Movano Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Business Organization, Nature of Operations
Movano Inc. (the “Company”, “Movano”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was incorporated in Delaware on January 30, 2018 as Maestro Sensors Inc. and changed its name to Movano Inc. on August 3, 2018. The Company is in the development-stage and is developing a platform to deliver purpose-driven healthcare solutions at the intersection of medtech and consumer devices. Movano’s mission is to empower and inspire consumers to live a healthier, happier life.
The Company’s solutions are being developed to provide vital health information, including heart rate, HRV, sleep, respiration rate, temperature, blood oxygen saturation, steps, calories as well as glucose and blood pressure data, in a variety of form factors to meet individual style needs and give users actionable feedback to improve their quality of life.
On April 28, 2021, the Company established Movano Ireland Limited, organized under the laws of Ireland, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Operations and activity at the wholly owned subsidiary were not significant for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Since inception, the Company has engaged in only limited research and development of product candidates and underlying technology. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not yet completed the development of its product and had not yet recorded any revenues.
In December 2019, a novel coronavirus and the resulting disease (“COVID-19”) was reported, and in January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. In February 2020, the WHO raised its assessment of the COVID-19 threat from high to very high at a global level due to the continued increase in the number of cases and affected countries, and in March 2020, the WHO characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The Company is continuing to ascertain the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, but given the uncertainty about the situation, the Company cannot estimate the impact to its financial statements from the economic crisis arising from COVID-19.
The Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (Reg. No. 333-252671), was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 23, 2021. The registration statement registered the securities offered in the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”). In the IPO, the Company sold 9,775,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $5.00 per share, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. The IPO closed on March 25, 2021 and the underwriters exercised their overallotment option as of March 25, 2021, as a result of which the Company raised net proceeds of $44.3 million after deducting $3.3 million in underwriting discounts, commissions, and expenses and $1.3 million in offering expenses paid by the Company. National Securities Corporation (“NSC”) was the underwriter for the IPO, and also received a warrant related to the IPO, which is discussed in Note 10. No portion of the net proceeds from the IPO were used for payments made by the Company to its directors or officers or persons owning ten percent or more of its common stock or to their associates, or to the Company’s affiliates, other than payments in the ordinary course of business to officers for salaries and to nonemployee directors as compensation for board or board committee service.
The Company has incurred losses from operations and has generated negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. The Company expects to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future as it continues the development of its technology. The Company’s ultimate success depends on the outcome of its research and development and commercialization activities, for which it expects to incur additional losses in the future. Through June 30, 2022, the Company has relied primarily on the proceeds from equity offerings to finance its operations. The Company expects to require additional financing to fund its future planned operations, including research and development and commercialization of its products. The Company will likely raise additional capital through the issuance of equity, borrowings, or strategic alliances with partner companies. However, if such financing is not available at adequate levels, the Company would need to reevaluate its operating plans.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The accompanying interim 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 incurred significant losses and has an accumulated deficit of $78.6 million as of June 30, 2022. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales. The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to obtain additional funding sources. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
Adequate additional financing may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital and/or enter into strategic alliances when needed or on attractive terms, it would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate its product or any commercialization efforts. There can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts will result in the resolution of the Company’s liquidity needs. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the preceding fiscal year contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2022 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
The results of operations for the three six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods.
Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the accrual of research and development expenses, the valuation of common stock, stock options and warrants, the valuation of the embedded redemption derivative liability and income taxes. Estimates are periodically reviewed considering changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates or assumptions.
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments
The Company invests its excess cash primarily in money market funds, commercial paper and short-term debt securities. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company classifies all marketable securities for use in current operations, even if the security matures beyond 12 months, and presents them as short-term investments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Movano Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
(Unaudited)
The Company determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. The Company has classified and accounted for the purchased marketable securities as available-for-sale. After considering the Company’s capital preservation objectives, as well as its liquidity requirements, the Company may sell securities prior to their stated maturities. The Company carries its available-for-sale short-term investments at fair value. The Company reports the unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, as a component of stockholders’ equity, except for unrealized losses determined to be credit-related, which are recorded as other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and reports an allowance for credit losses in short-term investments on the balance sheet, if any. The Company determines any realized gains or losses on the sale of short-term investments on a specific identification method and records such gains and losses as a component of other income (expense), net. Interest earned on cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments is recorded in interest and other income, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and was insignificant during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
The Company’s investment policy only allows purchases of high credit quality instruments and provides guidelines on concentrations and credit quality to ensure minimum risk of loss. The Company evaluates whether the unrealized loss on available-for-sale short-term investments is the result of the credit worthiness of the securities it held, or other non-credit-related factors such as liquidity by reviewing a number of factors such as the implied yield of the corporate note based on the market price, the nature of the invested entity’s business or industry, market capitalization relative to debt, changes in credit ratings, and the market prices of the instruments subsequent to the period end.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk
Cash and cash equivalents are financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk. All cash and cash equivalents are held in United States financial institutions. Cash equivalents consist of interest-bearing money market accounts. The amounts deposited in the money market accounts exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to this account and believes the associated credit risk to be minimal due to the financial condition of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held.
The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk of loss.
Convertible Financial Instruments
The Company bifurcates embedded redemption and conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as freestanding derivative financial instruments at fair value if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized to interest expense using the interest method over the earlier of the term of the related debt or their earliest date of redemption.

From time to time, the Company issues convertible financial instruments to nonemployees in payment for services that are provided. Until the services are completely rendered, the Company will expense the principal and any interest earned prior to the service completion to the representative expense account for the services performed and will record a noncurrent liability for the expected amount of the principal balance. Upon completion of the services, the Company will reclassify the noncurrent liability balance to the balance of an outstanding convertible financial instrument and assess the embedded redemption and conversion options that are applicable at that time.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. As the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, the changes resulted in no provision or benefit from income taxes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
For interim periods, the Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate and applies the estimated rate to the year-to-date income or loss before income taxes. The Company computes the tax provision or benefit related to items reported separately and recognizes the items net of their related tax effect in the interim periods in which they occur. The Company recognizes the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates in the interim periods in which the changes occur.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures equity classified stock-based awards granted to employees, non-employee directors, and nonemployees based on the estimated grant date fair value of the awards. For stock-based awards with only service conditions, compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award, using the straight-line method. For stock-based awards that include performance conditions, compensation expense is not recognized until the performance condition is probable to occur. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock-based awards. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the Company to make assumptions and judgements about the variables used in the calculations, including the fair value of common stock, expected term, expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend yield. The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur.

