Note 1 – Business Organization and Nature of Operations
enVVeno
Medical Corporation is a late clinical-stage med-tech company focused on the advancement of innovative bioprosthetic (tissue-based)
solutions to improve the standard of care for the treatment of venous disease. The Company’s lead product, the VenoValve®,
is a first-in-class surgical replacement venous valve being developed for the treatment of deep venous Chronic Venous Insufficiency
(CVI). The Company is also developing a non-surgical, transcatheter based replacement venous valve for the treatment of deep venous
CVI called enVVe™. CVI occurs when valves inside of the veins of the leg become damaged, resulting in the backwards flow of
blood (reflux), blood pooling in the lower leg, increased pressure in the veins of the leg (venous hypertension) and in severe
cases, venous ulcers that are difficult to heal and become chronic. Both the VenoValve and enVVe are designed to act as one-way
valves, to help assist in propelling blood up the leg, and back to the heart and lungs. The VenoValve is currently being evaluated
in the SAVVE U.S. pivotal study and the company is currently waiting for regulatory approval to begin the TAVVE first-in-human
trial for enVVe. Our team of officers and directors has been affiliated with numerous medical devices that have received FDA
approval or CE marking and that have been commercially successful. We develop and manufacture our products in a

Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2022. The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.
Investments
We consider all highly liquid interest-earning investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The fair values of these investments approximate their carrying values. Investments with original maturities of greater than three months and remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term investments. Investments with maturities beyond one year are classified as long-term investments.
Debt investments are classified as trading securities and realized gains and losses are recorded using the specific identification method. Changes in fair value, excluding credit losses and impairments, are recorded in unrealized gains (losses) from investments. Fair value is calculated based on publicly available market information. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, we evaluate, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality of debt instrument issuers, and the extent to which the fair value is less than cost. We recognize interest income based on the stated coupon rate of the investments purchased.
Note 4 – Investments
The components of investments were as follows at September 30, 2022:

Robert Rankin Complaints
On July 9, 2020, the Company was served with a civil complaint filed in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Orange by a former employee, Robert Rankin, who resigned his employment on or about March 30, 2020. The case is entitled Rankin v. Hancock Jaffe Laboratories, Inc. et al., Case No. 30-2020-01146555-CU-WR-CJC and was filed on May 27, 2020. On September 3, 2020 the Company and its Chief Executive Officer were served with a second complaint filed in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Orange by Mr. Rankin. The case is entitled Rankin v. Hancock Jaffe Laboratories, Inc. et al., Case No. 30-2020-01157857 and was filed on August 31, 2020. The complaints assert several causes of action including a cause of action for failure to timely pay Mr. Rankin’s accrued and unused vacation and three months’ severance under his July 16, 2018 employment agreement, defamation, unlawful labor code violations, sex-based discrimination, and unfair competition, and seeks damages for lost wages, emotional and mental distress, consequential damages, punitive damages and attorney’s fees and costs. The Company has denied all claims in both matters (which have now been consolidated) and has filed a counterclaim asserting that Rankin has breached his employment agreement with the Company to the Company’s damage. The Company continues to believe it has meritorious defenses to both matters which are currently set for trial on June 12, 2023.
As of the date of these financial statements, the amount of loss associated with these complaints, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated.

Overview
enVVeno Medical Corporation is a late clinical-stage med-tech company focused on the advancement of innovative bioprosthetic (tissue-based) solutions to improve the standard of care for the treatment of venous disease. The Company’s lead product, the VenoValve®, is a first-in-class surgical replacement venous valve being developed for the treatment of deep venous Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). The Company is also developing a non-surgical, transcatheter based replacement venous valve for the treatment of deep venous CVI called enVVe™. CVI occurs when valves inside of the veins of the leg become damaged, resulting in the backwards flow of blood (reflux), blood pooling in the lower leg, increased pressure in the veins of the leg (venous hypertension) and in severe cases, venous ulcers that are difficult to heal and become chronic. Both the VenoValve and enVVe are designed to act as one-way valves, to help assist in propelling blood up the leg, and back to the heart and lungs. The VenoValve is currently being evaluated in the SAVVE U.S. pivotal study and the company is currently waiting for regulatory approval to begin the TAVVE first-in-human trial for enVVe. Our team of officers and directors has been affiliated with numerous medical devices that have received FDA approval or CE marking and that have been commercially successful. We develop and manufacture our products in a 14,507 sq. ft. leased manufacturing facility in Irvine, California, which has been ISO 13485-2016 certified for the design, development and manufacturing of tissue based implantable medical devices.
