Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
(k) Specific Performance. The Sponsor acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by the Sponsor, money damages will be inadequate and Acquiror will have no adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Sponsor in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, Acquiror shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the Sponsor and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such Party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
(l) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the Parties is expressly canceled; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the Parties under the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Acquiror or any of the obligations of the Sponsor under any other agreement between the Sponsor and Acquiror, or any certificate or instrument executed by the Sponsor in favor of Acquiror, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Acquiror or any of the obligations of the Sponsor under this Agreement.
(m) Further Assurances. From time to time, at another Party’s request and without further consideration (but at the requesting Party’s reasonable cost and expense), each Party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(n) Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile signature or by email in portable document format in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 3(f).
(g) Interpretation. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (iii) the words “herein,” “hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other subdivision of this Agreement; and (iv) the term “or” means “and/or”. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(h) Notices. All notices, consents, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered (i) in person, (ii) by e-mail (having obtained electronic delivery confirmation thereof), (iii) one (1) Business Day after being sent, if sent by reputable, nationally recognized overnight courier service or (iv) three (3) Business Days after being mailed, if sent by registered or certified mail, pre-paid and return receipt requested, provided, however, that notice given pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) above shall not be effective unless a duplicate copy of such notice is also given in person or by e-mail (having obtained electronic delivery confirmation thereof), in each case to the addresses specified on the signature page hereto (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified by like notice).
(i) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of Acquiror and the Stockholder. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.
(j) Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
(k) Specific Performance. The Stockholder acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by the Stockholder, money damages will be inadequate and Acquiror will have no adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Stockholder in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, Acquiror shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the Stockholder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such Party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
(l) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the Parties is expressly canceled; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the Parties under the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Acquiror or any of the obligations of the Stockholder under any other agreement between the Stockholder and Acquiror, or any certificate or instrument executed by the Stockholder in favor of Acquiror, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Acquiror or any of the obligations of the Stockholder under this Agreement.
(m) Further Assurances. From time to time, at another Party’s request and without further consideration (but at the requesting Party’s reasonable cost and expense), each Party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(n) Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile signature or by email in portable document format in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

PROFUSA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 — Organization, Description of Business, Going Concern and Significant Risks and Uncertainties
Description of Business
Profusa, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of California on May 11, 2009. The Company engaged in the development of a new generation of biointegrated sensors that potentially empowers the individual with the ability to monitor their unique body chemistry.
The Company’s technology enables the development of bioengineered sensors that are designed to become one with the body to detect and continuously transmit actionable, clinical-grade data for personal and medical use. The Company’s first offering in the European Union, the Lumee™ Oxygen Platform, is designed to report reliable tissue oxygen levels at various regions of interest, both acutely and long-term. The Lumee™ Oxygen Platform has been designed for use in applications where monitoring of compromised tissue is beneficial, such as peripheral artery disease that results in narrowing of blood vessels and reduced blood flow to the lower limbs; chronic wounds (diabetic ulcers, pressure sores) that do not heal properly; and reconstructive surgery.
The Company’s research and development efforts are primarily focused on its Lumee™ Glucose Platform which is a system designed to monitor glucose levels in interstitial fluid, continuously and long-term. A tiny, biocompatible gel injected under the skin acts as a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for several months. The ability of Lumee™ Glucose to provide continuous glucose monitoring with only an initial single injection, is an attractive alternative for people with diabetes to manage their disease without the need for frequent finger sticks required by standard glucometers, or the need for weekly sensor replacement as required by current short-term needle-type CGMs.
On November 6, 2022, the Company’s board of directors unanimously approved the pursuit of a business combination transaction involving the Company. On November 7, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger”) with NorthView Acquisition Corp (“NorthView”). The Company obtained Shareholder approval and successfully completed the merger on July 11, 2025 where a subsidiary of NorthView merged with the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of NorthView.
On February 11, 2025, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Merger Agreement (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to revise the Company Reference Value (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to adjust for financing proceeds received by Profusa prior to the Business Combination, along with debt conversions and incentive shares to be issued. Additionally, the Amendment (i) revised the definition of “Milestone Event III” such that the parties extended the period for Profusa to consummate the APAC Joint Venture (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and receive the related funding from December 31, 2024 until December 31, 2025, and (ii) revised the definition of “Milestone Event IV” to change the earnout revenue target from $99,702,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 to an earnout revenue target of $11,864,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026.
In relation to Milestone Event III: On August 8, 2023, a new wholly owned subsidiary, Profusa Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd (“APAC”), was created and incorporated by the Company under the laws of Singapore. Upon creation, the new entity was capitalized by the Company by payment of $1,000 for 1,000 Ordinary Shares. As a result, at the time of incorporation, the entity became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The entity was created with the expectation of jointly conducting the business of developing, manufacturing and commercializing the Lumee Glucose and the Lumee Oxygen products, currently under development by the Company, together with a third party. No business or activities will have been conducted by the entity from the date of formation through and until the closing date of the proposed License Agreement and Shareholders Agreement between the Company and Best Life Technology Ltd, an entity wholly owned and controlled by the Tasly Holding Group (“Tasly”) which is a related party of the Company. In connection with and on or around the same date as the closing of the proposed Merger between the Company and NorthView, the Company expects to sign and execute a License Agreement and Shareholders Agreement (the “APAC Joint Venture”) setting forth the relative and other terms under which the development and business activities of the entity will be conducted.