Early Exercised Stock Option Liability
Upon the early exercise of stock options by employees, the Company records as a liability the purchase price of unvested common stock that the Company has a right to repurchase if and when the employment of the stockholder terminates before the end of the requisite service period. The proceeds originally recorded as a liability are reclassified to additional paid-in capital as the Company’s repurchase right lapses.
Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. The net loss attributable to common stockholders is calculated by adjusting the net loss of the Company for the accretion on the Series A and B redeemable convertible preferred stock and cumulative dividends on Series A and B redeemable convertible preferred stock. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of ASU No. 2016-02
The Company adopted FASB’s ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”), as of January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective approach which provides a method for recording existing leases at the beginning of the period of adoption.
In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients and other expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification and not to restate the comparative periods prior to the adoption and to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset classes. The Company made an accounting policy election not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, including renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised, that also do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that is reasonably certain of exercise. Instead, lease payments for these leases are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The disclosures required under ASC 842 are not presented for periods before the date of adoption. For the comparative periods prior to adoption, the Company presented the disclosures which were required under the previous accounting guidance. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows.
Operating lease right of use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of operating lease liabilities of $429,000 and ROU assets of $380,000 as of January 1, 2022. The difference between the ROU assets and lease liabilities represents the net book value of deferred rent recognized as of December 31, 2021, which was adjusted against the ROU asset upon adoption. The ROU asset is included in other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. At adoption, operating lease liabilities of $166,000 and $263,000, respectively, were included in other current liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Variable lease payments for common area maintenance, property taxes and other operating expenses are recognized as expense in the period when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur.
Note 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value. The Company uses a three-level hierarchy, which prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity-specific information for fair value measurements based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Fair value focuses on an exit price and is defined as 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. The inputs or methodology used for valuing financial instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those financial instruments.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
(Unaudited)
A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
Level 2 – | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. |
Level 3 – | Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by market data. |
The Company measures its cash equivalents, short-term investments and derivative financial instruments at fair value. The Company classifies its cash equivalents and short-term investments within Level 1 or Level 2 because the Company values these investments using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs. The fair value of the Company’s Level 1 financial assets is based on quoted market prices of the identical underlying security. The fair value of the Company’s Level 2 financial assets is based on inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the market, including the readily-available pricing sources for the identical underlying security that may not be actively traded.
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate. On December 31, 2020, the warrants related to the Series A preferred stock issuance, the Series B preferred stock issuance, and the convertible promissory notes and the derivative liability related to the issuance of convertible promissory notes were classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. However, these instruments are not present on March 31, 2021 in light of accounting ramifications of the IPO, which are discussed further in Note 7 and Note 8.
The carrying amounts of prepaid expenses, payroll tax credit, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The following tables provide a summary of the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands).

The Convertible Notes were convertible upon the occurrence of certain events, including upon a change in control or a next equity financing. The conversion features are described as follows:
Conversion Event | Description | Conversion Price | ||
Automatic Conversion – Next Qualified Equity Financing | Upon the closing of a Next Qualified Equity Financing (defined as greater than $5,000,000), the Convertible Notes are converted into shares issued equal to the outstanding balance divided by the Conversion Price. | An amount equal to the lower of (i) 80% of the lowest per-share selling price of such stock sold by the Company at the Next Qualified Equity Financing or (ii) the implied per share price determined by dividing $60,000,000 by the total number of Common Stock Equivalents (defined as fully diluted common shares for all outstanding securities, excluding common shares reserved for issuance or exercise of options or grants in the future) immediately prior to Next Qualified Equity Financing closing. | ||
Automatic Conversion – Change of Control (defined as consolidation or merger of the Company or transfer of a majority of share ownership or disposition of substantially all assets of the Company) | If at any time before payment or conversion of the balance, the Company effects a Change of Control, all of the balance outstanding immediately prior to such Change of Control will automatically convert into the most senior series of Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Change of Control at the Conversion Price. | An amount equal to the implied per share price determined by dividing $60,000,000 by the total number of Common Stock Equivalents immediately prior to such Change of Control. | ||
Automatic Conversion – Maturity Date | If the Company has not paid or otherwise converted the entire balance before the Maturity Date, then on the Maturity Date, all of the balance then outstanding will automatically convert into the most senior series of Preferred Stock outstanding as of the Maturity Date at the Conversion Price then in effect. | An amount equal to the implied per share price determined by dividing $60,000,000 by the total number of Common Stock Equivalents as of the Maturity Date. | ||
Automatic Conversion – IPO | If at any time before payment or conversion of the balance, the Company consummates an IPO, all of the balance outstanding immediately prior to the IPO will automatically convert into Common Stock at the Conversion Price. | An amount equal to the lower of (i) 80% of the lowest per-share selling price of the Common Stock sold by the Company in an IPO or (ii) the implied per share price determined by dividing $60,000,000 by the total number of Common Stock Equivalents immediately prior to closing of an IPO. | ||
Optional Conversion | If at any time while the Convertible Notes are still outstanding the Company sells stock in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions that does not constitute a Next Qualified Equity Financing (and thus is defined as a Non-qualified Financing), then, at the closing of the Nonqualified Financing, the balance then outstanding may be converted, at the option of the holder, into that number of shares of Non-qualified Preferred Stock (preferred stock sold in the Non-qualified Financing) determined by dividing (i) the balance by (ii) the Conversion Price then in effect. | An amount equal to the lowest per share selling price of Nonqualified Preferred Stock sold by the Company for new cash investment in the Non-Qualified Financing. |

As part of the Convertible Note financing, the Company agreed to issue subordinated convertible promissory notes to nonemployees in exchange for services totaling $747,000.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, nonemployee services of $50,000 were completed, which were recorded as a component of other noncurrent liabilities. In connection with the IPO, a Convertible Note for $500,000 was issued for nonemployee services and $300,000 of the nonemployee services that remained to be completed was recorded in prepaid and other current expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company calculated a BCF of approximately $500,000 upon the issuance of this Convertible Note.
In connection with the Convertible Notes, the Company issued 10,000 and 204,500 warrants to purchase common stock, to a noteholder and its brokers, respectively. The warrants have a five-year life and are initially exercisable into common stock at $2.97 per share. (See Note 10 – Common Stock Warrants for fair value computation and discussion of the change in the exercise price). During March 2021, 42,220 of these warrants to purchase common stock were cancelled.
Issuance costs and commissions to brokers to obtain the Convertible Notes were recorded as a debt discount in the amount of approximately $83,000 and $612,000, respectively.
The Company determined that the terms that would result in Convertible Notes automatically converting at (i) 80% of the lowest per-share selling price of the stock sold by the Company in the Next Qualified Equity Financing or (ii) 80% of the lowest per-share selling price of the Conversion Stock sold by the Company in an IPO are deemed a redemption feature. The Company also concluded that those redemption features require bifurcation from the Convertible Notes and subsequent accounting in the same manner as a freestanding derivative. Accordingly, subsequent changes in the fair value of these redemption features are measured at each reporting period and recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The sum of the fair value of the warrants, the fair value of the embedded redemption derivative liability, issuance costs, BCF and commission payments for the Convertible Notes were recorded as debt discounts to be amortized to interest expense over the respective term using the effective interest method. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized interest expense of approximately $0 and $0.8 million, respectively, from the accretion of those debt discounts.

