Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

(amounts are as indicated)

1. Formation and Business of the Company

Tivic Health Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of California on September 22, 2016 for the purpose of developing and commercializing non-invasive bioelectronic medicine. In June 2021, the Company was reincorporated as a Delaware corporation. The Company’s first commercial platform is a handheld design that interfaces non-invasively with the trigeminal, sympathetic, and other facial and cranial nerve structures. This platform is the basis for the Company’s existing product, currently marketed with FDA approval as ClearUP Sinus Pain Relief, for the treatment of sinus pain and congestion. The Company's second platform is a research-stage platform directed to vagus nerve stimulation, which is currently undergoing clinical evaluation. The Company is headquartered in Fremont, California.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed financial statements as of September 30, 2024, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all accounting entries and adjustments (including normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods have been made. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

Going Concern Uncertainty

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $4.2 million and $6.0 million, respectively. At September 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $42.1 million. Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2024 were $2.2 million. During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had negative cash flows from operations of $4.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

Future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including, without limitation, progress with developing, manufacturing and marketing our technologies; the time and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other proprietary rights; our ability to establish collaborative arrangements; completion of any acquisitions or other strategic transactions; marketing activities and competing technological and market developments, including regulatory changes and overall economic conditions in our target markets. Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability requires us to successfully market and secure purchase orders for our products and services from existing as well as new customers. We also will be required to efficiently manufacture and deliver on those purchase orders. These activities, including our planned research and development efforts, may require significant uses of working capital. There can be no assurance that we will generate revenue and cash as expected in our current business plan.

The Company recognizes it will need to raise additional capital to continue research and development and to fund its planned operations, clinical trials and, if regulatory approval is obtained, commercialization of future products. We may seek additional funds through equity or debt offerings and/or borrowings under notes payable, lines of credit or other sources. We do not know whether additional financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, or at all, when needed. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on commercially acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, support the growth of our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures could be significantly delayed or limited, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial conditions, or results of operations.

Reverse Stock Split

In August 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, which was effected on August 23, 2023. There was no change to the par value, or authorized shares, of either the common stock or preferred stock, as a result of the reverse stock split. Fractional shares were not issued, and instead, the Company issued one whole share of the post reverse split common stock to any stockholder who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split. Consequently, 84 shares of common stock were issued in lieu of fractional shares. In addition, all options, warrants and other convertible securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the reverse stock split were adjusted by dividing the number of shares of common stock into which such options, warrants and other convertible securities were exercisable or convertible by 100 and multiplying the exercise or conversion price thereof by 100, all in accordance with the terms of the plans, agreements or arrangements governing such options, warrants and other convertible securities and subject to rounding pursuant to such terms. All share and per share amounts for the common stock, as well as the stock options, and warrants outstanding and exercise prices thereof, included in the financial statements and these footnotes thereto have been retroactively restated to give effect to the reverse stock split.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents totaled $2.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for credit losses and returns reserves. The allowance for credit losses is based on our assessment of the collectability of accounts. Management regularly reviews the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses by considering the age of each outstanding invoice, each customer’s expected ability to pay, and the collection history with each customer, when applicable, to determine whether a specific allowance is appropriate. Accounts receivable deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance for credit losses when identified. As of each September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses balance was zero.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Inventories are reviewed periodically to identify slow-moving inventory based on anticipated sales activity. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the reserve for obsolescence was zero and $32 thousand, respectively.

Deferred Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 340-10-S99-1. The Company capitalizes incremental legal, professional, accounting, and other third-party fees that are directly associated with an equity or debt offering as other current assets. As of September 30, 2024 the balance of deferred offering costs is $112 thousand and consists of legal and accounting fees paid in connection with the filing of Form 1-A in August 2024 and the Equity Distribution Agreement discussed further in Footnote 9 Common Stock below. If the Company consummates an equity offering, the deferred financing costs will be allocated to additional paid-in capital. If the Company consummates a debt offering, the deferred financing costs will be recorded as a discount to the debt. The costs relating to the Equity Distribution Agreement are reclassified to additional paid in capital on a pro-rata basis when the Company completes offerings under the Equity Distribution Agreement.

Table of Contents

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, three to four years. Upon retirement or sale of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Repairs and maintenance costs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to operations as incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate over its remaining life. When indications of impairment are present and the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets is less than the assets’ carrying value, the related assets will be written down to fair value. There were no impairments of the Company’s long-lived assets for the periods presented.

Commitments and Contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). The standard applies to all contracts with customers, except contracts that are within scope of other standards, such as leases, insurance, collaboration arrangements and financial instruments.

Under Topic 606, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are in within the scope of Topic 606, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inceptions, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company sells its products through direct sales and resellers. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to the customers or the resellers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. Revenue associated with products holding rights of return are recognized when the Company concludes there is not a risk of significant revenue reversal in the future periods for the expected consideration in the transaction.

The Company may receive payments at the onset of the contract and before goods have been delivered. In such instances, the Company records a deferred revenue liability. The Company recognizes these contract liabilities as revenue after the revenue criteria are met. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the contract liability related to the Company’s deferred revenues approximated $4 thousand and $8 thousand, respectively, and is included in “Other Accrued Expenses” on the accompanying balance sheets.

The Company relies on third parties to have procedures in place to detect and prevent credit card fraud, as the Company has exposure to losses from fraudulent charges. The Company records the losses related to chargebacks as incurred.

The Company has also elected to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price sales taxes remitted to governmental authorities.

The table below presents revenue by channel for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

Table of Contents


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
Product Revenue by Sales Channel	2024			2023			2024			2023
Product Revenue
Direct-to-consumer	$	130		$	205		$	557		$	679

Returns		(20	)		(37	)		(67	)		(83	)
Revenue	$	126		$	282		$	600		$	819

Sales Tax

Sales tax collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities is accounted for on a net basis and therefore, is excluded from net sales.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling fees paid by customers are recorded in revenue, with the related expenses recorded in cost of sales. There were no shipping and handling fees paid by customers for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Shipping costs for delivery of product to customers in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $5 thousand and $28 thousand, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $13 thousand and $35 thousand, respectively.

