CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include those that express plans, anticipation, intent, contingency, goals, targets or future development and/or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology, such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “should,” “continue,” “could” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout this report. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and projections about future events and they are subject to risks and uncertainties known and unknown that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements, including risks associated with:

implementation of our business strategy and the fact that we actively market only two FDA-clearedU.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, cleared products and may not benefit from our recent investments in other companies developing complementary products or the extension of QuantaFlo to test for other cardiovascular diseases;

changes in the regulatory reimbursement landscape, such as the recent 2024 Medicare Advantage and Part D Final Rate Announcement issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, could impact the perceived value of using our products to aid diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases;

the failure of physicians and other customers to widely adopt our products, or to determine that our product provides a safe and effective alternative to existing ankle brachial index, or ABI, devices;
the fact that our testing product is generally but not specifically approved for reimbursement under any third-party payor codes;
our reliance on the talents of a small number of key personnel, and a small direct sales force;
not requiring customers to enter into long-term licenses;
concentration of our revenues and accounts receivable with a limited number of customers;
our reliance on a small number of independent suppliers and facilities for the manufacturing of our product;
our business being subject to many laws and government regulations, including governing the manufacture and sale of medical devices, patient data, and others;
our ability to protect our intellectual property;
impacts of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and macroeconomic factors that could impact our business, such as the effects of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the global economy and supply chain and inflation;inflation, as well as the recent bank failures; and
the other factors set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 4, 2022.23, 2023.

Because the risks and uncertainties referred to above and in our SEC reports could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

You should read this quarterly report and the documents that we reference herein and therein and have filed as exhibits to this report and our other filings with the SEC. You should assume that the information appearing in this quarterly report is accurate as of the date of this quarterly report only. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking

statements. We qualify all of the information presented in this quarterly report, and particularly our forward-looking statements, by these cautionary statements.

This update is effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted this ASU prospectively effective January 1, 2022 and determined that the adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05, Leases (Topic 842): Lessors—Certain Leases with Variable Lease PaymentsThis update addresses stakeholders’ concerns by amending the lease classification requirements for lessors to align them with practice under Topic 840. Lessors should classify and account for a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate as an operating lease if both of the following criteria are met: i) The lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease in accordance with the classification criteria in paragraphs 842-10-25-2 through 25-3, ii) the lessor would have otherwise recognized a day-one loss. This update is effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after

December 15, 2021. The Company adopted this ASU prospectively to the leases that commence or modified on or after January 1, 2022 and determined that the adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entitiesabout Government Assistance. This ASU increases the transparency of government assistance to include the disclosure of (1) the types of assistance, (2) an entity's accounting for the assistance, and (3) the effect of the assistance on an entity's financial statements. The guidance in ASU 2021-10 is effective for financial statements of all entities, including private companies, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early application permitted. Entities are required to provide the new disclosures prospectively for all transactions with a government entity that are accounted for under either a grant or a contribution accounting model and are reflected in the financial statements at the date of initially applying the new amendments, and to new transactions entered into after that date. The Company adopted ASU No. 2021-10 prospectively to the government assistance received after January 1, 2022 and determined that the adoption of this new accounting standard did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“Topic 326”). This ASU requires timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held. Instead of reserves based on a current probability analysis, Topic 326 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. All organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Topic 326 requires enhanced disclosures regarding significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. In addition, Topic 326 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326 Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, to introduce amendments which will affect the recognition and measurement of financial instruments, including derivatives and hedging. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326); Targeted Transition Relief. The amendments in this ASU provide entities that have certain instruments within the scope of Subtopic 326-20 with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10, applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments upon adoption of Topic 326. This standard and related amendments are effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

This ASU improves and clarifies various financial instruments topics, including the current expected credit losses standard issued in 2016 (ASU No. 2016-13). The ASU includes seven different issues that describe the areas of improvement and the related amendments to GAAP, intended to make the standards easier to understand and apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The amendments have different effective dates. The issues 1-5 are conforming amendments, which are effective upon issuance of this final update. The Company determined that issues 1-5 have no impact on its financials. The amendments related to issue 6 and 7 effect ASU No. 2016-13, Financial instruments – credit losses (Topic 326): measurement of credit losses on financial statements.

3.Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of accounts. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of this allowance for credit losses by considering historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, the credit quality of the customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay to determine whether a specific reserve is appropriate. Accounts receivable deemed uncollectable are charged against the allowance for credit losses when identified.