The Convertible Notes automatically converted upon the closing of the IPO at the implied per share price determined by dividing $60,000,000 by the total number of Common Stock Equivalents immediately prior to the closing of the IPO. The outstanding principal ($12.5 million) and interest due ($0.4 million) under the Convertible Notes, in an aggregate amount of $12.9 million, was converted into 5,015,494 shares of the Company’s common stock at the implied per share conversion of $2.5736. The carrying value of the Convertible Notes was credited to common stock and additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The remaining unamortized discount of $0.4 million was recorded to additional paid-in capital and no gain or loss was recognized on the conversion. The remaining unamortized discount related to the BCF of $0.5 million was recognized immediately as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Derivative Liability
As described above, the redemption provisions embedded in the Convertible Notes required bifurcation and measurement at fair value as a derivative. The fair value of the Convertible Note embedded redemption derivative liability was calculated by determining the value of the debt component of the Convertible Notes at various conversion or maturity dates using a Probability Weighted Expected Return valuation method. The fair value calculation placed greater probability on the occurrence of the conversion or the maturity date scenario, with little or no weight given to other scenarios. The fair value of the embedded redemption derivative liability is significantly influenced by the discount rate, the remaining term to maturity and the Company’s assumptions related to the probability of a qualified financing or no financing prior to maturity. The Financing Date is the estimated date of an automatic conversion as the result of a Next Qualified Equity Financing or an IPO.
The embedded redemption derivative liability no longer had significant value as of the date of the Company’s IPO since the conversion of the Convertible Notes occurred via a redemption feature that was not bifurcated as a derivative. Upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes at the IPO, the Company recorded a final change in the fair value of the derivative liability of $0.1 million in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, and the derivative liability was extinguished.
The changes in the fair value of the derivative liability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was the same and is presented as follows (in thousands):

Note 8 – REDEEMABLE Convertible Preferred Stock
On March 28, 2019, the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State which (i) increased the number of shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue to 22,069,652; (ii) increased the number of shares of preferred stock the Company was authorized to issue to 7,930,348, of which 2,692,253 shares were designated as Series A preferred stock and 5,238,095 shares were designated as Series B preferred stock; (iii) amended and set a fixed conversion price of Series A preferred stock to $1.40; and (iv) extended the IPO Commitment Date from April 1, 2020 to no later than March 31, 2021.
The Series B preferred stock was measured and recorded at the transaction price net of issuance costs, resulting in an initial value of $9.3 million. The accretion to the carrying value of the Series B preferred stock was recorded as a charge to additional paid in capital. The accumulated accretion as of the IPO date was $11.5 million, which resulted in an adjusted Series B preferred stock carrying value of $20.8 million.
The accretion to the carrying value of the Series A preferred stock was recorded as a charge to additional paid-in capital. The accumulated accretion as of the IPO date was $8.2 million, which resulted in an adjusted Series A preferred stock carrying value of $14.5 million.
Upon the IPO, the redeemable convertible preferred stock converted in to 11,436,956 shares of common stock and no shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock remain outstanding.
On March 24, 2021, the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State which (i) eliminated the Company’s Series A and Series B preferred stock, (ii) increased the authorized number of shares of common stock to 75,000,000 and (iii) authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock at par value of $0.0001 per share. The significant rights and preferences of the preferred stock will be established by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) upon issuance of any such series of preferred stock in the future.

The Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement stipulates that in the event of the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Company’s founder’s continuous service status for any reason (including death or disability), with or without cause, the Company or its assignees(s) shall have an option (“Repurchase Option”) to repurchase all or any portion of the shares held by the Purchaser as of the termination date which have not yet been released from the Company’s Repurchase Option at the original purchase price of $0.0125 per share. Shares are to be released from the Repurchase Option over four years. The initial 12/48ths of the shares were released on January 30, 2019, and an additional 1/48th of the shares are being released monthly thereafter. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, none and 8,333 of the shares issued to the Company’s founder remain subject to the Repurchase Option, respectively. These shares were originally purchased by the Company’s founder at $0.0125 per share.
In 2018, 3,640,000 shares were also issued pursuant to a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement. The holders of these shares are considered related parties of the Company because the holders are directly related either to the founder or to the legal counsel of the Company. The same terms described above apply to these issuances. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, none and 75,833 of the shares issued to these holders remain subject to the Repurchase Option, respectively. These shares were originally purchased by the holders at $0.0125 per share.
Early Exercised Stock Option Liability
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, no shares were issued upon the early exercise of common stock options. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, none and 50,000 shares, respectively, were issued upon the early exercise of common stock options. The Exercise Notice (Early Exercise) Agreement states that the Company has the option to repurchase all or a portion of the unvested shares in the event of the separation of the holder from service to the Company. The shares continue to vest in accordance with the original vesting schedules of the former option agreements.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has recorded a repurchase liability for approximately $205,000 and $281,000 for 410,522 and 567,397 shares that remain unvested, respectively. The weighted average remaining vesting period is approximately 1.6 years.

Warrants Classified as Liabilities
Preferred A Placement Warrants and Preferred B Placement Warrants
The Preferred A Placement Warrants and Preferred B Placement Warrants were initially classified as a derivative liability because their variable terms did not qualify these as being indexed to the Company’s own common stock and will be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
As a result of the conversion of the Preferred Stock into common stock in connection with the IPO, and the related impact of the Preferred A Adjustment Provision and the Preferred B Adjustment Provision, the number of warrant shares that are convertible is no longer variable. Accordingly, the Preferred A Placement Warrants and Preferred B Placement Warrants were determined to be indexed to the Company’s own common stock and will no longer be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Instead, the Preferred A Placement Warrants and the Preferred B Placement Warrants were determined to be equity instruments, and the liability was recorded at fair value with the change in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and reclassified to additional paid-in capital at their estimated fair value at the IPO date.
Convertible Notes Placement Warrants
The Convertible Notes Placement Warrants were classified as a derivative liability because the exercise price was variable, thus these did not qualify as being indexed to the Company’s own common stock and were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
As a result of the conversion of the Convertible Notes into common stock in connection with the IPO, the exercise price is no longer variable. Accordingly, the Convertible Notes Placement Warrants were determined to be indexed to the Company’s own common stock and will no longer be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Instead the Convertible Notes Placement Warrants were determined to be equity instruments, and the liability was recorded at fair value with the change in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and reclassified to additional paid-in capital at their estimated fair value at the IPO date.

Estimated Fair Value of Outstanding Warrants Classified as Liabilities
The estimated fair value of outstanding warrants classified as liabilities is determined at each balance sheet date. Any decrease or increase in the estimated fair value of the warrant liability since the most recent balance sheet date is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as a change in fair value of warrant liability.
There were no warrants classified as liabilities outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The changes in fair value of the outstanding warrants classified as liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were as follows (in thousands):
Warrant Issuance | Warrant liability, December 31, 2020 | Fair value of warrants granted | Fair value of warrants exercised | Change in fair value of warrants | Reclassified to additional paid-in capital | Warrant liability, June 30, 2021 | ||||||||||||||||||

$ | 1,549 | $ | $ | $ | 1,581 | $ | (3,130 | ) | $ |
The fair values of the outstanding warrants accounted for as liabilities at the IPO date are calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Convertible Note Placement Warrants | % | 52.28 | % | 0.82 | % | 4.4 years |
Upon the conversion of the redeemable convertible preferred stock and the Convertible Notes into common stock at the IPO date, the estimated fair value of the outstanding warrants accounted for as liabilities of $3.1 million was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
Warrants Classified as Equity
Certain warrants are classified as equity instruments since they do not meet the characteristics of a liability or a derivative and are recorded at fair value on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions. The fair value as determined at the issuance date is recorded as an issuance cost of the related stock. There were no warrants classified as equity issued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, nor during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Those warrants and the assumptions used to calculate the fair value at issuance are as follows for the warrants issued during the six months ended June 30, 2021:

