Lucid is focused on the millions of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), also known as chronic heartburn, who are at risk of developing esophageal precancer and cancer. EsoGuard is a bisulfite-converted next-generation sequencing (NGS) DNA assay performed on surface esophageal cells collected with EsoCheck. Cell samples, including those collected with EsoCheck, as discussed below, are sent to our laboratory, for testing and analyses using our proprietary EsoGuard NGS DNA assay. EsoCheck is an FDA 510(k) cleared and CE Mark certified noninvasive swallowable balloon capsule catheter device designed for in-office targeted sampling of surface esophageal cells in a less than two minute long office procedure. It consists of a vitamin sized semi-rigid plastic capsule tethered to a thin silicone catheter from which a soft inflatable silicone balloon with textured ridges emerges to gently swab surface esophageal cells. When suction is applied, the balloon and sampled cells are pulled into the capsule, protecting them from contamination and dilution by cells outside of the targeted region during device withdrawal. EsoGuard and EsoCheck are based on patented technology licensed by Lucid from Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”). EsoGuard and EsoCheck have been developed to provide an accurate, non-invasive, patient-friendly test for the early detection of EAC and Barrett’s Esophagus (“BE”), including dysplastic BE and related precursors to EAC in patients with chronic GERD. ### **Note 2 — Liquidity and Going Concern** The Company’s management is required to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of the financial statements being issued. In each reporting period, including interim periods, an entity is required to assess conditions known and reasonably knowable as of the financial statement issuance date to determine whether it is probable an entity will not meet its financial obligations within one year from the financial statement issuance date. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate it is probable the entity will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The Company has financed its operations principally through public and private issuances of its common stock, preferred stock, and debt. The Company is subject to all of the risks and uncertainties typically faced by medical device and diagnostic companies that devote substantially all of their efforts to the commercialization of their initial product and services and ongoing research and development activities and conducting clinical trials. The Company generated $1.2 million and $3.2 million of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, however the Company expects to continue to experience recurring losses and to generate negative cash flows from operating activities in the near future. The Company incurred a net loss attributable to its common stockholders of approximately $54.3 million and had net cash flows used in operating activities of approximately $33.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had working capital of approximately $23.6 million, with such working capital inclusive of the 2024 Convertible Notes (as defined below) classified as a current liability of approximately $22.3 million and approximately $47.3 million of cash. The Company’s ability to continue operations 12 months beyond the issuance of the financial statements, will depend upon generating substantial revenue that is conditioned upon obtaining positive third-party reimbursement coverage for its EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test from both government and private health insurance providers, and increasing revenue through cash pay and contracted revenue programs that target, among others, concierge medicine practices and self-insured employers, and on its ability to raise additional capital through various potential sources including equity and/or debt financings or refinancing existing debt obligations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. 6 ### **Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** **Significant Accounting Policies** The Company’s significant accounting policies are as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on March 24, 2025, except as otherwise noted herein below. **Basis of Presentation** The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is a non-consolidated subsidiary of PAVmed, which has the ability to exercise significant influence over the Company. The Company manages its operations as a single operating segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. As permitted under SEC rules, certain footnotes or other financial information normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements at such date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, and in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of routine recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial information. The unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any other interim period or for any other future periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related unaudited condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 24, 2025. All amounts in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto are presented in thousands of dollars, if not otherwise noted as being presented in millions of dollars, except for shares and per share amounts. **Use of Estimates** In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and the determination of corresponding carrying value reserves, if any, and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent losses, as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include those related to the estimated fair value of debt obligations, stock-based equity awards and intangible assets. Other significant estimates include the estimated incremental borrowing rate, the provision or benefit for income taxes and the corresponding valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Additionally, management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Due to inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in these estimates. **Revenue Recognition** Revenues are recognized when the satisfaction of the performance obligation occurs, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to collect in exchange for those services. The Company’s revenue is primarily generated by its laboratory testing services utilizing its EsoGuard Esophageal DNA tests. The services are completed upon release of a patient’s test result to the ordering healthcare provider. Revenue recognized is inclusive of both variable consideration in connection with an individual patient’s third-party insurance coverage policy and fixed consideration in connection with a contracted services arrangement with an unrelated third party legal entity. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. 