Going Concern
The Company has incurred significant net operating losses from operations. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has a working capital deficit of approximately $63.2 million. For the six months-ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $5.1 million and used approximately $1.1 million of cash in operating activities. Management expects to continue to incur additional substantial losses in the foreseeable future as a result of research and development activities. The Company has been able to finance its operations primarily with the proceeds from the issuance of equity and debt instruments and to a lesser extent, revenues from government grants. Additional funds may be necessary to maintain current operations and will be required for successful product commercialization efforts.
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has reviewed the relevant conditions and events surrounding its ability to continue as a going concern including among others: historical losses, projected future results, increased tariffs, cash requirements for the upcoming year, funding capacity, net working capital, and future access to capital.
On July 11, 2025 Profusa, Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as NorthView Acquisition Corporation, consummated its previously announced business combination with Profusa, Inc., a California corporation, pursuant to that certain Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. At the Closing and pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreement, New Profusa issued a PIPE Convertible Note in the principal amount of $10,000,000 (the “Initial Note”) for a purchase price of $9,000,000, reflecting a 10% Original Issuance Discount (“OID”). Management believes this liquidity is not sufficient to alleviate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued in August 2026.
As part of the closing, the Company had cash inflows of $1.3 million from the NorthView trust account, net of redemptions, and the $9 million net PIPE convertible note. Cash outflows included marketing fees and vendor payments which totaled $3.4 million due at closing. Subsequent to the closing of the Merger, there continue to be factors which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Significant Risks and Uncertainties
The Company operates in a dynamic and highly competitive industry and believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows: ability to obtain future financing; advances and trends in new technologies and
industry standards; results of clinical trials; regulatory approval and market acceptance of the Company’s products; development of sales channels; certain strategic relationships; litigation or claims against the Company based on intellectual property, patent, product, regulatory, or other factors; and the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its growth.
Products developed by the Company require approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other international regulatory agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that the products will receive the necessary approvals. If the Company is denied approval, approval is delayed or the Company is unable to maintain approval, it could have a materially adverse impact on the Company.
The Company has expended and will continue to expend substantial funds to complete the research, development and clinical testing of product candidates. The Company also will be required to expend additional funds to establish commercial-scale manufacturing arrangements and to provide for the marketing and distribution of products that receive regulatory approval. For any periods after the twelve months subsequent to the filing of these financial statements as of June 30, 2025, the Company may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing to commercialize its products. If adequate funds are unavailable on a timely basis from operations or additional sources of financing, the Company may have to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of its research or development programs which would materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Inflation, Monetary Response, and Economic Impacts
The world economy is experiencing stubbornly high inflation, a challenge not faced for decades. Following the global financial crisis, with inflationary pressures muted, interest rates were extremely low for years and investors became accustomed to low volatility. The resulting easing of financial conditions supported economic growth, but it also contributed to a buildup of financial vulnerabilities. With inflation at multi-decade highs, monetary authorities in advanced economies are accelerating the pace of policy normalization. Policymakers have continued to tighten policy against a backdrop of rising inflation and currency pressures, albeit with notable differences across regions. Global financial conditions have tightened notably this year, leading to capital outflows. Amid heightened economic and geopolitical uncertainties, investors have aggressively pulled back from risk-taking and adjusted their investment preferences generally. Key gauges of systemic risk, such as higher dollar funding costs and counterparty credit spreads, have risen. There is a risk of a disorderly tightening of financial conditions that may be amplified by vulnerabilities built over the years.
In addition, our business, growth, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by instability or changes in a country’s or region’s economic conditions; inflation; changes in laws or regulations or in the interpretation of existing laws or regulations, whether caused by a change in government or otherwise; increased difficulty of conducting business in a country or region due to actual or potential political or military conflict; or action by the U.S. or foreign governments that may restrict our ability to transact business in a foreign country or with certain foreign individuals or entities. A possible slowdown in global trade caused by increasing tariffs or other restrictions could decrease consumer or corporate confidence and reduce consumer, government and corporate spending in countries inside or outside the U.S., which could adversely affect our operations. Climate-related events, including extreme weather events and natural disasters and their effect on critical infrastructure in the U.S. or internationally, could have similar adverse effects on our operations, users, or third-party suppliers.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the interim unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2025, the results of its operations and changes to stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025, or any other interim periods, or any future year or period. All amounts included herein have been rounded except where otherwise stated. As figures are rounded, numbers presented throughout this document may not add up precisely to the totals we provide and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures. Certain disclosures have been consolidated or omitted from the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures as of December 31, 2024 and for the year then ended as found in the Form S-4/A filed by the Company with the SEC on April 3, 2025.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company’s management regularly assesses these estimates, including those related to accrued liabilities, valuation of the convertible debt, and senior notes, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and valuation of stock-based awards. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company does not have any accounts receivable with customers in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The Company has developed policies that when accounts receivables are held with customers, they are recorded at the point in time in which management determines it is probable that the Company will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services transferred to the customer.
The Company will then perform ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, if necessary, recognize allowances for potential credit losses. The Company does not require any allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and other receivables. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is held by one financial institution. Such deposits may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on its cash.
The Company’s other receivables are represented by amounts owned by two government agencies under the government grants.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, cash consisted of cash on deposit with a bank denominated in U.S. dollars.
Deferred Offering Costs
Specific incremental costs, consisting of legal, accounting and other fees and costs, directly attributable to a proposed or actual offering of securities are deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of the offering. In the event of a significant delay or cancellation of a planned offering of securities, all of the costs are expensed. Offering costs capitalized as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $4.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The deferred offering costs as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 includes $1.3 million and $0.8 million respectively, of advances to NorthView to fund costs associated with the business combination.
Government Grants
The Company receives payments from government entities under non-refundable grants in support of product development programs. The grants received fall within two categories:
| a. | Expense Reimbursement Grants – grants in which the Company is entitled to claim from a government entity reimbursement of certain qualified expenses incurred to date. The nature and amount of such expenses are determined by each respective grant; |
| b. | Fixed Fee Grants – grants in which the total amount of the grant is fixed and the disbursements are made based on submission to the grantor of specified deliverables. |
The Company has concluded that all government grants received are outside the scope of ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, because such grants do not involve a reciprocal transfer in which each party receives and sacrifices approximately commensurate value. Therefore, the grants meet the definition of a contribution and are non- exchange transactions. The Company has further concluded that Subtopic 958-605, Not-for-Profit-Entities-Revenue Recognition does not apply to the government grants received, as the Company is a business entity, and the grants are with governmental agencies or units.
8
In absence of explicit U.S. GAAP guidance on contributions received by business entities, the Company made a policy decision to apply by analogy recognition and measurement guidance in International Accounting Standard 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance (“IAS 20”). Under this approach recognize grants at fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attaching to them, and that the grants will be received. The Company recognizes as income the amounts received or receivable from expense reimbursement grants to the extent, and in the period in which, the qualifying costs have been incurred. The Company recognizes as income the amounts received or receivable from fixed fee grants by applying the proportional performance method. Under this method, grant income is recognized using the same proportion as the costs incurred to date to the total expected cost of the project, but limiting the income to be recognized to the amount to which the Company is entitled based on the submitted deliverables.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of other receivables, accounts payable, promissory notes, convertible promissory notes and senior notes. The Company states accounts payable at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment. The promissory notes are stated at amortized cost, which approximates their fair value, because the Company believes their terms approximate those that would be available to it on a similar loan from an unrelated party. The Tasly convertible debt issued between June 2023-February 2024 (Note 5) is carried at fair value based on unobservable market inputs.
Recent Accounting Standards
From time to time, new accounting standards are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and through the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, there have been no new, or existing, recently issued accounting pronouncements that are of significance, or potential significance, that impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, primarily requiring more detailed disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on the income tax disclosures. No material financial impact will result in this expanded disclosure requirement.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 (“ASU 2024-03”), Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”). ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. ASU 2024-03 does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. As revised by ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, the provisions of ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. With the exception of expanding disclosures to include more granular income statement expense categories, the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
Note 3 — Fair Value Measurement
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
9
Level 2 — Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, were as follows (in thousands):

The Company elected to measure its Tasly convertible debt at fair value (Note 5) with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur. The Convertible Debt fair values were determined using the discounted cash flow methodology based on probability weighted scenarios of the convertible notes conversion. At issuance of the first $1 million on June 26, 2023 the time to event was 0.28 years and the discount rate applied was 14.54%. At issuance of the next $0.3 million on July 20, 2023, the time to event was 0.22 years and the discount rate applied was 13.82%. At issuance of the additional $0.3 million on August 15, 2023, the time to event was 0.15 years and the discount rate applied was 13.70%. The final amount which was less than $0.02 million was issued on February 6, 2024; the time to event was 0.66 years and the discount rate applied was 13.69%.
On June 30, 2025, the time event was .03 years and the discount rate applied was 12.66%. Based on this method, the Fair value of the convertible debt at the date of inception was $1.6 million, the fair value at June 30, 2025 was $2.1 million.

