Summary of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

  Description of Business

 

 

BioCardia, Inc. (we, us, our, BioCardia or the Company), is a clinical-stage company focused on developing cellular and cell-derived therapeutics for the treatment of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases with significant unmet medical needs. Our CardiAMP® autologous mononuclear cell therapy platform is being advanced in pivotal trials for two clinical indications: ischemic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and refractory angina resulting from chronic myocardial ischemia (CMI). Our allogeneic mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy platform is being advanced as an “off the shelf” cell therapy for two clinical indications: the treatment of ischemic HFrEF and for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

 

Our autologous and our allogeneic cell therapies intended for cardiac indications are enabled by our Helix™ minimally invasive intramyocardial therapeutic delivery platform. We partner this therapeutic delivery platform selectively with others seeking to develop biotherapeutic interventions for local delivery to the heart.

 

To date, we have devoted substantially all our resources to research and development efforts relating to our therapeutic candidates and biotherapeutic delivery systems including conducting clinical trials, developing manufacturing and sales capabilities, in-licensing related intellectual property, providing general and administrative support for these operations and protecting our intellectual property.

   
 

We manage our operations as a single segment for the purpose of assessing performance and making operating decisions.

Significant Accounting Policies

 

 

(a)

Basis of Preparation

 

   

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows as of March 31, 2025, and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information and on a basis consistent with the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2025, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2025 or for any other interim period or for any other future year.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 26, 2025. 

 

 

(b)

Liquidity  Going Concern

     
   

We have incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $162.8 million as of March 31, 2025. Management expects operating losses and negative cash flows to continue through at least the next several years. We expect to incur increasing costs as we advance our trials and development activities. Therefore, absent additional funding, management believes our cash and cash equivalents of $949,000 as of March 31, 2025 are not sufficient to fund our planned expenditures and meet our obligations beyond July 2025. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern beyond one year from the date these financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

9

  

    Our ability to continue as a going concern and to continue further development of our therapeutic candidates beyond July 2025 will require us to raise additional capital. We plan to raise additional capital, potentially including debt and equity arrangements, to finance our future operations. While management believes this plan to raise additional funds will alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt, these plans are not entirely within their control and cannot be assessed as being probable of occurring. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to reduce operating expenses, delay or reduce the scope of our product development programs, obtain funds through arrangements with others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize, or cease operations.

 

 

(c)

Use of Estimates

     
   

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include clinical accruals, share-based compensation, right-of-use assets and related liabilities, incremental borrowing rate, the useful lives of property and equipment, allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns, and assumptions used for revenue recognition.

 

 

(d)

Principles of Consolidation

     
   

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, BioCardia Lifesciences, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated during the consolidation process.

 

 

(e)

Concentration of Credit Risk

   
   

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. Our cash at times exceeds federally insured limits of $250,000 per customer. On March 31, 2025, approximately 98% of our cash and cash equivalents were held by one financial institution and total amounts on deposit were $684,000 in excess of FDIC insurance limits. We have not recognized any losses from credit risks on such accounts since inception.

 

 

(f)

Changes to Significant Accounting Policies

     
   

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 26, 2025. There have been no changes to those policies.

 

 

(g)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     
    In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This standard calls for enhanced disclosures about components of expense captions on the face of the income statement. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with the option to apply it retrospectively. Early adoption is allowed. Currently, we are assessing the potential impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
     
    Apart from the preceding paragraph, recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on our financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

 

(3)

Fair Value Measurement

 

   

The fair value of financial instruments reflects the amounts that we estimate to receive in connection with the sale of an asset or paid in connection with the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). We follow a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

   

Level 2 – observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Operating Lease Right-of-Use (ROU) Asset, Net

 

   

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception by assessing whether it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Our operating lease relates to a property lease for its laboratory and corporate offices which expires in January 2027. BioCardia’s lease agreement does not contain any material residual guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

 

   

ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Our lease does not provide an implicit rate. We used an adjusted historical incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at the approximate lease commencement date, to determine the present value of lease payments. Variable rent expense is made up of expenses for common area maintenance and shared utilities and were not included in the determination of the present value of lease payments. We have no finance leases.