Product Warranty

The Company generally offers a one-year limited warranty on its products. The Company estimates the costs associated with the warranty obligation using historical data of warranty claims and costs incurred to satisfy those claims. Estimated warranty costs are expensed to cost of sales.

Returns

The Company estimates a reserve for future product returns based on several factors, including historical returns as a percentage of revenue, an understanding of the reasons for past returns and any other known factors that indicate a return is imminent. Reserves for sales returns are estimated and recorded in the same period as the underlying revenue recognition as a deduction to arrive at net product sales and as a liability classified as “Other Accrued Expenses” on the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the reserve for sales returns was $10 thousand and $52 thousand, respectively.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of merchandising, customer service and targeted online marketing costs, such as display advertising, keyword search campaigns, search engine optimization and social media and offline marketing costs such as television, radio and print advertising. Sales and marketing expenses also include payroll costs and stock-based compensation expense for employees involved in marketing activities. Sales and marketing expenses are primarily related to growing the customer base.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, including the cost of salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, materials, supplies, depreciation on and maintenance of research equipment, the cost of services provided by outside contractors, and the allocable portions of facility costs, such as rent, utilities, insurance, repairs and maintenance, depreciation, and general support services. All costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements with employees and non-employee consultants using a fair value method, which requires the recognition of compensation expense for costs related to all stock-based payments, including stock options.

Table of Contents

The fair value method requires the Company to estimate the fair value of stock-based payment awards to employees and non-employees on the date of grant using an option pricing model.

Stock-based compensation costs are based on the fair value of the underlying option calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. The Company measures equity-based compensation awards granted to non-employees at fair value as the awards vest and recognizes the resulting value as compensation expense at each financial reporting period.

Determining the appropriate fair value model and related assumptions requires judgment, including estimating stock price volatility, expected dividend yield, expected term, risk-free rate of return, and the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock. Due to the lack of company-specific historical and implied volatility data, the Company has based its estimate of expected volatility on the historical volatility of a group of similar companies that are publicly traded. The historical volatility is calculated based on a period of time commensurate with the expected term assumption. The group of representative companies have characteristics similar to the Company, including stage of product development and focus on the life science industry. Changes to the group are made on an as needed basis to ensure it remains representative of the Company. The Company uses the simplified method, which is the average of the final vesting tranche date and the contractual term, to calculate the expected term for options granted to employees as it does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected term of the stock options. The Company uses an assumed dividend yield of zero as the Company has never paid dividends and has no current plans to pay any dividends on its common stock. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

Net Loss per Common Share

The Company computes net loss per share of common stock in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed similar to basic net loss per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares for the potential dilutive effects of warrants, convertible preferred stock and stock options outstanding during the period calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, or the two-class method, whichever is more dilutive. For all periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per share is the same, as inclusion of any additional share equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents include a checking account and a money market account held at one national financial institution in the United States. At times, such deposits may be in excess of insured limits. Management believes that the financial institution at which the Company holds its deposits is financially sound, and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to the financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. As of each September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents balances exceeding FDIC insured limits by $1.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

The Company extends credit to customers in the normal course of business and performs credit evaluations of its customers. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable exist to the full extent of amounts presented in the financial statements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the majority, or 82%, of the Company’s sales have been to individual customers. In 2023, the majority, or 75%, of the Company’s sales were to individual consumers. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had no reseller customers whose accounts receivable balance totaled more than 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable compared with one such customer at December 31, 2023 (81%).

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had one customer who individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue (13%) compared to one customer for the three months ended September 30, 2023, (40%).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had one customer who individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue (10%) compared to one customer for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (25%).

The lingering negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine as well as Israel and Hamas, certain other macroeconomic factors including inflation, and rising interest rates, have contributed to economic uncertainty. Additionally, events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. Furthermore, it is possible that U.S. policy changes,

Table of Contents

including changes and uncertainty as a result of the upcoming U.S. presidential election, could increase market volatility in the coming months. These factors, amongst other things, could result in further economic uncertainty and volatility in the capital markets in the near term, and could negatively affect our operations. We will continue to monitor material impacts on our business strategies and operating results.

Cash equivalents – Cash equivalents of $2.1 million as of September 30, 2024 and $3.2 million as of December 31, 2023, consisted of money market funds. Money market funds are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets.

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

There have been no changes to the valuation methodologies utilized by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company evaluates transfers between levels at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers of financial instruments between levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease

The Company executed a noncancelable operating lease for approximately 9,091 square feet of office space in Hayward, California in November 2021 as its headquarters. The lease was set to expire in October 2025. The Company was obligated to pay, on a pro-rata basis, real estate taxes and operating costs related to the premises. Upon lease execution, the Company evaluated the lease and determined it should be capitalized as an operating lease. As there was no interest rate implicit in the lease, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate at 6% based on the rate available under its revolving credit line, as well as an assessment of the Company’s risk based on its financial position at the time and its potential to obtain a collateralized loan for a period similar to the lease term. The lease was terminated effective May 31, 2024. The Company incurred termination fees of $77 thousand, which were partially offset by a remaining security deposit of $16 thousand. The Company recorded a loss of $60 thousand in connection with the lease termination, which is included in other expense in the statement of operations.

Lease costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were zero and $84 thousand, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $50 thousand and $151 thousand, respectively.

Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities were zero and $87 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, which is included in operating activities in the statement of operations. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities were $51 thousand and $154 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, which is included in operating activities in the statement of operations.

11. Equity Incentive Plans

In 2017, the Company adopted its 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”).