Convertible Debt
Convertible Notes
The annual effective interest rate of Convertible Notes was estimated from 12.54% to 53.28% per year for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 12.66% to 53.28% per year for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 was $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2025 the outstanding balance of convertible notes includes related party convertible notes of $14.1 million. As of December 31, 2024 the outstanding balance of convertible notes includes related party convertible notes of $13.3 million. These notes were converted into New Profusa common stock upon the successful closing of the merger on July 11, 2025; see subsequent events (Note 14).
Tasly Convertible Debt
In June 2023, the Company entered into a short-term loan agreement with a related party under which it may borrow up to $1.6 million, of which $1.0 million was borrowed on June 26, 2023, $0.3 million was borrowed on July 20, 2023, $0.3 million was borrowed on August 15, 2023 and the final $0.02 million was borrowed in February 2024 (the “Convertible debt”).
The loans bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum, 24% per annum default interest rate, and originally matured on December 31, 2023. The original maturity date was extended to March 31, 2024, subject to the parties’ decision to extend thereafter. Upon occurrence of certain events of default by the Company, including failure to repay in full the amounts owed at maturity, the lender will have an option to convert the entire outstanding balance and accrued but unpaid interest under the Convertible debt into senior unsecured promissory notes on substantially the same terms as the outstanding Senior Notes as of June 30, 2025. In the event the Company fails to complete the formation of the APAC Joint Venture or fail to repay the amounts under the Tasly Convertible Debt when they become due, the lender will have an option to convert the entire outstanding balance and accrued but unpaid interest under the Convertible debt into either (i) senior unsecured promissory notes on substantially the same terms as the outstanding Senior Notes as of June 30, 2025, or (ii) the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.92 per share.
12
The Company elected to apply the fair value option to account for the Tasly Convertible debt. Accordingly, no features of the Convertible debt are bifurcated and separately accounted for. The fair value of the Convertible debt was $2.1 million as of June 30, 2025. Accrued stated interest on the Tasly Convertible debt was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Accrued stated interest on the Tasly Convertible debt was $0.05 million and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Accrued interest since note origination is $0.47 million in total. The total loss on fair value remeasurement from origination through June 30, 2025 was $0.45 million, and the loss on fair value remeasurement was recognized of $0.1 million through June 30, 2025.
Senior Notes
January-March 2024 Senior Notes — During the months January through March 2024, the Company issued additional Senior Notes to investors with the principal amount of $0.7 million on substantially the same terms as the Senior Notes issued in 2022 (as amended in November 2022).
April - June 2024 Senior Notes — During the months April through June 2024, the Company issued additional Senior Notes to investors with the principal amount of $0.4 million on substantially the same terms as the Senior Notes issued in 2022 (as amended in November 2022). Additionally, the Company repaid $0.1 million of principal on Senior Notes with investors during the respective period.
January-March 2025 Senior Notes — During the months January through March 2025, the Company issued additional Senior Secured Convertible Notes to investors with the principal amount of $0.8 million on substantially the same terms as the Senior Notes issued in 2022 (as amended in November 2022). These notes were issued at the same 12% interest terms as all of their other Senior Secured Convertible Notes, and will convert into New Profusa shares at $0.50 per share. These notes have an 18-month maturity, which will be accelerated and convert into New Profusa shares upon the successful closing of the business combination.
April - June 2025 Senior Notes — During the months April through June 2025, the Company issued additional Senior Secured Convertible Notes to investors with the principal amount of $0.4 million issued on substantially the same terms as the Senior Notes issued in 2022 (as amended in November 2022). These notes were issued at the same 12% interest terms as all of their other Senior Secured Convertible Notes, and will convert into New Profusa shares at $0.50 per share. These notes have an 18-month maturity, which will be accelerated and convert into New Profusa shares upon the successful closing of the business combination.
Additionally, the Company issued $0.3 million in Senior Notes repayable upon the closing of the Business Combination which accrue interest at 0%.
Of the $27.9 million of Senior Notes, $10.0 million is outstanding with related parties and $17.9 million is outstanding with unrelated parties as of June 30, 2025.. Of the $25.3 million of Senior Notes outstanding on December 31, 2024, $9.5 million was outstanding with related parties and $15.8 million was outstanding with unrelated parties.
The annual effective interest rate of Senior Notes was estimated from 0% to 12.15% and 0% to 12.55% per year for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Promissory Notes
In a series of transactions during 2010 and 2011 two of the Company’s founders provided $0.2 million to the Company to fund general corporate purposes in exchange for promissory notes. The notes accrue interest annually at a simple interest rate of 5% with no set maturity date.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company borrowed $0.3 million from two of its founders at zero interest rate to finance its short-term operations, from which $0.2 million was repaid in the same period.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company borrowed short-term promissory notes of $0.3 million from an existing investor and additional $0.1 million from an unrelated party repayable on demand at any time after December 31, 2023, with annual interest rate of 12%.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not make any repayments from the outstanding balance of the promissory notes.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, accrued and unpaid interest on the promissory notes was $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Interest expense on the promissory notes was less than $0.1 million for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The carrying value of the promissory notes as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $0.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
Paycheck Protection Program
On May 25, 2021, the Company borrowed $1.3 million (the “PPP Loan 2”) as a Paycheck Protection Program loan. The Paycheck Protection Program, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, provides for loans to qualifying businesses and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The annual interest rate of the PPP Loan 2 is 1%.
Under the terms of PPP Loan 2, if the Company does not submit forgiveness application within 24 weeks the initial disbursement of the loan (the “Covered Period”), the Company must begin to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest starting 10 months from the end of the Covered Period until May 25, 2026. Interest on the loan continues to accumulate during any deferment period. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has not applied for forgiveness under PPP Loan 2.
As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025, the Company was in default on PPP Loan 2 due to non-payment of minimal repayment amounts required by the terms of PPP Loan 2. Accordingly, the Company classified the entire amount outstanding under PPP Loan 2 as current and accrued respective late penalties for the total amount of less than $0.1 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The total past due amount of PPP Loan 2 repayments as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $1.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2025, the contractual future minimum payments for the PPP Loan 2 were as follows (in thousands):
| Year Ending December 31, | Amount | |||
| 2025 (remainder) | 1,245 | |||
| 2026 | 145 | |||

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Lease Obligations
Beginning in October 2024, the Company entered into a lease agreement whereby the Company agreed to rent its office and lab facilities under month-to-month tenancy. The monthly rent payable under the lease is $25 thousand. This month-to-month lease automatically renews every four months, unless written termination is provided.
Operating costs for short-term leases include variable lease costs of $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, compared to $0.2 million and $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Starting from August 2022 the Company recognized lease expense in the amount of monthly rent as incurred. The Company recognized operating lease costs for monthly rent of $75 thousand and $150 thousand for each of the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2025 and 2024. Total operating lease costs with common area maintenance variable costs were $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Contingencies and Indemnifications
From time to time, the Company may have certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and that such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount.
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but that have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations. However, the Company may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations.