 

   

Our lease expense was $121,000 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The cash paid under the operating lease for base rent for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $125,000 and $121,000, respectively. On March 31, 2025, the weighted average remaining lease term was 1.84 years, and the weighted average discount rate was 10.74%.

Reverse Stock Split - On May 30, 2024, we effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of our common stock and reduced the authorized common shares from 100,000,000 to 50,000,000. The par value was not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split. All issued and outstanding common stock, warrants, stock options, restricted stock units and per share amounts contained in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented.


February 2024 Financing - On February 9, 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase and Registration Rights Agreement relating to a private placement with certain qualified institutional buyers and institutional accredited investors, which closed on February 13, 2024. Pursuant to the agreement, we sold 134,199 shares of our common stock, and warrants to purchase 67,104 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $6.60 per warrant share, subject to certain adjustments, as provided under the terms of the warrant, which are exercisable at any time before February 13, 2026. The gross proceeds of the Offering were $875,000, with associated issuance costs of $43,000.


At-the-Market (ATM) Offerings – On December 6, 2023, we entered into an “At The Market” offering agreement (the Sales Agreement) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (HCW). Under the Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell our common stock, from time to time having an aggregate offering amount of up to $2.75 million during the term of the Sales Agreement through or to HCW as sales agent or principal. We have filed a prospectus supplement, the ATM Prospectus Supplement, relating to the offer and sale of the shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The offering and sale of the shares will be made pursuant to the Company’s previously filed and effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-275099), which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 19, 2023 and declared effective on December 5, 2023. We have agreed to pay HCW a commission equal to 3% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares and have agreed to provide HCW with customary indemnification and contribution rights.


On December 2, 2024, we filed a prospectus supplement to the ATM Prospectus Supplement that updated the maximum aggregate offering amount to approximately $1.3 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we sold an aggregate of 81,274 and 77,127 shares of common stock under the ATM Offerings at then-market prices for total gross proceeds of $212,000 and $591,000, with associated issuance costs of $27,000 and $32,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $1.1 million of common stock may still be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and fully vested restricted stock units. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. Common stock equivalents are comprised of unvested restricted stock units, warrants to purchase common stock and options outstanding under the stock option plans. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive due to the net loss position.

 

The following outstanding common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented because including them would have been antidilutive:

Income Taxes

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there was no income tax expense or benefit for federal or state income taxes in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations due to our net loss and a full valuation allowance on the resulting deferred tax assets.

 

As of March 31, 2025, we retain a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in all jurisdictions. The realization of our deferred tax assets depends primarily on our ability to generate future taxable income which is uncertain. We do not believe that our deferred tax assets are realizable on a more-likely-than-not basis; therefore, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance.   

 

 

(11)

Contingencies

 

We may be subject to various claims, complaints, and legal actions that arise from time to time in the normal course of business. Management is not aware of any current legal or administrative proceedings that are likely to have an adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Subsequent Events

 

On April 22, 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase and Registration Rights Agreement relating to a private placement with certain qualified institutional buyers and institutional accredited investors, which closed on April 23, 2025. Pursuant to the agreement, we sold 406,818 shares of our common stock, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 406,818 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $1.905 per share, which are exercisable at any time before the earlier of April 24, 2030 or the approval by the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency of our application of our CardiAMP Cell Therapy System. The gross proceeds of the Offering were $775,000 before deducting transaction expenses.

 

During the period from April 1, 2025 to May 13, 2025 we sold an aggregate of 88,888 shares of common stock under the ATM Offerings at then-market prices for total gross proceeds of $234,000. On April 4, 2025, we filed a prospectus supplement that updated the maximum aggregate offering amount that may be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement to approximately $1.8 million.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS          

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set forth in the sections titled Risk Factors and Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements in this Form 10-Q, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.    

 

Overview

 

We are a clinical-stage company developing cellular and cell-derived therapeutics for the treatment of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases with significant unmet medical needs. Our CardiAMP® autologous mononuclear cell therapy platform is being advanced clinically for two cardiac clinical indications based on the mechanism of action of treating microvascular dysfunction demonstrated by these cells in preclinical studies of enhanced microvascular density and reduced fibrosis: ischemic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and refractory angina resulting from chronic myocardial ischemia (CMI). Our allogeneic mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy platform is being advanced clinically as an “off the shelf” cell therapy based on the immunomodulatory mechanism of action for the treatment of ischemic inflammatory HFrEF. Our program for these same cells in acute respiratory distress syndrome has had its investigational new drug (IND) approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but we have not yet advanced this program in the clinic.