| 10 |
VenoValve
The VenoValve is a porcine based replacement venous valve developed at enVVeno Medical to be implanted in the deep venous system of the leg to treat severe CVI. By reducing reflux and lowering pressure (venous hypertension) within the deep venous system of the leg, the VenoValve has the potential to reduce or eliminate the symptoms of severe deep venous CVI, including the potential to heal recurring venous leg ulcers. The VenoValve is implanted into the femoral vein of the patient in an open surgical procedure via a 5-to-6-inch incision in the upper thigh.
There are presently no FDA approved medical devices to address valvular incompetence in the deep venous system, or effective treatments for deep venous CVI. Current treatment options include compression garments, or constant leg elevation, and wound care for venous ulcers. These treatments are generally ineffective, as they attempt to alleviate the symptoms of CVI without addressing the underlying causes of the disease. In addition, we believe compliance with compression garments and leg elevation is extremely low, especially among the elderly. The premise behind the VenoValve is that by reducing the underlying causes of CVI, reflux and venous hypertension, the debilitating symptoms of CVI will decrease, resulting in improvement in the quality of the lives of CVI sufferers.
We estimate that there are approximately 2.4 million people in the U.S. who would be candidates for the VenoValve.
VenoValve Clinical Status
After consultation with the FDA, and as a precursor to the U.S. pivotal trial, we conducted a small first-in-human study for the VenoValve in Colombia which included eleven (11) patients. Endpoints for the VenoValve first-in-human study included safety (device related adverse events), reflux, measured by doppler, an rVCCS score, which is used by the clinician to measure disease regression and progression, a VAS score used by the patient to measure pain, and a quality of life measurement.
Final results from the one (1) year first-in-human study were presented at the Charing Cross International Symposium in April of 2021. Among the eleven (11) patients in the study, reflux improved an average of 54%, Venous Clinical Severity Scores (“VCSSs”) improved an average of 56%, and visual analog scale (VAS) scores, which are used by patients to measure pain, improved an average of 76%, all at one (1) year when compared to pre-surgery levels. VCSS scores are commonly used by clinicians in practice and in clinical trials to objectively assess outcomes in the treatment of venous disease, and include ten characteristics including pain, inflammation, skin changes such as pigmentation and induration, the number of active ulcers, and ulcer duration. The improvement in VCSS scores is significant and indicates the VenoValve patients who had severe CVI pre-surgery, had mild CVI or the complete absence of disease at one-year post surgery.
There were no device related safety incidences during the one (1) year first-in-human study. Non-device related safety incidences were minor and included one (1) fluid pocket (which was aspirated), intolerance from Coumadin anticoagulation therapy, three (3) minor wound infections (treated with antibiotics), and one occlusion due to patient non-compliance with anti-coagulation therapy.
An IDE from the FDA is required before a medical device company can proceed with a pivotal trial for a class III medical device. On April 1, 2021, we received notification from the FDA that our IDE application for the VenoValve U.S. pivotal trial was approved. We have named the U.S. pivotal trial for the VenoValve the SAVVE (Surgical Anti-reflux Venous Valve Endoprosthesis) study. It is a prospective, non-blinded, single arm, multi-center study of seventy-five (75) CVI patients to be enrolled at up to twenty (20) U.S. sites.
