warrants and stock options and conversion of the other convertible instruments immediately following the Reverse Stock Split. Correspondingly, the exercise price per share of Common Stock attributable to the Company’s warrants and stock options and the conversion price of its other convertible instruments immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split was proportionately increased by a multiple of 100 following the Reverse Stock Split.
Patents
In May 2024, we were granted a patent from the Indian Patent Office covering MyoVista wavelet technology.
Debt Extension
On August 19, 2024, the Company and FRV entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Loan and Security Agreement to further extend the maturity date of the FRV Note to September 30, 2025 and pay the outstanding accrued interest as follows: (i) a payment of all accrued interest outstanding within five (5) business days of execution of the agreement; (ii) a payment of accrued interest on September 30, 2024 and (iii) thereafter all accrued interest due shall be payable at maturity. In August 2024, the Company paid approximately $300,000 in accrued interest to FRV.
Streeterville Note Purchase Agreement and Promissory Note
In September 2024, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Streeterville pursuant to which Streeterville issued the Company an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $2,510,000 which included an original issuance discount of $500,000 and reimbursement of Streeterville's transaction expenses of $10,000. The Company incurred placement agent fees equal to 7% of the gross
20
proceeds received from the sale of the Streeterville Note. The Company received approximately $1.9 million in net cash proceeds from the sale of the Streeterville Note.
The Streeterville Note bears interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum and matures in 18 months after its issuance date. From time to time, beginning six months after issuance, Streeterville may redeem a portion of the Streeterville Note, not to exceed $270,000 per month. In the event the Company has not reduced the outstanding balance under the Streeterville Note by at least $900,000 by the 12-month anniversary following the issuance date, then the outstanding balance at such time will automatically increase by 5%. Subject to terms and conditions set forth in the Streeterville Note, the Company may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance of the Streeterville Note at any time.

Summary of Statements of Operations for the three months ended July 31, 2024 compared with the three months ended July 31, 2023:
21
Research and development expenses were $1.2 million for the three months ended July 31, 2024, representing an increase of $659,000, or 117% when compared to the same periods in 2023. The increase is primarily due to consulting costs incurred for development of our MyoVista Insights Cloud Platform and increase in headcount and professional services supporting the FDA submission process.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended July 31, 2024, representing an increase of $86,000, or 11% when compared to the same periods in 2023. The increase is primarily due to payroll related and professional expenses related to the reverse stock split.
Interest expense was $23,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2024, representing a decrease of $13,000 or 36% when compared to the same periods in 2023. Interest expense in Fiscal 2025 is related to interest on the FRV Note. The JQA Note and related accrued interest and the MSW Note converted to equity in November 2023.
Other income of $47,000 during the three months ended July 31, 2024 is related to interest earned on our cash balances.
Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern Considerations
We have incurred losses each year since inception and have experienced negative cash flows from operations in each year since inception. We incurred a net loss of $2.1 million for the period ended July 31, 2024. As of July 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $69.4 million and stockholder's equity of $5.9 million and working capital of $4.7 million.
Based on our current business plan assumptions and expected cash burn rate, we believe that the existing cash is insufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
On March 10, 2023, we entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement providing for the purchase, from time to time at our discretion, of up to $15.0 million of our Common Stock, over the 36-month term of the agreement. Actual sales of shares of Common Stock will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time. The net proceeds received from these purchases will depend on the frequency and prices at which we sell shares of our Common Stock to Lincoln Park. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have received approximately $1.6 million from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement. We expect that any proceeds received from such sales to Lincoln Park will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
On September 18, 2023, we entered into an EDA with Maxim Group LLC as sales agent pursuant to which we may offer and sell up to $3.25 million of our shares of Common Stock in at-the-market offerings. The EDA was further amended on November 9, 2023 and again on November 17, 2023, to increase the amount of shares of Common Stock we may sell to up to $15.0 million. The shares of Common Stock may be issued and sold from time to time through or to the placement agent acting as sales agent or principal pursuant to our shelf registration statement on the Shelf S-3, as filed with the SEC on September 18, 2023. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have received approximately $9.8 million in net proceeds, after Maxim fees, legal fees and other costs, from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the amended EDA. We expect that any proceeds received from such sales under the ATM Facility will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes
In September 2023, the Company entered into the MSW Note for up to $1.0 million, drawn in installments consisting of (i) $0.25 million on or prior to September 8, 2023, (ii) ) $0.25 million on or prior to September 20, 2023, and (iii) further drawdowns of up to $0.5 million in such amounts and such times to be mutually agreed upon between the Company and MSW. In September 2023, the Company drew $0.5 million under the MSW Note and in November 2023, the MSW Note was converted into shares of Common Stock.
In September 2024, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Streeterville pursuant to which Streeterville issued the Company an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $2,510,000 which included an original issuance discount of $500,000 and reimbursement of Streeterville's transaction expenses of $10,000. The Company incurred placement agent fees equal to 7% of the gross proceeds received from the sale of the Streeterville Note. The Company received approximately $1.9 million in net cash proceeds from the sale of the Streeterville Note.
Our cash requirements are, and will continue to be, dependent upon a variety of factors. We expect to continue devoting significant capital resources to R&D, clinical studies and go-to-market strategies. We will need to continue to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities, debt, or capital inflows from strategic partnerships, however we can provide no assurance that that
22
we will be able to consummate the sale of any such securities or strategic relationships will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
Since our inception, we have raised capital through the public and private sale of debt and equity. As of July 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $4.3 million, a decrease of $1.5 million from $5.8 million as of April 30, 2024.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon the most recent evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer) determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of July 31, 2024 as a result of identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The identified material weaknesses were as follows: (i) lack of proper approval processes and review processes and documentation for such reviews; (ii) we did not maintain sufficient U.S. GAAP and SEC accounting resources commensurate with those required of a public company; and (iii) insufficient number of staff to maintain optimal segregation of duties and levels of oversight. We have taken and continue to take remedial steps to improve our internal controls over financial reporting, which includes establishing a more robust process related to review of complex accounting transactions, preparation of account reconciliations, and review of journal entries. Our Chief Financial Officer frequently attends continuing education for updates on accounting policies and procedures. We cannot assure you that these measures will significantly improve or remediate the material weaknesses described above. Management is monitoring the effectiveness of these and other
23
processes, procedures and controls and will make any further changes deemed appropriate. We are committed to ensuring that our internal controls over financial reporting are designed and operating effectively. Management believes the foregoing actions will effectively remediate the material weaknesses, however, our material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until controls are in place for a period of time, the controls are tested, and management concludes that the controls are properly designed and operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except as described above with respect to the remediation steps we are taking, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
CEO and CFO Certifications
Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this Quarterly Report are the Certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. These Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This Item 4 of this Quarterly Report, which you are currently reading, is the information concerning the evaluation referred to above and in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