Voting Rights
The holders of convertible preferred stock shares are entitled to vote on all matters on which the common stockholders are entitled to vote. Each holder of convertible preferred stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of common stock shares into which the shares held by such holder could be converted as of the Record Date. Holders of convertible preferred stock and common stock generally vote as a single class.
Dividends
Holders of convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends, when, as and if declared by the board of directors, at the annual rate of 8% of the original issue price, payable in preference and priority to any declaration or payment of any distribution on common stock of the Company in such calendar year. No distributions may be made with respect to the common stock unless dividends on the convertible preferred stock have been declared and all declared dividends on the convertible preferred stock have been paid or set aside for payment to the holders of the convertible preferred stock. Dividends are noncumulative, and none were declared as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025.
Liquidation Preference
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series C/C-1 convertible preferred stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the Series B convertible preferred stock, the Series A convertible preferred stock or common stock, an amount per share for each share of Series C/C-1 convertible preferred stock held by them equal to the sum of the liquidation preference amount of respective original issue price per share, as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar event (“anti-dilution adjustments”) plus all declared but unpaid dividends on such shares. Should the Company’s legally available assets be insufficient to satisfy the liquidation preferences, the funds will be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of Series C/C-1 convertible preferred stock in proportion to the preferential amount each holder is otherwise entitled to receive.
After full payment to holders of the Series C/C-1 convertible preferred stock, payment should be made to the holders of Series B convertible preferred stock, in preference to the holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock or common stock, in the amount per share for each share of Series B convertible preferred stock held by them equal to the original issue price of such share, adjusted for any anti-dilution adjustments, plus all declared and unpaid dividends on such shares. Should the Company’s legally available assets be insufficient to satisfy the liquidation preferences, the funds will be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of Series B convertible preferred stock in proportion to the preferential amount each holder is otherwise entitled to receive.
After full payment to holders of the Series B convertible preferred stock, payment should be made to the holders of Series A convertible preferred stock, in preference to the holders of the common stock, in the amount per share for each share of Series A convertible preferred stock held by them equal to the original issue price of such share, adjusted for any anti-dilution adjustments, plus all declared and unpaid dividends on such shares. Should the Company’s legally available assets be insufficient to satisfy the liquidation preferences, the funds will be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of Series A convertible preferred stock in proportion to the preferential amount each holder is otherwise entitled to receive.
After the payment to the holders of convertible preferred stock of the full preferential amounts specified above, the entire remaining assets of the Company legally available for distribution by the Company shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the common stock and holders of convertible preferred stock as-if-converted to common stock basis in proportion to the number of shares of common stock held by them.
Conversion
Each share of convertible preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into the number of fully-paid and non-assessable shares of common stock that result from dividing the applicable original issue price per share by the applicable conversion price per share at the time of conversion, as adjusted for any anti-dilution adjustments If, after the issuance date of convertible preferred stock, the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have sold, additional shares of common stock at a price lower than the original issuance price, except for certain exceptions allowed, the conversion price of convertible preferred stock would be adjusted. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s convertible preferred stock was convertible into the Company’s shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis.
16
Each share of convertible preferred stock is convertible into common stock automatically upon the earlier of (i) immediately upon the closing of a firmly underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of any class or security of the Company in which (a) the gross offering price per share reflects a pre-offering valuation of the Company of not less than $200 million, calculated on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis before giving effect to the issuance of the securities to be sold in such public offering, and (b) the cash proceeds to the Company (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) are at least $50 million (a “Qualified IPO”); or (ii) the Company’s receipt of a written request for such conversion from at least a majority of holders of the then outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock, voting as a single class on an as-if-converted basis.
Redemption and Balance Sheet Classification
Convertible preferred stock is recorded in mezzanine equity because while it is not mandatorily redeemable, it will become redeemable at the option of the stockholders upon the occurrence of certain deemed liquidation events that are considered not solely within the Company’s control.
Upon the closing of the merger, all Profusa Convertible Preferred stock was converted into New Profusa common shares, as further described in the Subsequent Events disclosure below (See Note 14).
Note 8 — Common Stock
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s certificate of incorporation authorized issuance of 40,000,000 shares of common stock. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the Board of Directors, subject to prior rights of the preferred stockholders. As of June 30, 2025, no dividends have been declared to date.
The Company had reserved shares of common stock, on an as-converted basis, for future issuance as follows:

Note 9 — Stock Option Plan
In 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) under which 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been initially reserved for issuance to employees, directors and consultants. The number of reserved shares has been increased over the years and currently equals 4,636,454 shares. Options granted under the Plan may be either incentive stock options (“ISO”) or nonqualified stock options (“NSO”). ISOs may be granted only to Company employees, including officers and directors who are also employees. NSOs may be granted to Company employees, consultants and advisors.
A person who owns (or is deemed to own) stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company will not be granted an ISO unless the exercise price of such option is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant and the option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant. Options granted generally vest over four years.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, stock option activity comprised of grants totaling 1,560,091 options, with no options exercised during the period. Intrinsic values are calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the fair value of the common stock for the options that had exercise prices that were lower than the fair value per share of the common stock on the date of exercise.
The total fair value of options vested for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was less than $0.1 million.
As of June 30, 2025, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for stock options was $3.0 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of stock options is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards.
As of June 30, 2024, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for stock options was less than $0.1 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of stock options is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards.
Nonrecourse Promissory Notes to Early Exercise Stock Options
In 2018, one of the Company’s executives early exercised 1,380,015 of his stock options by issuing a promissory note to the Company. As the promissory note is nonrecourse this exercise of stock options with a promissory note is not considered a substantive exercise for accounting purposes. Therefore, no receivable for the promissory note was recorded on the Company’s balance sheet. This arrangement was accounted for as modifications to the original stock options which were exercised by issuing a promissory note. Such modification did not result in additional stock-based compensation expense. As of June 30, 2025 these options were fully vested.

The Company issued convertible notes (also referred to as junior notes), Tasly convertible debt and promissory notes to certain shareholders. Refer to Note 5 for detail.
Note 11 — Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Net loss per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not include dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted-average shares outstanding, as the inclusion of common share equivalents would be antidilutive. The common share equivalents consist of stock options, convertible notes, convertible preferred stock and common stock.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Note 12 — Government Grant Revenue
Government grant revenue consists of amounts we earn under grants from two government agencies: NIH and DARPA. These grants are provided either in the form of expense reimbursement (expense reimbursement grants) or as on a fixed fee basis (fixed fee grants). Under the expense reimbursement grants the government agencies reimburse us for a portion of our expenses (allowable expenses) that have been incurred in a given period on the basis of reports that we provide to these agencies. Fixed fee grants are awarded for specific research and development programs undertaken by us. Under these grants we receive milestone payments from the government agencies upon our submission and approval by the government of agreed upon deliverables, consisting primarily of the documented results of the specific research and development programs.

Note 13 — Segments
The Company operates as one operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer, Ben Hwang, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated net loss basis as reported on the consolidated condensed statement of operations and comprehensive loss in order to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. The CODM also utilizes the Company’s long-range plan, which includes product development roadmaps and long-range financial models, as a key input to resource allocation. The CODM function approves of key operating and strategic decisions. The CODM function views the Company’s operations and manages its business on a consolidated basis and as a single reportable operating segment. The CODM function is regularly provided with the following significant segment expenses. Significant expenses include research and development and general and administrative expenses, which are each separately presented in the Company’s consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The CODM reviews significant expenses within both the research and development and the general and administrative categories. Other segment items within net loss include interest income, interest expense and loss on change in fair value of related party loan. See the consolidated condensed financial statements for other financial information regarding the Company’s operating segment.