7 ### **Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** - continued The key aspects considered by the Company include the following: *Contracts*—The Company’s customer is primarily the patient, but the Company does not enter into a formal reimbursement contract with a patient. The Company establishes a contract with a patient in accordance with other customary business practices, which is the point in time an order is received from a provider and a patient specimen has been returned to the laboratory for testing. Payment terms are a function of a patient’s existing insurance benefits, including the impact of coverage decisions with Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and applicable reimbursement contracts established between the Company and payers. The Company’s consideration can be deemed variable or fixed depending on the structure of specific payer contracts, and the Company considers collection of such consideration to be probable to the extent that it is unconstrained. *Performance obligations*—A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) to the customer. The Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, which is satisfied upon rendering of services, which culminates in the release of a patient’s test result to the ordering healthcare provider. The Company elects the practical expedient related to the disclosure of unsatisfied performance obligations, as the duration of time between providing testing supplies, the receipt of a sample, and the release of a test result to the ordering healthcare provider is far less than one year. *Transaction price*—The transaction price is the amount of consideration that the Company expects to collect in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example, some sales taxes). The consideration expected to be collected from a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. If the consideration derived from the contracts is deemed to be variable, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the promised goods or services. The Company limits the amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price to the unconstrained portion of such consideration. In other words, the Company recognizes revenue up to the amount of variable consideration that is not subject to a significant reversal until additional information is obtained or the uncertainty associated with the additional payments or refunds is subsequently resolved. When the Company does not have significant historical experience or that experience has limited predictive value, the constraint over estimates of variable consideration may result in no revenue being recognized upon delivery of patient EsoGuard test results to the ordering healthcare provider. As such, the Company recognizes revenue up to the amount of variable consideration not subject to a significant reversal until additional information is obtained or the uncertainty associated with additional payments or refunds, if any, is subsequently resolved. Differences between original estimates and subsequent revisions, including final settlements, represent changes in estimated expected variable consideration, with the change in estimate recognized in the period of such revised estimate. With respect to a contracted service arrangement, the fixed consideration revenue is recognized on an as-billed basis upon delivery of the laboratory test report with realization of such fixed consideration deemed probable based upon actual historical experience. *Allocate transaction price*—The transaction price is allocated entirely to the performance obligation contained within the contract with a customer on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or service. *Practical Expedients*—The Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component, as at contract inception, the Company expects the collection cycle to be one year or less. **Fair Value Option (“FVO”) Election** Under a Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 12, 2024, the Company issued Senior Secured Convertible Notes dated November 22, 2024, referred to herein as the “2024 Convertible Notes”, which are accounted under the “fair value option election” as discussed below. Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, *Derivative and Hedging*, (“ASC 815”), a financial instrument containing embedded features and/or options may be required to be bifurcated from the financial instrument host and recognized as separate derivative asset or liability, with the bifurcated derivative asset or liability initially measured at estimated fair value as of the transaction issue date and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value as of each reporting period balance sheet date. Alternatively, FASB ASC Topic 825, *Financial Instruments*, (“ASC 825”) provides for the “fair value option” (“FVO”) election. In this regard, ASC 825-10-15-4 provides for the FVO election (to the extent not otherwise prohibited by ASC 825-10-15-5) to be afforded to financial instruments, wherein the financial instrument is initially measured at estimated fair value as of the transaction issue date and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value as of each reporting period balance sheet date, with changes in the estimated fair value recognized as other income (expense) in the statement of operations. The estimated fair value adjustment of the 2024 Convertible Note, including the component related to accrued interest, is presented in a single line item within other income (expense) in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations (as provided for by ASC 825-10-50-30(b)). Further, as required by ASC 825-10-45-5, to the extent a portion of the fair value adjustment is attributed to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk, such portion would be recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) (for which there was no such adjustment with respect to the 2024 Convertible Notes). See Note 9, *Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements*, with respect to the FVO election; and Note 10, *Debt*, for a discussion of the 2024 Convertible Notes. 8 ### **Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** - continued **Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements** In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 provide for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company prospectively to all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2025, on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect the standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. **Recent Accounting Standards Updates Not Yet Adopted** In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This update enhances financial statement disclosures by requiring public business entities to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses including the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, and (d) intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. The update also requires disclosure of certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP, disclosure of a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The amendments in this update may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively and are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This update modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification to conform with certain SEC amendments in Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively, and the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or S-K becomes effective. However, if the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations by June 30, 2027, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this update will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. ### **Note 4 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers** *Revenue Recognized* In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized revenue of $1,211 and $3,202, respectively, resulting from the delivery of patient EsoGuard test results. Revenue recognized from customer contracts deemed to include a variable consideration transaction price is limited to the unconstrained portion of the variable consideration. The Company’s revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $1,172 and $3,149, respectively, resulting from the delivery of patient EsoGuard test results. *Cost of Revenue* The cost of revenues principally includes the costs related to the Company’s laboratory operations (excluding estimated costs associated with research activities), the costs related to the EsoCheck cell collection device, cell sample mailing kits and license royalties. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the cost of revenue was $1,697 and $4,810, respectively, primarily related to costs for our laboratory operations and EsoCheck device supplies. The Company’s cost of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $1,684 and $4,954, respectively, primarily related to costs for our laboratory operations and EsoCheck device supplies. 9 ### **Note 5 — Related Party Transactions** The aggregate Due To: PAVmed Inc. for the period indicated is summarized as follows: The aggregate Due To: PAVmed Inc | Balance - December 31, 2024 | MSA Fees / — | Employee-Related Costs / — | PAVmed Inc.