On November 10, 2021, the 2017 Plan terminated and was replaced by the 2021 Plan (defined below), and future issuances of incentive instruments will be governed by the 2021 Plan. To the extent that outstanding awards under the 2017 Plan are forfeited or lapse unexercised, the shares of common stock subject to such awards will no longer be available for future issuance.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

In 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). Options granted under the 2021 Plan may be Incentive Stock Options or Non-statutory Stock Options, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s board of directors, who is responsible for administering the 2021 Plan. Stock Purchase Rights may also be granted under the 2021 Plan. The term shall be no more than ten years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an optionee who, at the time the option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the option shall be five years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the option Agreement. To the extent outstanding awards under the 2021 Plan are forfeited or lapse unexercised, the shares of common stock subject to such awards will be available for future issuance under the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan provides that additional shares will automatically be added to the shares authorized for issuance under the 2021 Plan on January 1 of each year. The number of shares added each year will be equal to the lesser of: (i) 5.0% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on December 31st of the preceding calendar year or (ii) such number of shares determined by the board of directors, in its discretion. On January 1, 2023, 4,839 shares were automatically added to the number of shares authorized for issuance under 2021 Plan (an increase equal to 5% of the number of the outstanding shares of Company common stock as of December 31, 2022). On January 1, 2024, 73,304 shares were automatically added to the number of shares authorized for issuance under 2021 Plan (an increase equal to 5% of the number of the outstanding shares of Company common stock as of December 31, 2023).

Amended and Restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan

On August 9, 2024, the Company adopted its Amended and Restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “A&R 2021 Plan”), which amends and restates the 2021 Plan in full to, amongst other things, increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance thereunder from 92,376 shares to 1,000,000 shares. The Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the adoption of the A&R 2021 Plan, subject to stockholder approval, on June 15, 2024, and the Company’s stockholders approved the A&R 2021 Plan at the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on August 9, 2024.

In the case of an incentive stock option (i) granted to an employee who, at the time of grant of such option, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant; (ii) granted to any other employee, the per share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. In the case of a non-statutory stock option (i) granted to an employee who, at the time of grant of such option, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant; (ii) granted to any other service provider, the per share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, options may be granted with a per

Table of Contents

share exercise price other than as required above pursuant to a merger or other corporate transaction.

The options may include provisions permitting exercise of the option prior to full vesting. Any unvested shares upon termination shall be subject to repurchase by the Company at the original exercise price of the option.

As of September 30, 2024, there were 928,412 shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan.

Stock options granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans generally vest over four years from the date of grant.

Business Overview

Tivic Health is a health tech company focused on bioelectronic medicine. Bioelectronic medicine is a branch of the global neuromodulation market that treats disease and conditions by modulating the electrical signals carried along various nerve pathways. The field grew out of the neuromodulation industry which relied, historically, on implantable devices (e.g., pacemakers, spinal implants, deep brain stimulators). IDTechEx has identified several fast-growing areas in the bioelectronic medicine field, including peripheral nerve stimulation, which it has indicated is forecasted to grow at a 35% CAGR from 2019 through 2029. Tivic currently has two non-invasive bioelectronic platforms designed to deliver therapeutic benefits via manipulation of such signals without the use of traditional implanted technology.

Commercial Platforms

Tivic has developed two complementary platforms. Tivic’s first commercial platform is a handheld design that interfaces non-invasively with the trigeminal, sympathetic, and other facial and cranial nerve structures. This platform is the basis for Tivic’s existing product, currently marketed with FDA approval as ClearUP Sinus Pain Relief for the treatment of sinus pain and congestion.

The second platform is a clincal-stage platform directed to vagus nerve stimulation. .

First Commercial Product

Tivic Health currently markets one commercial product under the brand name “ClearUP Sinus Pain Relief.” ClearUP is built on our patented, handheld neuromodulation design and was developed by Tivic Health for the treatment of sinus and allergy-related conditions. It uses ultra-low current electrical waves to relieve sinus pain and congestion symptoms that are prevalent in nasal allergies, sinus infections, chronic sinusitus, cold and flu and other disease conditions. ClearUP had U.S. FDA approval for the treatment of sinus pain and congestion, and is the first FDA-approved bioelectronic treatment of the foregoing indications. Additionally, ClearUP has E.U. CE Mark approval for the treatment of sinus pain, pressure and congestion.

The FDA initially provided clearance to our ClearUP product under a 510(k) as an allergy treatment in January 2019. The FDA granted ClearUP a subsequent De Novo clearance in March 2021, which expanded ClearUP’s label, enabling marketing of ClearUP for allergies, sinusitis, cold, flu, and any inflammatory condition involving congestion.

A 2023 study with over 2,000 representative consumers conducted by Intellego Insights (commissioned by Tivic Health) identified that approximately 85 million U.S. adults experience inflammation-related symptoms related to allergies, congestion, head pain, and sinus issues. Of the consumers that participated in the study, 58% of sufferers try to avoid medication, if at all possible.

Customers can purchase ClearUP products directly from Tivic via our own website and through major online stores, including Amazon, Walmart, BestBuy, FSAStore and HSA Store. The Company has also entered distribution agreements with McKesson, Cardinal Health and Cencora (previously Amerisource Bergen).

Business Updates

VNS Clinical Research

On May 8, 2024, we announced the final results of our pilot research study with The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health (“Feinstein”). Through this collaboration, we have confirmed the effectiveness of our patent-pending non-invasive

Table of Contents

cervical vagus nerve stimulation (“ncVNS”) approach, which induces responses in the autonomic, cardiac, and central nervous systems and can be expected to have clinical utility in several major disease areas.

•

Compared to baseline measurement, our ncVNS intervention resulted in a 97% increase in the root mean square of successive differences (“RMSSD”) measure of heart rate variability, which is a widely accepted proxy for vagus nerve activity.

•

Measurements of brain activity using EEG demonstrated that our ncVNS intervention increased frontal theta power by 24% and reduced gamma power in several brain regions, including a 66% reduction in frontal gamma power. These changes in brain activity are consistent with reduced arousal and anxiety.

