GUIDED THERAPEUTICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly SpectRx, Inc.), together with its wholly owned subsidiary, InterScan, Inc. (formerly Guided Therapeutics, Inc.), collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, is a medical technology company focused on developing innovative medical devices that have the potential to improve healthcare. The Company’s primary focus is the continued commercialization of its LuViva non-invasive cervical cancer detection device and extension of its cancer detection technology into other cancers, including esophageal. The Company’s technology, including products in research and development, primarily relates to biophotonics technology for the non-invasive detection of cancers.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The December 31, 2022 balances reported herein are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 have been included.

The Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by entrants into the medical device industry. This industry is characterized by an increasing number of participants, intense competition and a high failure rate. The Company has experienced net losses since its inception and, as of September 30, 2023, it had an accumulated deficit of approximately $150.6 million. To date, the Company has engaged primarily in research and development efforts and the early stages of marketing its products. The Company may not be successful in growing sales for its products. Moreover, required regulatory clearances or approvals may not be obtained in a timely manner, or at all. The Company’s products may not ever gain market acceptance and the Company may not ever generate significant revenues or achieve profitability. The development and commercialization of the Company’s products requires substantial development, regulatory, sales and marketing, manufacturing and other expenditures. The Company expects operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future as it continues to expend substantial resources to complete development of its products, obtain regulatory clearances or approvals, build its marketing, sales, manufacturing and finance capabilities, and conduct further research and development.

The Company is not organized into multiple operating segments for the purpose of making operating decisions or assessing performance. Accordingly, the Company operates in one reportable operating segment. The Company’s principal decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer. Management believes that its business operates as one reportable segment because: a) the Company measures profit and loss as a whole; b) the principal decision maker does not review information based on any operating segment; c) the Company does not maintain discrete financial information on any specific segment; d) the Company has not chosen to organize its business around different products and services, and e) the Company has not chosen to organize its business around geographic areas.

Table of Contents

Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming it will continue as a going concern. The factors below raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.

At September 30, 2023, the Company had a negative working capital of approximately $3.3 million, accumulated deficit of $150.6 million, and incurred a net loss including preferred and deemed dividends of $3.3 million for the nine months then ended. Stockholders’ deficit totaled approximately $3.7 million at September 30, 2023, primarily due to recurring net losses from operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company raised $195 thousand from warrant exercises. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company raised $3.2 million from the sale of common stock and warrants (net of expenses), and $532 thousand from warrant exercises. The Company will need to continue to raise capital in order to provide funding for its operations and FDA approval process. If sufficient capital cannot be raised, the Company will continue its plans of curtailing operations by reducing discretionary spending and staffing levels and attempting to operate by only pursuing activities for which it has external financial support. However, there can be no assurance that such external financial support will be sufficient to maintain even limited operations or that the Company will be able to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all. In such a case, the Company might be required to enter into unfavorable agreements or, if that is not possible, be unable to continue operations, and to the extent practicable, liquidate and/or file for bankruptcy protection.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas where estimates are used include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation and input variables for Black-Scholes and binomial option pricing models. The Company uses the binomial option pricing model for the calculation of the fair value of freestanding warrants with market conditions.

Accounting Standard Updates

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under consideration by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, management has not yet determined the effect, if any, that the implementation of such proposed standards would have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be a cash equivalent.

Accounts Receivable

The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions and generally does not require collateral. The Company reviews all outstanding accounts receivable for collectability on a quarterly basis. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for any amounts deemed uncollectable. Uncollectibility is determined based on the determination that a customer will not be able to make payment and the time frame has exceeded one year. The Company does not accrue interest receivables on past due accounts receivable.

Table of Contents

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company maintains a cash balance in a financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain federal limitations. At times, the Company’s cash balance exceeds these federal limitations. The amount in excess of insured limitations was approximately $482,776 and $2,064,772 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Inventory Valuation

All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined substantially on a “first-in, first-out” basis. Selling, general, and administrative expenses are not inventoried, but are charged to expense when incurred. Inventories consisted of the following as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

	(in thousands)
	September 30,			December 31,
	2023			2022

Raw materials	$	1,364		$	1,260
Work-in-progress		58			68
Finished goods		44			38
Inventory reserve		(818	)		(818	)

Total inventory	$	648		$	548

The company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Depreciation and amortization expense are included in general and administrative expense on the statement of operations. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment consisted of the following as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

	(in thousands)
	September 30,			December 31,
	2023			2022

Equipment	$	1,083		$	1,083
Software		656			656
Furniture and fixtures		41			41
Leasehold improvements		12			12

Subtotal		1,792			1,792
Less accumulated depreciation		(1,757	)		(1,750	)
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements, net	$	35		$	42

Depreciation expense related to property and equipment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $2,316 and $6,947, respectively. Depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was not material.

