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, 2024 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, 2024 balances reported herein are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 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 March 31 2025, it had an accumulated deficit of approximately $154.2 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 the development of its products, obtain regulatory clearances or approvals, build its marketing, sales, manufacturing and finance capabilities, and conduct further research and development.
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 March 31, 2025, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $

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 inventory valuation, valuation of share-based compensation and the valuation of the convertible note payable derivative liability. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. This guidance will be effective for the annual periods beginning the year ended December 31, 2025. This ASU will result in the required additional disclosures being included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, once adopted.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This ASU requires public business entities to disclose, for interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain income statement expense categories. The requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Entities are permitted to apply either the prospective or retrospective transition methods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
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.
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 nil and $

Depreciation expense related to property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was not material.
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 months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

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 6 – “Commitments and Contingencies.”
Accrued Liabilities

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’s revenues do not require significant estimates or judgments and are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, which occurs at a point in time, most frequently upon shipment of the product or receipt of the product, depending on shipment terms. Revenue is measured as the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company does not offer returns, discounts, loyalty programs or other sales incentive programs that are material to revenue recognition. The Company is not party to contracts that include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration.
Contract Balances
The Company records deferred revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance, including amounts billed or collected for which the related performance obligations have not been satisfied. Deferred revenue totaled $
Trade receivables are recorded net of allowances for chargebacks, cash discounts for prompt payment and credit losses. The Company estimates an allowance for expected credit losses by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. The corresponding expense for the credit loss allowance is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses. The credit loss allowance was immaterial as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

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.
The Company has filed its 2024 federal and state corporate tax returns. Although the Company has been experiencing recurring losses, it is obligated to file tax returns for compliance with IRS regulations and that of applicable state jurisdictions. At March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $

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.

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.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| · | Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company can access at the measurement date. |
|
|
|
| · | Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
|
|
|
| · | Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s judgment about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. |
An asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques noted in ASC 820:
| · | Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
| · | Cost approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). |
|
|
|
| · | Income approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount |
The Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, however the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

4. 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 aggregate number of common shares that may be issued or reserved pursuant to stock option or other awards under the plan may not exceed

Contingencies
The conflict in Ukraine, which has already had an impact on financial markets, could result in additional repercussions in our operating business, including delays in obtaining regulatory approval to market our products in Russia. The future impact of the conflict is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, and we cannot provide any assurance that the conflict will not have a material adverse impact on our operations or future results or filings with regulatory health authorities.
Tariffs imposed and/or publicly contemplated by the U.S. government in the first quarter of 2025, particularly those affecting imports from China, create significant uncertainty with respect to future tax and trade regulations and the potential competitive effects of such actions. Although the countries in which our products are manufactured or imported may from time to time impose additional quotas, duties, tariffs, or other restrictions, or adversely modify existing ones, we have established an auxiliary manufacturing site in Hungary. This strategic initiative helps mitigate our exposure to currently imposed tariffs, particularly those targeting Chinese imports, and limits the overall impact on our operations. Nevertheless, it remains unclear what the U.S. administration or foreign governments specifically will or will not do with respect to tariffs, tax policies, or other international trade agreements, regulations, and policies. A trade war, other governmental actions related to tariffs or international trade agreements, or changes in U.S. or foreign social, political, regulatory and economic conditions—especially as they relate to manufacturing and investment—could still materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.

In the event of default, the unpaid portion of the Notes and accrued interest is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion rate equal to the variable conversion price. The variable conversion price is equal to the lowest closing price of our common stock during the ten days prior to the conversion date multiplied by 65.0%. The Company assessed the embedded conversion features and determined that they are not considered clearly and closely related to the host notes and therefore meet the definition of derivatives. Therefore, these embedded conversion features are required to be bifurcated from the note and accounted for separately as a derivative liability. The Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liabilities on the issuance dates of the Notes and recorded them as discounts that net against the convertible notes. The Company is required to remeasure the derivative liabilities to their then fair values at each subsequent balance sheet date, through an adjustment to current earnings (see Note 11 for further details on the Company’s fair value measurement).
At March 31, 2025, the balance due on the Notes was $

10. INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders, amounts are computed by dividing the net income (loss) plus preferred stock dividends and deemed dividends on preferred stock by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders amounts are computed by dividing the net income (loss) plus preferred stock dividends, deemed dividends on preferred stock, after-tax interest on convertible debt and convertible dividends by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, plus Series C-1, Series D, Series E, Series F and Series F-2 convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, convertible preferred dividends, warrants and stock options convertible into common stock shares.
During a period of net loss, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same as the assumed exercise of warrants and the conversion of convertible debt and preferred stock are anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, all stock options, convertible preferred stock, convertible debt and warrants were anti-dilutive and were therefore excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share. At March 31, 2025 and 2024, these instruments were convertible into