 

Our therapeutic candidates intended for cardiac indications are enabled by our Helix™ transendocardial biotherapeutic delivery system, which enables minimally invasive catheter-based intramyocardial therapeutic delivery. We partner this therapeutic delivery platform and provide development services selectively with others seeking to develop biotherapeutic interventions for local delivery to the heart.

 

To date, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to research and development efforts relating to our therapeutic candidates and biotherapeutic delivery systems, including conducting clinical trials, developing manufacturing and sales capabilities, in-licensing related intellectual property, providing general and administrative support for these operations and protecting our intellectual property. We have also generated modest revenues from sales of our approved products. We have funded our operations primarily through the sales of equity and convertible debt securities, and certain government and private grants.

 

CardiAMP Autologous Cell Therapy for Ischemic Heart Failure (BCDA-01)

 

Granted FDA Breakthrough designation, CardiAMP Cell Therapy uses a patient’s own marrow cells delivered to the heart in a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure to potentially stimulate the body’s natural healing response to increase capillary density, reduce tissue fibrosis, and ultimately treat microvascular dysfunction. The mechanisms that lead to microvascular dysfunction, including fibrotic, inflammatory, apoptotic, and endothelial autonomic dysfunction, are all targets of CardiAMP cell therapy, largely through production of growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, and other factors that directly counteract each of these mechanisms. The CardiAMP autologous cell therapy is delivered during a standard minimally invasive catheter-based procedure. Patients are typically discharged after an overnight stay. The cell therapy is designed to promote microvascular repair through enhanced capillary density and reduced fibrosis, both of which have been demonstrated in small and large animal models of disease.

 

CardiAMP Cell Therapy Heart Failure Trial (CardiAMP HF)

 

CardiAMP HF Trial was a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-procedure controlled study of 115 ischemic heart failure patients with HFrEF enrolled at 18 centers in the United States and Canada. The trial assessed the safety and effectiveness of the CardiAMP Cell Therapy System for the treatment HFrEF, an investigational device system that has received Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA. All patients studied were maintained on heart failure medication, with treated patients receiving a single dose of CardiAMP Cell Therapy adjunctive to medication. Two-year results from the trial were presented as a late-breaking clinical trial at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) Scientific Sessions on March 30, 2025, demonstrating increased survival, decreased cardiac events and improved quality of life for treated patients at two years.

 

15

 

We intend to share the two-year data with both the FDA and Japan Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency and align on pathways to make CardiAMP available for physicians and their patients.

 

CardiAMP HF II Phase 3 Trial in Ischemic HFrEF

 

CardiAMP HF II is a 250-patient randomized multicenter procedure placebo-controlled study of the CardiAMP autologous cell therapy as a one-time treatment for patients with ischemic heart failure with HFrEF on guideline directed medical therapy having elevated NTproBNP. The study is intended to confirm the safety and efficacy results in these patients observed in the CardiAMP HF study.

 

The primary endpoint in CardiAMP HF II is an outcomes composite score based on a three-tiered Finkelstein-Schoenfeld hierarchical analysis. The tiers, starting with the most serious events, would be (1) all-cause death, including cardiac death equivalents such as heart transplant or left ventricular assist device placement, ordered by time to event; (2) non-fatal Major Adverse Coronary and Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE), excluding those deemed procedure-related occurring within the first seven days post-procedure (heart failure hospitalization, stroke or myocardial infarction), ordered by time to event, and (3) change from baseline in quality of life at a minimum of 12 months and a maximum of 24 months. In CardiAMP HF, this composite efficacy endpoint was achieved with statistical significance in the subset of patients with elevated NTproBNP that are the focus of the CardiAMP HF II study (p=0.02).

 

Advances in this therapeutic approach in CardiAMP HF II include using the cell population analysis at screening to define treatment doses, which enables more patients to be eligible for the therapy, and improvements to the Helix system, which include the introduction of the FDA approved Morph DNA steerable platform.

 

Patient enrollment in the trial has commenced at three centers in the United States and the first patient was enrolled in April 2025.