Table of Contents

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the associated debt. Debt issuance costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability consistent with the debt discount.

Patent Costs (Principally Legal Fees)

Costs incurred in filing, prosecuting, and maintaining patents are recurring, and expensed as incurred. Maintaining patents are expensed as incurred as the Company has not yet received U.S. FDA approval and recovery of these costs is uncertain. Such costs were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Leases

A lease provides the lessee the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

Where an operating lease contains extension options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, the extension period is included in the calculation of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

The discount rate used to determine the commencement date present value of lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease, or when that is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its secured borrowing rate. Right-of-use assets include any lease payments required to be made prior to commencement and exclude lease incentives. Both right-of-use assets and lease liabilities exclude variable payments not based on an index or rate, which are treated as period costs. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain significant residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants. See Note 7 – “Commitments and Contingencies.”

Accrued Liabilities

Accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are summarized as follows:

	(in thousands)
	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022

Total	$	807	$	1,247

Stock Subscription Payable

Cash received from investors for shares of common stock that have not yet been issued is recorded as a liability, which is presented within Accrued Liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Revenue Recognition

ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, establishes a single and comprehensive framework which sets out how much revenue is to be recognized, and when. The core principle is that a vendor should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the vendor expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue will now be recognized by a vendor when control over the goods or services is transferred to the customer. The application of the core principle in ASC 606 is carried out in five steps:

	·	Step 1 – Identify the contract with a customer: a contract is defined as an agreement (including oral and implied), between two or more parties, that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for each of those rights and obligations. The contract needs to have commercial substance and it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled.

	·	Step 2 – Identify the performance obligations in the contract: a performance obligation in a contract is a promise (including implicit) to transfer a good or service to the customer. Each performance obligation should be capable of being distinct and is separately identifiable in the contract.

	·	Step 3 – Determine the transaction price: transaction price is the amount of consideration that the entity can be entitled to, in exchange for transferring the promised goods and services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

	·	Step 4 – Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: for a contract that has more than one performance obligation, the entity will allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation separately, in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. The acceptable methods of allocating the transaction price include adjusted market assessment approach, expected cost plus a margin approach, and the residual approach in limited circumstances. Discounts given should be allocated proportionately to all performance obligations unless certain criteria are met and reallocation of changes in standalone selling prices after inception is not permitted.

	·	Step 5 – Recognize revenue as and when the entity satisfies a performance obligation: the entity should recognize revenue at a point in time, except if it meets any of the three criteria, which will require recognition of revenue over time: the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the entity’s performance as the entity performs, and the entity does not create an asset that has an alternative use to the entity and the entity has the right to be paid for performance to date.

The Company did not recognize material revenues during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 or 2022. The Company’s revenues do not require significant estimates or judgments. The Company is not party to contracts that include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration.

Contract Balances

The Company defers payments received as revenue until earned based on the related contracts and applying ASC 606 as required. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, deferred revenue was approximately $450,516 and $509,101, respectively.

Table of Contents

Significant Customers

As of September 30, 2023, accounts receivable outstanding was approximately $8,942, the outstanding amount was netted against a $1,500 allowance, leaving a balance of $7,442 which was from two customers. As of December 31, 2022, accounts receivable outstanding was $54,484; the outstanding amount was netted against a $48,172 allowance, leaving a balance of $6,312, which was from one customer.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist of expenditures for research conducted by the Company and payments made under contracts with consultants or other outside parties and costs associated with internal and contracted clinical trials. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expense are expected to be settled in our income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

At September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $65.6 million of net operating losses carryforward available. This net operating loss will be eligible to be carried forward for tax purposes at federal and applicable states level. A full valuation allowance has been recorded for the deferred tax assets generated from the net operating losses.

The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions based on a benefit recognition model. Provided that the tax position is deemed more likely than not of being sustained, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being ultimately realized upon settlement. The tax position is derecognized when it is no longer more likely than not of being sustained. The Company classifies income tax related interest and penalties as interest expense and selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations.

Warrants

The Company has issued warrants, which allow the warrant holder to purchase one share of stock at a specified price for a specified period of time. The Company records equity instruments including warrants based on the fair value at the date of issue. The fair value of warrants classified as equity instruments at the date of issuance is estimated using the Black-Scholes or binomial option pricing models.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based awards in accordance with ASC Subtopic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires fair value measurement on the grant date and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors. The Company determines the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes model. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based upon the quoted market price of the shares of common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of stock-based awards is expensed over the requisite service periods of the awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of certain assumptions that require the Company’s judgment, including the expected term and the expected stock price volatility of the underlying stock. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change resulting in the use of different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

Table of Contents

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $221,143 of expense related to stock options, $92,699 of expense for stock issued to consultants and executives and $1,546,089 of expense for warrants issued to consultants and executives. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, accrued expense for the shares of common stock due but unissued to Richard Blumberg, a related party, totaled $83,366 and $166,667, respectively. See Note 7 to our financial statements for additional information.