The MSA does not have a termination date, but may be terminated by the Company’s board of directors. The MSA Fee is charged on a monthly basis and is subject to periodic adjustment corresponding with changes in the services provided by PAVmed personnel to the Company, with any such change in the MSA Fee being subject to approval of the boards of directors of each of the Company and PAVmed. Currently, under the terms of PAVmed’s outstanding convertible debt, PAVmed is required to elect to receive such payments in cash. The MSA Fee expense classification in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the periods noted is as follows: Schedule of MSA Fee Expense Classification in Statements of Operations  | Line item | 2025 / Three Months Ended September 30, | 2024 / Three Months Ended September 30, | 2025 / Nine Months Ended September 30, | 2024 / Nine Months Ended September 30, | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Sales & Marketing | $165 | $127 | $493 | $417 | | General & Administrative | 2,252 | 1,803 | 6,758 | 5,860 | | Research & Development | 733 | 570 | 2,199 | 1,873 | | Total MSA Fee | $3,150 | $2,500 | $9,450 | $8,150 | The classification of the MSA Fee as presented above is based on the PAVmed classification of employee salary expense and other operating expenses. In this regard, PAVmed classifies employee salary expense as sales and marketing expenses for employees performing sales, sales support and marketing activities, research and development expenses for those employees who are engaged in product and services engineering development and design and /or clinical trials activities, and other employees and activities classified as general and administrative. 10 ### **Note 6 — Prepaid Expenses, Deposits, and Other Current Assets** Prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of the following as of: Schedule of Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets  | Line item | September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | | --- | --- | --- | | Advanced payments to service providers and suppliers | $370 | $581 | | Prepaid insurance | 59 | 443 | | Deposits | 1,045 | 1,020 | | Subscribed amounts due from investors | — | 360 | | Total prepaid expenses, deposits and other current assets | $1,474 | $2,404 | ### **Note 7 — Leases** The Company’s future lease payments as of September 30, 2025, which are presented as operating lease liabilities, current portion and operating lease liabilities, less current portion on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets are as follows: Schedule of Future Lease Payments of Operating Lease Liabilities  | | | | --- | --- | | $2025 (remainder of year) | $253 | | 2026 | 998 | | 2027 | 942 | | 2028 | 19 | | 2029 | — | | Total lease payments | $2,212 | | Less: imputed interest | (177) | | Present value of lease liabilities | $2,035 | Supplemental disclosure of cash flow information related to the Company’s cash and non-cash activities with its leases are as follows: Schedule of Cash Flow Supplemental Information  | Line item | 2025 / Nine Months Ended September 30, | 2024 / Nine Months Ended September 30, | | --- | --- | --- | | Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities | | | | Operating cash flows from operating leases | $789 | $889 | | Non-cash investing and financing activities | | | | Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities | $34 | $2,347 | | Weighted-average remaining lease term - operating leases (in years) | 2.23 | 3.17 | | Weighted-average discount rate - operating leases | 7.915% | 7.875% | As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s right-of-use assets from operating leases were $2,021 and $2,637, respectively, which are reported in operating lease right-of-use assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding operating lease obligations of $2,035 and $2,654, respectively, of which $878 and $854, respectively, are reported in operating lease liabilities, current portion and $1,157 and $1,800, respectively, are reported in operating lease liabilities less current portion in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company calculates its incremental borrowing rates for specific lease terms, as a function of the financing terms the Company would likely receive on the open market. 11 ### **Note 8 — Commitment and Contingencies** *Other Matters* In the ordinary course of Lucid’s business, particularly as it begins commercialization of its products, the Company may be subject to certain other legal actions and claims, including product liability, consumer, commercial, tax and governmental matters, which may arise from time to time. The Company is not aware of any such pending legal or other proceedings that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company. Notwithstanding, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and an unfavorable outcome could include monetary damages, and excessive verdicts can result from litigation, and as such, could result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and/or cash flows. Additionally, although the Company has specific insurance for certain potential risks, the Company may in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims which may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and /or cash flows. ### **Note 9 — Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements** *Recurring Fair Value Measurements* The fair value hierarchy table for the reporting date noted is as follows: Schedule of Financial Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on Recurring Basis  | Line item | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | Fair Value Measurement on a Recurring Basis at Reporting Date Using1 | | | | | | Level-1 Inputs | Level-2 Inputs | Level-3 Inputs | Total | | September 30, 2025 | | | | | | 2024 Convertible Notes | — | — | $22,300 | $22,300 | | Totals | — | — | $22,300 | $22,300 | | December 31, 2024 | Level-1 Inputs | Level-2 Inputs | Level-3 Inputs | Total | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2024 Convertible Notes | — | — | $18,600 | $18,600 | | Totals | — | — | $18,600 | $18,600 | | Fair value of liability | — | — | $18,600 | $18,600 | 1 There were no transfers between the respective Levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. 12 ### **Note 9 — Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements** - continued As discussed in Note 10, *Debt*, the Company issued Senior Secured Convertible Notes dated November 22, 2024 with a $21.975 million face value principal (“2024 Convertible Notes”). The convertible notes are accounted for under the fair value option (“FVO”) election, wherein, the financial instruments are initially measured at their issue date estimated fair value and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date. The estimated fair value of the financial instruments classified within the Level 3 category was determined using both observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Unrealized gains and losses associated with liabilities within the Level 3 category include changes in fair value attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long- dated volatilities) inputs. The estimated fair value of the 2024 Convertible Notes as of each September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was computed using a Monte Carlo simulation of the present value of its cash flows using a synthetic credit rating analysis and a required rate-of-return, using the following assumptions: Schedule of Fair Value Assumption Used | Line item | 2024 Convertible Notes: September 30, 2025 | 2024 Convertible Notes: December 31, 2024 | | --- | --- | --- | | Fair Value | $22,300 | $18,600 | | Face value principal payable | $21,975 | $21,975 | | Required rate of return | 28.70% | 29.00% | | Conversion Price | $1.00 | $1.00 | | Value of common stock | $1.01 | $0.819 | | Expected term (years) | 4.15 | 4.90 | | Volatility | 40.00% | 40.00% | | Risk free rate | 3.62% | 4.28% | | Dividend yield | — | — | The estimated fair values reported utilized the Company’s common stock price along with certain Level 3 inputs (as discussed in the table above), in the development of Monte Carlo simulation models, discounted cash flow analyses, and /or Black-Scholes valuation models. The estimated fair values are subjective and are affected by changes in inputs to the valuation models and analyses, including the Company’s common stock price, the Company’s dividend yield, the risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields, and certain other Level-3 inputs including, assumptions regarding the estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s common stock price and the volatility of similar entities within the medical device industry. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the estimated fair values. ### **Note 10 — Debt** The fair value and face value principal outstanding of the 2024 Convertible Notes as of the dates indicated are as follows: Summary of Outstanding Debt | Line item | Contractual Maturity Date | Stated Interest Rate | Conversion Price per Share | Face Value Principal Outstanding | Fair Value | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2024 Convertible Notes | November 22, 2029 | 12.000% | $1.00 | $21,975 | $22,300 | | Balance as of September 30, 2025 | | | | $21,975 | $22,300 | | Line item | Contractual Maturity Date | Stated Interest Rate | Conversion Price per Share | Face Value Principal Outstanding | Fair Value | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2024 Convertible Notes | November 22, 2029 | 12.000% | $1.00 | $21,975 | $18,600 | | Balance as of December 31, 2024 | | | | $21,975 | $18,600 | 13 ### **Note 10 — Debt** - continued The changes in the fair value of debt during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 is as follows: Schedule of Changes in Fair Value of Debt | Line item | 2024 Convertible Notes | Other Income (expense) | | --- | --- | --- | | Fair Value at June 30, 2025 | $25,300 | — | | Non-installment payments – common stock | (75) | — | | Non-installment payments – cash interest paid | (584) | — | | Change in fair value | (2,341) | 2,341 | | Fair Value at September 30, 2025 | $22,300 | | | Other Income (Expense) - Change in fair value – three months ended September 30, 2025 | | $2,341 | | Line item | 2024 Convertible Notes | Other Income (expense) | | --- | --- | --- | | Fair Value - December 31, 2024 | $18,600 | — | | Non-installment payments – common stock | (182) | — | | Non-installment payments – cash interest paid | (1,415) | — | | Change in fair value | 5,297 | (5,297) | | Fair Value at September 30, 2025 | $22,300 | - | | Other Income (Expense) - Change in fair value – nine months ended September 30, 2025 | | $(5,297) | The changes in the fair value of debt during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 is as follows: | Line item | March 2023 Senior Convertible Note | Other Income (expense) | | --- | --- | --- | | Fair Value at June 30, 2024 | $11,200 | — | | Installment repayments – common stock | (1,142) | — | | Non-installment payments – common stock | (180) | — | | Change in fair value | 322 | (322) | | Fair Value at September 30, 2024 | $10,200 | | | Other Income (Expense) - Change in fair value – three months ended September 30, 2024 | | $(322) | | Line item | March 2023 Senior Convertible Note | Other Income (expense) | | --- | --- | --- | | Fair Value - December 31, 2023 | $13,950 | — | | Fair Value - Beginning Balance | $13,950 | — | | Installment repayments – common stock | (2,350) | — | | Non-installment payments – common stock | (832) | — | | Change in fair value | (568) | 568 | | Fair Value at September 30, 2024 | $10,200 | - | | Fair Value - Ending Balance | $10,200 | - | | Other Income (Expense) - Change in fair value – nine months ended September 30, 2024 | | $568 | 14 ### **Note 10 — Debt** - continued *2024 Convertible Notes* On November 22, 2024, the Company closed on the sale of $21.975 million in principal amount of Senior Secured Convertible Notes (collectively, the “2024 Convertible Notes”), in a private placement, to certain accredited investors (the “2024 Note Investors”). The sale of the 2024 Convertible Notes was completed pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 12, 2024 (the “2024 SPA”), between the Company and the 2024 Note Investors. The Company realized gross proceeds of $21.975 million and, after giving effect to the repayment in full of the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note, net proceeds of $18.3 million from the sale of the 2024 Convertible Notes. Each 2024 Convertible Note has a 12.0% annual stated interest rate, a contractual maturity date of five years from the date of issuance, and a contractual conversion price of $1.00 per share of the Company’s common stock (subject to (i) in the event of certain issuances of additional securities by the Company at a price per share less than the then applicable conversion price, adjustment to such lower price per share, and (ii) customary proportionate adjustment upon any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction). The Company held a stockholder meeting on June 18, 2025 at which the stockholders approved the issuance of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes in excess of any primary market limitations. Under the 2024 Convertible Notes, the Company is subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness and the making of investments, the payment of cash in respect of dividends, distributions or redemptions, the transfer of assets, the maturity of other indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, and the consummation of fundamental transactions where the aggregate consideration payable in respect thereof, as determined on a per share of the Company’s common stock basis, has a fair market value that is less than $1.50, among other customary matters. Under the 2024 Convertible Notes, the Company is subject to a financial covenant requiring that the amount of its available cash equal or exceed $5.0 million at all times that at least 25% of the principal amount of 2024 Convertible Notes issued are outstanding. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2025. The Company filed a resale registration statement on Form S-3 Registration No. 333-287496 effective May 30, 2025 covering the resale of all shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2024 Convertible Notes. 15 ### **Note 11 — Stock-Based Compensation** *Lucid Diagnostics 2018 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan* The Lucid Diagnostics Inc. 2018 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan (“Lucid Diagnostics 2018 Equity Plan”) is separate and apart from the PAVmed 2014 Equity Plan discussed below. The Lucid Diagnostics 2018 Equity Plan is designed to enable Lucid Diagnostics to offer employees, officers, directors, and consultants, an opportunity to acquire shares of common stock of Lucid Diagnostics. The types of awards that may be granted under the Lucid Diagnostics 2018 Equity Plan include stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and other stock-based awards subject to limitations under applicable law. All awards are subject to approval by the Lucid Diagnostics compensation committee.

Under the terms of the committed equity facility, Cantor has committed to purchase up to $50 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time at the request of the Company. While there are distinct differences, the facility is structured similarly to a traditional at-the-market equity facility, insofar as it allows the Company to raise primary equity capital on a periodic basis at prices based on the existing market price. Cumulatively a total of 680,263 shares of Lucid Diagnostics’ common stock were issued for net proceeds of approximately $1.8 million, after a 4% discount, as of September 30, 2025.