 

CardiAMP Autologous Cell Therapy for Chronic Myocardial Ischemia (BCDA-02)

 

CardiAMP Cell Therapy system, under a second FDA approved investigational device exemption, is being studied in a second related clinical indication of chronic myocardial ischemia with refractory angina. This study is based on the strength of our Phase 2 and 3 ischemic heart failure trial data and previous clinical data on CD34+ mononuclear cells in this indication.

 

The CardiAMP Cell Therapy Chronic Myocardial Ischemia Trial is a Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study of up to 343 patients at up to 40 clinical sites. The trial is designed to provide the primary support for the safety and efficacy of the CardiAMP Cell Therapy System for patients with no option chronic myocardial ischemia with refractory angina. These patients experience frequent angina (i.e., chest pain) attacks that are uncontrolled by optimal drug therapy, and these patients are not suitable candidates for stent placement or bypass surgery, leaving them few therapeutic options.

 

Results from the open-label roll-in cohort of patients having chronic myocardial ischemia with refractory angina to date have shown an average 107 second increase in exercise tolerance and an 82% average reduction in angina episodes at the primary six-month follow-up endpoint compared to before receiving the study treatment. The last roll-in cohort patient has recently reached this six-month primary endpoint, and we intend to prepare the primary results of this cohort for publication and presentation.

 

CardiALLO Allogeneic MSC for Ischemic Heart Failure with HFrEF (BCDA-03)

 

The Investigational New Drug application (IND) for a Phase 1/2 trial to deliver our allogeneic MSC for the treatment of HFrEF includes a 3+3 roll-in dose escalation cohort now followed by a 360-patient randomized double-blind controlled study based on a recent IND amendment to right size the study for nondilutive funding opportunities. The study utilizes the Finkelstein Schoenfeld three tier primary composite endpoint of mortality, MACCE, and functional capacity as measured by six-minute walk distance. The low dose cohort of 20 million cells has been completed and there have been no treatment-emergent adverse events, arrhythmias, rejection, or allergic response. The Data Safety Monitoring Board recommended that the study proceed as designed in April 2025 based on the 30-day data safety assessment from this cohort.

 

We intend to fund later development through nondilutive grant applications and partnering. Phase 2 development is anticipated to be advanced in both the United States and Japan and would also enroll in approximately one year.

Helix Biotherapeutic Delivery System

 

The Helix transendocardial biotherapeutic delivery system is a therapeutic-enabling platform for minimally invasive targeted delivery of biologic agents to the heart. Helix empowers a seamless transition from bench to commercialization for partners. Our biotherapeutic delivery partnerships are expected to enhance future treatment options for millions of people suffering from heart disease, offset the costs of biotherapeutic delivery for our own programs, and provide our investors with meaningful revenue sharing should our partnering efforts contribute to successful therapeutic development.

 

Morph® Access Innovations

 

All procedures using our Helix transendocardial delivery system include the use of a Morph steerable introducer. We are actively transitioning all procedures using our Helix transendocardial delivery system to our new FDA cleared Morph DNA platform. We received FDA market clearance of an 8 French equivalent for transseptal cardiac procedures, under the name AVANCE. One of the device’s features is that its tendons are designed to enable deflection rotation around the catheter shaft, providing uniform bending in all directions and a substantial reduction of what is called catheter “whip.” This feature is designed to enhance physician control for many procedures. For procedures in the left ventricle of the heart, such as cell and gene therapy and ablation of ventricular tachyarrhythmia, we believe it presents significant advantages.

 

In July 2024, we completed our planned submission to the FDA for clearance of a Morph-DNA product family across a range of diameters and lengths. This product family was designed for the treatment of aorto-ostial disease, including renal procedures, superior femoral artery procedures, below the knee procedures and mesenteric artery procedures. The FDA approved this product family for market release in August 2024. The first commercial devices in 45 cm and 70 cm in 8 French configurations are now available, with additional models to be available later in 2025.