Derivatives

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt issued to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense.

3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The guidance for fair value measurements, ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes the authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and outlines the required disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell 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 at the measurement date. The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs as follow:

	·	Level 1–Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
	·	Level 2–Inputs, other than level 1 inputs, either directly or indirectly observable; and
	·	Level 3–Unobservable inputs developed using internal estimates and assumptions (there is little or no market date) which reflect those that market participants would use.

The Company records its derivative activities at fair value. There was no movement of instruments between fair value hierarchy tiers during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022. Derivative liabilities measured on a recurring basis were not material as of September 30, 2023. The following tables present the fair value of derivative liabilities measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022:

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

The board designated 9,000 shares of preferred stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). Pursuant to the Series C certificate of designations, shares of Series C Preferred Stock are convertible into common stock by their holder at any time and may be mandatorily convertible upon the achievement of specified average trading prices for the Company’s common stock. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 286 shares outstanding with a conversion price of $0.50 per share, such that each share of Series C Preferred Stock would convert into approximately 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; for a total of 572,000 shares of common stock, subject to customary adjustments, including for any accrued but unpaid dividends and pursuant to certain anti-dilution provisions, as set forth in the Series C certificate of designations. The conversion price will automatically adjust downward to 80% of the then-current market price of the Company’s common stock 15 trading days after any reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, and 5 trading days after any conversions of the Company’s outstanding convertible debt.

Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to quarterly cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 12.0% until 42 months after the original issuance date (the “Dividend End Date”), payable in cash or, subject to certain conditions, the Company’s common stock. Unpaid accrued dividends were $120,120 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock prior to the Dividend End Date, the Company will also pay to the converting holder a “make-whole payment” equal to the number of unpaid dividends through the Dividend End Date on the converted shares. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the “make-whole payment” for a converted share of Series C Preferred Stock would convert to 200 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Series C Preferred Stock generally has no voting rights except as required by Delaware law. Upon the Company’s liquidation or sale to or merger with another corporation, each share will be entitled to a liquidation preference of $1,000, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.

5. STOCK OPTIONS

The Company’s Stock Plan (the “Plan”) allows for the issuance of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, and stock purchase rights. The exercise price of options was determined by the Company’s board of directors, but incentive stock options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date. Options historically granted have generally become exercisable over four years and expire ten years from the date of grant. The plan provides for stock options to be granted up to 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock.

On February 10, 2023, the Company granted 925,000 stock options to employees, executives and directors of the Company. The stock options, which have exercise prices of $0.2629, will expire on February 9, 2033.

6. LITIGATION AND CLAIMS

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the dispositions of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. However, depending on the amount and timing of such disposition, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of these matters could materially affect the future results of operations or cash flows in a particular year.

As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there was no accrual recorded for any potential losses related to pending litigation.

Shenghuo was already the Company’s exclusive distributor in China, Macau and Hong Kong, and the license extended to manufacturing in those countries as well. Under the terms of the license agreement, once Shenghuo was capable of manufacturing LuViva in accordance with ISO 13485 for medical devices, Shenghuo would pay the Company a royalty equal to $2.00 or 20% of the distributor price (subject to a discount under certain circumstances), whichever is higher, per disposable distributed within Shenghuo’s exclusive territories. In connection with the license grant, Shenghuo was to underwrite the cost of securing approval of LuViva with Chinese Food and Drug Administration. At its option, Shenghuo also would provide up to $1.0 million in furtherance of the Company’s efforts to secure regulatory approval for LuViva from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, in exchange for the right to receive payments equal to 2% of the Company’s future sales in the United States, up to an aggregate of $4.0 million. Pursuant to the license agreement, Shenghuo had the option to have a designee appointed to the Company’s board of directors (current director Richard Blumberg is the designee).

On September 6, 2016, the Company entered into a royalty agreement with one of its directors, John Imhoff, and another stockholder, Dolores Maloof, pursuant to which the Company sold to them a royalty of future sales of single-use cervical guides for LuViva.

On January 22, 2020, the Company entered into a promotional agreement with a related party, which was partially owned by Mr. Blumberg, to provide investor and public relations services for a period of two years.