However, the Company has incurred net losses to-date, and as such holders are not contractually obligated to share in the losses, there is no impact on the Company’s net loss per share calculation for the periods indicated. Basic weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 include the shares of the Company issued and outstanding during such periods, each on a weighted average basis. The basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalent incremental shares, while diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding includes such incremental shares. However, as the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same, as the inclusion of the incremental shares would be anti-dilutive. The common stock equivalents excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding are as follows: Schedule of Common Stock Equivalents Excluded from Computation of Diluted Earnings Per Share | Line item | September 30, 2025 | September 30, 2024 | | --- | --- | --- | | Stock options | 9,927,410 | 8,662,549 | | Unvested restricted stock awards | 6,584,240 | 3,897,440 | | Preferred stock | 49,490,593 | 51,682,378 | | Total | 66,002,243 | 64,242,367 | ### **Note 14 — Segment Information** Lucid’s Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”).

We believe that our flagship product, the EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test, performed on samples collected with the EsoCheck Esophageal Cell Collection Device, constitutes the first and only commercially available diagnostic test capable of serving as a widespread tool for the early detection of esophageal precancer, including Barrett’s Esophagus (“BE”), in at-risk patients. Early detection of esophageal precancer allows patients to undergo appropriate monitoring and treatment, as indicated by clinical practice guidelines, in an effort to prevent progression to esophageal cancer. EsoGuard is a bisulfite-converted targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) DNA assay performed on surface esophageal cells collected with EsoCheck. It quantifies methylation at 31 sites on two genes, Vimentin (VIM) and Cyclin A1 (CCNA1). The assay has been evaluated in multiple studies, demonstrating sensitivity of ~90% for detecting disease along the full esophageal precancer to cancer spectrum, with a negative predictive value (NPV) of ~99%. Sensitivity and NPV remain very high even for detecting early precancer, which is unprecedented for a molecular diagnostic test*.* EsoCheck is an FDA 510(k) and CE Mark cleared noninvasive swallowable balloon capsule catheter device capable of sampling surface esophageal cells in a less than two minute office procedure. It consists of a vitamin pill-sized rigid plastic capsule tethered to a thin silicone catheter from which a soft silicone balloon with textured ridges emerges to gently swab surface esophageal cells. When vacuum suction is applied, the balloon and sampled cells are pulled into the capsule, protecting them from contamination and dilution by cells outside of the targeted region during device withdrawal. We believe this proprietary Collect+Protect™ technology makes EsoCheck the only noninvasive esophageal cell collection device capable of such anatomically targeted and protected sampling. EsoGuard and EsoCheck are based on patented technology licensed by Lucid from Case Western Reserve University (“CWRU”). EsoGuard and EsoCheck have been developed to provide an accurate, non-invasive, patient-friendly test for the early detection of EAC and BE, including dysplastic BE and related precursors to EAC in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (“GERD”), commonly known as chronic heartburn, acid reflux, or just reflux. **Recent Developments** *Medicare Coverage* In November 2024, we submitted to MolDx our complete clinical evidence package in support of a request for reconsideration of the non-coverage language in the local coverage determination, or “LCD,” to secure Medicare coverage for EsoGuard. The EsoGuard clinical evidence package included six new peer-reviewed publications: three clinical validation studies (two in the intended use population, one case control), two clinical utility studies, and one analytical validation study. The current LCD provides clear coverage criteria consistent with the American College of Gastroenterology, or “ACG,” guidelines for esophageal precancer testing. The package was submitted as part of a request for reconsideration of the non-coverage language in the LCD to secure Medicare coverage for EsoGuard. As part of the LCD reconsideration process, MolDx-participating Medicare Administrative Contractors convened a Contractor Advisory Committee, or “CAC,” Meeting regarding the LCD on September 4, 2025. At the meeting, eleven experts, including physicians across multiple specialties (GI, primary care, pathology), major society guideline co-authors (ACG, AGA (as defined below)) and industry leaders (American Foregut Society, American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy), participated in this extensive discussion of the unmet clinical need with respect to early detection of esophageal precancer and the strength of the EsoGuard clinical validity and clinical utility data. *Board Appointment* Effective September 22, 2025, the board of directors of the Company appointed John R. Palumbo as a Class B director of the Company. Mr. Palumbo was designated for appointment by certain of the holders of 2024 Convertible Notes. *Clinical Study Publications* In April 2025, the Company’s fifth peer-reviewed clinical utility manuscript, “*Enhancing the Diagnostic Yield of EGD for Diagnosis of Barrett’s Esophagus Through Methylated DNA Biomarker Triage*,” was published in *Gastroenterology & Hepatology*. This manuscript presents clinical utility data from the ENVET-BE study, which is the second to assess the clinical utility of EsoGuard in a real-world screening population. The ENVET-BE study analyzed 209 EsoGuard-positive patients who underwent biomarker triage and confirmatory EGD in the 2023 calendar year, to test the hypothesis that EGDs performed on patients who first triage positive on EsoGuard have higher diagnostic yield than screening EGDs alone. The yield of screening EGDs was estimated by literature-established disease prevalence (10.6%). A 2.4-fold increase in BE detection compared with the performance goal was observed for the full study population. In the cohort meeting American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) criteria for BE screening, the diagnostic yield was increased by 2.7-fold. On August 1, 2025, the *American Journal of Gastroenterology* e-published the manuscript *“Nonendoscopic Detection of Barrett’s Esophagus in Patients Without GERD Symptoms.”* This investigator-initiated pilot study evaluated EsoGuard in 120 patients without GERD symptoms, but who met American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) BE screening criteria. Of 34 EsoGuard-positive patients, 27 underwent EGD, confirming BE in 9 cases (PPV: 33%). Of 86 EsoGuard-negative patients, 22 volunteered for EGD, with zero BE cases (NPV: 100%). This is the first study to assess EsoGuard in this expanded risk group and informed the design of a larger, ongoing NIH R01-funded study. 22 **Recent Developments** - continued *September 2025 Confidentially Marketed Public Offering* On September 11, 2025, the Company closed on the sale of 28,750,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $1.00 per share (the “September 2025 Offering”). The net proceeds of the September 2025 Offering, after deducting the estimated placement agent’s fees and other expenses of $1.8 million, was approximately $27.0 million.