No product modifications for the VenoValve were necessary following the first-in-human study and the SAVVE trial is evaluating the same device that was used in the first-in-human study. Endpoints for the SAVVE trial mirror those endpoints used for the first-in-human study. The primary safety endpoint for the pivotal trial is a material adverse safety event (mortality, deep wound infection, major bleeding, ipsilateral deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism) in no more than twenty six percent (26%) of the patients at one (1) month post implantation, and the primary effectiveness endpoint for the pivotal trial is improvement in reflux of at least thirty percent (30%), measured at six (6) months post VenoValve implantation in at least fifty five percent (55%) of the patients. In the first-in-human study there were no reported material adverse safety events at one (1) month post implantation, and reflux improved an average of fifty six percent (56%) at six (6) months post implantation. At least a thirty percent (30%) improvement in reflux occurred in ninety percent (90%) of the patients. rVCSS scoring to measure disease manifestations, VAS scores to measure pain, and quality of life measurements will also be monitored in the study.
| 11 |
On August 3, 2020, we announced that the FDA granted Breakthrough Device Designation status to the VenoValve. The FDA’s Breakthrough Devices Program was established to enable priority review for devices that provide more effective treatment or diagnosis of life threatening or irreversibly debilitating diseases or conditions. The goal of the FDA’s Breakthrough Devices Program is to provide patients and health care providers with timely access to medical devices by speeding up their development, assessment, and review, while preserving the FDA’s mission to protect and promote public health.
At the end of the VenoValve first-in-human study, eight (8) study participants agreed to additional monitoring. In August of 2021, longer-term two (2) year follow-up data was presented at the Society of Vascular Surgery Conference in San Diego, for the cohort of eight (8) patients. That data indicated no recurrences of the severe CVI that was present pre-VenoValve, including no ulcer recurrences for those patients whose venous ulcers had healed following VenoValve surgery. There were no reported safety issues from the end of one (1) year first-in-human study to the end of the two (2) year reporting period. In addition, the patients continued to improve, reporting 63%, 60%, and 93%, average improvements in reflux, VCSS, and VAS scores, respectively, at an average of two (2) years post VenoValve surgery compared to pre-VenoValve levels.
In October of 2021, we announced that the first patient in the SAVVE pivotal trial underwent successful VenoValve implantation surgery and had been discharged from the hospital. During April 2022 our twentieth site in the SAVVE study became active and is eligible to enroll patients.
COVID continues to have indirect consequences on the SAVVE clinical trial. As reported in the media, the effects of COVID COVID have resulted in an exodus of health care providers leaving the profession. These staffing issues continue to put an enormous strain on all hospital resources including clinical staffs. This lack of available clinical personnel continues to slow enrollment at our clinical sites.
COVID also impacts our patient population. Patients with COVID or who are unwilling to get vaccinated, are currently excluded from our study. In addition, concerns about getting COVID impact the patients’ willingness to undergo an elective surgical procedure with a one-night hospital stay. Our goal continues to be to fully enroll the SAVVE pivotal trial by the end of the first quarter of 2023. We continue to monitor patient enrollment and will change our enrollment guidance for SAVVE, if necessary, when we have sufficient information to do so.
enVVe
On September 21, 2022, we announced the development of a non-surgical transcatheter based replacement venous valve called enVVe™, for the treatment of CVI of the deep veins of the leg. Preliminary bench testing and animal testing for enVVe have already been successfully completed and the Company has filed an application seeking approval to begin first-in-human (FIH) testing in Columbia, which we expect to receive by the end of 2022.
The enVVe first-in-human trial, which will take place in Colombia, will be known as the Transcatheter Anti-reflux, Venous Valve Endoprosthesis (TAVVE) FIH study. The initial phase of the TAVVE-FIH study will seek to enroll 3 to 5 patients across multiple sites. Several parameters will be evaluated over the course of the study including safety and technical success of the enVVe venous valve delivery system, and the safety and clinical performance of the enVVe venous valve.
enVVe is delivered into the femoral vein of the patient via a minimally invasive procedure requiring no general anesthesia and no overnight hospital stay. Due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure, we estimate the U.S. market for enVVe to be approximately 3.5 million patients.
Capital
In February of 2021, we raised $41.4 million of capital in a public offering of our common stock. In September of 2021, we raised $20 million dollars of capital in a registered direct offering priced at the market under Nasdaq rules and purchased by a fund managed by Perceptive Advisors, a leading life sciences investment firm. We finished 2021 with approximately $55 million of cash and had approximately $2.9 million of cash and $39.8 million of investments at September 30, 2022. At our existing cash burn rate of approximately $4 million per quarter, we should have sufficient cash to fund operations through the end of 2024 and into 2025.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Overview
We reported net losses of $6.1 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing an increase in net loss of $3.7 million or 154%, due to an increase in operating expenses of $3.4 million, and a net decrease in other income and expense of $0.3 million.