The warrants have a strike price of $0.25 and are subject to vesting based upon the close of the Series D offering and a minimum share price based on the 30-day VWAP. If the minimum share price per the terms of the agreement is not achieved, the warrants will expire three years after the scheduled issuance date. The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes model on the grant date of January 22, 2020. As a result of this agreement, the Company recognized nil and $79,444 of consulting expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Unrecognized consulting expense to be recognized under this agreement was nil as of September 30, 2023.

Issuance of the warrants owed to Mr. Blumberg for his services was predicated on the Company receiving funding receipts of $1,000,000, whether from a financing, series of financing, or gross sales. The amended agreement clarified that the warrants issued to Mr. Blumberg are compensation for services which involve investor relations, marketing services and assisting the Company with obtaining financing. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company obtained the requisite funding receipts and estimated the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Expected term (years)	1.3
Volatility	164.6	%
Risk-free interest rate	4.1	%
Dividend yield	0.0	%

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, expense recorded for the warrants was nil and $307,457, respectively. Unrecognized expense to be recognized for the warrants was nil as of September 30, 2023.

On August 24, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with Ironstone Capital Corp. and Alan Grujic (the “Advisory Group”) whereby the Advisory Group agreed to perform marketing and investor relations services over a term of twelve months, commencing on the closing of a financing of at least $2.5 million. In consideration for these services, the Company issued 800,000 warrants (“first tranche warrants”) with an exercise price of $0.50 to Mr. Grujic, which were due within 10 business days of closing the financing transaction (the “Transaction”) that took place in September 2022. In the event the Company’s 20 trading day variable weighted average price (“VWAP”) exceeds $1.00 within one year of the closing of the financing, the Company would have issued 600,000 warrants (“second tranche warrants”) with an exercise price of $0.75 to Mr. Grujic. In the event the Company’s 20 trading day VWAP exceeds $1.50 within two years of the closing of the financing, the Company will issue an additional 600,000 warrants (“third tranche warrants”) to Mr. Grujic. Once issued, the warrants vest immediately and will expire two years from the date of issuance. If the Company’s U.S. clinical study is not completed and filed with the U.S. FDA or if the Chinese NMPA (formerly Chinese FDA) approval is not granted by each due date for reaching each respective pricing milestone, then the due date for reaching each milestone shall be extended by six months. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company also agreed to pay the Advisory Group $2,000 per month for 12 months, starting the month after the closing of the Transaction.

OVERVIEW

We are a medical technology company focused on developing innovative medical devices that have the potential to improve healthcare. Our primary focus is the sales and marketing of our LuViva® Advanced Cervical Scan non-invasive cervical cancer detection device. The underlying technology of LuViva primarily relates to the use of biophotonics for the non-invasive detection of cancers. LuViva is designed to identify cervical cancers and precancers painlessly, non-invasively and at the point of care by scanning the cervix with light, then analyzing the reflected and fluorescent light.

LuViva provides a less invasive and painless alternative to conventional tests for cervical cancer screening and detection. Additionally, LuViva improves patient well-being not only because it eliminates pain, but also because it is convenient to use and provides rapid results at the point of care. We focus on two primary applications for LuViva: first, as a cancer screening tool in the developing world, where infrastructure to support traditional cancer-screening methods is limited or non-existent, and second, as a triage following traditional screening in the developed world, where a high number of false positive results cause a high rate of unnecessary and ultimately costly follow-up tests.

We are a Delaware corporation, originally incorporated in 1992 under the name “SpectRx, Inc.” and, on February 22, 2008, changed our name to Guided Therapeutics, Inc. At the same time, we renamed our wholly owned subsidiary, InterScan, which originally had been incorporated as “Guided Therapeutics.”

Since our inception, we have raised capital through the public and private sale of debt and equity, funding from collaborative arrangements, and grants.

Our prospects must be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by entrants into the medical device industry. This industry is characterized by an increasing number of participants, intense competition and a high failure rate. We have experienced operating losses since our inception and, as of September 30, 2023 we have an accumulated deficit of approximately $150.7 million. To date, we have engaged primarily in research and development efforts and the early stages of marketing our products. We do not have significant experience in manufacturing, marketing or selling our products. We may not be successful in growing sales for our products. Moreover, required regulatory clearances or approvals may not be obtained in a timely manner, or at all. Our products may not ever gain market acceptance and we may not ever generate significant revenues or achieve profitability. The development and commercialization of our products requires substantial development, regulatory, sales and marketing, manufacturing and other expenditures. We expect our operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to expend substantial resources to complete commercialization of our products, obtain regulatory clearances or approvals, build our marketing, sales, manufacturing and finance capabilities, and conduct further research and development.