The Company will partner with Hoag to offer EsoGuard testing across its digestive health, primary care, and concierge medicine programs. *NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines Update* In March 2025, we announced that a recent update to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) focused on Esophageal and Esophagogastric Junction Cancers (Version 1.2025) has added a new section on BE screening. The NCCN Guidelines® now reference professional society guidelines on BE screening, including the most recent ACG clinical guideline discussed above, which recommends non-endoscopic biomarker testing, such as EsoGuard performed on samples collected with EsoCheck, as an acceptable alternative to invasive upper endoscopy to detect esophageal precancer. *Highmark Reimbursement Approval* On March 13, 2025, the Company announced that Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, has issued a positive coverage policy for non-invasive screening of esophageal precancer and cancer in New York state. The new policy, which became effective as of May 26, 2025, covers EsoGuard in patients who meet established criteria for esophageal precancer testing consistent with professional society guidelines. *CWRU NIH Grant Related to EsoGuard and EsoCheck* On February 27, 2025, the Company announced that principal investigators from Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and University Hospitals (UH), were awarded an $8 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) R01 grant to conduct a five-year clinical study designed to evaluate esophageal precancer detection using EsoCheck and EsoGuard among at-risk individuals without symptoms of chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The study, “A Clinical Trial of Cancer Prevention by Biomarker Based Detections of Barrett’s Esophagus and Its Progression,” aims to evaluate the effectiveness of EsoCheck and EsoGuard in detecting esophageal precancer (Barrett’s Esophagus or BE) to prevent esophageal cancer (EAC) within a non-GERD at-risk population. To accomplish this aim, 800 patients without GERD symptoms who meet the American Gastroenterological Association’s (AGA) risk criteria for screening will be recruited across five participating research centers: University Hospitals, University of Colorado, Johns Hopkins University, University of North Carolina, and Cleveland Clinic. 23 **Results of Operations** **Overview** ***Revenue*** The Company recognized revenue resulting from the delivery of patient EsoGuard test results when the Company considered the collection of such consideration to be probable to the extent that it is unconstrained. ***Cost of revenue*** Cost of revenues recognized from the delivery of patient EsoGuard test results includes costs related to EsoCheck device usage, shipment of test collection kits, royalties and the cost of services to process tests and provide results to physicians. We incur expenses for tests in the period in which the activities occur, therefore, gross margin as a percentage of revenue may vary from quarter to quarter due to costs being incurred in one period that relate to revenues recognized in a later period. We expect that the gross margin for our services will continue to fluctuate and be affected by EsoGuard test volume, our operating efficiencies, patient compliance rates, payer mix, the levels of reimbursement, and payment patterns of payers and patients. ***Sales and marketing expenses*** Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for employees engaged in sales, sales support and marketing activities, as well as the portion of the MSA Fee (as defined in Note 5, *Related Party Transactions*, to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements) allocated to sales and marketing expenses, which are principally costs related to PAVmed employees who are performing services for the Company. We anticipate our sales and marketing expenses will increase in the future, to the extent we expand our commercial sales and marketing operations as resources permit and insurance reimbursement coverage for our EsoGuard test expands. ***General and administrative expenses*** General and administrative expenses consist primarily of professional fees for accounting, tax, audit and legal services (including those fees incurred as a result of our being a public company), consulting fees, employees costs involved in third-party payor reimbursement, expenses associated with obtaining and maintaining patents within our intellectual property portfolio, and certain employee costs, along with the portion of the MSA Fee allocated to general and administrative expenses. We anticipate our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future to the extent our business operations grow. Furthermore, we anticipate continued expenses related to being a public company, including fees and expenses for audit, legal, regulatory, tax-related services, insurance premiums and investor relations costs associated with maintaining compliance as a public company. ***Research and development expenses*** Research and development expenses are recognized in the period they are incurred and consist principally of internal and external expenses incurred for the development of our technologies and conducting clinical trials, including: - costs associated with submission of regulatory filings; - cost of laboratory supplies and acquiring, developing, and manufacturing preclinical prototypes; and - the portion of the MSA Fee allocated to research and development. We plan to incur research and development expenses for the foreseeable future as we continue the development of our existing products as well as new innovations. Our research and development activities, including our clinical trials, are focused principally on facilitating insurer reimbursement, encouraging physician adoption and developing product improvements or extending the utility of the lead products in our pipeline, including EsoCheck and EsoGuard. ***Other Income and Expense, net*** Other income and expense, net, consists principally of changes in fair value of our convertible note and losses on extinguishment of debt upon repayment of such convertible note. ***Presentation of Dollar Amounts*** All dollar amounts in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are presented as dollars in millions, except for share and per share amounts. 24 **Results of Operations** - continued ***The three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024*** ***Revenue*** In the three months ended September 30, 2025, revenue remained relatively level at $1.2 million as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. ***Cost of revenue*** In the three months ended September 30, 2025, the cost of revenue remained relatively level at approximately $1.7 million, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. ***Sales and marketing expenses*** In the three months ended September 30, 2025, sales and marketing costs were approximately $4.3 million as compared to $4.1 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The net increase of $0.2 million was principally related to an increase in third-party professional services and consulting costs. ***General and administrative expenses*** In the three months ended September 30, 2025, general and administrative costs were approximately $5.6 million as compared to $5.4 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The net increase of $0.2 million was principally related to: - approximately $0.6 million increase related to third-party professional fees, primarily due to financing related costs; - approximately $0.2 million decrease in compensation costs; and - approximately $0.2 million decrease in professional services and consulting costs. ***Research and development expenses*** In the three months ended September 30, 2025, research and development costs were approximately $1.3 million, compared to $1.7 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The net decrease of $0.4 million was principally related to a decrease in development costs, particularly in clinical trial activities and outside professional and consulting fees. ***Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets*** In the three months ended September 30, 2025, the amortization of acquired intangible assets remained relatively level at approximately $0.1 million, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. ***Other Income and Expense*** *Change in fair value of convertible debt* In the three months ended September 30, 2025, the sequential decrease in the fair value of our convertible notes of approximately $2.3 million is reflected