Note 11 – Stock-based Compensation
2019 Equity Incentive Plan
Effective as of November 18, 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2019 Plan”) administered by the Board. The 2019 Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, and restricted stock awards, for the purchase of up to a total of 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to employees, directors, and consultants and replaces the previous plan. The Board or a committee of the Board has the authority to determine the amount, type, and terms of each award. The options granted under the 2019 Plan generally have a contractual term of ten years and a vesting term of four years with a one-year cliff. The exercise price for options granted under the 2019 Plan must generally be at least equal to 100% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, as determined by the Board. The incentive stock options granted under the 2019 Plan to 10% or greater stockholders must have an exercise price at least equal to 110% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, as determined by the Board, and have a contractual term of ten years.
In connection with the closing of the IPO, effective as of March 25, 2021 the 2019 Plan was amended and restated as a result of which the aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2019 Plan was increased from 6,000,000 to 7,400,000.
On April 15, 2022, the Board approved, subject to stockholder approval, an increase in the aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the 2019 Plan from 7,400,000 to 13,400,000. On June 21, 2022, the stockholders approved this increase.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 5,561,447 shares available for future grant pursuant to the 2019 Plan.
2021 Employment Inducement Plan
On September 15, 2021 the Company’s Board adopted the Movano, Inc. 2021 Inducement Award Plan (the “Inducement Plan”) without stockholder approval pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC listing rules (“Rule 5635(c)(4)”). In accordance with Rule 5635(c)(4), awards under the Inducement Plan may only be made to a newly hired employee who has not previously been a member of the Company’s Board, or an employee who is being rehired following a bona fide period of non-employment by the Company or a subsidiary, as a material inducement to the employee’s entering into employment with the Company or its subsidiary. An aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance under the Inducement Plan.
The Company will continue to grant awards under the 2019 Plan pursuant to the terms thereof.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, awards totaling 1,015,000 were issued under the Inducement Plan. The exercise price was $2.60 per share for 720,000 of the inducement stock option awards and for $2.54 for 295,000 of the inducement stock option awards. All of the inducement stock option awards remain unvested at June 30, 2022.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 1,230,000 shares available for future grant under the Inducement Plan.

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
(Unaudited)
The Company estimated the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the stock options was estimated using the following weighted average assumptions for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
The
Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||
2022 | 2021 | |||||||
Dividend yield | % | % | ||||||
Expected volatility | 61.86 | % | 67.61 | % | ||||
Risk-free interest rate | 2.38 | % | 0.74 | % | ||||
Expected life | 6.06 years | 6.05 years |
Dividend Rate—The expected dividend rate was assumed to be zero, as the Company had not previously paid dividends on common stock and has no current plans to do so.
Expected Volatility—The expected volatility was derived from the historical stock volatilities of several public companies within the Company’s industry that the Company considers to be comparable to the business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants.
Risk-Free Interest Rate—The risk-free interest rate is based on the interest yield in effect at the date of grant for zero coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the option’s expected term.
Expected Term—The expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock options are expected to be outstanding. The expected term of option grants that are considered to be “plain vanilla” are determined using the simplified method. The simplified method deems the term to be the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the options. For other option grants not considered to be “plain vanilla,” the Company determined the expected term to be the contractual life of the options.
Forfeiture Rate—The Company recognizes forfeitures when they occur.
The Company has recorded stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 related to the issuance of stock option awards to employees and nonemployees in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as follows (in thousands):

As of June 30, 2022, unamortized compensation expense related to unvested stock options was approximately $8.04 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.

Litigation
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various litigation and administrative proceedings relating to claims arising from its operations in the normal course of business. Management is not currently aware of any matters that may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Indemnification
The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless and agrees to reimburse the indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, in connection with any trade secret, copyright, patent or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to its technology. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual after the execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these agreements is not determinable because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made. The Company has not incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of the individual.

Pursuant to the terms of the Issuance Agreement, the Company may sell from time to time through the Sales Agent shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000 (the “Shares”). Sales of Shares, if any, may be made by means of transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, including block trades, ordinary brokers’ transactions on the Nasdaq Capital Market or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices or by any other method permitted by law.
Under the terms of the Issuance Agreement, the Company may also sell Shares to the Sales Agent as principal for its own accounts at a price to be agreed upon at the time of sale. Any sale of Shares to the Sales Agent as principal would be pursuant to the terms of a separate terms agreement between the Company and the Sales Agent.
The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares under the Issuance Agreement and may at any time suspend solicitation and offers under the Issuance Agreement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are intended to be covered by the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “seek,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “strategy”, “future”, “likely” or other comparable terms and references to future periods. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Form 10-Q regarding our strategies, prospects, financial condition, operations, costs, plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding expectations for revenues, cash flows and financial performance, the anticipated results of our development efforts, product features and the timing for receipt of required regulatory approvals and product launches.
Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:
● | our limited operating history and our ability to achieve profitability; | |
● | our ability to continue as a going concern and our need for and ability to obtain additional capital in the future; |
● | our ability to demonstrate the feasibility of and develop products and their underlying technologies; |
● | the impact of competitive or alternative products, technologies and pricing; |
● | the impact of the COVID-19 on our business and local and global economic conditions; |
● | our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel; |
● | our dependence on consultants to assist in the development of our technologies; |
● | our ability to manage the growth of our Company and to realize the benefits from any acquisitions or strategic alliances we may enter in the future; |
● | our dependence on the successful commercialization of our proposed solution; |
● | our dependence on third parties to design, manufacture, market and distribute our proposed products; |
● | the adequacy of protections afforded to us by the patents that we own and the success we may have in, and the cost to us of, maintaining, enforcing and defending those patents; |
● | our ability to obtain, expand and maintain patent protection in the future, and to protect our non-patented intellectual property; |
● | the impact of any claims of intellectual property infringement, trade secret misappropriation, product liability, product recalls or other claims; |
● | our need to secure required FCC, FDA and other regulatory approvals from governmental authorities in United States; |
● | the impact of healthcare regulations and reform measures; |
● | the accuracy of our estimates of market size for our planned solution; |
28
● | our ability to implement and maintain effective control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures; and |
● | our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items. |
The risks included above are not exhaustive. Other important risks and uncertainties are described in the Risk Factors and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations sections of the 2021 Form 10-K and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
Overview
Movano is developing a platform to deliver purpose-driven healthcare solutions at the intersection of medtech and consumer devices. Our mission is to empower and inspire you to live a healthier, happier life.
Our proprietary platform uses RF technology, which we believe will enable the creation of low-cost and scalable sensors that are small enough to fit into wearables and other small form factors. Combined with our mobile app and cloud infrastructure, we expect that our platform will provide users with the ability to measure and continuously monitor vital health data and provide actionable feedback to jumpstart changes in behaviors.
Our platform is the foundation for our first product in development, the Movano Ring. The smart ring and its accompanying app will combine vital health metrics with personalized intelligent feedback and is designed for women of all ages, who are traditionally an afterthought when it comes to wearable technology. Once developed, we expect the Ring will measure heart rate, HRV, sleep, respiration rate, temperature, blood oxygen saturation, steps, calories and incorporate women-centric features and design. The device will provide users and their network of caregivers with continuous health data distilled down to simple, yet meaningful, insights to help users make manageable lifestyle changes and take a more proactive approach that could mitigate the risks of chronic disease. A fundamental part of our corporate development strategy is to establish one or more strategic partnerships that would allow us to more fully exploit the potential of our technology.
On April 28, 2021, the Company established Movano Ireland Limited, organized under the laws of Ireland, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Financial Operations Overview
We are a development stage company with a limited operating history. To date, we have invested substantially all of our efforts and financial resources into the research and development of the products we are developing, including conducting clinical studies and related general and administrative costs. To date, we have funded our operations primarily from the sale of our equity securities.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement - Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842) which requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet by recording a right-of-use asset and lease liability. We adopted this new guidance as of January 1, 2022 and applied the modified retrospective approach, whereby prior comparative periods will not be retrospectively presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements. We elected the package of practical expedients not to reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases and lease classification and the lessee practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset classes. We made a policy election to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases for all asset classes. See Note 12 Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements covered under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details.
Upon adoption on January 1, 2022, we recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases of $380,000 and $429,000, respectively. The difference between the right-of-use asset and lease liability primarily represents the net book value of deferred rent recognized as of December 31, 2021, which was adjusted against the right-of-use asset upon adoption.
Critical Accounting Policies and 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, 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. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to those disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates.”

Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, net loss was $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
As a result of the foregoing, net loss was $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $21.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company used $12.2 million of cash in our operating activities. The cash and short-term investments are not expected to be sufficient to enable us to complete the development and commercialization of our proposed planned solution. We have executed an at the market issuance agreement for $50 million which we will use as needed to fund operations. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for at least the next several years. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:
● | advance the engineering design and development of our proposed wearable and other potential products; |
● | prepare applications required for marketing approval of our proposed planned solution in the United States; |
● | develop our plans for manufacturing, distributing and marketing our proposed wearable and other potential products; and |
● | add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product development, planned commercialization efforts and our operation as a public company. |
Until we can generate a sufficient amount of revenue from our planned products, if ever, we expect to finance future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or corporate collaborations and licensing arrangements. Additional funds may not be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our research or development programs or our commercialization efforts. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience additional dilution, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. To the extent that we raise additional funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to our technologies or applications or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. We may seek to access the public or private capital markets whenever conditions are favorable, even if we do not have an immediate need for additional capital at that time.
These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Our financial statements do not include adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt securities to support our future operations.

The $7.8 million used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $10.3 million during the period and changes in our operating assets and liabilities totaling $0.3 million. These items were offset by non-cash items, including stock-based compensation of $0.7 million, accretion of the debt discount on our convertible promissory notes of $0.8 million, the forgiveness of our PPP loan of $0.4 million, accrued interest on our convertible promissory notes of $0.1 million, compensation of nonemployee services upon the issuance of common stock of $0.1 million, the change in the fair value of the derivative liability of $0.1 million and the change in the fair value of the warrant liability of $1.6 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We are responsible for maintaining disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on our management’s evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer) of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2022, the end of the period covered by this report.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We identified one material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting at June 30, 2022 related to ineffective design and operation of our financial close and reporting controls. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over certain account reviews and analyses and certain information technology general controls. Although we are making efforts to remediate these issues, these efforts may not be sufficient to avoid similar material weaknesses in the future.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of control effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On August 15, 2022, the Company entered into an At the Market Issuance Agreement (the “Issuance Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (the “Sales Agent”). Pursuant to the terms of the Issuance Agreement, the Company may sell from time to time through the Sales Agent shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000 (the “Shares”).

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the Sales Agent’s commissions and the Company’s offering expenses, for general corporate purposes.
Under the terms of the Issuance Agreement, the Company may also sell Shares to the Sales Agent as principal for its own accounts at a price to be agreed upon at the time of sale. Any sale of Shares to the Sales Agent as principal would be pursuant to the terms of a separate terms agreement between the Company and the Sales Agent.
The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares under the Issuance Agreement and may at any time suspend solicitation and offers under the Issuance Agreement.
The Shares will be offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-264116), as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated August 15, 2022.

The Company and B. Riley agree as follows:
1. Issuance and Sale of Placement Shares. The Company agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, it may issue and sell through or to B. Riley, as sales agent or principal, Placement Shares; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company issue or sell through or to B. Riley Placement Shares that would result in the aggregate gross sales price of all Common Stock sold pursuant to this Agreement or any Terms Agreement exceeding the Maximum Amount; provided further, however, that in no event shall the aggregate number of Placement Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement exceed the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock at any time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitations set forth in this Section 1 on the number or dollar amount of Placement Shares issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Company and that B. Riley shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. The issuance and sale of the Placement Shares through or to B. Riley will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement, although nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Company to use the Registration Statement to issue any Placement Shares.
2. Agency and Principal Transactions.
(a) Agency Transactions. Each time that the Company wishes to issue and sell any Placement Shares hereunder through B. Riley, acting as agent (each such transaction, an “Agency Transaction”), it will notify B. Riley by email notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) containing the parameters in accordance with which the Company desires such Placement Shares to be sold (each such notice, a “Placement Notice”), which Placement Notice shall, at a minimum, include (w) the number of Placement Shares to be issued, (x) the time period during which sales are requested to be made, (y) any limitation on the number of Placement Shares that may be sold in any one Trading Day and (z) any minimum price below which sales may not be made. A form of Placement Notice which contains such minimum sales parameters is attached hereto as Schedule 1. Each Placement Notice is required to originate from one of the individuals from the Company set forth on Schedule 2, and shall be addressed to each of the individuals from B. Riley set forth on Schedule 2, as such Schedule 2 may be amended from time to time. Each Placement Notice shall be effective immediately upon receipt by B. Riley unless and until:
(i) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4, B. Riley declines to accept the terms contained therein for any reason, in its sole discretion,
-2-
(ii) the Maximum Amount of Placement Shares has been sold,
(iii) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4, the Company suspends or terminates such Placement Notice,
(iv) the Company issues a subsequent Placement Notice with parameters superseding those on such earlier dated Placement Notice, or
(v) this Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 11.
The amount of any discount, commission or other compensation to be paid by the Company to B. Riley in connection with the sale of the Placement Shares in any Agency Transaction shall be calculated in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule 3. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Company nor B. Riley will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to an Agency Transaction unless and until the Company delivers a Placement Notice to B. Riley and B. Riley does not decline such Placement Notice pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms specified in this Agreement and such Placement Notice. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice, the terms of the Placement Notice will control.
(b) Principal Transactions. The Company may also offer to sell the Placement Shares directly to B. Riley, as principal, in which event such parties shall enter into a separate agreement (each such agreement, a “Terms Agreement”) in substantially the form set forth in Schedule 2(b) hereto (with such changes thereto as may be agreed upon by the Company and B. Riley), relating to such sale in accordance with Section 3(b) hereof (each such transaction being referred to as a “Principal Transaction”). Each of the Company and B. Riley agree that any Terms Agreement may be completed in the form of an electronic mail communication with such acceptance and agreement coming in the form of an electronic mail communication to be sent and received, in each case by an individual from the Company and B. Riley set forth on Schedule 2 hereto, as such Schedule 2 may be amended from time to time. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Terms Agreement, the terms of such Terms Agreement shall control.
3. Sale of Placement Shares by B. Riley.
(a) Agency Sales of Placement Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, upon the Company’s delivery of a Placement Notice with respect to an Agency Transaction, and unless the sale of the Placement Shares described therein has been declined, suspended, or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, B. Riley, for the period specified in the Placement Notice, will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) to sell such Placement Shares up to the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of, such Placement Notice. B. Riley will provide written confirmation to the Company (including by email correspondence to each of the individuals of the Company set forth on Schedule 2, if receipt of such correspondence is actually acknowledged by any of the individuals to whom the notice is sent, other than via auto-reply), no later than the opening of the Trading Day immediately following the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Placement Shares hereunder setting forth the number of Placement Shares sold on such day, the volume-weighted average price of the Placement Shares sold, the Net Proceeds (as defined below) payable to the Company in respect thereof and the compensation payable by the Company to B. Riley pursuant to the terms hereof with respect to such sales. B. Riley may sell Placement Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 of the 1933 Act Regulations. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that B. Riley will be successful in selling Placement Shares and (ii) B. Riley will incur no liability or obligation to the Company or any other person or entity if it does not sell Placement Shares for any reason other than a failure by B. Riley to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Placement Shares as required under this Section 3.