Our product revenues to date have been limited. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the majority of our revenues were from the sale of components of our LuViva devices and disposables. We expect that the majority of our revenue in the near future will be derived from sales of LuViva devices and disposables.

Current Demand for LuViva

Based on written agreements and ongoing discussions with our distributors, we currently hold and expect to generate additional purchase orders for approximately $3.0 million in LuViva devices and disposables and expect those purchase orders to result in actual sales of $1.5 to $2.5 million throughout 2023 and 2024, representing what we view as current demand for our products. We cannot be assured that we will generate all or any of these additional purchase orders, or that existing orders will not be canceled by the distributors or that parts to build product will be available to meet demand, such that existing orders will result in actual sales. Because we have a short history of sales of our products, we cannot confidently predict future sales of our products beyond this time frame and cannot be assured of any particular number of sales. Accordingly, we have not identified any particular trends with regard to sales of our products. In order to increase demand for LuViva, the Company, in 2023 and 2024, is focused on three primary markets: the United States, China and Europe.

Table of Contents

In the United States, the Company is actively pursuing FDA approval by initiating a clinical trial protocol involving approximately 400 study participants. The protocol was drafted with input from FDA and at least two prestigious clinical centers that are participating in the study. Four clinical centers have agreed to participate in the study and have granted institutional review board approval to start the study. Budgets have been agreed to and clinical research agreements have been executed with all four institutions. The LuViva devices have been prepared and have passed bench testing in order to begin the study. In addition to individual institutional review board approvals, on July 20, 2022 we announced that the study had also been approved by the designated central Institutional Review Board (“IRB”). Below is a summary of progress made toward starting the study after delays due primarily to Covid-19, the resulting staffing shortages at medical institutions and the back log of clinical studies that were put on the back burner in deference to Covid-19 related studies.

	1)	Winship Cancer Center at Emory University (“Emory”) - On November 9, 2022, we received a letter from Emory’s IRB that we were conditionally approved to start the study, pending responses to three questions, which we provided to that IRB on November 10, 2022. All questions were addressed resulting in full institutional board approval for the study. A budget revision was initiated and approved by Emory on October 25, 2023. Both the budget and a revised clinical trial agreement were executed on October 26, 2023. An updated budget and an associated amendment to the previously signed clinical trial agreement were executed on November 7, 2023. Patients are expected to be enrolled in November 2023.

	2)	University of Alabama at Birmingham (“UAB”) – In November of 2022 we were granted full scientific committee approval and local IRB approval. We signed the clinical research agreement with UAB on December 15, 2022 and began on site orientation and training in March of 2023. Recruiting of test subjects began in April 2023 and the first subjects were enrolled and tested on May 5, 2023. UAB is actively enrolling and testing patients for the study.

	3)	In April 2023, the Company signed a Clinical Trial Agreement and budget with a third site, Great Lakes Bay Health Centers (“GLB”), which has granted the Company approval to start the study. GLB is actively enrolling and testing patients for the study.

	4)	A fourth site, Tidewater Clinical Research in Virginia Beach, VA has approved the study. Physician training on the use of LuViva and the clinical trial protocol occurred in July 2023 and TCR is actively enrolling and testing patients for the study.
	5)	The U.S. FDA has required, as a part of the quality control for the study, that the pathology diagnoses for patients enrolled in the study be performed at an institution different than the one enrolling patients. To that end, we have signed a research contract with the University of Florida Pathology Department to provide those services.

Overall, with three of the four clinical sites now enrolling patients, approximately 12% of the total number of patients needed for the study have been enrolled and tested. We expect the study to be completed in 2024, however there can be no assurance that the studies will progress within the timeframes described above.

Regarding international sales efforts, our focus has been on achieving regulatory approval to sell LuViva in China. Our Chinese partner, SMI, has reported to us that as of October 31, 2023, 12 additional patients are needed to complete the ongoing clinical trial for Chinese National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) approval. Based on this progress, the study could be completed during November 2023 and submitted for approval shortly thereafter, although there can be no assurance that the study and filing will be completed within the projected time frame.

In Europe, the Company attended a meeting in Bucharest, Romania on November 3-4, 2021, hosted by our central Eastern and Russian distribution partner. The LuViva system was demonstrated for doctors at a local clinic and the head Ob-Gyn physician’s hospital has accepted the LuViva device into service and is expected to order additional Cervical Guides to test patients as part of her practice.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our material accounting policies, which we believe are the most critical to investors understanding of our financial results and condition, are discussed below. Because we are still early in our enterprise development, the number of these policies requiring explanation is limited. When we begin to generate revenue from different sources, we expect that the number of applicable policies and complexity of the judgments required will increase.