In September 2020, the Company acquired a promissory note from NeuroDiagnostics Inc., which is doing business as SynapsSYNAPS Dx, (“Synaps”), in the principal amount of $500.$500, $100 of which was retained for expense reimbursement. Subsequently, in December 2020, the Company agreed to convert the promissory note, together with all accrued interest thereon, into shares of preferred stock of SynapsSYNAPS Dx as repayment in full of the promissory note. The value of the note exchanged for the shares of preferred stock of SynapsSYNAPS Dx held by the Company as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20212022 was approximately $512.

In October 2020, the Company acquired from a seller a convertible promissory note previously issued by Mellitus Health Inc., (“Mellitus”) to such seller for a purchase price of $59, which represented the $50 principal amount of the note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Subsequently, in October 2020, the Company purchased $250 of shares of preferred stock of Mellitus, and in connection with such transaction, the convertible promissory note, together with all accrued interest thereon, also converted pursuant to its terms into shares of preferred stock of Mellitus as repayment in full of such convertible promissory note. The value of consideration exchanged for the shares of preferred stock of Mellitus held by the Company as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20212022 was approximately $309.

The investments in SynapsSYNAPS Dx and Mellitus securities that were retained by the Company as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 were recorded in accordance with ASC 321, Investments – equity securities, which provides that investments in equity securities in privately-held companies without readily determinable fair values are generally recorded at cost, plus or minus subsequent observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments, less impairments. The Company elected the practical expedient permitted by ASC 321 and recorded the above investments on a cost basis. As a part of the assessment for impairment indicators, the Company considers significant deterioration in the earnings performance and overall business prospects of the investee as well as significant adverse changes in the external environment these investments operate. If qualitative assessment indicates the investments are impaired, the fair value of these equity securities would be estimated, which would involve a significant degree of judgement and subjectivity. In

The Company qualitatively assessed both investments for impairment in accordance with ASC 321,321. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company assessed qualitatively for impairment and determined that there was no impairment for these investments as of September 30, 2022the investment in SYNAPS Dx and December 31, 2021.the investment in Mellitus.

As of March 31, 2023, the interest income recorded on these bills was $167.

The Company's privately held debt securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The estimation of fair value for these investments requires the use of significant unobservable inputs, and as a result, the Company deems these assets as Level 3 within the fair value measurement framework. For investments without a readily determinable fair value, the Company applies valuation methods based on information available, including the market approach and bond plus call pricing approach. Observable transactions, such as the issuance of new equity by an investee and changes in market yield, are indicators of investee enterprise value and are used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s investments.

The Company valued the Monarch Debt Security using a bond plus call option model reflecting the cash flow from the Monarch Debt Security and assuming a 20% probability of an equity financing, a 20% probability of a change of control, and a 60% probability of payment at maturity or an insolvency event. The Company valued the Mellitus debt security using a bond plus call option model reflecting the cash flow from the Mellitus debt securities and assuming a 70% probability of an equity financing, 8% probability of a change of control, and a 22% probability of payment at maturity or an insolvency event. The fair value of the Company’s privately held debt securities were estimated at $4,072 and $3,679 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The key inputs for the valuation model are:

In May 2022, to facilitate the subordination of such notes in connection with the purchase of the senior secured notes, the Company acquired $179 aggregate principal amount of outstanding convertible notes of Mellitus, which, as amended, mature July 5, 2025, if not automatically converted into preferred stock prior thereto. This note bears an interest rate of 10% per annum.

In December 2022, the Company entered in a senior convertible promissory note arrangement with Monarch Medical Technology, LLC (“Monarch”), providing Monarch with up to $5,000 in available funding, of which $4,000, in principle was drawn as of March 31, 2023 (the “Debt Security”). The remaining $1,000 is available to be drawn at any time unless there is an Event of Default that is continuing. The Debt Security accrues interest at 10% per annum, payable monthly, and the principal balance is due December 6, 2024. The note along with up to $100 of transaction expenses is due and payable on the occurrence of an event of default or change of control unless accelerated due to the conversion into preferred stock prior thereto at the option of the Company. The Company accruedhas the option to extend the maturity date for two consecutive one-year terms. The Debt Security can be converted into Monarch’s shares at the Company’s option upon (a) an equity financing at Monarch, (b) upon a change of control at Monarch, or (c) at the Company’s option at any time prior to the maturity date. If converted upon a change of control, the Company has the right to receive a cash payment equal to the balance of the Debt Security or the amount payable upon conversion into Monarch’s shares. The Debt Security is redeemable at any time at Monarch’s option or automatically upon an Event of Default.