•

During ncVNS stimulation, subjects had sustained pupil constriction, a 9.5% reduction in pupil diameter, an outcome associated with activation of the parasympathetic nervous system.

The magnitude of our ncVNS data imply potential for greater clinical effects and enhanced reproducibilit than demontrated by previous studies of non-invasive VNS devices. These results in healthy subjects suggest our ncVNS approach may have clinical utility in several patient populations including those with post-traumatic stress disorder, cardiac disease, inflammatory conditions, and ischemic stroke, among others.

On May 17, 2024, we entered into a Collaboration and Research Support Agreement with The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research to further optimize responses in Autonomic Nervous System (“ANS”) function in response to Tivic's ncVNS. Total length of the project is expected to be one year. The study, being run by The Feinstein Institute of Bioelectronic Medicine, will identify device parameters, including frequency and duration of treatment, that optimally influence ANS function.

On September 18, 2024, we announced approval for the contracted clinical work by Northwell Health's Institutional Review Board, required before enrollment of subjects.

On October 29, 2024, we announced enrollment of the first subject in this optimization study for our patent pending, non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation device. The results will be used to inform clinical indication priority and commercial development. Enrollment is expected to be complete by early December.

VNS Commercial Strategy

On September 17, 2024, we announced our partnership with Fletcher Spaght, Inc ("FSI"), a leading healthcare growth strategy firm, to accelerate development of our commercial strategy for ncVNS. The firm has begun a comprehensive market assessment of our ncVNS technology drawing from clinical outcomes from our Phase 1 trial. FSI and Tivic initially identified approximately 30 potential medical use cases for our ncVNS technology in neurologic, cardiac, psychiatric and autonomic nervous system diseases. FSI is now working closely with our scientific and clinical leadership to identify the strongest market entry points by interviewing clinical key opinion leaders and payers The work with FSI will help us sharpen our go-to-market strategy, clinical study plans, reimbursement pathway, and product development pipeline for our vagus nerve stimulation program.

Postoperative Pain Clinical Research

On August 13, 2024, Tivic received the final report from an investigator-led double-blind study funded by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai on the use of microcurrent as an alternative for the treatment of pain following functional endoscopic sinus surgery, rhinoplasty and other forms of sino-nasal surgeries. No statistically significant differences were identified between users of the active microcurrent device and sham device. Given the relatively small market size and lack of definitive indicators of clinical utility, the Company currently has no plans to fund additional research in this area, prioritizing, instead, its work on vagus nerve stimulation.

Lease Termination

On May 21, 2024, we entered into a Sublease Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Czarnowski Display Service, Inc. (“CDS”), pursuant to which we terminated that certain Sublease Agreement, by and between the Company and CDS, dated as of November 17, 2021 (the “Sublease”), effective as of May 31, 2024 (the “Termination Date”). Prior to the Termination Date, we leased approximately 9,091 square feet of office space located at 25821 Industrial Boulevard, Suite 100, Hayward, California (the “Premises”) under the Sublease, which served as our principal place of business.

Table of Contents

In exchange for the early termination of the Sublease pursuant to the Termination Agreement, we made a one-time termination payment to CDS in the amount of $44,480.44. Additionally, in connection with the termination, we agreed to pay (i) all commissions owned to any broker in connection with the sublease of the Premises by CDS to the new sublessee, and (ii) any fees or expenses charged by the owner of the Premises in connection with its review of the new sublease agreement with the new sublessee.

We expect that the termination of the Sublease will result in a reduction of approximately $200 thousand in lease expense over the next year and a half.

New Principal Place of Business

On May 30, 2024, we entered into a Co-Working Space Agreement, pursuant to which we rent office space located at 47685 Lakeview Blvd., Fremont, California, which will serve as our principal place of business, for a total $1 thousand a month. The agreement has an initial term of six months, commencing June 1, 2024, after which it will automatically renew on a month to month basis until terminated.

ALOM Agreement Termination

Effective August 1, 2024, we terminated the Fulfillment Services Agreement with ALOM Technologies Corporation (“ALOM”) in furtherance of our efforts to continue to reduce both direct and indirect costs associated with product manufacturing and distribution of our ClearUp device. ALOM provided assembly, procurement, storage, returns, and fulfillment services to the our end customers and retailers within the United States. We are now utilizing third-party logistics and storage services from alternate suppliers without material minimums and have established in-house assembly and testing capabilities. We completed the transition with no disruptions to service and foresees current capacity will be sufficient to meet demand for the foreseeable future.

September 2024 Equity Distribution Agreement

On September 13, 2024 we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") with Maxim Group LLC, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, through or to Maxim, as sales agent or principal, shares of our common stock. We will pay Maxim a commission of 3% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of shares. We also agreed to reimburse Maxim for certain specified fees and expenses of up to $40 thousand, plus an additional $5 thousand for each bringdown. The agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of $10 million; (ii) twenty four months from the date of the agreement; (iii) the mutual termination of the agreement upon fifteen days' prior written notice; and (iv) as otherwise permitted therein. In September 2024, we sold a total of 59,811 shares of our common stock with gross proceeds of $18 thousand. The Company paid Maxim $545 in commissions. Net proceeds to the Company, after deducting commissions and offering expenses paid by the Company, was approximately $15 thousand.

Appointment of Lisa Wolf as interim Chief Financial Officer

Effective October 1, 2024, Lisa Wolf has been appointed as the Company’s new interim Chief Financial Officer and Principal Financial and Principal Accounting Officer. Ms. Wolf has been retained to provide such services as a non-employee consultant of the Company. Ms. Wolf has played a key role in supporting the Company’s accounting and Securities and Exchange Commission reporting functions on an out-sourced basis since June 2022, when she joined Murdock Martell as Vice President.

Resignation of Kimberly Bambach as interim Chief Financial Officer

On September 12, 2024, Kimberly Bambach tendered her resignation from her role as interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective October 1, 2024. Ms. Bambach will continue to provide services to the Company in an advisory role after the effective date of her resignation. Ms. Bambach has advised the Company that her decision to step down from the role of interim Chief Financial Officer was not based on any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.