Revenue Recognition: ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers establishes a single and comprehensive framework which sets out how much revenue is to be recognized, and when. The core principle is that a vendor should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the vendor expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue will now be recognized by a vendor when control over the goods or services is transferred to the customer. In contrast, Revenue based revenue recognition around an analysis of the transfer of risks and rewards; this now forms one of a number of criteria that are assessed in determining whether control has been transferred. The application of the core principle in ASC 606 is carried out in five steps:

Step 1 – Identify the contract with a customer: a contract is defined as an agreement (including oral and implied), between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for each of those rights and obligations. The contract needs to have commercial substance and it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled.

Step 2 – Identify the performance obligations in the contract: a performance obligation in a contract is a promise (including implicit) to transfer a good or service to the customer. Each performance obligation should be capable of being distinct and is separately identifiable in the contract.

Step 3 – Determine the transaction price: transaction price is the amount of consideration that the entity can be entitled to, in exchange for transferring the promised goods and services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Step 4 – Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: for a contract that has more than one performance obligation, the entity will allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation separately, in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. The acceptable methods of allocating the transaction price include adjusted market assessment approach, expected cost plus a margin approach, and the residual approach in limited circumstances. Discounts given should be allocated proportionately to all performance obligations unless certain criteria are met and reallocation of changes in standalone selling prices after inception is not permitted.

Step 5 – Recognize revenue as and when the entity satisfies a performance obligation: the entity should recognize revenue at a point in time, except if it meets any of the three criteria, which will require recognition of revenue over time: the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the entity’s performance as the entity performs, and the entity does not create an asset that has an alternative use to the entity and the entity has the right to be paid for performance to date.

Valuation of Deferred Taxes: We account for income taxes in accordance with the liability method. Under the liability method, we recognize deferred assets and liabilities based upon anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We establish a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be utilized against future taxable income.

Valuation of Equity Instruments Granted to Employee, Service Providers and Investors: On the date of issuance, the instruments are recorded at their fair value as determined using either the Black-Scholes valuation model or Monte Carlo Simulation model.

Allowance for Accounts Receivable: We estimate losses from the inability of our distributors to make required payments and periodically review the payment history of each of our distributors, as well as their financial condition, and revise our reserves as a result.

Inventory Valuation: All inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined substantially on a “first-in, first-out” basis. Selling, general, and administrative expenses are not inventoried, but are charged to expense when purchased.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 AND 2022

Sales Revenue, Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit from Devices and Disposables: Revenues from the sale of LuViva devices and disposables for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were nil, compared to $3,476 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Cost of goods sold was $3,743 during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $131 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in cost of goods sold in the current year was due inventory count adjustments. While we currently hold and expect to generate purchase orders for approximately $3.0 million in LuViva devices and disposables, supply chain issues have caused delays in our ability to procure some of the electrical components that are needed for our products. As of September 30, 2023, we have a deferred revenue balance of $450,516 for sales of our products, which will be recognized as revenue when our products are shipped. We anticipate recognizing revenue for approximately half of these shipments in 2023 with the remainder in first quarter of 2024 due to increased availability of certain parts.

Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $69,140 and $7,903, respectively. The increase of $61,237, or 775%, was primarily due to an increase in research and development clinical costs and payroll expenses related to clinical trials.

Sales and Marketing Expenses: Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $69,359 and $52,251, respectively. The increase of $17,108, or 33%, was primarily due to higher travel and payroll-related expenses.

General and Administrative Expense: General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $480,550 and $1,166,894, respectively. The decrease of $686,334, or 59%, was primarily due to $690,809 lower expense for warrants and common stock issued to Mr. Grujic and Mr. Blumberg, pursuant to their respective agreements. Additionally, there was a decrease of $64,378 in expenses for outside services, including fees for consultants and attorneys, a $29,075 decrease in stock option expense and a $5,996 decrease in other miscellaneous expenses. These decreases were offset by an increase of $78,368 in payroll and benefits costs and a $25,546 increase in property taxes.

Interest Expense: Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $71,481 and $154,958, respectively. The decrease of $83,477, or 54%, was due to a decrease in outstanding debt, resulting in lower interest recognized for outstanding notes payable and convertible debt during the three months ended September 30, 2023 versus the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability: The gain due to the change in fair value of the derivative liability during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $66 and $4,687, respectively. The change in the fair value of the derivative liability was due to changes to our stock price during the period and a reduction in the principal amount of debt owed.

Gain from Extinguishment of Debt: Gain from extinguishment of debt for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $17,184 and $269,799, respectively. The decrease in the current period was due to a lower amount of debt forgiven as the amount of debt owed has declined.