Note 14 — Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated its subsequent events from June 30, 2025, through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring disclosure in these condensed consolidated financial statements other than the items noted below.
On November 7, 2022, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with NorthView, and on July 11, 2025, the Business Combination closed. In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at Closing, each share of issued and outstanding Profusa Common Stock was converted into a number of shares of New Profusa Common Stock, based on the Exchange Ratio that reflects an equity valuation of Profusa of $155,000,000 (as adjusted for the Incentive Equity Value, the Private Placement Value and the Aggregate Company Incentive Amount), divided by an assumed value of New Profusa Common Stock of $10.00 per share.
The total consideration received by Profusa Security Holders at the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is the newly issued shares of Common Stock and securities convertible or exchangeable for newly issued shares of Common Stock with an aggregate value equal $255,958,617, with each Profusa Stockholder receiving for each share of Profusa Common Stock held (after giving effect to the exchange or conversion of all outstanding Profusa Preferred Stock for shares of Profusa Common Stock and treating all vested in-the-money Profusa Convertible Securities (including, on a net exercise basis, all vested qualified Profusa Options) as if such securities had been exercised as of immediately prior to the Merger, but excluding all unvested Profusa Options) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to a conversion ratio of approximately 0.34. As a result, the Profusa Security Holders received an aggregate of 25,595,862 shares of newly issued Common Stock as Merger Consideration.
22
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse capitalization in accordance with GAAP. Profusa was deemed the accounting predecessor of the combined business, and New Profusa is the successor SEC registrant, meaning that Profusa’s financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the registrant’s future periodic reports filed with the SEC.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had outstanding Profusa Preferred Stock of 17,863,934 shares, common stock of 6,984,666 shares which are made up of 5,604,651 common shares outstanding and 1,380,015 shares of common stock from in-substance nonrecourse promissory notes, and fully vested options outstanding and exercisable of 2,364,814 shares. These shares were fully converted at the completion of the Business Combination. Additionally, as of June 30, 2025, the Convertible Notes of $19.5 million and Senior Convertibles Notes of $27.9 million were converted in full at the closing of the Business Combination.
From June 30, 2025 through the closing of the Business Combination, options continued to vest on normal vesting schedules, and interest continued to accrue on the notes. Upon completing the Business Combination on July 11, 2025, all outstanding Profusa Preferred Stock of 17,863,934 shares, common stock of 6,984,666 shares, were converted into New Profusa at an exchange ratio of .3459 for 6,178,315 shares from Profusa Preferred Stock, and 2,415,67 shares of Common Stock of which 1,938,392 were from common shares outstanding and 477,284 were from common shares issued from the in-substance nonrecourse promissory notes. Additionally, 2.3 million outstanding options which were vested or expected to vest were rolled over from Profusa into New Profusa outstanding options at an exchange rate of .3459.
In addition, the following convertible notes were converted into New Profusa Common Stock based on the principal and accrued interest as of July 11, 2025. Convertible Notes with an outstanding balance of $19.6 million in principal and accrued interest converted into 2,801,697 shares of New Profusa at $7.00/share, Senior Convertible Notes with an outstanding balance of $20.8 million in principal and accrued interest converted into 5,189,138 shares of New Profusa at $4.00/share, Senior Convertible Bridge Notes of $3.1 million in principal and accrued interest were repaid in cash in the amount of $0.25 million with the remaining $2.85 million converted into 1,277,162 shares of New Profusa at $2.22/share, Senior Secured Convertible Notes of $2.8 million in principal and accrued interest converted into 5,542,261 shares of New Profusa at $0.50/share. Of the 5,542,261 New Profusa shares issued to Senior Secured Note holders, 710,220 shares were contributed by the Sponsor. As part of the initial shares at closing, the Incentive Equity Value of $29,018,330 was converted to shares at $10 per share for 2,901,833 shares allocated to the merger consideration, as defined in the Business Combination Amendment No. 4.
On July 28, 2025, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement and a related registration rights agreement (the “ELOC Registration Rights Agreement”), with Ascent (“Purchaser”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company may issue and sell to Ascent, shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $100 million, subject to certain limitations and conditions.
Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company may deliver advance notices to the Purchaser to request the purchase of shares of common stock, with each closing to occur on a trading day following the end of a 10 or fewer trading day valuation period commencing on the trading date immediately following the delivery of the Advance Notice, or as determined by the Purchaser. The purchase price per share at each Closing will be equal to 97% of the lowest volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock during the applicable valuation period, subject to a floor price and other adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The maximum purchase price at any single Closing is limited to the lower of (a) $5.0 million or (b) 100% of the average daily traded value of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding such Closing.
The net proceeds from sales that the Company makes to Ascent under the Purchase Agreement, will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells shares of Common Stock. We expect that any proceeds received from sales of Common Stock to Ascent will be used solely for the purchase of Bitcoin (which can be used for debt repayment) provided that the Company’s cash balance on the date of the applicable sale exceeds $5.0 million. If the cash balance is less than $5.0 million, proceeds to the Company shall be allocated first to bring the balance to $5.0 million and the remaining proceeds to purchase Bitcoin. As of the filing date of these June 30, 2025 financial statements, the Company has purchased $1.0 million of Bitcoin as part of the Company’s ongoing treasury strategy.