 

Financial Overview

 

Revenue

 

Our primary revenues are derived from our biotherapeutic delivery partnering agreements. Under these partnering agreements, we provide extensive support and our Helix biotherapeutic delivery system from the research bench to commercialization for partners. We also have begun commercializing our FDA cleared AVANCE and Morph DNA steerable introducer products.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Our research and development expenses consist primarily of:

 

 

salaries and related overhead expenses, which include share-based compensation and benefits for personnel in research and development functions;

   

 

 

fees paid to consultants and contract research organizations, or CROs, including in connection with our preclinical studies and clinical trials and other related clinical trial fees, such as for investigator grants, patient screening, laboratory work, clinical trial management and statistical compilation and analysis;

   

 

 

costs related to acquiring and manufacturing clinical trial materials;

   

 

 

costs related to compliance with regulatory requirements; and

   

 

 

payments related to licensed products and technologies.

 

We expense all research and development costs in the periods in which they are incurred. Costs for certain development activities are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress of completion of specific tasks using information and data provided to us by our vendors and clinical sites. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services to be received in future periods for use in research and development activities are deferred and capitalized. The capitalized amounts are then expensed as the related goods are delivered and the services are received. 

 

We plan to increase our research and development expenses as we continue the pivotal CardiAMP autologous cell therapy trials in heart failure and chronic myocardial ischemia, and begin our allogeneic cell therapy trials in heart failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome. We typically use our employee and infrastructure resources across multiple research and development programs, and accordingly, we have not historically allocated resources specifically to our individual programs. There are also significant synergies between these programs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for employees in executive, finance and administration, sales, corporate development and administrative support functions, including share-based compensation expenses and benefits. Other selling, general and administrative expenses include sales commissions, rent, accounting and legal services, obtaining and maintaining patents, the cost of consultants, occupancy costs, insurance premiums and information systems costs.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other income and expense consist primarily of interest income we earn on our cash and cash equivalents. 

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various judgements that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not clear from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. 

 

We define our critical accounting policies as those that require us to make subjective estimates and judgments about matters that are uncertain and are likely to have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations as well as the specific manner in which we apply those principles. Our critical accounting policies are described in Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 26, 2025, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Revenue. Revenue was $0 in the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $55,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The amount and timing of collaboration revenues is largely dependent on our partners’ development activities and may be inconsistent and create significant variation in our revenues.

 

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased to approximately $1.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to approximately $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to closeout activities in the CardiAMP Heart Failure Trial and the inception of enrollment in the CardiAMP Heart Failure II Trial.  

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to approximately $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to approximately $1.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have incurred net losses each year since our inception and as of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $162.8 million. We anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses for the next several years.

 

We have funded our operations principally through the sales of equity and convertible debt securities. As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $949,000.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Cash flow from operating activities for any period is subject to many variables including the timing of cash receipts, payments to suppliers, and vendor payment terms. Cash flow used in operating activities increased from approximately $1.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 to approximately $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to closeout activities in the CardiAMP Heart Failure Trial and the inception of enrollment in the CardiAMP Heart Failure II Trial.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities of $196,000 and approximately $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related primarily to proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants. 

 

February 2024 Financing On February 9, 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase and Registration Rights Agreement relating to a private placement with certain qualified institutional buyers and institutional accredited investors, which closed on February 13, 2024. Pursuant to the agreement, we sold 134,199 shares of our common stock, and warrants to purchase 67,104 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $6.60 per warrant share, subject to certain adjustments, as provided under the terms of the warrant, which are exercisable at any time before February 13, 2026. The gross proceeds of the Offering were $875,000, with associated issuance costs of $43,000.

 

September 2024 Financing - On August 29, 2024, we entered into securities purchase agreements (the Purchase Agreements) with certain purchasers, pursuant to which we agreed to issue, and sell and the purchasers, in the aggregate to buy, in a public offering (the Registered Offering) (i) 1,377,990 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the Common Stock), and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 1,377,990 shares of Common Stock (the Common Warrants), at an offering price of $3.00 per share of Common Stock and accompanying Common Warrant, and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the Pre-Funded Warrants and together with the Common Warrants the Warrants) to purchase up to 1,022,010 shares of Common Stock and accompanying Common Warrants to purchase up to 1,022,010 shares of Common Stock, at an offering price of $2.999 per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Common Warrant. Certain of the Company’s directors and executive officers purchased an aggregate of 211,000 shares of Common Stock and accompanying Common Warrants. The Registered Offering closed on September 3, 2024, with the Company issuing 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock, including the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, and Common Warrants to purchase 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock. Each Common Warrant is exercisable at a price per share of $3.00 and expires on September 3, 2029. The gross proceeds of the Registered Offering were $7.2 million, with associated issuance costs of $926,00.