Preferred Stock Dividends: Expense related to preferred stock dividends for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $40,073, compared to income of $47,869 during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Income was recorded in the prior period due to reversal of $128,943 of previously accrued preferred stock dividend expense, due to the conversion of Series F-2 Preferred Stock into common shares prior to the date annual dividends are due.

Net loss: Net loss attributable to common stockholders during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $716,777 and $1,054,427, respectively. The decrease in net loss of $337,660, or 32%, was due to the reasons outlined above.

There was no income tax benefit recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022, due to recurring net operating losses. A full valuation allowance has been recorded for the deferred tax assets generated from the net operating losses.

COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 AND 2022

Sales Revenue, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit from Devices and Disposables: Revenues from the sale of LuViva devices and disposables for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $66,287 and $13,459, respectively. Cost of goods sold was $45,570 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $2,408 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in cost of goods sold in the current year was due to higher sales. While we currently hold and expect to generate purchase orders for approximately $3.0 million in LuViva devices and disposables supply chain issues have caused delays in our ability to procure some of the electrical components that are needed for our products. As of September 30, 2023, we have a deferred revenue balance of $450,516 for sales of our products, which will be recognized as revenue when our products are shipped. We anticipate recognizing revenue for approximately half of these shipments in 2023 with the remainder in first quarter of 2024 due to increased availability of certain parts.

Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were $142,450 and $38,467 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase of $103,983, or 270%, was primarily due to an increase in research and development clinical costs and payroll-related expenses related to clinical trials.

Sales and Marketing Expenses: Sales and marketing expenses were $203,334 and $129,194 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase of $74,140, or 57%, was primarily due to higher travel and payroll-related expenses.

General and Administrative Expense: General and administrative expenses were $2,647,017 and $2,228,586 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase of $418,431, or 19%, was primarily due to an increase of $787,625 in payroll and benefits (including payroll taxes), which was driven by $679,959 of additional expense recorded for warrants issued in relation to the appointment of Dr. Mark Faupel as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer during the period. Additionally, the Company recognized $89,408 of additional stock-based compensation expense during the period, $59,216 of which was due to the modification of a stock option award, and $22,761 of additional expense for warrants and common stock issued to Mr. Grujic and Mr. Blumberg, pursuant to their respective agreements, and a $3,007 increase in other miscellaneous expenses. These increases were offset by a decrease of $475,081 in expenses for outside services, including fees for consultants and attorneys and a $9,289 decrease in property taxes.

Interest Expense: Interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $205,872 and $511,600, respectively. The decrease of $305,728, or 60%, was due to a decrease in debt, which is a result of the Company’s concerted efforts to reduce debt through payoffs and exchanges.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability: The gain due to the change in fair value of the derivative liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $5,104 and $12,751, respectively. The change in the fair value of the derivative liability was due to changes to our stock price during the period and a reduction in the principal amount of debt owed.

Gain from extinguishment of debt: The gain from extinguishment of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $69,407 and $344,584, respectively. The decrease in the current period was due to a lower amount of debt forgiven as the amount of debt owed has declined.

Deemed Dividend for Warrant Exchanges: Expense related to deemed dividends was $65,296 and nil for the periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The expense in the current period was recognized as the excess fair value of warrant instruments exchanged over the fair value of the original warrants.

Preferred Stock Dividends: Expense related to preferred stock dividends was $122,328 and $581,499 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease of $459,171, or 79%, was primarily due to payment of a one-time, non-recurring 15% dividend to the Series F and Series F-2 Preferred shareholders which was paid via issuance of common stock in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was also driven by a lower amount of outstanding preferred stock due to conversions of preferred shares into shares of common stock.

Table of Contents

Net Loss: Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $3,289,502 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net loss of $3,115,209 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The reasons for the increase in net loss are outlined above.

There was no income tax benefit recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, due to recurring net operating losses. A full valuation allowance has been recorded for the deferred tax assets generated from the net operating losses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Going Concern Considerations

We have incurred significant losses since our inception. At September 30, 2023, the Company had a negative working capital of approximately $3.3 million, accumulated deficit of $150.6 million, and incurred a net loss including preferred dividends of $3.3 million for the nine months then ended. Stockholders’ deficit totaled approximately $3.7 million at September 30, 2023, primarily due to recurring net losses from operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company raised $195 thousand from warrant exercises. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company raised $3.2 million from the sale of common stock and warrants (net of expenses), and $532 thousand of proceeds from warrant exercises. The Company will need to continue to raise capital in order to provide funding for its operations and FDA approval process. If sufficient capital cannot be raised, the Company will continue its plans of curtailing operations by reducing discretionary spending and staffing levels and attempting to operate by only pursuing activities for which it has external financial support. However, there can be no assurance that such external financial support will be sufficient to maintain even limited operations or that the Company will be able to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all. In such a case, the Company might be required to enter into unfavorable agreements or, if that is not possible, be unable to continue operations, and to the extent practicable, liquidate and/or file for bankruptcy protection.