Riley. The commitment of B. Riley to purchase the Placement Shares pursuant to any Terms Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company contained, and shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth, in this Agreement and such Terms Agreement. Any such Terms Agreement shall specify the number of the Placement Shares to be purchased by B. Riley pursuant thereto, the timing and method of such sale, the price to be paid to the Company for such Placement Shares, and the time, date (each such time and date being referred to herein as a “Principal Settlement Date”) and place of delivery of and payment for such Placement Shares.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not offer, sell or deliver, or request the offer or sale, of any Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement (whether in an Agency Transaction or a Principal Transaction) and, by notice to B. Riley given by telephone (confirmed promptly by email to one of the individuals of B. Riley set forth on Schedule 2), shall cancel any instructions for the offer or sale of any Placement Shares, and B. Riley shall not be obligated to offer or sell any Placement Shares, during any period in which the Company is, or reasonably could be deemed to be, in possession of material non-public information.
4. Suspension of Sales.
(a) The Company or B. Riley may, upon notice to the other party in writing (including by email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 2, if receipt of such correspondence is actually acknowledged by any of the individuals to whom the notice is sent, other than via auto-reply) or by telephone (confirmed immediately by verifiable facsimile transmission or email correspondence to each of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 2), suspend any sale of Placement Shares; provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair either party’s obligations with respect to any Placement Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice or their respective obligations under any Terms Agreement. Each of the parties agrees that no such notice under this Section 4 shall be effective against the other unless it is made to the individuals named on Schedule 2 hereto, as such schedule may be amended from time to time.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, during any period in which the Registration Statement is no longer effective under the 1933 Act, the Company shall promptly notify B. Riley, the Company shall not request the sale of any Placement Shares, and B. Riley shall not be obligated to sell or offer to sell any Placement Shares.
5. Settlement.
(a) Settlement of Placement Shares. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Placement Notice, settlement for sales of Placement Shares in an Agency Transaction will occur on the second (2nd) Trading Day (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made (each such date, an “Agency Settlement Date” and the first such Agency Settlement Date, the “First Delivery Date”; and any Agency Settlement Date and Principal Settlement Date shall be referred to as a “Settlement Date”). The amount of proceeds to be delivered to the Company on a Settlement Date against receipt of the Placement Shares sold (the “Net Proceeds”) will be equal to the aggregate sales price received by B. Riley at which such Placement Shares were sold, after deduction for (i) B. Riley’s commission, discount or other compensation for such sales payable by the Company pursuant to Section 2 hereof or pursuant to any applicable Terms Agreement, (ii) any other amounts due and payable by the Company to B. Riley hereunder pursuant to Section 7(j) hereof, and (iii) any transaction fees imposed by any governmental or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales.

(b) Delivery of Placement Shares. On or before each Settlement Date, the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Placement Shares being sold by crediting B. Riley’s or its designee’s account (provided that B. Riley shall have given the Company written notice of such designee at least one Business Day prior to the Settlement Date) at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian system or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto against payment by B. Riley of the related Net Proceeds in respect of the sale of such Placement Shares in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company on, or prior to, the Settlement Date. Upon such settlement, such Placement Shares shall be freely tradeable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form. The Company agrees that if the Company, or its transfer agent (if applicable), defaults in its obligation to deliver duly authorized Placement Shares on a Settlement Date, the Company agrees that in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Section 9(a) (Indemnification and Contribution) hereto, it will (i) hold B. Riley harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company and (ii) pay to B. Riley any commission, discount, or other compensation to which it would otherwise have been entitled absent such default.