as other income in the Statement of Operations, (see Note 10, *Debt*, to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). The 2024 Convertible Notes were initially measured at the issue-date estimated fair value and are subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value as of each reporting period end date. 25 **Results of Operations** - continued ***The three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to three months ended September 30, 2024*** - continued *Loss on Debt Extinguishment* The Company did not incur debt extinguishment loss in the three months ended September 30, 2025. In the three months ended September 30, 2024, a debt extinguishment loss in the aggregate of approximately $0.4 million was recognized in connection with our March 2023 Senior Convertible Note as discussed below. * - * In the three months ended September 30, 2024, approximately $1.1 million of principal repayments along with approximately $0.2 million of interest expense thereon, were settled through the issuance of 2,116,717 shares of common stock of the Company, with such shares having a fair value of approximately $1.8 million (with such fair value measured as the quoted closing price of the common stock of the Company on the respective conversion date). The conversions resulted in a debt extinguishment loss of $0.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. See Note 10*, Debt*, to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, for additional information with respect to the 2024 Convertible Notes. ***The nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to nine months ended September 30, 2024*** ***Revenue*** In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, revenue was $3.2 million, as compared to $3.1 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The $0.1 million increase principally relates to the increase in the consideration received for the performance of the EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Tests. ***Cost of revenue*** In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the cost of revenue was approximately $4.8 million as compared to $5.0 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The net decrease of $0.2 million was principally related to: - approximately $0.4 million decrease in the manufacturing costs associated with the EsoCheck devices and EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Tests; and - approximately $0.2 million increase in compensation related costs. ***Sales and marketing expenses*** In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, sales and marketing costs were approximately $12.4 million as compared to $12.5 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The net decrease of $0.1 million was principally related to: - approximately $0.4 million increase in third-party professional services and consulting costs; - approximately $0.3 million decrease in stock-based compensation; and - approximately $0.2 million decrease related to third-party facility related expense. ***General and administrative expenses*** In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, general and administrative costs were approximately $17.4 million as compared to $14.3 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The net increase of $3.1 million was principally related to: - approximately $2.2 million increase related to third-party professional fees, primarily due to financing related costs; and - approximately $0.9 million increase related to the amended MSA with PAVmed due to the growth and expansion of our business and the services incurred through PAVmed. ***Research and development expenses*** In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, research and development costs were approximately $4.0 million, compared to $4.5 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The net decrease of $0.5 million was principally related to: - approximately $0.7 million decrease in development costs, particularly in clinical trial activities; - approximately $0.3 million increase related to the amended MSA with PAVmed due to the growth and expansion of our business and the services incurred through PAVmed; - approximately $0.1 million decrease in stock-based compensation. 26 **Results of Operations** - continued ***The nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to nine months ended September 30, 2024*** - continued ***Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets*** The amortization of acquired intangible assets was approximately $0.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $0.6 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The decrease of $0.3 million in the current period was due to certain acquired intangible assets being fully amortized in February 2024. ***Other Income and Expense*** *Change in fair value of convertible debt* In the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the change in the fair value of our convertible note was approximately $5.3 million of expense and $0.6 million of income, respectively, related to the 2024 Convertible Notes and the March 2023 Senior Convertible Note (as defined in Note 10*, Debt*, to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). The 2024 Convertible Notes and March 2023 Senior Convertible Note were initially measured at their respective issue date estimated fair value and subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value as of each reporting period date. *Loss on Debt Extinguishment* The Company did not incur debt extinguishment loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a debt extinguishment loss in the aggregate of approximately $1.1 million was recognized in connection with our March 2023 Senior Convertible Note as discussed below. - In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, approximately $2.4 million of principal repayments along with approximately $0.8 million of interest expense thereon, were settled through the issuance of 4,777,898 shares of common stock of the Company, with such shares having a fair value of approximately $4.3 million (with such fair value measured as the quoted closing price of the common stock of the Company on the respective conversion date). The conversions resulted in a debt extinguishment loss of $1.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. See Note 10*, Debt*, to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, for additional information with respect to the 2024 Convertible Notes. *Deemed Dividend on Series A and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock Exchange Offer* The fair value of the consideration given in the form of the issue of 31,790 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, with such fair value recognized as the carrying value of such issued shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as compared to the carrying value of the extinguished Series A and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (carrying value of $24.3 million), resulting in an excess of fair value of $7.5 million recognized as a deemed dividend charged to accumulated deficit in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet on March 13, 2024, with such deemed dividend included as a component of net loss attributable to common stockholders, summarized as follows: | Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Issuance and Series A/A-1 Exchange Offer ($ in thousands) | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 | | --- | --- | | Fair Value - 31,790 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued in exchange for Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock | $31,790 | | Less: Carrying value related to Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock Exchanged for Series B Preferred Stock (of 24,295 shares) | (24,294) | | Deemed Dividend Charged to Accumulated Deficit | $7,496 | 27 **Liquidity and Capital Resources** Our current operational activities are principally focused on the commercialization of EsoGuard. We are pursuing commercialization across multiple sales channels, including: the communication to and education of medical practitioners and clinicians regarding EsoGuard; the establishment of Lucid Test Centers for the collection of cell samples using EsoCheck; use of our mobile testing unit; ongoing #CheckYourFoodTube testing days; and our direct contracting strategic initiative (including in the concierge medicine and employer markets sectors). Additionally, we are developing expanded clinical evidence to support insurance reimbursement adoption by government and private insurers. Further, as resources permit, the Company also intends to pursue