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The convertible notes payable derivative liabilities are considered Level 3 measurements, due to the significant unobservable inputs in the valuation, which are based on a forecast of the Company’s future stock performance and, as the note payable is contingently convertible upon an event of default, management’s estimate of the likelihood and timing of conversion.
Based on the terms and provisions of the convertible notes payable, management built a pricing simulation that predicts the Company’s future stock prices using historical volatility. Our model is designed to utilize the Company’s best estimates of the timing and likelihood of a conversion of the notes payable to calculate the variable conversion price as of the future conversion date.
33 |
Table of Contents |
The key inputs to the valuation model that was utilized to estimate the fair value of the bifurcated conversion option included:
| · | The forecasted future stock prices were determined using historical stock prices and the Company’s equity volatility. |
| · | The expected conversion price was determined using the forecast and the contractual terms of the convertible note agreements. |
| · | The probability and timing of potential conversions are based on management’s best estimate of the future settlements of the convertible notes. |
The following tables presents the fair value of the bifurcated conversion options as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

12. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company is not organized by 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. Since the Company operates as one operating segment, financial segment information, including profit or loss and asset information, can be found in the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act), which provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements made by us. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, including statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, beliefs, business strategies, future events, business conditions, results of operations, financial position, business outlook, business trends, and other information, may be forward-looking statements. Words such as “might,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “estimates,” “expects,” “continues,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “intends,” “believes,” “forecasts,” “future,” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based upon our current expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections, and various assumptions, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Our expectations, beliefs, estimates, and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates, and projections will occur or can be achieved and actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or anticipated results, including those that may be set forth under "Risk Factors" below and elsewhere in this report, as well as in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Examples of these uncertainties and risks include, but are not limited to:
| · | access to sufficient debt or equity capital to meet our operating and financial needs; |
| · | the extent of dilution of the holdings of our existing stockholders upon the issuance, conversion or exercise of securities issued as part of our capital raising efforts; |
| · | the extent to which certain debt holders may call the notes to be paid; |
| · | the effectiveness and ultimate market acceptance of our products and our ability to generate sufficient sales revenues to sustain our growth and strategy plans; |
| · | whether our products in development will prove safe, feasible and effective; |
| · | whether and when we or any potential strategic partners will obtain required regulatory approvals in the markets in which we plan to operate; |
| · | our need to achieve manufacturing scale-up in a timely manner, and our need to provide for the efficient manufacturing of sufficient quantities of our products; |
| · | the lack of immediate alternate sources of supply for some critical components of our products; |
| · | our ability to establish and protect the proprietary information on which we base our products, including our patent and intellectual property position; |
| · | The impact of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on economic conditions in general and on our business operations; |
| · | the need to fully develop the marketing, distribution, customer service and technical support and other functions critical to the success of our product lines; |
| · | the dependence on potential strategic partners or outside investors for funding, development assistance, clinical trials, distribution and marketing of some of our products; and |
| · | other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in our reports filed with the SEC. |

Table of Contents |
These forward-looking statements reflect our management’s beliefs and views with respect to future events and are based on estimates and assumptions as of the date of this filing and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors 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 may make. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
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 in 1992 as SpectRx, Inc. and, as of March 31, 2025, we have an accumulated deficit of approximately $154.2 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.
37 |
Table of Contents |
Our product revenues to date have been limited. Our historical and expected future revenue has been and will be derived from sales of LuViva devices and disposables.
Current Demand for LuViva
Based on written agreements and ongoing discussions with SMI, we currently hold and expect to generate additional purchase orders which we expect to result in actual sales of approximately $2.0 million within the next twelve months. 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, we are focused on three primary markets: the United States, China and Europe. In addition, we have recently received sales orders from Turkey and Indonesia, for which we have received the necessary regulatory approvals and are preparing to fulfill. These orders are expected to result in approximately $500,000 in revenue for 2025. When combined with sales to our Chinese partner, these constitute what we view as the current demand for our products.
In the United States, the Company is actively pursuing FDA approval by conducting a clinical trial involving approximately 400 study participants, with the exact number depending in part on the numbers of women in the study both with and without cervical disease. The study protocol was drafted with input from FDA and physicians at the clinical centers that are participating in the study. In 2023, FDA completed its review of the protocol and had no further recommendations or questions. Also in 2023, four clinical sites agreed to participate in the study and all four of the study sites were fully IRB approved. The protocol was also approved by an independent, nationally recognized institutional review board. All four sites have received LuViva devices and have been trained in their use. All four sites have undergone multiple clinical study monitoring visits by the Company’s clinical study monitors. Clinical study monitoring visits are required by FDA to ensure that the study is being conducted under FDA guidelines and in compliance with the study protocol. Findings from the ongoing clinical study monitoring visits include:
| 1. | As of May 1, 2025, approximately 360 patients have been enrolled and tested, which represents approximately ninety percent of the 400 anticipated patients needed to complete the study. |
|
|
|
| 2. | There have not been any adverse events reported related to the use of LuViva. |
|
|
|
| 3. | All four monitored clinical study sites are adhering to the study protocol and are completing the necessary case report forms according to FDA standards. |
|
|
|
| 4. | All four study sites have met minimum enrollment quotas as set forth by the study protocol. |
Based on current and expected enrollment rates, we expect the study to be completed in 2025, depending in part by how many women are diagnosed with cervical disease. However, there can be no assurance that the study will progress and be completed within the expected timeframe, or ever.
Regarding international sales efforts, our focus has been on achieving regulatory approval to sell LuViva in China. Our Chinese partner, SMI, filed the application with NMPA for approval of LuViva as a Class 3 medical device in China on October 16, 2024. The results for the 449 women tested by LuViva were better than required by NMPA with a sensitivity of 83% and a specificity of 54%. There were no adverse events reported during the use of LuViva in the study, adding further evidence as to the safety of the technology. The NMPA application was accepted as complete and is under review. SMI believes NMPA approval could happen within five months, although there can be no assurance that NMPA approval will occur within the projected time frame, or ever.
In Europe, our distribution partners, Newmars Medical Technologies (“Newmars”), is actively pursuing potential customers in Poland, Hungary and Romania, where we have obtained the required approvals to sell our products though Newmars. In addition, an application for approval has been filed in Russia, although current geopolitics presents uncertainty as to the ability to sell and market new medical technology in that country.