Liquidity

Since our inception, we have raised capital through the public and private sale of debt and equity, funding from collaborative arrangements, and grants. As of September 30, 2023, we had cash of approximately $731 thousand and negative working capital of $3.3 million. Cash on hand is sufficient to fund our operations for the next four months, upon which we will need to raise capital.

Our major cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 consisted of cash used by operating activities of $1.4 million and net cash used in financing activities of $172 thousand, which was derived from $195 thousand of proceeds from warrant exercises, offset by payments made on outstanding debt.

Our major cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 consisted of cash used by operating activities of $1.1 million, cash used for investing activities of $28 thousand and net cash provided by financing activities of $3.2 million of proceeds received from the sale of common stock and warrants (net of costs), $496 thousand of proceed from warrant exercises, offset by cash outflows for payments made on notes payable.

Contingencies

The current outbreak of the Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the pathogen responsible for COVID-19, has led to supply chain issues that previously caused delays in our ability to procure the circuit boards needed to ship our products. While we continue to see delays in our ability to obtain necessary parts, we believe we will be able to meet our demand for the remainder of 2023. However, the outbreak could result in additional repercussions in our operating business, including but not limited to, the sourcing of materials for product candidates, manufacture of supplies for preclinical and/or clinical studies, delays in clinical operations, which may include the availability or the continued availability of patients for trials due to such things as quarantines, conduct of patient monitoring and clinical trial data retrieval at investigational study sites.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements, no special purpose entities, and no activities that include non-exchange-traded contracts accounted for at fair value.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) rules and forms. We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer/Acting Chief Financial Officer, Mark Faupel, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer/Acting Chief Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2023, due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses identified arose from a lack of recourses to properly research and account for complex transactions and lack of oversight and approval by the Board of Directors and Audit Committee, including formally documented approval of significant transactions, including related party transactions. While management is currently in the early stages of developing a remediation plan, we have yet to fully remediate this material weakness.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Revenue Recognition

	·	Step 1 – Identify the contract with a customer: a contract is defined as an agreement (including oral and implied), between two or more parties, that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for each of those rights and obligations. The contract needs to have commercial substance and it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled.

	·	Step 2 – Identify the performance obligations in the contract: a performance obligation in a contract is a promise (including implicit) to transfer a good or service to the customer. Each performance obligation should be capable of being distinct and is separately identifiable in the contract.

	·	Step 3 – Determine the transaction price: transaction price is the amount of consideration that the entity can be entitled to, in exchange for transferring the promised goods and services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

	·	Step 4 – Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: for a contract that has more than one performance obligation, the entity will allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation separately, in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. The acceptable methods of allocating the transaction price include adjusted market assessment approach, expected cost plus a margin approach, and the residual approach in limited circumstances. Discounts given should be allocated proportionately to all performance obligations unless certain criteria are met and reallocation of changes in standalone selling prices after inception is not permitted.

	·	Step 5 – Recognize revenue as and when the entity satisfies a performance obligation: the entity should recognize revenue at a point in time, except if it meets any of the three criteria, which will require recognition of revenue over time: the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the entity’s performance as the entity performs, and the entity does not create an asset that has an alternative use to the entity and the entity has the right to be paid for performance to date.

Revenue Recognition

	·	Step 1 – Identify the contract with a customer: a contract is defined as an agreement (including oral and implied), between two or more parties, that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for each of those rights and obligations. The contract needs to have commercial substance and it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled.

	·	Step 2 – Identify the performance obligations in the contract: a performance obligation in a contract is a promise (including implicit) to transfer a good or service to the customer. Each performance obligation should be capable of being distinct and is separately identifiable in the contract.

	·	Step 3 – Determine the transaction price: transaction price is the amount of consideration that the entity can be entitled to, in exchange for transferring the promised goods and services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

	·	Step 4 – Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: for a contract that has more than one performance obligation, the entity will allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation separately, in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. The acceptable methods of allocating the transaction price include adjusted market assessment approach, expected cost plus a margin approach, and the residual approach in limited circumstances. Discounts given should be allocated proportionately to all performance obligations unless certain criteria are met and reallocation of changes in standalone selling prices after inception is not permitted.

	·	Step 5 – Recognize revenue as and when the entity satisfies a performance obligation: the entity should recognize revenue at a point in time, except if it meets any of the three criteria, which will require recognition of revenue over time: the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the entity’s performance as the entity performs, and the entity does not create an asset that has an alternative use to the entity and the entity has the right to be paid for performance to date.