Revenues
As a developmental stage Company, we are not currently generating revenue and our future revenue, if any, is expected to be diminutive and dependent on our ability to commercialize our product candidates.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.1 million or 140%, to $3.6 million from $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Of this increase, $1.9 million was due to share-based compensation from grants made during 2021, which increased share-based compensation cost to $2.2 million in 2022 from $0.3 million in 2021. The remaining $0.2 million increase reflects higher legal expenses related to building the Company’s patent portfolio.
Research and Development Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, research and development expenses increased by $1.3 million or 108%, to $2.5 million from $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase primarily resulted from $0.8 million in costs related the SAVVE study, $0.3 million in lab costs to support the SAVVE study and VenoValve continued development, and $0.2 million increase in personnel costs due to additional staff.
Gain on Extinguishment of Note Payable
For the quarter ended September 30, 2021 the Company recorded a one-time $0.3 million gain on extinguishment of note payable due to the forgiveness of the loan it had obtained under the PPP program authorized by the CARES act.
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Overview
We reported net losses of $18.5 million and $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing an increase in net loss of $11.0 million, or 147%, due to an increase in operating expenses of $10.6 million, and a decrease in other income and expense of $0.4 million.
Revenues
As a developmental stage Company, we are not currently generating revenue and our future revenue, if any, is expected to be diminutive and dependent on our ability to commercialize our product candidates.
| 13 |
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.3 million or 183%, to $11.3 million from $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Of this increase, $6.1 million was due to share-based compensation from grants made during 2021, which increased share-based compensation cost to $6.7 million in 2022 from $0.6 million in 2021.
The remaining $1.2 million increase in expenses is attributable to $0.4 million from higher legal costs mainly related to building the Company’s patent portfolio, $0.3 million of consulting costs for reimbursement codes for the Company’s product to be used once the product is commercially approved, if ever, $0.3 million from higher information technology and other office expense to support increases in staff, $0.1 million from higher compensation cost, and $0.1 million from higher insurance costs related to increased coverages for cyber risks and higher D&O insurance premiums.
Research and Development Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, research and development expenses increased by $3.1 million or 78%, to $7.1 million from $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
This increase primarily resulted from $2.8 million in costs related the SAVVE study, $0.2 million in lab costs to support the SAVVE study and VenoValve continued development, and $0.1 million in travel costs to support the SAVVE study.
Gain on Extinguishment of Note Payable
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 the Company recorded a $0.3 million gain on extinguishment of note payable due to the forgiveness of the loan it had obtained under the PPP program authorized by the CARES act.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the nine-months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred losses from operations of $18.5 million and used $11.7 million cash in operating activities. The net cash used in operating activities during the 2022 period increased by $3.0 from $8.7 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2021.
The losses and the uses of cash are primarily due to the Company’s administrative and product research and development activities. Administrative functions relate to costs to support the Company’s public reporting and investor relations activities as well as internal administrative functions. Research and development activities are for continued product development and clinical trials for the VenoValve, currently primarily the SAVVE study. The Company will continue to incur these costs to complete its clinical trials, enhance products, develop new products, and operate as a public company. Although we have discretion in how we use the Company’s cash resources, we expect to continue these activities for the foreseeable future as we seek to obtain regulatory approval for our lead product candidate. We are not currently generating revenue and do not expect significant revenue until we successfully commercialize our lead product candidate.
Our cash flows from investing activity have historically consisted of purchases of property and equipment for our lab and offices. However, during the period ending September 30, 2022, we commenced a program to invest excess cash in US Treasury bills. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we purchased $42.2 million of these investments and expect to continue investing as the treasury bills mature and as allowed by the cash requirements of our operations. Also, during the nine months ending September 30, 2022, we purchased $0.1 million of property and equipment consisting primarily of lab and test equipment.