 

At-the-Market (ATM) Offerings – On December 6, 2023, we entered into an “At The Market” offering agreement (the Sales Agreement) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (HCW). Under the Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell our common stock, from time to time having an aggregate offering amount of up to $2.75 million during the term of the Sales Agreement through or to HCW as sales agent or principal. We have filed a prospectus supplement, the ATM Prospectus Supplement, relating to the offer and sale of the shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The offering and sale of the shares will be made pursuant to the Company’s previously filed and effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-275099), which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 19, 2023 and declared effective on December 5, 2023. We have agreed to pay HCW a commission equal to 3% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares and have agreed to provide HCW with customary indemnification and contribution rights.

 

On December 2, 2024, we filed a prospectus supplement to the ATM Prospectus Supplement that updated the aggregate offering amount to approximately $1.3 million.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we sold an aggregate of 81,274 and 77,127 shares of common stock under the ATM Offerings at then-market prices for total gross proceeds of $212,000 and $591,000, with associated issuance costs of $27,000 and $32,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $1.1 million of common stock may still be sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

 

On April 22, 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase and Registration Rights Agreement (the 2025 Purchase Agreement) relating to a private placement with certain qualified institutional buyers and institutional accredited investors, as well as certain members of our board of directors and executive officers. Pursuant to the 2025 Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to the investors (i) an aggregate of 406,818 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 406,818 shares of the Company’s common stock at a combined per unit purchase price equal to $1.905 (the 2025 Warrants). To the extent all of the 2025 Warrants are exercised for cash at the exercise price per share of $1.905, we would receive gross proceeds of $774,988.29. There can be no assurance that any of the 2025 Warrants will be exercised by the selling securityholders or that they will exercise the 2025 Warrants for cash instead of using the cashless exercise feature.

 

Future Funding Requirements

 

To date, we have generated modest revenues. We do not know when, or if, we will generate any revenue from our development stage biotherapeutic programs. We do not expect to generate any revenue from sales of our autologous and allogeneic cell therapy candidates unless and until we obtain regulatory approval. At the same time, we expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing development activities, particularly as we continue the research, development and clinical trials of, and seek regulatory approval for, our therapeutic candidates. In addition, subject to obtaining regulatory approval for any of our therapeutic candidates and companion diagnostic, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses for product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. We anticipate that we will need additional funding in connection with our continuing operations.      

 

19

 

Based upon our current operating plan, we believe that the cash and cash equivalents of $949,000 as of March 31, 2025, together with gross proceeds of $775,000 from the private placement in April 2025 and $234,000 from ATM offerings from April 1, 2025 to May 13, 2025 are not sufficient to fund our planned expenditures and meet our obligations beyond July 2025. In order to continue development of our therapeutic candidates beyond such time, we plan to raise additional capital, potentially including non-dilutive collaboration and licensing arrangements, debt or equity financing, or a combination from these sources. We may be unsuccessful in raising funds from any or all such sources, and to the extent we raise any funds, they may be on highly dilutive terms. We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we may use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of our therapeutic candidates, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenditures necessary to complete the development of our therapeutic candidates.

 

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 

 

the progress, costs, results and timing of our autologous CardiAMP Cell Therapy System and allogeneic Neurokinin-1 Receptor Positive clinical trials and related development programs;

 

 

FDA acceptance of our autologous CardiAMP Cell Therapy System and allogeneic Neurokinin-1 Receptor Positive therapies for heart failure and for other potential indications;

 

 

the outcome, costs and timing of seeking and obtaining FDA and any other regulatory approvals;

 

 

the costs associated with securing, establishing and maintaining commercialization and manufacturing capabilities;

 

 

the number and characteristics of product candidates that we pursue, including our product candidates in preclinical development;

 

 

the ability of our product candidates to progress through clinical development successfully;

 

 

our need to expand our research and development activities;

 

 

the costs of acquiring, licensing, or investing in businesses, products, product candidates and technologies;

 

 

our ability to maintain, expand and defend the scope of our intellectual property portfolio, including the amount and timing of any payments we may be required to make, or that we may receive, in connection with the licensing, filing, prosecution, defense and enforcement of any patents or other intellectual property rights;

 

 

the general and administrative expenses related to being a public company;

 

 

our need and ability to hire additional management and scientific, medical and sales personnel;

 

 

the effect of competing technological and market developments; and

   

 

 

our need to implement additional internal systems and infrastructure, including financial and reporting systems.

