VYCOR MEDICAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Vycor Medical, Inc. (the "Company" or "Vycor") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Commission. In accordance with those rules and regulations certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 derives from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.
Ability to continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since its inception, including a net loss of $40,646for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and has not generated sufficient positive cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2024 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $3,663,740which includes related party liabilities of $3,146,542. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company is executing on a plan to achieve a reduction in cash operating losses. Included within the working capital deficiency above is a term note for $300,000to EuroAmerican Investment Corp. ("EuroAmerican"), together with accrued interest of $496,833, which has a maturity date of March 31, 2025, having been extended on a number of occasions from its initial due date of June 11, 2011. At this time, it is not known whether any further extension of the note beyond March 31, 2025 will be available. However, the Company believes it may not have sufficient cash to meet its various cash needs through August 31, 2025 unless the Company is able to obtain additional cash from the issuance of debt or equity securities. Fountainhead, the Company's largest shareholder, has provided working capital funding to the Company on an as-needed basis, although there is no guarantee that this will continue to be the case. The Company may consider seeking additional equity or debt funding, although there is no assurance that this would be available on acceptable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may have to delay or curtail development or commercialization of products, or cease some of its operations.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vycor Medical, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NovaVision, Inc. (a Delaware corporation), NovaVision GmbH (a German corporation) and Sight Science Limited (a UK corporation), both wholly owned subsidiaries of NovaVision, Inc. The Company is headquartered in Boca Raton, FL. All material inter-company account balances, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. Following the decision in April 2020 to close the German office of NovaVision, the activities of NovaVision GmbH have been accounted for as discontinued operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time-to-time new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company's accounting and reporting. The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 in November 2023, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The ASU is designed to improve reportable segment disclosures. Management has assessed the ASU and has concluded that it does not have an impact on its accounting or reporting, as the additional disclosure effects items that are not applied at a segment level. The Company believes that other recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows when implemented.
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted, ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (new revenue standard) to all contracts.
Vycor Medical generates revenue from the sale of its surgical access system to hospitals and other medical professionals. Vycor Medical records revenue from product sales when obligations under the terms of a contract with customers are satisfied. Generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the goods to customers. Vycor Medical does not provide for product returns or warranty costs.
Vycor determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
| ● | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer | |
| ● | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract | |
| ● | Determination of the transaction price | |
| ● | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract | |
| ● | Recognition of revenue when Vycor satisfy a performance obligation |
NovaVision generates revenues from various programs, therapy services and other sources such as software license sales. Therapy services revenues represent fees from NovaVision's vision restoration therapy software, eye movement training software, diagnostic software, clinic set up and training fees, and the professional and support services associated with the therapy. NovaVision provides vision restoration therapy directly to patients. The typical therapy program consists of NeuroEyeCoach, performed over 2-4 weeks, and six modules of Vision Restoration Therapy, performed over 6 months. A patient contract comprises set-up fees and monthly therapy fees. Set-up fees are recognized at the outset of the contract and therapy revenue is recognized ratably over the therapy period. Patient therapy is restricted to being completed by a patient within a specified time frame.
Deferred revenue results from patients paying for the therapy in advance of receiving the therapy.
The Company disaggregates its revenue by division - Vycor and NovaVision - and by geography - United States and Europe - and presents the disaggregation in Note 7.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of incremental shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock and convertible debt. Such potentially dilutive shares are excluded when the effect would be to increase a net income per share or reduce a net loss per share. No dilution adjustment has been made to the weighted average outstanding common shares in the periods presented of net loss because the assumed conversion of preferred stock and debt would be anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the potential shares of common stock that are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share where a net loss is reported:

This assessment is for the 2010 fiscal year and relates to the Company's acquisition of the assets of the former NovaVision, Inc. An initial assessment for corporate tax for the same period was preliminarily reduced to zero. The Company did not accept this trade tax assessment and appealed against it to the relevant tax authorities with a view to its reduction. The relevant tax authorities agreed to suspend the assessment pending the outcome of certain court hearings and proposed tax legislation, and the Company agreed to make monthly payments on account totaling €75,000(approximately $82,000) which were completed in October 2016 and fully expensed. At that time the Company appealed against the interest charge of €12,000(approximately $13,200) which the tax authorities did not accept but also agreed to suspend pending the outcome of the hearings and proposed legislation outlined above. Accordingly, the Company has made no provision for this liability as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively.