We do not currently have material commitments for capital expenditures or other expenditures with the exception of our facility lease commitment of $0.4 million per year. However, we expect a modest increase in purchases of property and equipment as we continue SAVVE and plan for commercialization of the VenoValve.
| 14 |
The Company has historically funded its operations through financing activities such as the capital raises completed in 2021. During 2021, the Company raised an aggregate of $57.4 million in net proceeds in private and public placements of its securities. Our cash balance as of September 30, 2022, is $2.9 million. In addition, we have $39.8 million in investments, for total cash and investments of $42.7 million.
Our future capital requirements will remain dependent upon a variety of factors, especially including the success of our clinical trials and related product development costs and our ability to successfully bring products to market. At our existing cash burn rate of approximately $4 million per quarter, we should have sufficient cash to fund operations through the end of 2024 and into 2025. With primary endpoints following full enrollment in the SAVVE pivotal trial of thirty (30) days for safety, and six (6) months for effectiveness, we expect to have primary endpoint data well in advance of the need to raise additional capital. Any inability to raise additional financing would have a material adverse effect on us.
Based upon our cash and working capital as of September 30, 2022, we have sufficient capital resources to meet our obligations as they become due for at least one year after the date of this Report and sustain operations.
As of October 25, 2022, our cash balance was $2.0 million and our investment balance was $39.9 million.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt the global economy and has negatively impacted large populations including people and businesses that may be directly or indirectly involved with the operation of our Company and the manufacturing, development, and testing of our product candidates. COVID with its variants continues to have both direct and indirect consequences on our clinical trial. Several of our clinical sites put elective surgeries on hold and prohibited potential study subjects from coming to the hospital for screening. Further COVID resurgences put an enormous strain on all hospital resources including clinical staffs. The lack of available clinical personnel both slows enrollment and impacts the speed at which we can activate clinical sites.
COVID has also impacted our patient population. Patients with COVID or who have had COVID within ninety (90) days of their screening, are excluded from our study until after the ninety (90) day period has passed. In addition, concerns about getting COVID impact the patients’ willingness to undergo an elective surgical procedure with a one-night hospital stay. As hospital clinical operations return to more normal levels, our goal is to fully enroll the SAVVE pivotal trial by the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023. We continue to monitor the ongoing overall impact of COVID on the SAVVE clinical trial and will issue updates when appropriate.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (who is our Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (who is our Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2022, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations of Controls
Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. Controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time we may be subject to litigation and arbitration claims incidental to its business. Such claims may not be covered by our insurance coverage, and even if they are, if claims against us are successful, they may exceed the limits of applicable insurance coverage.
On July 9, 2020, the Company was served with a civil complaint filed in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Orange by a former employee, Robert Rankin, who resigned his employment on or about March 30, 2020. The case is entitled Rankin v. Hancock Jaffe Laboratories, Inc. et al., Case No. 30-2020-01146555-CU-WR-CJC and was filed on May 27, 2020. The complaint asserts several causes of action, including a cause of action for failure to timely pay Mr. Rankin’s accrued and unused vacation and three months’ severance under his July 16, 2018 employment agreement with the Company. Mr. Rankin alleges that he was forced to resign, however, we believe that he did not give the Company notice or an opportunity to cure the allegations. The complaint seeks, inter alia, back pay, unpaid wages, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs. On September 3, 2020 the Company and its Chief Executive Officer were served with a second complaint filed in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Orange by Mr. Rankin. The case is entitled Rankin v. Hancock Jaffe Laboratories, Inc. et al., Case No. 30-2020-01157857 and was filed on August 31, 2020. The complaint asserts several causes of action, including defamation, unlawful labor code violations, sex-based discrimination, unfair competition, and seeks damages for lost wages, emotional and mental distress, consequential damages, punitive damages and attorney’s fees and costs. Mr. Rankin resigned as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer on March 30, 2020. The Company has denied all claims in both matters (which have now been consolidated) and has filed a counterclaim asserting that Rankin has breached his employment agreement with the Company to the Company’s damage. The Company continues to believe it has meritorious defenses to both matters, which are currently set for trial June 12, 2023.