Nasdaq Compliance

On June 28, 2024, we received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that, because the closing bid price for our common stock was below $1.00 per share for 33 consecutive business days, we are not currently in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The notification had no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and, therefore, our listing remains fully effective.

Table of Contents

In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have a period of 180 calendar days from June 27, 2024, or until December 26, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time before December 26, 2024, the closing bid price of our common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that we have achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and the matter would be resolved. If we do not regain compliance during the compliance period ending on December 26, 2024, then Nasdaq may grant us a second 180 calendar day grace period to regain compliance, provided we (i) meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly-held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, other than the minimum closing bid price requirement, and (ii) we notify Nasdaq of our intent to cure the deficiency.

We intend to continue actively monitoring the closing bid price for our common stock between now and December 26, 2024, and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If we do not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period, including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that our common stock will be subject to delisting. We would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that we will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the 180 day compliance period, secure a second period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance, or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.

Amended and Restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan

On August 9, 2024, we adopted the Amended and Restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “A&R 2021 Plan”), which amends and restates our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan in full to, amongst other things, increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance thereunder from 92,376 shares to 1,000,000 shares. The Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the adoption of the A&R 2021 Plan, subject to stockholder approval, on June 15, 2024, and the Company’s stockholders approved the A&R 2021 Plan at the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on August 9, 2024.

Operational Updates

In the first nine months of 2024, we invested in our product, innovation and development as follows:

•

We announced completion of enrollment in its clinical study with The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, Northwell Health, testing a proprietary approach to non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation, for which we publicly announced the final data analysis results on May 8, 2024.

•

In Q2, we engaged The Feinstein Institute for additional clinical work to optimize our ability to trigger responses of the automatic nervous system with non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation. This Phase 1a optimization study will refine stimulation parameters of interest for specific disease conditions.

•

In Q3, we received IRB approval and announced first subject enrollment in Q4.

•

In Q3, we engaged Fletcher Spaght, Inc to perform a market assessment of our ncVNS technology drawing from clinical outcomes from the clinical study.

•

Revenue

Revenue is currently generated through the sale of our ClearUP device and ancillary products, including accessories and accelerated shipping charges, and is net of return reserves. Sales are currently made directly to consumers online through our own website, and Amazon. In addition, the ClearUP device is also sold via our distribution partners Cardinal Health and McKesson to major retailers and specialty retailers, such as FSA Store, Walmart, BestBuy, and Target. Noninvasive bioelectronic medicine is an emerging market space that provides consumers with non-drug treatments for various diseases and ClearUP is the first FDA-approved bioelectronic treatment for sinus pain and congestion.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, revenue decreased overall by $156 thousand, or 56%, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to a 55% decrease in the number of units sold.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue decreased overall by $219 thousand, or 27%, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to a 36% decrease in unit sales, offset by a 13% increase in the per unit average sales price.

We expect some continued variability in sales due to reduction in marketing spend.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists primarily of the materials and services to manufacture our products, the internal personnel costs to oversee manufacturing and supply chain functions, and the shipment of goods to customers. Cost of sales is expected to vary on an absolute basis as sales volume increases or decreases.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, cost of sales decreased by $92 thousand, or 53%, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily driven by the decrease in unit sales. We incurred $21 thousand of disposal costs associated with our move to a new logistics provider in August 2024. We expect reduced product support and fulfillment charges in the future with the new provider. Excluding the $21 thousand disposal charge in the third quarter of 2024, variable cost was $45 thousand, or $60.68 per unit, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $120 thousand, or $73.57 per unit, for the same period in 2023. Fixed costs were $16 thousand, or $21.41 per unit, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $54 thousand, or $33.05 per unit, for the same period in 2023. The decrease in the fixed cost was primarily due to lower product support costs.

Table of Contents

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cost of sales decreased by $178 thousand, or 34%, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily driven by the decrease in sales volume, offset by $21 thousand of disposal costs and $20 thousand of inventory obsolescence write-offs. Variable cost, excluding the disposal costs and inventory write-offs, was $229 thousand, or $68.86 per unit, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $364 thousand, or $70.09 per unit, for the same period in 2023. Fixed costs were $88 thousand, or $26.47 per unit, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $173 thousand, or $33.37 per unit, for the same period in 2023. The decrease in the fixed cost was primarily due to lower product support costs.