Table of Contents |
In Turkey, we have been in contact with three different medical groups representing over 60 individual hospitals and clinics. We have entered contract discussions for supplying LuViva to the Turkish Ministry of Health and also with a medical device distributor located in Ankara.
In Indonesia, our contracted distributors are in discussions with the local government hospital system of Sulawesi, one of the nation’s most populous islands. During the fourth quarter of 2024, we received an order and full payment for four devices from Indonesia. We expect additional orders for 22 – 26 devices in 2025.
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. As we begin to generate increased 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 is now recognized 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 the 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 the Black-Scholes or binomial lattice valuation models.
Allowance for Credit Losses: Trade receivables are recorded net of allowances for chargebacks, cash discounts for prompt payment and credit losses. The Company estimates an allowance for expected credit losses by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. The corresponding expense for the credit loss allowance is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses. The allowance for credit losses was immaterial as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
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 incurred.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 AND 2024
Sales Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold: Revenues and cost of goods sold from the sale of LuViva devices and disposables for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were not material. As of March 31, 2025, we have a deferred revenue balance of $670,305, which will be recognized as revenue when our products are shipped, which is expected to occur in 2025, upon receiving NMPA approval.
Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were $74,122 and $53,554 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $20,568, or 38.4%, was primarily due to additional costs of $28,140 for sponsored research related to our clinical trials during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in sponsored research costs was partially offset by a decline in patent maintenance fees of $7,658.
Sales and Marketing Expenses: Sales and marketing expenses of $72,947 and $72,572 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were materially consistent over the two periods.
General and Administrative Expense: General and administrative expenses were $266,920 and $236,227 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $30,693, or 13.0%, was primarily driven by an increase of $32,463 in fees for professional services (including consultants) and a $4,459 increase in stock option expense. These increases were offset by a decline of $5,000 in property taxes.
Interest Expense: Interest expense was $146,899 and $61,473 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $85,426, or 139.0%, was due to an increase in debt in the current period versus the prior.
Change in fair value of derivative liability: The change in the fair value of our derivative liability resulted in a gain of $52,890 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change in the fair value was attributed to changes in our forecasted stock price and a decrease in the amount of convertible debt.
Gain (Loss) from Extinguishment of Debt: We recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $16,291 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was due to a loss of $31,928 for exchanges of debt for common stock and warrants, offset by a gain $15,637 for forgiveness of debt from our creditors. We recognized a gain from extinguishment of debt of $16,659 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 which was due to forgiveness of debt from our creditors.
Other Income: We recognized other income of $98,090 and $1,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we reached an agreement with SMI to apply their payment $180,000 towards reimbursement of certain expenses incurred during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. As a result of this agreement, we recognized $180,000 of deferred revenue in other income. This income was offset by a $84,000 loss recorded for the write-off of a long-term asset.