Exhibit 99.2
PROFUSA MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis provides information that Profusa, Inc.’s (hereafter referred to as Profusa or we) management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of Profusa’s results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read together with “Selected Historical Financial and Operating Data of Profusa,” the historical audited annual statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes that are included elsewhere in the current report S-4/A and the historical unaudited interim statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes that are included elsewhere in current report 8-K/A . The discussion and analysis should also be read together with the proforma financial information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 (and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025).
Profusa’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” or in other parts of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this section to “Profusa,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” refer to New Profusa, Inc. and its subsidiaries following the Business Combination (as defined below).
Business Overview
We are a clinical-stage digital health and medical technology company focused on developing biosensing solutions to improve health outcome for patients in a variety of different diseases and conditions. Our first product is Lumee Oxygen, which enables physicians to ascertain the extent of perfusion, or passage of blood through the circulatory system to an organ or tissue, in patients with Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) both during and after endovascular revascularization procedures. Lumee Oxygen has already received regulatory approval in Europe through the attainment of a CE mark; however, prior to commercialization in the U.S., Lumee Oxygen must obtain FDA clearance or approval.
The latest version of Lumee Oxygen is called Wireless Lumee Oxygen System. It has multiple components one of which is a microsensor that is injected into the tissue of the patient using a hypodermic needle. The sensor is designed so it does not need to be removed as it overcomes the foreign body response that usually inhibits the ability of permanent implants to function. The sensor contains no electronics, utilizing luminescence to send a light signal to a reader that is placed over the incision site, which in turn can send a signal to an app on a smartphone. We are in clinical trials for Lumee Glucose, our sensing solution being developed for use in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). This system targets diabetics and pre-diabetics to allow them real-time access to their glucose data, at a price point that our management thinks is comparable or lower to existing systems.
We already sell our oxygen sensor for research use only applications, namely animal models and in vitro testing. Management is targeting the European market (those jurisdictions that accept CE mark) for early launch for both Lumee Oxygen and Lumee Glucose. Lumee Oxygen’s launch in Europe occurred in 2023 and Lumee Glucose launch is expected to occur in 2025, subject to regulatory approval. We have access to key opinion leaders (KOLs) in both Europe and the United States, who deal with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI). We will sell directly to facilities based on the endorsement of these KOLs. In Germany, Austria and France, some KOLs have already used Lumee Oxygen on a trial basis. We have worked with reimbursement consultants to develop potential Category I CPT codes for Lumee Oxygen use.
Regarding Lumee Glucose, if and when we obtained marketing authorization, we plan to embark on a dual strategy of both direct to hospital sales, for our professional-use and personal-use CGM product, and direct to pharmacy sales for our personal use product only, thereby maximizing flexibility for the consumer. By aiming for coverage under a user’s pharmacy benefit, we believe we can diversify our user base, while accounting for any risk related to unlikely delay of attainment of a category I CPT code for sensor insertion. We feel a difference between other insertable or implantable CGMs and Lumee Glucose, is that the latter can be simply inserted with a hypodermic needle and does not require a surgical implantation, similar to how pharmacists use these needles to administer flu shots and other vaccines. At the same time, physicians can still leverage existing CPT codes related to interpretation of CGM data and we have, in parallel, initiated steps for CPT codes related to our sensor insertion. We will target both public and private payors for coverage.
Since our launch, we have significantly devoted all of our resources to research and development, as well as all clinical study activities related but not limited to Lumee Oxygen, Lumee Glucose and prototypes for sensors of at least eight other analytes. We have also invested, on a smaller scale, in making sales of Lumee Oxygen for research- use only clients, which include entities working with animal models. Furthermore, we also performed research and development under government grants.
Since inception, we have incurred recurring annual losses from operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred a net loss of $2.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred a net loss of $5.1 million and $4.5 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we have used $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of cash in our operating activities. We have notes and loans payable and interest due of $52.3 million within twelve months of June 30, 2025.
We have been able to finance our operations primarily with the proceeds from the issuance of equity and debt instruments and to a lesser extent, revenues from government grants. For the six months ending June 30, 2025, we obtained net cash from financing activities of $1.0 million compared to $0.9 million for the same period in 2024. We held cash of less than $0.1 million as of June 30, 2025, and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2024, respectively.
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has reviewed the relevant conditions and events surrounding its ability to continue as a going concern including among others: historical losses, projected future results, including the effects of COVID-19, cash requirements for the upcoming year, funding capacity, net working capital, total stockholders’ deficit and future access to capital.
On July 11, 2025 Profusa, Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as NorthView Acquisition Corporation, consummated its previously announced business combination with Profusa, Inc., a California corporation, pursuant to that certain Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. At the Closing and pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreement, New Profusa issued a PIPE Convertible Note in the principal amount of $10,000,000 (the “Initial Note”) for a purchase price of $9,000,000, reflecting a 10% Original Issuance Discount (“OID”). Management believes this liquidity has not alleviated the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
2
As part of the closing, the Company had cash inflows of $1.3 million from the NorthView trust account, net of redemptions, and the $9 million net PIPE convertible note. Cash outflows included marketing fees and vendor payments which totaled $3.4 million due at closing. Subsequent to the closing of the Merger, there continue to be factors which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
It is our expectation to continue to make substantial investments in building its European and United States commercial infrastructure and enhancing existing products and developing new ones. Furthermore, we aim to continue discussions with potential partners in Asia.
We expect to incur additional expenses due to operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and those of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) Stock Market, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative, professional and consulting services. As a result of these and other factors, we expect that we will require additional financing to fund our operations and planned growth. We may seek to raise any additional capital through equity offerings or debt financings, additional credit or loan facilities or a combination of one or more of these funding sources. In the scenario that we are unable to acquire sufficient financing or financing on terms satisfactory to our management or Board of Directors, our ability to continue to pursue our business objectives and to respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances could be significantly limited, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. For the current period and for twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements, our risk of going concern has been mitigated but not fully alleviated by the Tranche 1 PIPE Convertible Note issued for a gross $10.0 million.
Business Combination
On November 7, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with NorthView Acquisition Corp (“NorthView”), where a subsidiary of NorthView will merge with the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of NorthView. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and assuming a favorable vote of NorthView’s stockholders, Merger Sub, a newly formed subsidiary of NorthView, will be merged with and into Profusa. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease; Profusa will survive and become a wholly owned subsidiary of NorthView, which will be renamed New Profusa, Inc.
On February 11, 2025, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Merger Agreement (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to revise the Company Reference Value (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to adjust for financing proceeds received by Profusa prior to the Business Combination, along with debt conversions and incentive shares to be issued. Additionally, the Amendment (i) revised the definition of “Milestone Event III” such that the parties extended the period for Profusa to consummate the APAC Joint Venture (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and receive the related funding from December 31, 2024 until December 31, 2025, and (ii) revised the definition of “Milestone Event IV” to change the earnout revenue target from $99,702,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 to an earnout revenue target of $11,864,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026.
3
On April 2, 2025, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into an Amendment No. 5 to the Merger Agreement (“Amendment No. 5”) pursuant to which Section 9.01 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended such that the reference to “March 22, 2025” shall be replaced with “June 22, 2025”. The closing date was then further amended to July 11, 2025.
Subsequent to these financials statements, on July 11, 2025, the Business Combination was successfully completed and was accounted for as a reverse capitalization in accordance with GAAP. Profusa was deemed the accounting predecessor of the combined business, and New Profusa, Inc. (“New Profusa”) as the parent company of the combined business, is the successor SEC registrant, meaning that our financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the registrant’s future periodic reports filed with the SEC. The Business Combination will have a significant impact on our future capital structure and operating results, de-risking our product development, manufacturing and commercialization. The most significant changes in New Profusa’s future reported financial positions are expected to be an estimated increase in cash (as compared to our balance sheets at June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024) of approximately $9.0 million in proceeds from the PIPE Investment. This $9.0 million is offset by various deferred offering costs and $2.0 million closing fees related to the underwriters marketing fee for the NorthView IPO, which became payable upon a successful consummation of the Business Combination. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”
In June 2023, the Company entered into a short-term loan agreement with a related party under which it may borrow up to $1.6 million, of which $1.0 million was borrowed on June 26, 2023, $0.3 million was borrowed on July 20, 2023, $0.3 million was borrowed on August 15, 2023 (the “Tasly Convertible debt”). An additional amount of less than $0.02 million was drawn on February 6, 2024. The loans bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum and originally matured on December 31, 2023. The original maturity date was extended to March 31, 2024, subject to the parties’ decision to extend thereafter. The Company is currently in default, as this loan will be repaid subsequent to the SPAC transaction. The Company is currently incurring a default interest rate of 24% per annum, and has classified the entire amount outstanding under the Tasly Convertible Debt as current on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
As a result of the Merger, the Company has become the successor to an SEC-registered and NASDAQ- listed company, which will require us to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We expect to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees, and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources.
Recent Developments
Inflation, Monetary Response, and Economic Impacts
The world economy is experiencing stubbornly high inflation, a challenge not faced for decades. Following the global financial crisis, with inflationary pressures muted, interest rates were extremely low for years and investors became accustomed to low volatility. The resulting easing of financial conditions supported economic growth, but it also contributed to a buildup of financial vulnerabilities. With inflation at multi-decade highs, monetary authorities in advanced economies are accelerating the pace of policy normalization. Policymakers have continued to tighten policy against a backdrop of rising inflation and currency pressures, albeit with notable differences across regions. Global financial conditions have tightened notably this year, leading to capital outflows. Amid heightened economic and geopolitical uncertainties, investors have aggressively pulled back from risk-taking and adjusted their investment preferences generally. Key gauges of systemic risk, such as higher dollar funding costs and counterparty credit spreads, have risen. There is a risk of a disorderly tightening of financial conditions that may be amplified by vulnerabilities built over the years.
4
In addition, our business, growth, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by instability or changes in a country’s or region’s economic conditions; inflation; changes in laws or regulations or in the interpretation of existing laws or regulations, whether caused by a change in government or otherwise; increased difficulty of conducting business in a country or region due to actual or potential political or military conflict; or action by the U.S. or foreign governments that may restrict our ability to transact business in a foreign country or with certain foreign individuals or entities. A possible slowdown in global trade caused by increasing tariffs or other restrictions could decrease consumer or corporate confidence and reduce consumer, government and corporate spending in countries inside or outside the U.S., which could adversely affect our operations. Climate-related events, including extreme weather events and natural disasters and their effect on critical infrastructure in the U.S. or internationally, could have similar adverse effects on our operations, users, or third-party suppliers.
Principles of Accounting and Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods then ended. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Profusa Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, APAC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Components of Results of Operations
Government Grant Revenue
Government grant revenue consists of amounts we earn under grants from two government agencies: NIH and DARPA. These grants are provided either in the form of expense reimbursement (expense reimbursement grants) or on a fixed fee basis (fixed fee grants). Under the expense reimbursement grants the government agencies reimburse us for a portion of our expenses (allowable expenses) that have been incurred in a given period on the basis of reports that we provide to these agencies. Fixed fee grants are awarded for specific research and development programs undertaken by us. Under these grants we receive milestone payments from the government agencies upon our submission and approval by the government of agreed upon deliverables, consisting primarily of the documented results of the specific research and development programs.
5
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, costs of consulting, supplies, depreciation and amortization and allocations of facility- related expenses. We expect our research and development expenses to increase as we increase staffing to support product development, continue our clinical trials, build prototypes, and continue to explore and develop next generation technologies.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, related to executive management, finance, legal, human resource functions, and business development, contractor and professional services fees, audit and compliance expenses, insurance costs and general corporate expenses, including allocated facility-related expenses and information technology costs.
Loss on Change in the Fair Value of Tasly Convertible Debt
We elected to apply fair value option to account for the convertible loans issued between June 2023 and March 2024 (the “Tasly Convertible Debt”), under which none of the embedded conversion or redemption features were bifurcated and separately accounted for. Rather, the Tasly Convertible Debt in its entirety was recorded at fair value at inception and is subject to remeasurement to fair value at each balance sheet date, with the change in fair value reflected in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Gain on PPP Loan Forgiveness
On April 16, 2020 and May 25, 2021, we borrowed $1.2 million (the “PPP Loan 1”) and $1.3 million (the “PPP Loan 2”), respectively, as a Paycheck Protection Program loan (together the “PPP Loans”). The Paycheck Protection Program, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, provides for loans to qualifying businesses and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The annual interest rate of the PPP Loans is 1%. The PPP Loans are eligible for forgiveness, provided the borrower has met the respective forgiveness requirements, has timely submitted an application for forgiveness and the forgiveness has been granted by the SBA. PPP Loan 1 has been approved for loan forgiveness, and management intends to apply for PPP Loan 2 forgiveness in 2025. PPP Loan 2 is currently in default due to non-payment, and is classified as a current liability on the balance sheet.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of the interest on our convertible notes, senior notes, Tasly convertible debt, and PPP Loans.
Other Income
Other income consists primarily of income earned from sale of equipment and a short-term sublease of a portion of our facilities.