Gross Margin

Gross margin has been and will continue to be affected by, and is likely to fluctuate on a quarterly basis due to, a variety of factors, including sales volumes, product and channel mix, pricing strategies, costs of finished goods, reserves for obsolescence, disposal costs of returned and/or obsolete inventory, product return rates, new product launches and potential new manufacturing partners and suppliers.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred to conduct research, including the discovery, development and validation of product candidates. Research and development expenses include personnel costs, including stock-based compensation expense, third-party contractor services, including development and testing of prototype devices, and maintenance of limited in-house research facilities. We expense research and development costs as they are incurred. We expect research and development expenses to increase with the discovery and validation of new product candidates.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, research and development expenses increased by $85 thousand compared to the same period in 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, research and development expenses decreased by $315 thousand compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in the three month period was due to increased costs associated with research related to vagus nerve stimulation. The decrease for the nine month period was due to reduced headcount and certain expenses incurred in 2023 which did not recur in 2024. The emphasis of research and development activities in both 2023 and 2024 are primarily related to studies at The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research on vagus nerve stimulation and intellectual property protection.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses include personnel costs and expenses for advertising and other marketing services. Personnel costs consist of salaries, bonuses, benefits and stock-based compensation expense. We may see sales and marketing expenses increase modestly if we continue to expand our markets and distribution channels.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, sales and marketing expenses decreased by $246 thousand compared to the same period in 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, sales and marketing expenses decreased by $444 thousand compared to the same period in 2023. The decreases were due to reduced headcount and consulting fees as well as reductions in agency, website and other costs.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include D&O insurance, personnel costs, expenses for outside professional services and other expenses. Personnel costs consist of salaries, bonuses, benefits and stock-based compensation expense. Outside professional services consist of legal, finance, accounting and audit services, and other consulting fees. We expect general and administrative expenses to remain relatively flat.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses decreased by $232 thousand compared to the same period in 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.2 million compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease for the three month period was primarily due to reduced headcount and elimination of the lease expenses due to the change in our headquarters in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease for the nine month period was attributable to reduced headcount, reduced lease expenses, lower consulting and professional fee expenses, as well as other general administrative expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Since our formation in September 2016, we have devoted substantially all of our efforts to research and development, to regulatory clearance and to market development and testing for our first product, released in September 2019 in the United States. We are not profitable and have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from our operations in each year since our inception. As of September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2.2 million, working capital of $2.6 million and an accumulated deficit of $42.1 million. We have financed our operations to date primarily through issuances of SAFE instruments, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock and the proceeds from registered offerings of our securities. In 2021, we completed our IPO, generating net proceeds to the Company of approximately $14.9 million, and we borrowed $2.6 million by issuing convertible notes payable, the outstanding balance of all of which converted into shares of our common stock in connection with our IPO. On February 13, 2023, we completed the sale of 200,000 shares of our common stock in a firm commitment, fully underwritten registered public offering, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $3.6 million. From July 11, 2023 to August 9, 2023, we sold an aggregate of 1,169,230 shares of our common stock to certain investors in a series of registered public offerings, resulting in aggregate net proceeds to the Company of approximately $4.3 million. Additionally, in May 2024, we sold an aggregate of 4,710,000 shares of our common stock, together with Series A warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,710,000 shares of common stock and Series B warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,065,000 shares of common stock, to certain investors in a registered public offering, resulting in net proceeds to the company of approximately $3.3 million. On September 13, 2024, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”), with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, through or to Maxim, as sales agent or principal, up to $10,000,000 in shares of our common stock, subject to our then current “baby shelf” limitation under General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3. To date, however, we have only used the ATM Agreement for $18 thousand in gross proceeds.

Although we have taken measures to decrease our operating expenses, we expect that our operating expenses may increase significantly as we discover, acquire, validate and develop additional product candidates; seek regulatory approval and, if approved, proceed to commercialization of new products; obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property portfolio; and hire additional personnel when needed. Furthermore, we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs associated with operating as a public company. Management expects to incur substantial additional operating losses for the foreseeable future to expand our markets, complete development or acquisition of new product lines, obtain regulatory approvals, launch and commercialize our products and continue research and development programs. Based on the Company’s current cash levels and burn rate, amongst other things, the Company believes its cash and financial resources may be insufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated needs for the twelve months following the date of issuance of the financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, included elsewhere in this Report, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the issuance date of the financial statements.

Plan of Operation and Future Funding Requirements

We have used our capital resources primarily, to date, to fund marketing and advertising for ClearUP, development of both our trigeminal and our vagus nerve platforms and product candidates, evaluating and diligencing potential licensing and acquisition candidates, and the establishment of public company operating infrastructure and general operations. Although we have taken measures to decrease our operating expenses, we expect that our operating expenses will increase as we advance our vagus nerve platform, as well as discover, acquire, validate or develop additional product candidates; seek regulatory approval and, if approved, proceed to commercialization of new products; obtain, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property portfolio; hire additional personnel when needed; and maintain compliance with material government (in addition to environmental) regulations. We plan to increase our research and development investments in our vagus nerve platform and clinical applications thereof in 2024.

Furthermore, we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs associated with operating as a public company. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. At this time, due to the inherently unpredictable nature of research and new product adoption as well as other macroeconomic factors, we cannot reasonably estimate the costs we will incur and the timelines that will be required to complete development, obtain marketing approval and commercialize future product candidates, if at all. For the same reasons, we are also unable to predict how quickly we will generate significant revenue from ClearUP product sales or whether, or when, if ever, we may achieve profitability from the sales of one or more products. Clinical and preclinical development timelines, the probability of success, and costs can differ materially from expectations. In addition, we cannot forecast which product candidates may be best developed and/or monetized through future collaborations, when such arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements.

In addition to the foregoing, we may, from time to time, consider opportunities for strategic acquisitions or other strategic transactions that we believe will align with our growth plan, complement our product offerings and be in the best interest of the Company and our

Table of Contents

shareholders. If an acquisition or other strategic transaction is identified and pursued, a substantial portion of our cash reserves may be required to complete such acquisition or other strategic transaction. If we identify an attractive acquisition that would require more cash to complete than we are willing or able to use from our cash reserves, we will consider financing options to complete the acquisition, including through equity and/or debt financings.

We have generated operating losses in each period since inception. We have incurred an accumulated deficit of $42.1 million through September 30, 2024. We expect to incur additional losses in the future as we expand both our research and development activities. Based on our current cash levels and burn rate, amongst other things, we believe our cash and financial resources may be insufficient to meet our anticipated needs for the next twelve months. As a result, we expect that we will need to raise additional capital to continue operating our business and fund our planned operations, including research and development, clinical trials and, if regulatory approval is obtained, commercialization of future product candidates.

We currently generate sales revenue direct-to-consumer though our own websites, Amazon.com and Walmart.com. We also sell to major and specialty U.S. online retailers such as BestBuy and FSAStore and through distributors including McKesson’s affiliate Simply Medical, Cardinal Health and Cencora (formerly known as Amerisource Bergen). Our ability to grow sales revenue will depend on successfully executing a comprehensive marketing campaign to drive additional sales through existing and new channels. Long-term growth will be commensurate with our ability to successfully identify, develop, and secure regulatory approval of one or more additional product candidates beyond ClearUP. Until such time as we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through private or public equity or debt financings, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate, foundation or government funding sources, or through other sources of financing. We do not know whether additional financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, or at all, when needed. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on commercially acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, support the growth of our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures could be significantly delayed or limited, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial conditions or results of operations, and we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization of our products and/or future product candidates.