Riley under this Agreement and any Terms Agreement, and the gross proceeds and Net Proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Placement Shares and the compensation paid by the Company with respect to sales of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement during the relevant quarter or, in the case of an Annual Report on Form 10-K, during the fiscal year covered by such Annual Report and the fourth quarter of such fiscal year.
-16-
(p) On or prior to the First Delivery Date and each time (i) the Company files the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares or amends or supplements the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares (other than a prospectus supplement filed in accordance with Section 7(o) of this Agreement) by means of a post-effective amendment, sticker, or supplement but not by means of incorporation of document(s) by reference to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares; (ii) the Company files an annual report on Form 10-K under the 1934 Act; (iii) the Company files its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q under the 1934 Act; or (iv) the Company files a report on Form 8-K containing amended financial information (other than an earnings release and only if B. Riley reasonably determines that the information contained in such Form 8-K of the Company is material) under the 1934 Act (each date of filing of one or more of the documents referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) shall be a “Bring-Down Date”); the Company shall furnish B. Riley with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(p) within (A) three (3) Trading Days of any Bring-Down Date, other than a Bring-Down Date triggered by the Company filing an annual report on Form 10-K under the 1934 Act (a “10-K Bring-Down Date”) or (B) ten (10) Trading Days of any 10-K Bring-Down Date, in each case if requested by B. Riley. The requirement to provide a certificate under this Section 7(p) shall be waived for any Bring-Down Date occurring at a time at which no Agency Transaction is pending or Principal Transaction is pending or ongoing, which waiver shall continue until the earlier to occur of the date the Company delivers a Placement Notice or enters into a Terms Agreement hereunder (which for such calendar quarter shall be considered a Bring-Down Date) and the next occurring Bring-Down Date; provided, however, that such waiver shall not apply for a 10-K Bring-Down Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently decides to sell Placement Shares in an Agency Transaction or Principal Transaction following a Bring-Down Date when the Company relied on such waiver and did not provide B. Riley with a certificate under this Section 7(p), then before the Company enters into a Terms Agreement or delivers a Placement Notice, the Company shall provide B. Riley with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(p), dated the date of such Placement Notice for an Agency Transaction and with respect to any Principal Transaction pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(p) shall be delivered at the applicable Principal Settlement Date.
(q) On or prior to the First Delivery Date, the Company shall cause to be furnished to B. Riley a written opinion and a negative assurance letter of K&L Gates LLP (“Company Counsel”), or other counsel reasonably satisfactory to B. Riley, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to B. Riley and its counsel. Thereafter, within (A) three (3) Trading Days of each Bring-Down Date, other than a 10-K Bring-Down Date, or (B) ten (10) Trading Days of each 10-K Bring-Down Date, with respect to which the Company is obligated to deliver a certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(p) for which no waiver is applicable, the Company shall cause to be furnished to B. Riley a negative assurance letter of Company Counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to B. Riley and its counsel; provided, however, that in lieu of such negative assurance letters for subsequent Bring-Down Dates, counsel may furnish B. Riley with a letter (a “Reliance Letter”) to the effect that B. Riley may rely on a prior negative assurance letter delivered under this Section 7(q) to the same extent as if it were dated the date of such letter (except that statements in such prior letter shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented at such Bring-Down Date).
(r) On or prior to the First Delivery Date and within (A) three (3) Trading Days of each Bring-Down Date, other than a 10-K Bring-Down Date or (B) ten (10) Trading Days of each 10-K Bring-Down Date, other than pursuant to Section 7(p)(iii), with respect to which the Company is obligated to deliver a certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(p) for which no waiver is applicable, the Company shall cause its independent accountants to furnish B. Riley a letter (the “Comfort Letter”), dated the date such Comfort Letter is delivered, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to B. Riley, (i) confirming that they are an independent registered public accounting firm within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the PCAOB, (ii) stating, as of such date, the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters ordinarily covered by accountants’ “comfort letters” to B. Riley in connection with registered public offerings (the first such letter, the “Initial Comfort Letter”) and (iii) updating the Initial Comfort Letter with any information that would have been included in the Initial Comfort Letter had it been given on such date and modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter.
(s) The Company will not, directly or indirectly, (i) take any action designed to or that would reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Common Stock in connection with the offering of the Placement Shares contemplated hereby or (ii) sell, bid for, or purchase the Common Stock to be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement or any Terms Agreement, or pay anyone any compensation for soliciting purchases of the Placement Shares other than B. Riley; provided, however, that (x) the Company may bid for and purchase shares of its common stock in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the 1934 Act and (y) nothing herein shall prevent the Company from filing or submitting reports under the 1934 Act or issuing press releases in the ordinary course of business.
(t) Other than a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, neither B. Riley nor the Company (including its agents and representatives, other than B. Riley in its capacity as such) will make, use, prepare, authorize, approve or refer to any written communication (as defined in Rule 405), required to be filed with the Commission, that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy Placement Shares hereunder.
-17-
(u) Each Placement Notice delivered by the Company to B. Riley and each execution and delivery by the Company of a Terms Agreement shall be deemed to be (i) an affirmation that the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company herein contained and contained in any certificate delivered to B. Riley pursuant hereto are true and correct at the time of delivery of such Placement Notice or the date of such Terms Agreement, as the case may be, and (ii) an undertaking that such representations, warranties and agreements will be true and correct on any applicable Representation Date, as though made at and as of each such time (it being understood that such representations, warranties and agreements shall relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of such Placement Notice acceptance or Terms Agreement, as the case may be).
8. Conditions to B. Riley’s Obligations. The obligations of B. Riley hereunder with respect to a Placement Notice or pursuant to any Terms Agreement will be subject to the continuing accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties made by the Company herein, to the due performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and thereunder in all material respects, to the completion by B. Riley of a due diligence review satisfactory to B. Riley in its reasonable judgment, and to the continuing satisfaction (or waiver by B. Riley in its sole discretion) of the following additional conditions:
(a) Registration Statement Effective. The Registration Statement shall be effective and shall be available for (i) all sales of Placement Shares issued pursuant to all prior Placement Notices or any Terms Agreements and (ii) the sale of all Placement Shares contemplated to be issued pursuant to the applicable Agency Transaction or Terms Agreement.
(b) No Material Notices. None of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) receipt by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any request for additional information from the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the response to which would require any post-effective amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Placement Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) the occurrence of any event that makes any material statement made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any material document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, related Prospectus or such documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any materially untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any materially untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(c) No Misstatement or Material Omission. B. Riley shall not have advised the Company that the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, contains an untrue statement of fact that in B. Riley’s reasonable opinion is material, or omits to state a fact that in B. Riley’s reasonable opinion is material and is required to be stated therein or is necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
(d) Material Changes. Subsequent to the delivery of the applicable Placement Notice, in the case of any Agency Transaction, or subsequent to the execution of the applicable Terms Agreement, in the case of any Principal Transaction, except as contemplated in the Prospectus and the General Disclosure Package, or disclosed in the Company’s reports filed with the Commission, there shall not have been any Material Adverse Effect, or any development that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or a downgrading in or withdrawal of the rating assigned to any of the Company’s securities (other than asset backed securities) by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act (a “Rating Organization”), or a public announcement by any Rating Organization that it has under surveillance or review its rating of any of the Company’s securities (other than asset backed securities), the effect of which, in the case of any such action by a Rating Organization described above, in the reasonable judgment of B. Riley (without relieving the Company of any obligation or liability it may otherwise have), is so material as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering of the Placement Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.
-18-
(e) Company Counsel Legal Opinions. B. Riley shall have received the opinions and negative assurances of Company Counsel required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7(q) on or before the date on which such delivery of such opinion is required pursuant to Section 7(q).
(f) B. Riley Counsel Legal Opinion. B. Riley shall have received from Duane Morris LLP, counsel for B. Riley, such opinion or opinions, on or before the date on which the delivery of the Company Counsel legal opinion is required pursuant to Section 7(q), with respect to such matters as B. Riley may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they reasonably request for enabling them to pass upon such matters.
(g) Comfort Letter. B. Riley shall have received the Comfort Letter required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7(r) on or before the date on which such delivery of such Comfort Letter is required pursuant to Section 7(r).
(h) Representation Certificate. B. Riley shall have received the certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7(p) on or before the date on which delivery of such certificate is required pursuant to Section 7(p).
(i) Secretary’s Certificate. On or prior to the First Delivery Date and at each Principal Settlement Date, B. Riley shall have received a certificate, signed on behalf of the Company by its corporate secretary, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to B. Riley and its counsel.
(j) No Suspension. In the case of an Agency Transaction, from the time of delivery of the applicable Placement Notice until the applicable Settlement Date and, in the case of a Principal Transaction pursuant to a Terms Agreement, from the time and execution and delivery of the Terms Agreement until the applicable Principal Settlement Date, trading in the Common Stock shall not have been suspended on Nasdaq.
(k) Other Materials. On each date on which the Company is required to deliver a certificate pursuant to Section 7(p), the Company shall have furnished to B. Riley such appropriate further information, certificates and documents as B. Riley may have reasonably requested. All such opinions, certificates, letters and other documents shall have been in compliance with the provisions hereof. The Company will furnish B. Riley with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and other documents as B. Riley shall have reasonably requested.
(l) 1933 Act Filings Made. All filings with the Commission required by Rule 424 under the 1933 Act to have been filed prior to the issuance of any Placement Notice hereunder or prior to any Principal Settlement Date shall have been made within the applicable time period prescribed for such filing by Rule 424. To the extent required by applicable law, the Company shall file a prospectus supplement or a supplement to a prospectus supplement in connection with any Principal Transaction pursuant to a Terms Agreement within the applicable time period prescribed for such filing by Rule 424.
(m) Approval for Listing. The Placement Shares shall either have been (i) approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject only to notice of issuance, or (ii) the Company shall have filed an application for listing of the Placement Shares on Nasdaq at, or prior to, the issuance of any Placement Notice.
(n) No Termination Event. There shall not have occurred any event that would permit B. Riley to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11(a).
9. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) Company Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless B. Riley, its affiliates, as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act, the directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of B. Riley and each person, if any, who controls B. Riley within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows:
(i) against any and all loss, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
-19-
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company;
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by B. Riley), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;
provided, however, that this indemnity provision shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of B. Riley expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or in the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
(b) B. Riley Indemnification. B. Riley agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section 9, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or in the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by B. Riley expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or in the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
(c) Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (other than one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction), reasonably approved by the indemnifying party, representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 9 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
-20-
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as applicable, is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and B. Riley from the offering of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and B. Riley in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative benefits received by the Company and B. Riley in connection with the applicable offering of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total Net Proceeds from such offering of Placement Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total commissions received by B. Riley pursuant to this Agreement and any Terms Agreement.
The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and B. Riley on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by B. Riley and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Company and B. Riley agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 9(d). The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 9 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9(d), B. Riley shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total commissions received by it under this Agreement and any Terms Agreement.
No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
For purposes of this Section 9, each person, if any, who controls B. Riley within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each of B. Riley’s directors, officers, agents, employees and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as B. Riley, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
10. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section 9 of this Agreement and all representations and warranties of the Company herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive, as of their respective dates, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of B. Riley, any controlling persons, or the Company (or any of their respective officers, directors or controlling persons), (ii) delivery and acceptance of the Placement Shares and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.
-21-
11. Termination.
(a) B. Riley shall have the right by giving notice as hereinafter specified at any time to terminate this Agreement if (i) any Material Adverse Effect or any development that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect has occurred, that, in the reasonable judgment of B. Riley, may materially impair the ability of B. Riley to sell the Placement Shares hereunder, (ii) the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform any agreement on its part to be performed hereunder in any material respect; or (iii) any other condition of B. Riley’s obligations hereunder is not fulfilled in any material respect, or (iv) any suspension or limitation of trading in the Placement Shares or in securities generally on Nasdaq shall have occurred. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(j), Section 9 (Indemnification and Contribution), Section 10 (Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery), Section 16 (Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction) and Section 17 (Waiver of Jury Trial) hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. If B. Riley elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 11(a), B. Riley shall provide the required notice as specified in Section 12 (Notices).
(b) In the case of any purchase by B. Riley pursuant to a Terms Agreement, the obligations of B. Riley pursuant to such Terms Agreement shall be subject to termination by B. Riley at any time prior to or at the applicable Principal Settlement Date if (A) since the time of execution of the Terms Agreement or the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, (i) there has been any Material Adverse Effect; or (ii) there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of B. Riley, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Placement Shares or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Placement Shares; or (iii) (A) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or Nasdaq, or (B) if trading generally on Nasdaq has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by said exchange or by such system or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction; or (iv) if a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, or (v) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities. If B. Riley elects to terminate its obligations pursuant to this Section 11(b), the Company shall be notified promptly in writing.
(c) The Company shall have the right, by giving three (3) days’ notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(j), Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and Section 17 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.
(d) B. Riley shall have the right, by giving ten (10) days’ notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(j), Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and Section 17 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.
(e) Unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Section 11, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the issuance and sale of all of the Placement Shares to or through B. Riley on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; provided that the provisions of Section 7(j), Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and Section 17 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.
(f) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 11(a), (c), (d), or (e) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided, however, that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Section 7(j), Section 9, Section 10, Section 16 and Section 17 shall remain in full force and effect.
-22-
(g) Any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided, however, that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by B. Riley or the Company, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Placement Shares, such Placement Shares shall settle in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Movano Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance and sale (the “Offering”) by the Company from time to time of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000 (the “Shares”) pursuant to the At the Market Issuance Agreement dated August 15, 2022 (the “Sales Agreement”) by and among the Company and B. Riley Securities, Inc. as sales agent. The Shares have been registered on a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-264116), (such registration statement, including documents incorporated by reference therein and amendments thereto, the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 4, 2022.
This opinion letter is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The Company has requested our opinion as to the matters set forth below in connection with the Registration Statement. For the purposes of rendering that opinion, we have examined: (i) the Registration Statement, including the exhibits filed therewith; (ii) the Sales Agreement; (iii) the Company’s prospectus supplement, dated August 15, 2022, filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (including the documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference therein) (the “Prospectus Supplement”); (iv) the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended through the date hereof (the “Certificate of Incorporation”); (v) the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws; (vi) the Company’s stock ledger; and (vii) the corporate action or actions of the Company that provides for the issuance of the Shares (the “Authorizing Resolutions”). We have also made such other investigation as we have deemed appropriate. We have examined and relied upon certificates of public officials and such other documents and instruments, and, as to certain matters of fact that are material to our opinion, we have also relied upon a certificate of an officer of the Company. We have considered such matters of law as we have deemed necessary to render the opinion contained herein.

