(the "Company" or "Vycor," also referred to as "us", "we" or "our"). Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things, (a) our projected sales, profitability, and cash flows, (b) our growth strategies, (c) anticipated trends in our industries, (d) our future financing plans and (e) our anticipated needs for working capital. They are generally identifiable by use of the words "may," "will," "should," "anticipate," "estimate," "plans," "potential," "projects," "continuing," "ongoing," "expects," "management believes," "we believe," "we intend" or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology.

Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report may turn out to be inaccurate. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks or uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under "Risk Factors" and matters described in this Form 10-Q generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this filing will in fact occur. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new information, future events, or otherwise. We intend that all forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbor provisions of the PSLRA.
1. Organizational History
The Company was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of New York on June 17, 2005 as "Vycor Medical LLC". On August 14, 2007, we converted into a Delaware corporation and changed our name to "Vycor Medical, Inc." ("Vycor"). The Company's listing went effective on February 2009 and on November 29, 2010 Vycor completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of NovaVision, Inc. ("NovaVision") and on January 4, 2012 Vycor, through its wholly-owned NovaVision subsidiary, completed the acquisition of all the shares of Sight Science Limited ("Sight Science"), a previous competitor to NovaVision.
2. Overview of Business
Vycor is dedicated to providing the medical community with innovative and superior surgical and therapeutic solutions and operates two distinct business units within the medical device industry. Vycor Medical designs, develops and markets medical devices for use in neurosurgery. NovaVision provides non-invasive rehabilitation therapies for those who have vision disorders resulting from neurological brain damage such as that caused by a stroke. Both businesses adopt a minimally or non-invasive approach. The Company leverages joint resources across the divisions to operate in a cost-efficient manner.
Vycor Medical
Vycor Medical designs, develops and markets medical devices for use in neurosurgery. Vycor Medical's ViewSite Brain Access System ("VBAS") is a next generation retraction and access system. Vycor Medical is ISO 13485:2016 and MDSAP (Medical Device Single Audit Program) certified, and VBAS has U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance and CE Marking for Europe (MDD Class III) for brain and spine surgeries, and regulatory approvals in other international markets.
NovaVision
NovaVision provides non-invasive, computer-based rehabilitation therapies targeted at people who have impaired vision as a result of stroke or other brain injury.
Strategy
The Company is continuing to execute on a plan to achieve revenue growth. The strategy for Vycor Medical includes: increasing market penetration in the US; increasing international growth in territories where we are not represented or under-represented; continued new product development in response to market demands and demonstrating applicability in a broader range of pathologies; and adding products complementary to VBAS where the Company is able to leverage its existing distribution network.
Given NovaVision's resources, and the large size and diversity of its end markets, we believe that the most efficient way to tackle the distribution of its patient and professional products is by partnering with entities that have either direct access to the end users or the technological capability to leverage the NovaVision therapy platform, particularly in digital health and into non-medical areas. Management is also open to a broad range of alternatives for NovaVision as a whole, which could comprise distribution and marketing partnerships, licensing, merger or sale.

Liquidity and Plan of Operations, Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since its inception, although generated net income of $20,108 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and has not generated sufficient positive cash flows from operations. As of March 31, 2026 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $4,297,001 which includes related party liabilities of $3,833,138. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As described earlier in this ITEM 1 "Strategy", the Company is executing on a plan to achieve a growth in revenues. Included within the working capital deficiency above is a term note for $300,000 to EuroAmerican Investment Corp. ("EuroAmerican"), together with accrued interest of $580,866 which has a maturity date of June 30, 2026, having been extended on a number of occasions from its initial due date of June 11, 2011. At this time, it is not known whether any further extension of the note beyond June 30, 2026 will be available. However, the Company believes it may not have sufficient cash to meet its various cash needs through May 31, 2027 unless the Company is able to obtain additional cash from the issuance of debt or equity securities. Fountainhead, the Company's largest shareholder, has provided working capital funding to the Company on an as-needed basis, although there is no guarantee that this will continue to be the case. The Company may consider seeking additional equity or debt funding, although there is no assurance that this would be available on acceptable terms or at all. If adequate funds are not available, the Company may have to delay or curtail development or commercialization of products or cease some of its operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of its unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires it to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our senior management has reviewed the critical accounting policies and estimates with our Board of Directors. For a description of the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to "Part II-Item 7-Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and require management's most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. If actual results were to differ significantly from estimates made, the reported results could be materially affected. There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