The timing and amount of our operating expenditures will depend largely on:

•

our ability to raise additional capital if and when necessary and on terms favorable to the Company;

•

the timing and progress of sales initiatives driving top-line revenue;

•

the availability of electronic parts and other components for our products, as well as our ability to source such parts and components at favorable prices;

•

the timing and adoption rate of ClearUP line extensions at lower cost of goods;

•

the payment terms and timing of commercial contracts entered into for manufacturing and sales of our products to and through online third-party retailers;

•

the timing and progress of preclinical and clinical development activities;

•

the number and scope of preclinical and clinical programs we decide to pursue;

•

the timing and amount of milestone payments we may receive under any future collaboration agreements;

•

whether we close potential future strategic acquisition opportunities, and if we do, our ability to successfully integrate acquired assets and/or businesses with our own;

•

our ability to source new business opportunities through licenses and research and development programs and to establish new collaboration arrangements;

•

the costs involved in prosecuting and enforcing patent and other intellectual property claims;

•

the cost and timing of additional regulatory approvals beyond those currently held by us;

•

our efforts to enhance operational systems and hire additional personnel, including personnel to support finance, sales, marketing, operations and development of our product candidates and satisfy our obligations as a public company; and

•

our efforts to maintain compliance with material government (including environmental) regulations.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, we expect to fund our operations and capital funding needs through equity and/or debt financings. We may also consider entering into collaboration arrangements or selectively partnering with third parties for clinical development and commercialization. The sale of additional equity would result in additional dilution to

Table of Contents

our stockholders. The incurrence of additional debt would result in debt service obligations, and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations or our ability to incur additional indebtedness or pay dividends, among other items. If we raise additional funds through governmental funding, collaborations, strategic partnerships and alliances or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are not able to secure adequate additional funding, we may be forced to make reductions in spending, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, and/or suspend or curtail planned programs. Any of these actions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the period indicated (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
	2024			2023
	(unaudited)			(unaudited)
Cash used in operating activities	$	(4,360	)	$	(6,737	)
Cash used in investing activities		—			(118	)
Cash provided by financing activities		3,154			8,507
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(1,206	)	$	1,652

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $4.4 million, which consisted primarily of a net loss of $4.2 million, decreased by non-cash charges of $266 thousand and increased by a net decrease of $448 thousand in our net operating assets and liabilities. The non-cash charges primarily consisted of stock-based compensation of $166 thousand and amortization of right-of-use assets of $76 thousand. The change in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $648 thousand, a decrease in accounts receivable of $160 thousand, a decrease in prepaid and other current assets of $93 thousand, and a decrease of $96 thousand in lease liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $6.7 million, which consisted primarily of a net loss of $6.0 million, decreased by non-cash charges of $348 thousand and a net decrease of $1.1 million in our net operating assets and liabilities. The non-cash charges primarily consisted of stock-based compensation of $213 thousand and amortization of right-of-use assets of $129 thousand. The change in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $869 thousand and a decrease of $115 thousand in lease liabilities.

Investing Activities

There was no cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was related to the purchases of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

Our financing activities provided $3.2 million of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which consisted primarily of proceeds from the sale of 4,710,000 shares of our common stock and Common Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,775,000 shares of common stock in May 2024, net of offering discounts and other costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our financing activities provided $8.5 million of cash, which consisted primarily of proceeds from the sale of 1,369,230 shares of our common stock, net of offering discounts and other costs.

Known Trends or Uncertainties

As discussed elsewhere in this Report, the world has continued to be been affected by the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine as well as Israel and Hamas, economic uncertainty in human capital management (“HCM”) and certain other macroeconomic factors. Inflation has risen, Federal Reserve interest rates have increased over the last year, and the general consensus among economists continues to suggest that we should expect a higher recession risk to continue for the near term. Climate change continues to be an intense topic of public discussion and is adding additional challenges and financial burden due to impending preparations and changes in the customer mindset. Additionally, it is possible that U.S. policy changes, including changes

Table of Contents

and uncertainty as a result of the upcoming U.S. presidential election, could increase market volatility. These factors, amongst other things, could result in further economic uncertainty and volatility in the capital markets in the near term, and could negatively affect our operations. Effects of the pandemic and recent economic volatility have negatively impacted our business in various ways over the last three years, including as a result of global supply chain constraints at least partially attributable to the pandemic. We will continue to monitor material impacts on our HCM strategies, including potential of employee attrition, amongst other things.

Global supply chain shortages (especially when coupled with the increase in inflation and other economic factors) could result in an increase in the cost of the components used in our products, which could result in a decrease of our gross margins or in us having to increase the price at which we sell our products until supply chain constraints are resolved. Additionally, in the event that the price of our components increases significantly or we are unable to source sufficient components and materials from our current suppliers, or to develop relationships with additional suppliers, to manufacture enough of our products to satisfy demand, we may have to cease or slow down production and our business operations and financial condition may be materially harmed and we may need to alter our plan of operation.

The United States has implemented tariffs on certain imported goods, including on certain items imported from China. In addition, China has imposed tariffs on a wide range of American products and placed restrictions on the export of certain items, including gallium and germanium, in retaliation for these American tariffs. As a result, there is a concern that the imposition of additional tariffs by the United States could result in the adoption of additional tariffs or export restrictions by China and/or other countries. Any resulting trade war could negatively impact our business. The imposition of tariffs on items imported by us from China or other countries could increase our costs and could result in lowering our gross margin on products sold.

Additionally, U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the ongoing military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and between Israel and Hamas. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflicts is highly unpredictable, the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as further supply chain interruptions. Additionally, the recent military conflict in Ukraine has led to sanctions and other penalties being levied by the United States, European Union and other countries against Russia. Additional potential sanctions and penalties have also been proposed and/or threatened. Russian military actions and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets, potentially making it more difficult for us to obtain additional funds.