The Company made an irrevocable election to account for the Debt Securities using the fair value option under ASC 825 – Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”) and will measure the fair value of the Debt Securities in accordance with ASC 820. The Company made the fair value option election to present the Debt Securities in its entirety at fair value, which it believes to be preferable to recognizing the host instrument at fair value under ASC 320 and potentially separately recognizing certain embedded features as bifurcated derivatives under ASC 815. As of March 31, 2023, the Company estimated the fair value of the Debt Securities of Monarch to be $3,858 and Mellitus $214. As of December 31, 2022, the Company estimated the fair value of the Debt Securities of Monarch to be $3,500 and Mellitus $179, which were equivalent of the outstanding principal balances at December 31, 2022.

The Company recognizes interest income as it accrues on the Debt Securities, which is included in interest income in the statements of $17income. For the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and $20 for2022, the threeCompany recognized $82 and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Credit risk is the risk of loss from amounts owed by the financial counterparties. Credit risk can occur at multiple levels; as a result of broad economic conditions, challenges within specific sectors of the economy, or from issues affecting individual companies. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable.

The Company maintains cash with major financial institutions. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consistconsists of bank deposits and money market funds held with banks that, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The cash and cash equivalents also include short termshort-term treasury bills with original maturities of three months or less. As of March 31,2023, the Company held deposits of $5,305, approximately $5,198 of which held by First Republic Bank (“FRB”). The Company’s deposits at FRB are largely uninsured. On May 1, 2023, JP Morgan Chase Bank (“JPM”) agreed to acquire all the assets and liabilities of FRB. Consequently, all depositors of FRB will become the depositors of JPM. Deposits at JPM are largely uninsured. The Company also invested in U.S. treasury bills in the amount of $19.9 million and  money market funds of $7.5 million which  are measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on quoted market prices in active markets and are classified as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.$37,663.

The lease component is the predominant component and consists of fees charged for use of the equipment over the period of the arrangement. The nature of the eligible non-lease component is primarily software support. The assets associated with these leasing arrangements are separately identified in the Balance Sheet as Assets for Lease and separately disclosed in Note 4 to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements.

Indemnification Obligations

The Company enters into agreements with customers, partners, lenders, consultants, lessors, contractors, sales representatives and parties to certain transactions in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. These agreements may require the Company to indemnify the other party against third party claims alleging that its product infringes a patent or copyright. Certain of these agreements require the Company to indemnify the other party against losses arising from: a breach of representations or covenants, claims relating to property damage, personal injury or acts or omissions of the Company, its employees, agents or representatives. The Company has also agreed to indemnify the directors and certain of the officers and employees in accordance with the by-laws of the Company. These indemnification provisions will vary based upon the nature and terms of the agreements. In many cases, these indemnification provisions do not contain limits on the Company’s liability, and the occurrence of contingent events that will trigger payment under these indemnities is difficult to predict. As a result, the Company cannot estimate its potential liability under these indemnities. The Company believes that the likelihood of conditions arising that would trigger these indemnities is remote and, historically, the Company has not made any significant payment under such indemnification provisions. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities relating to these agreements. In certain cases, the Company has recourse against third parties with respect to the aforesaid indemnities, and the Company believes it maintains adequate levels of insurance coverage to protect the Company with respect to potential claims arising from such agreements.

401(K) Plan

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company started to match 50% of employee’s 401(k) deferral up to a maximum of 6% of the employee’s eligible earnings.

Other

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) provides for an employee retention payroll tax credit for certain employers, which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes equal to 50% of the qualified wages an eligible employer pays to employees after March 12, 2020 and before December 31, 2021. For each employee, wages (including health plan costs) up to $10,000 can be counted to determine the amount of the 50% credit. The Company started claiming this credit on its July 2020 payroll until mid-April 2021 when it determined that it no longer qualified given the change in government restrictions on travel that had impacted its sales activities. The Company’s determination that it qualified to claim the employee retention payroll tax credit is subjective and subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). If the IRS were to disagree with the Company’s tax position, it could be required to pay the retention credit claimed, along with penalties. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2021,2023, the Company has claimed $1.24 million in this retention credit.