Revenue – Grant revenue was recognized in 2024, while no grant revenue was recognized in 2025 while the Company focused on the closing on the Merger transaction.
Research and Development – Research and development expenses remained constant and decreased by $39 thousand or 9% during the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to a reduction in research studies.
General and Administrative – General and administrative expenses increased by $41 thousand million, or 7%, to $610 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $569 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was driven primarily by the increase in accounting costs as a result of increased audit and accounting fees.
Loss on Change in the Fair Value of the Tasly Convertible Loans – Loss on change in the fair value of the Tasly Convertible Loan was less than $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025. The loss during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was driven by the remeasurement of the Tasly Convertible Loans.
Interest Expense – Interest expense increased by $.02 million to $1.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $1.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to interest accrued on $3.5 million in additional senior notes that have been issued.

Research and Development – Research and development expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or 12%, to $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $0.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was driven primarily by the decrease in CRO and personnel costs of $0.1 million as a result of the completion of several clinical studies and a reduction of personnel while the Company focused on closing the business combination.
General and Administrative – General and administrative expenses increased by $0.2 million, or 14%, to $1.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was driven primarily by the increase in accounting costs of $0.2 million as a result of increased audit and accounting fees.
Loss on Change in the Fair Value of the Tasly Convertible Loans – Loss on change in the fair value of the Tasly Convertible Loan was $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The loss during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was driven by the remeasurement of the Tasly Convertible Loans.
Interest Expense – Interest expense increased by $0.4 million, or 17%, to $2.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $2.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the $3.5 million in additional senior notes that have been issued.
Other Income – Other income decreased by less than $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
We incurred net losses and negative operating cash flows from operations since inception, and we expect to continue to incur losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future until we successfully commence sustainable commercial operations. To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the issuance of convertible preferred stock, junior and senior convertible notes, PPP Loans available to us under the Paycheck Protection Program and promissory notes. From inception through June 30, 2025, we raised gross proceeds of $98.0 million from the issuances of convertible preferred stock and convertible notes and loans, received $2.5 million from PPP Loans and received $0.9 million from issuance of promissory notes. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.1 million.
8
Our junior convertible notes bear interest at 12% per annum and, as of June 30, 2025, their then outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest automatically converted into common shares of New Profusa at $7.00 per share upon consummation of the Merger transaction. In addition, upon consummation of the Merger, all junior noteholders have a right to receive additional shares upon achievement by New Profusa of certain share price and sales milestones (the earnout shares). We refer you to Footnote 14, Subsequent Events, 14 for the conversion of these notes as of the closing of the Merger on July 11, 2025.
We commenced issuance of our senior convertible notes in April 2021 and continued issuing them to date. Our senior convertible notes bear interest at 12% per annum and their then outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest automatically converted into common shares of New Profusa between $0.50 and $4.00 per share upon consummation of the Merger transaction, which occurred on July 11, 2025, based on the fixed conversion price defined in the agreement. In addition, upon consummation of the Merger, all senior noteholders obtained the right to receive additional shares upon achievement by New Profusa of certain share price and sales milestones (the earnout shares).
On August 8, 2023, a new wholly owned subsidiary, Profusa Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd (“APAC”), was created and incorporated by the Company under the laws of Singapore. Upon creation, the new entity was capitalized by the Company by payment of $1,000 for 1,000 Ordinary Shares. As a result, at the time of incorporation, the entity became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The entity was created with the expectation of jointly conducting the business of developing, manufacturing and commercializing the Lumee Glucose and the Lumee Oxygen products, currently under development by the Company, together with a third party. No business or activities will have been conducted by the entity from the date of formation through and until the closing date of the proposed License Agreement and Shareholders Agreement between the Company and Best Life Technology Ltd, an entity wholly owned and controlled by the Tasly Holding Group (“Tasly”). Subsequent to the closing of the Merger between the Company and NorthView, the Company expects to sign and execute a License Agreement and Shareholders Agreement (the “APAC Joint Venture”) setting forth the relative and other terms under which the development and business activities of the entity will be conducted.
The Company is in the process of negotiating the formation of the joint venture (“APAC Joint Venture”), which includes the related party from which the amounts under the Tasly Convertible Debt was borrowed. The proceeds of the loan are intended to continue the development and commercialization of the Company’s technology in certain countries of the Asia Pacific region.
In the event we either fail to complete the formation of the APAC Joint Venture or fail to repay the amounts under the Tasly Convertible Debt when they become due, the lender will have an option to convert the outstanding balance and accrued but unpaid interest (in part or in full) into senior unsecured promissory notes on substantially the same terms as the outstanding Senior Notes as of June 30, 2025 (which terms include conversion into common stock of New Profusa).
Notwithstanding the conversion provisions above, any repayment obligations (in part or in full) of the outstanding principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest under the Tasly Convertible Debt may, at the lender’s option, be made through conversion of part or all amounts payable into (i) senior unsecured promissory notes on substantially the same terms as the outstanding Senior Notes as of June 30, 2025 (which terms include conversion into common stock of New Profusa in the event the Merger is consummated), or (ii) our common stock at a conversion price of $1.92 per share.