For the purposes of this opinion letter, we have made assumptions that are customary in opinion letters of this kind, including the assumptions that each document submitted to us is accurate and complete, that each such document that is an original is authentic, that each such document that is a copy conforms to an authentic original, the conformity to the original or final versions of the documents submitted to us as copies or drafts and that all signatures on each such document are genuine. We have further assumed the legal capacity of natural persons. We have not verified any of those assumptions.
In rendering our opinion below, we also have assumed that: (i) the Company will have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock at the time of each issuance of Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement to provide for such issuance, (ii) the issuance of all Shares will be duly noted in the Company’s stock ledger upon issuance, (iii) the Sales Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the parties thereto, enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with its terms, (iv) prior to the issuance of any of the Shares, a Pricer (as defined in the Authorizing Resolutions) will determine the price and certain other terms of issuance of such Shares in accordance with the Authorizing Resolutions, (v) the Agents will exercise any authority delegated to the Agents by a Pricer pursuant to the Authorizing Resolutions solely in accordance with such delegated authority, and (vi) the Offering will be conducted during the Authorized Term (as defined in the Authorizing Resolutions), the number of Shares sold in the Offering will not exceed the Maximum Share Amount (as defined in the Authorizing Resolutions), and the price of the Shares sold in the Offering will not be less than the Minimum Per Share Price (as defined in the Authorizing Resolutions) unless the Pricing Committee (as defined in the Authorizing Resolutions) approves any proposed modifications to such terms of the Offering as set forth in the Authorizing Resolutions. We have not verified any of those assumptions.
Our opinion set forth below is limited to the DGCL and reported judicial decisions interpreting the DGCL.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares have been duly and validly authorized for issuance by the Company and, when issued and delivered by the Company and paid for pursuant to the Sales Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
The opinion set forth above is subject to the following additional assumptions: (i) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto (including any post-effective amendment) under the Securities Act shall not have been terminated, suspended or rescinded, (ii) all Shares offered pursuant to the Registration Statement will be issued and sold (a) in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations and solely in the manner provided in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement and (b) only upon payment of the consideration fixed therefor in accordance with the Sales Agreement, and (iii) there will not have occurred any change in law or fact affecting the validity of any of the opinions rendered herein with respect thereto. We assume no obligation to update or supplement our opinion to reflect any changes of law or fact that may occur.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 15, 2022 and to the incorporation by reference of this opinion in the Registration Statement, and to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus Supplement. In giving our consent we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules or regulations thereunder. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or any subsequent changes in law.
Yours truly, | |