Preferred Stock Dividends: Expense related to preferred stock dividends of $37,559 and $38,907 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was materially consistent over the two periods.
Net Loss: Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $462,742 and $441,372 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The reasons for the increase in our net loss are outlined above.
There was no income tax benefit recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024, due to recurring net operating losses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Going Concern Considerations
We have incurred significant losses since our inception. At March 31, 2025, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $5.1 million, accumulated deficit of $154.2 million, and incurred a net loss including preferred dividends of $0.5 million for the three months then ended. Stockholders’ deficit totaled approximately $5.0 million at March 31, 2025, primarily due to recurring net losses from operations.
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
Over the next 12 months we expect our burn rate to increase somewhat as we increase headcount, especially for meeting manufacturing demand. In addition, although we have significant inventory, we will need to order additional parts and services for production. Finally, we expect to spend another $300 thousand to complete and file our US FDA study. Thus, we estimate that approximately $2.5 million will be needed to fund the business over the next 12 months. However, other than completing and filing the US FDA study results, additional expenditures for manufacturing production will be needed only if significant product is ordered and paid for in advance by customers, which is our current policy.
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 March 31, 2025, we had cash of approximately $115 thousand and negative working capital of $5.1 million. Our outstanding debt obligations include a combination of short- and long-term promissory notes, insurance premium financing, and several convertible notes with varying maturities, interest rates, and terms.
Promissory Notes
As of March 31, 2025, have a long-term note issued to a former employee in April 2024 with a remaining principal balance of $65,182, of which $24,000 is classified as short-term. This note accrues interest at 6% per annum and matures on May 5, 2028. Scheduled monthly payments of $2,000 are being made in accordance with the agreement.
Additionally, we entered into a premium finance agreement in July 2024 to fund insurance policies totaling $129,556. Monthly payments of $12,025 are due until the maturity of the note in May 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the outstanding balance on this financing arrangement was $23,962.

Convertible Debt:
Our convertible debt obligations as of March 31, 2025 include the following:
| · | A $1.13 million 10% Senior Unsecured Convertible Debenture, which matured on May 17, 2024, is currently in default and accruing interest at the default rate of 18%. Total accrued interest on this note was $154,810 as of March 31, 2025. The entire balance is classified as short-term convertible debt in default. |
|
|
|
| · | Two convertible notes with Diagonal Lending LLC totaling $162,150 in principal, issued in June and July 2024, have remaining balances of $30,517 as of March 31, 2025, net of $4,586 in unamortized discounts and issuance costs. These notes carry embedded conversion features that have been bifurcated and recorded as derivative liabilities. Payments on these notes are due monthly through May 2025. |
|
|
|
| · | A $200,000 convertible note issued to Flynn D. Case Living Trust, amended in December 2024, now provides for two $75,000 payments due in June and December 2025, and a final $50,000 payment in June 2026. The note includes multiple embedded conversion options with variable pricing terms, which have been bifurcated and accounted for as derivative liabilities. As of March 31, 2025, $66,634 in unamortized debt discounts remain, and $7,733 in interest has accrued. |
|
|
|
| · | A convertible note held by Auctus Fund LLC had an outstanding balance of $15,000 as of March 31, 2025. The note has accrued interest of $116,787 and is classified as short-term debt. |
These convertible instruments, especially those with variable conversion pricing or embedded features, may result in significant dilution to existing stockholders if converted to equity. Additionally, several of the notes include default provisions or change of control clauses that may accelerate repayment obligations or increase total amounts due.
Related Party Debt
As of March 31, 2025, we also had multiple outstanding obligations to related parties, including current and former directors and executives:
| · | During 2024, the Company issued $75,000 in promissory notes to members of the Board of Directors, which included 75,000 common stock warrants. As of March 31, 2025, $50,000 of these notes and $2,602 in accrued interest were exchanged for common stock and warrants. The Company recognized a $31,928 loss on extinguishment related to the exchange. |
|
|
|
| · | Dr. Mark Faupel and Dr. Gene Cartwright held promissory notes originally issued in 2018 and most recently amended in 2023 and 2025. As of March 31, 2025, Dr. Cartwright’s $0.3 million note was overdue, while Dr. Faupel’s $0.2 million note was extended to mature in February 2026. |
|
|
|
| · | A note issued to Richard Fowler in 2021 had a remaining principal balance of $33,753 as of March 31, 2025. The note carries a 6% interest rate and is being repaid in monthly installments. Mr. Fowler has forgiven portions of the deferred compensation related to this note, which was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. |
Summary of our Cash Flows
Our major cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted of cash used for operating activities of $331 thousand, proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants of $205 thousand and payments of debt of $147 thousand.
Our major cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted of cash used for operating activities of $100 thousand and payments of debt of $46 thousand.
The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the timing of payments associated with our accounts payable and accrued liabilities and a $179 thousand decrease to deferred revenue in the current period. The $104 thousand increase in cash provided by financing activities was attributed to $205 thousand of proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants in a private placement offering during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was offset by an $101 thousand increase in debt payments during the three months ended March 31, 2025 versus the three months ended March 31, 2024.
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 March 31, 2025, 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 March 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