2. Overview of Business

Both businesses adopt a minimally or non-invasive approach. The Company leverages joint resources across the divisions to operate in a cost-efficient manner.
The Company periodically engages in discussions with potential strategic partners for or purchasers of each or both of our operating divisions. In April 2020, the board of Vycor took the decision to close the German operations of NovaVision, including the German office and NovaVision GmbH, and instead migrate to a licensed business model, entering into a license agreement with a local German partner. Under the agreement, the partner is licensed to provide NovaVision's products and therapies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland to patients and professionals. The NovaVision German office was closed effective June 30, 2020.

For Vycor Medical this plan includes: increasing market penetration in the US; increasing international growth in territories where we are not represented or under-represented and continued new product development in response to market demands and demonstrating applicability in a broader range of pathologies. In the US the Company is focused on increasing market penetration through targeting neurosurgeons systematically, both through its distribution and marketing network and also directly by leveraging existing key opinion leader ("KOL") neurosurgeon VBAS supporters to access new neurosurgeon users.
The Company has for some time been working to better integrate its VBAS with neuronavigation. The first phase of the modification of the existing VBAS product range was completed in September 2017 and was well received by surgeons. The second phase involved the introduction of an optional Alignment Clip accessory that snaps onto the VBAS and allows for a neuronavigation pointer to be fully integrated into the body of the VBAS; this new model range, known as the VBAS AC, was launched in September 2022, with the international roll-out being largely complete by the end of 2023. The Company will continue to work with neuronavigation companies to seek ways to further integrate the VBAS with neuronavigation and with other companies with complementary technologies used in neurosurgery. We will also be exploring with neurosurgeons and focus groups additional selected development work targeted at increasing the ease and applicability of our products to additional common procedures.
For NovaVision, given the company's resources, and the large size and diversity of its end markets, we believe that the most efficient way to tackle the distribution of its broad range of patient and professional products is by partnering with entities in selected geographies that have either direct access to the end users or a desire and financial wherewithal to leverage the NovaVision therapy platform, including into new areas. As a result, the Company closed the NovaVision German office and entered into a license agreement with a local German for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Management is also open to a broad range of alternatives for NovaVision as a whole, which could comprise distribution and marketing partnerships, licensing, merger or sale.

The adjustments to reconcile net loss to cash of $38,530 in the period have no impact on liquidity. The negative change in net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash items of $113,223 was primarily due a decrease in sales. The change in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $85,918 between the 2024 and 2023 periods was partly due to the settlement of expenses during the 2023 period that were incurred during the final quarter of 2022 and a timing increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the 2024 period.
Additional inventory of $41,247 was purchased during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as part of normal production, and the Company anticipates purchasing additional new inventory of approximately $100,000 during the next twelve months for VBAS devices.
Investing Activities. There was no cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company anticipates limited investing activities during the next twelve months.

Liquidity and Plan of Operations, Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since its inception, including a net loss of $40,646 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and has not generated sufficient positive cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2024 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $3,663,740, which includes related party liabilities of $3,146,542. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As described earlier in this ITEM 1 "Strategy", the Company is executing on a plan to achieve a reduction in cash operating losses, and generated cash operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Included within the working capital deficiency above is a term note for $300,000 to EuroAmerican Investment Corp. ("EuroAmerican"), together with accrued interest of $496,833, which has a maturity date of March 31, 2025, having been extended on a number of occasions from its initial due date of June 11, 2011. At this time, it is not known whether any further extension of the note beyond March 31, 2025 will be available. However, the Company believes it may not have sufficient cash to meet its various cash needs through August 31, 2025 unless the Company is able to obtain additional cash from the issuance of debt or equity securities. Fountainhead, the Company's largest shareholder, has provided working capital funding to the Company on an as-needed basis, although there is no guarantee that this will continue to be the case. The Company may consider seeking additional equity or debt funding, although there is no assurance that this would be available on acceptable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may have to delay or curtail development or commercialization of products or cease some of its operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Uses of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimated. To the extent management's estimates prove to be incorrect, financial results for future periods may be adversely affected. Significant estimates and assumptions contained in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include management's estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, provision for inventory obsolescence, useful life of intangible assets, and the fair values of options and warrant included in the determination of debt discounts and stock-based compensation.
A detailed description of our significant accounting policies can be found in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer (also our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
| 22 |
The Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and our Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), have evaluated the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and our CFO have concluded that a material weakness occurred as of April 1, 2021 with the resignation of the independent members of the Company's Audit Committee as of that date. Effective that date, our disclosure and controls were no longer effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports its files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its CEO and its CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The matter involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were a lack of a functioning audit committee with independent members, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures. This weakness occurred as of April 1, 2021 due to the resignation of the independent members of the Audit Committee from the Board of Directors effective as of April 1, 2021.
Management believes that the material weakness set forth did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls
There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
The Company's management, including the Company's CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company's internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