The Company’s stock-based compensation program is designed to attract and retain employees while also aligning employees’ interests with the interests of its stockholders. Stock options have been granted to employees under the stockholder-approved 2007 Key Person Stock Option Plan (“2007 Plan”) and stock options and restricted stock have been granted to employees under the stockholder-approved 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”). Stockholder approval of the 2014 Plan became effective in September 2014. The 2014 Plan originally provided that the aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2014 Plan may not exceed 450,000 shares (the “Share Reserve”), however in October 2015, the stockholders approved a 1,500,000 increase to the Share Reserve. In addition, the Share Reserve automatically increases on January 1st of each year, for a period of not more than 10 years, beginning on January 1st of the year following the year in which the 2014 Plan became effective and ending on (and including) January 1, 2024, in an amount equal to 4% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year. The Company’s Board of Directors may act prior to January 1st of a given year to provide that there will be no January 1st increase in the Share Reserve for such year or that the increase in the Share Reserve for such year will be a lesser number of shares of common stock than would otherwise occur. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Board of Directors agreed not to increase the Share Reserve, and accordingly, the Share Reserve did not increase on January 1, 2021. On January 1, 2022,2023, the Share Reserve increased by 270,338.267,685. The Share Reserve is currently 3,315,2033,582,888 shares as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

Under this program the Company may purchase shares on a discretionary basis from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or through the use of other techniques such as accelerated share repurchases. The timing and amount of any transactions will be subject to the discretion of the Company based upon market conditions and other opportunities that it may have for the use or investment of its cash balances. The repurchase program has no expiration date, does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our condensed unaudited financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and with the audited financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021,2022, and the information under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 4, 2022,23, 2023, or the Annual Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those discussed in our forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.

Overview

We are a company providing technology solutions to improve the clinical effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare providers. Our mission is to develop, manufacture and marketthat develops, manufactures ands markets innovative products and services that assist our customers in evaluating and treating chronic diseases. In 2011, we began commercializing our firstOur flagship product, QuantaFlo, which is patented and U.S. Food and Drug Administration, orcleared by the FDA, cleared product, which measuredis a rapid point-of-care test that measures arterial blood flow in the extremities to aidextremities. The QuantaFlo test aids in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, such as peripheral arterial disease, or PAD. In March 2015, we received FDA 510(k) clearance for the next generation versionPAD, and heart dysfunction. QuantaFlo is used by healthcare providers to evaluate their patient’s risk of our product, QuantaFlo, which we began commercializing in August 2015.mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events.

In April 2021, we entered intoWe have an agreement with Mellitus Health Inc., or Mellitus, a private company to exclusively market and distribute Insulin Insights,, an FDA-cleared software product that recommends optimal insulin dosing for diabetic patientsoutpatients in the United States, including Puerto Rico, except for selected accounts.

We madehave minority investments in Mellitus, includingin Monarch Medical Technology LLC, or Monarch,, a recent senior secured loan of $1.0 millionprivate digital health company whose proprietary product, EndoTool Glucose Management System, offers a technological solution for inpatient glycemic management, and secured convertible promissory note of $179 thousand (see Note 7 to our unaudited condensed interim financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q) Neurodiagnostics, Inc., and in another private company that doeswhich is doing business as SynapsSYNAPS Dx andwhose product, Discern, is a test for early Alzheimer’s disease. We continue to develop additional complementary innovativeproprietary products in-house. For example,in-house (such as our recently released QuantaFlo can now be usedextension as an aid to identify patients with another cardiovascular disease. We intendmeasure hemodynamics related to sell this extension to our existing customer baseheart dysfunction), and others as an upgrade to our software as a service business model. The clinical problem may be as important as PAD. A medical aide performs the test in a primary care setting similar to how one uses QuantaFlo for PAD. It uses the existing FDA clearance as we anticipated this extension many years ago. The technology is protected by trade secrets. A manuscript has been submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication. Because the peer review and publication date are controlled by the publisher, the timing is not under our control. The process of selling the product has begun. The product is on the shelf and ready to ship as soon as the contracts are signed. We also intend to continue to seek out other arrangements for additional products and services that we believe will bring value to our customers and to our company. We believe our current products and services, and any future products or services that we may offer, position us to provide valuable information to our customer base, which in turn permits them to better guide patient care.

In the three months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had total revenues of $14.0$18.2 million and net income of $3.7$5.0 million, compared to total revenues of $14.0 million and net income of $4.2$3.4 million in the same period in 2021. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had total revenues of $42.9 million and net income of $11.1 million, compared to total revenues of $41.5 million and net income of $15.7 million in the same period in 2021.2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires There have been no material changes tothe use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures in the financial statements. Critical accounting policies are those accounting policies that may be material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change, and that have a material impact on financial condition or operating performance. While we base our estimates and judgments on our experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For a discussion of ourCompany’s critical accounting policies and estimates see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and notes to the financial statementsdescribed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2022.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure material information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer, our Senior Vice President, Finance and Accounting and our Vice President, Finance, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognized that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer, our Senior Vice President, Finance and Accounting and our Vice President, Finance, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2022. March 31, 2023.