Although our business has not been materially impacted by the ongoing military conflict between Russian and Ukraine or the conflict between Israel and Hamas to date, it is impossible to predict the extent to which our operations, or those of our suppliers and manufacturers, will be impacted in the short and long term, or the ways in which the conflict may impact our business. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial. We are continuing to monitor the situations in Ukraine, the Middle East and globally to assess potential impacts on our business.

As a result of these global issues and other macroeconomic factors, it has been difficult to accurately forecast our revenues or financial results, especially given the near and long term impact of the pandemic, geopolitical issues, inflation, the Federal Reserve maintaining high interest rates, the potential for a recession and recent uncertainties stemming from the upcoming election. In addition, while the potential impact and duration of these issues on the economy and our business may be difficult to assess or predict, these world events have resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, and may reduce our ability to access additional capital, which could negatively affect our liquidity in the future. Our results of operations could be materially below our forecasts as well, which could adversely affect our results of operations, disappoint analysts and investors, or cause our stock price to decline. Furthermore, a decrease in orders in a given period could negatively affect our revenues in future periods.

These global issues and events may also have the effect of heightening many risks associated with our customers and supply chain. We may take further actions that alter our operations as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities from time to time, or which we determine are in our best interests. In addition, we may decide to postpone or abandon planned investments in our business in response to changes in our business, which may impact our ability to attract and retain customers and our rate of innovation, either of which could harm our business.

Inflation

Inflation has increased recently and future rates are unknown. Inflationary factors, such as increases in the cost of our products (and components thereof), interest rates, overhead costs and transportation costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, we may experience some effect in the near future (especially if inflation rates continue to rise) due to supply chain constraints, consequences associated with the

Table of Contents

ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas, employee availability and wage increases, trade tariffs imposed on certain products from China and increased component and services pricing.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Office Lease

The Company previously entered into a noncancelable operating lease for approximately 9,091 square feet of office space in Hayward, California as its headquarters. The lease was set to expire in October 2025 and there was no option to renew for an additional term. The Company was obligated to pay, on a pro-rata basis, real estate taxes and operating costs related to the premises. The lease was terminated on May 31, 2024 and the Company has no further obligations with regard to the lease.

On May 30, 2024, we entered into a Co-Working Space Agreement, pursuant to which we rent office space located at 47685 Lakeview Blvd., Fremont, California for a total $1 thousand a month. The agreement has an initial term of six months, commencing June 1, 2024, after which it will automatically renew on a month to month basis until terminated.

Lease costs recorded during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $84 thousand and $151 thousand, respectively.

Purchase Commitments

We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with our contract manufacturer and other vendors to assist in the manufacturing of our products and performance of our research and development activities and other services for operating purposes. These contracts generally provide for termination for convenience after expiration of an advance notice period ranging from 0 to 60 days, and therefore are cancelable contracts and not included in the table of contractual obligations and commitments. Except as set discussed elsewhere in this Report, there have been no material changes to our previously disclosed business strategy with respect to our contractual obligations as disclosed under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Contractual Obligations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the condensed financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to sales return reserves, stock-based compensation, and going concern. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors, including the macro-economic factors, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The methods, estimates, and judgments used by us in applying these critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our significant accounting policies and estimates are included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 25, 2024.

Information regarding our significant accounting policies and estimates can also be found in Note 2 to our condensed financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that such information 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.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and our interim Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a 15(e) and 15d 15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”), have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer, where appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our interim Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, litigation or claims, nor are aware of any pending, threatened, or unasserted claims, which, if determined adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We may from time to time, be a party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Please carefully consider the information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”). The risks described in our Annual Report, as well as other risks and uncertainties, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the trading price of shares of our common stock. The occurrence of any of the risks discussed in such filings, or other events that we do not currently anticipate or that we currently deem immaterial, could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Except as set forth below, there have been no material updates or changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report; provided, however, additional risks not currently known or currently material to us may also harm our business.

If our stock price continues to remain below $1.00, our common stock may be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market, which would materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and have an adverse effect on our market price.

On June 28, 2024, we received a notification from Nasdaq that we are not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of our common stock has been below $1.00 per share for 33 consecutive business days. The notification had no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock, which will continue to trade at this time on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “TIVC.”

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have a period of 180 calendar days from June 27, 2024, or until December 26, 2024, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days during this 180 calendar day period. In the event we do not regain compliance by December 26, 2024, we may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period if we meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares ($1 million) and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price, and we provide written notice to Nasdaq of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If we do not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), Nasdaq will provide notice that our common stock will be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. Additionally, if the closing bid price of our common stock is $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days, Nasdaq will provide notice that our common stock will be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. In the event we receive a delisting notice, we may appeal such delisting determination to a hearings panel.

We are currently evaluating our alternatives to resolve the listing deficiency. To the extent that we are unable to resolve the listing deficiency, there is a risk that our common stock may be delisted from Nasdaq, which would adversely impact liquidity of our common stock, potentially result in even lower bid prices for our common stock, and make it more difficult for us to obtain financing through the sale of our common stock.

If we elect to implement a reverse stock split to regain compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirements, such reverse stock split could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

In the event that we are unable to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) through other methods, we may be required to implement a reverse stock split in order to do so. There are a number of risks associated with implementing a reverse stock split, including, without limitation:

•

The market price per share of our common stock post-reverse stock split may not remain in excess of the $1.00 minimum bid price per share, as required by Nasdaq, or we may fail to meet the other requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq, including the minimum value of listed securities, resulting in the delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market;

Table of Contents

•

the reverse stock split may not result in a price per share that will successfully attract certain types of investors, and such resulting share price may not satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or investment funds;

•

the trading liquidity of the shares of our common stock may not improve, or may decline, as a result of the reverse stock split and there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split, if completed, would result in the intended benefits;