Our outstanding PPP Loan of $1.4 million bears interest at 1% per annum. The repayment of the PPP Loan is expected to be made in equal monthly payments of principal and interest from October 25, 2022 until May 25, 2026; however, we are currently in the process of applying for forgiveness for this loan.
Our outstanding promissory notes accrue interest at 5% and 12% per annum, most of which do not have a set maturity date. Any promissory notes that did have an initial maturity date, which has passed, the Company has verbally agreed to pay off these loans subsequent to the consummation of the business combination. The Company is currently in default; accordingly, the Company classified the entire outstanding amount as a current liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Additional funds may be necessary to maintain current operations and will be required for successful product commercialization efforts. Subsequent to the period ended June 30, 2025, management obtained additional funds as a result of the Business Combination and PIPE investment, which mitigates the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are issued.
Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
We expect our cash and cash equivalents on hand, and cash that we received from the Business Combination and PIPE Investment, together with the cash we expect to generate from future operations will provide sufficient funding to support initial commercial operations. The cash generated from the business combination includes an initial net $9 million in PIPE proceeds from the first tranche of a convertible note, along with an expected $2 million additional tranche from the PIPE convertible note to be received within the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Until we generate sufficient operating cash flow to cover our operating expenses, working capital needs and planned capital expenditures, or if circumstances evolve differently than anticipated, we expect to utilize a combination of equity and debt financing to fund any future capital needs. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to stockholders may result. Any equity securities issued may also provide for rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of holders of common stock. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities may have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of common stockholders. The terms of debt securities or borrowings could impose significant restrictions on our operations. The capital markets are currently experiencing, and may continue to experience in the future, periods of upheaval that could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing.
Our principal uses of cash in recent periods have been funding our research and development activities and other personnel cost. Near-term capital requirements through June 30, 2025 leading to and supporting initial commercialization are estimated to total approximately $7.3 million and include further research and development to enable us to obtain the required regulatory approvals, manufacturing, commercialization and wide-scale marketing for our Lumee Oxygen and Lumee Glucose devices. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, the timing and the amount of cash received from our customers, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts. In the future, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, and technologies. For any periods after the twelve months subsequent to the filing of these financial statements as of June 30, 2025, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that we require additional financing we may not be able to raise such financing on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to continue our research and development and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. If adequate funds are not available, we may need to reconsider our production investments, the pace of our production ramp-up, expansion plans or limit our research and development activities, which could have a material adverse impact on our business prospects and results of operations.

| Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||
| Net cash provided by (used in): | ||||||||
| Operating activities | $ | (1,121 | ) | $ | (1,008 | ) | ||

| Financing activities | $ | 974 | $ | 904 | ||||
Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 of $1.1 million was primarily driven by our net loss of $5.1 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $2.7 million and net cash inflows of $1.2 million provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of non-cash interest expense of $2.5 million, and the change in the fair value of related party convertible loan of $0.1 million. The main driver of the cash inflows from the changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily related to an increase in accounts payable of $1.0 million and in accrued liabilities of $0.3 million and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of less than $0.1 million.
Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $1.0 million was primarily driven by our net loss of $4.5 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $2.2 million and net cash inflows of $1.3 million provided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of non-cash interest expense of $2.2 million, partially offset by change in the fair value of related party convertible loan of less than $0.1 million. The main driver of the cash inflows from the changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily related to an increase in accounts payable of $0.5 million and in accrued liabilities of $0.8 million and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.1 million.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material.
We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. In addition, there are other items within our financial statements that require estimation, but are not deemed critical as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of other receivables, accounts payable, promissory notes, convertible promissory notes and senior notes. The Company states accounts payable at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time to the expected payment. The promissory notes are stated at amortized cost, which approximates their fair value, because the Company believes their terms approximate those that would be available to it on a similar loan from an unrelated party.
The Tasly convertible debt issued between June 2023-February 2024 (Notes 3 and 5) is carried at fair value based on unobservable market inputs. The fair value of financial instruments is determined using various valuation techniques, including the market approach. Where observable market prices are not available, we use models that incorporate assumptions about credit risk, interest rates, and market volatility. These estimates require significant judgment, particularly for instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Changes in these assumptions could materially affect the reported fair values and related income or expense. We regularly review and update our valuation to reflect current market conditions and ensure consistency with accounting standards. Level 3 fair value financial liabilities consisted of solely the Tasly convertible debt which was $2.2 million as of December 31, 2024 and $2.5 million as of June 30, 2025.
Share-Based Compensation
| ● | We account for share-based compensation arrangements with employees and non-employees using a fair value method which requires the recognition of compensation expense for costs related to all share-based payments including stock options. The fair value method requires us to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. We use the Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the fair value of options granted that are then expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. We account for forfeitures as they occur. Option valuation models, including the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, require the input of highly subjective assumptions, and changes in the assumptions used can materially affect the grant-date fair value of an award and affect the amount of compensation expense recognized. These assumptions include the risk-free rate of interest, expected dividend yield, expected volatility, and the expected life of the award. These assumptions involve significant judgment and are based on historical data and future expectations. We periodically reassess our estimates and assumptions to reflect actual experience and any changes in future expectations. | |
| ● | Expected Term. The expected term is calculated using the simplified method, which is available where there is insufficient historical data about exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The simplified method is based on the vesting period and the contractual term for each grant, or for each vesting-tranche for awards with graded vesting. The mid-point between the vesting date and the maximum contractual expiration date is used as the expected term under this method. For awards with multiple vesting-tranches, the times from grant until the mid-points for each of the tranches may be averaged to provide an overall expected term. |
| ● | Expected Volatility. The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical volatilities for industry peers, as we did not have any trading history for our common stock. We will continue to analyze the historical stock price volatility and expected term assumptions as historical data for our common stock becomes available. |
| ● | Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equivalent to the expected term of a stock award. |
| ● | Dividend Yield. We have not paid and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the near future. Accordingly, we have estimated the dividend yield to be zero. |