development of other products and services. Our ability to generate revenue depends upon our ability to successfully advance the commercialization of EsoGuard, including significantly expanding insurance reimbursement coverage. There are no assurances, however, we will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources required for the long-term commercialization and development of our products and services. We are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties typically faced by medical device and diagnostic companies that devote substantially all of their efforts to the commercialization of their initial products and services. We experienced a net loss of approximately $41.7 million and used approximately $33.9 million of cash in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Financing activities provided $59.0 million of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We ended the quarter with cash on-hand of $47.3 million as of September 30, 2025. We expect to continue to experience recurring losses and negative cash flow from operations, and will continue to fund our operations with debt and/or equity financing transactions, which in accordance with management’s plans may include conversions of our existing debt to equity and refinancing our existing debt obligations to extend the maturity date. The Company’s ability to continue operations 12 months beyond the issuance of the financial statements will depend upon generating substantial revenue that is conditioned on obtaining positive third-party reimbursement coverage for its EsoGuard Esophageal DNA Test from both government and private health insurance providers, increasing revenue through contracting directly with self-insured employers, and upon raising additional capital through various potential sources including equity and/or debt financings or refinancing existing debt obligations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. *March 2025 Registered Direct Offering* On March 5, 2025, the Company closed on the sale of 13,939,330 shares of its common stock at a price of $1.10 per share (the “Offering”). The net proceeds of the Offering, after deducting the estimated placement agent’s fees and other expenses of $0.4 million, was approximately $14.9 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes. *April 2025 Confidentially Marketed Public Offering* On April 11, 2025, the Company closed on the sale of 14,375,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $1.20 per share (the “April 2025 Offering”). The net proceeds of the April 2025 Offering, after deducting the estimated placement agent’s fees and other expenses of $1.1 million, was approximately $16.2 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the April 2025 Offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes. *September 2025 Confidentially Marketed Public Offering* On September 11, 2025, the Company closed on the sale of 28,750,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $1.00 per share (the “September 2025 Offering”). The net proceeds of the September 2025 Offering, after deducting the estimated placement agent’s fees and other expenses of $1.8 million, was approximately $27.0 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the September 2025 Offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes. *ATM Facility* On May 30, 2025, the Company entered into an “at-the-market offering” (“ATM”) for up to $25.0 million of its common stock that may be offered and sold under a Controlled Equity Offering Agreement between the Company and Maxim Group LLC. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold 215,421 shares through its at-the-market equity facility for net proceeds of approximately $0.3 million, after payment of 3% commissions. *Debt Financing* On November 22, 2024, the Company closed on the sale of $21.975 million in principal amount of 2024 Convertible Notes. Each 2024 Convertible Note has a 12.0% annual stated interest rate, a contractual maturity date of five years from the date of issuance, and a contractual conversion price of $1.00 per share of the Company’s common stock (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances). Under the 2024 Convertible Notes, the Company is subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including certain financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2025. See Note 10, *Debt*, for more information. *Management Fee Obligation* The Company’s daily operations are also managed in part by personnel employed by PAVmed, for which the Company incurs the MSA Fee. The MSA Fee is charged on a monthly basis and is subject to periodic adjustment corresponding with changes in the services provided by PAVmed personnel to the Company. Currently, the MSA Fee is $1.05 million per month. See Note 5, *Related Party Transactions*, for more information. 28 **Critical Accounting Estimates** The 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reporting in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgements. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be appropriate under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting estimates are as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on March 24, 2025. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. **Item 4. Controls and Procedures** **Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures** Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of such date to provide reasonable assurance the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports 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 information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. **Changes to Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting** There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 29 **Part II - Other Information** **Item 1. Legal Proceedings** In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, particularly as it begins commercialization of its products, the Company may be subject to certain other legal actions and claims, including product liability, consumer, commercial, tax and governmental matters, which may arise from time to time. The Company is not aware of any such pending legal or other proceedings that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company. Notwithstanding, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and an unfavorable outcome could include monetary damages, and excessive verdicts can result from litigation, and as such, could result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and /or cash flows. Additionally, although the Company has specific insurance for certain potential risks, the Company may in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims which may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, and /or cash flows. **Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds** On July 8, 2025, pursuant to the previously disclosed terms of the 2024 Convertible Notes, the Company issued 64,346 shares of the Company’s common stock in payment of interest to one of the holders thereof. On September 3, 2025, pursuant to the previously disclosed terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company issued 116,523 shares of the Company’s common stock upon conversion of 145 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock by the holder thereof. On September 25, 2025, the Company approved the issuance of 12,500 shares of the Company’s common stock to an investor relations firm it had engaged, in consideration of services to be rendered thereby. Such issuances were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as transactions not involving public offerings. Except as disclosed above and as previously disclosed in our current and periodic reports filed prior to the date of this Form 10-Q, we did not sell any unregistered securities or repurchase any of our securities during the three months ended September 30, 2025. As long as the 2024 Convertible Notes are outstanding, we may not, directly or indirectly, redeem, or declare or pay any cash dividend or cash distribution on, any of our securities without the prior express written consent of a majority-in-interest of the holders of the 2024 Convertible Notes (subject to limited exceptions). Furthermore, our common stock is junior to our preferred stock with respect to certain in-kind dividends payable to the holders of such preferred stock. **Item 5. Other Information** During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act) adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as those terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K). **Item 6.