 

Until such time that we can generate meaningful revenue from our recurring revenue biotherapeutic delivering partnering business model and/or sales of approved therapies and products, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through public or private equity or debt financings, government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements, and other collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements or a combination of these approaches. To the extent that we are able to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interests of our existing common stockholders may be highly diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing common stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include conversion discounts or covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements or other collaborations, or strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs, products, or therapeutic candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.

 

20

 

We have prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Due to the factors described above, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these financial statements are issued. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend, in a large part, on our ability to raise additional capital. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to further reduce operating expenses, delay or reduce the scope of our product development programs, obtain funds through arrangements with others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves, or cease operations. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms and in the amounts necessary to fully fund our operating needs.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may be forced to liquidate assets. In such a scenario, the values received for assets in liquidation or dissolution could be significantly lower than the values reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

During the periods presented, we did not have, nor do we currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 2 of our notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding recent accounting pronouncements that are of significance or potential significance to us.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

There have been no material changes in our market risks during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

 

Our exposure to market risk is currently limited to our cash and cash equivalents, all of which have maturities of less than three months. The goals of our investment policy are preservation of capital, maintenance of liquidity needs, and fiduciary control of cash and investments. We also seek to maximize income from our investments without assuming significant risk or departing from our investment policy. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. Because of the short-term nature of our cash equivalents, we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have a material negative impact on the value of our portfolio.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

As of March 31, 2025, based on current interest rates and total borrowings outstanding, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would have an immaterial pre-tax impact on our results of operations.

 

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Risks

 

We are a U.S. entity and our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The vast majority of our revenues were derived from sales in the United States. We have business transactions in foreign currencies; however, we believe we do not have significant exposure to risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates at this time. We do not currently engage in hedging or similar transactions to reduce our foreign currency risks. We will continue to monitor and evaluate our internal processes relating to foreign currency exchange, including the potential use of hedging strategies.

 

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as of March 31, 2025, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were, in design and operation, effective at a reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

22

 

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company may be subject to various claims, complaints, and legal actions that arise from time to time in the normal course of business. Management does not believe that the Company is party to any current pending legal proceedings. There can be no assurance that existing or future legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

In addition to the risk described below and the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results, are incorporated by reference herein. The risks described in this report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed periodically with the SEC are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

 

If we do not regain compliance with or continue to satisfy the Nasdaq continued listing requirements, our securities could be delisted from the Nasdaq.

 

The listing of our securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market (Nasdaq) is contingent on our compliance with the Nasdaq’s conditions for continued listing. We are currently not in compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements. On April 1, 2025 we received written notice from the Nasdaq (the Notice) which provided that, based on the Company’s stockholders’ equity of $837,000 as of December 31, 2024, we are no longer in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $2.5 million for continued listing on the Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). We have until May 16, 2025 to provide Nasdaq with a plan to regain compliance with the foregoing listing requirement. If our plan to regain compliance is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from April 1, 2025 for us to provide evidence of compliance. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock and the common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol “BCDA.”

 

We intend to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. In determining whether to accept the plan, Nasdaq will consider such things as the likelihood that the plan will result in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing criteria, our past compliance history, the reasons for our current non-compliance, other corporate events that may occur within Nasdaq’s review period, our overall financial condition and public disclosures. If the Nasdaq does not accept our plan, we may request a hearing, at which hearing we would present its plan to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

 

If we fail to regain compliance, our securities will be subject to delisting by the Nasdaq. In the event our securities are no longer listed for trading on Nasdaq, our trading volume and share price may decrease and we may experience further difficulties in raising capital, which could materially affect our operations and financial results. Further, delisting from the Nasdaq could have other negative effects, including potential loss of confidence by partners, lenders, suppliers and employees and could also trigger various defaults under our financing arrangements and other outstanding agreements. Finally, delisting could make it harder for us to raise capital and sell securities. In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, our common stock. You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

None.

 

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

 

None.

 

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

 

Not applicable.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, none of our directors or executive officers adopted or terminated any Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or any non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).
