VYOME THERAPEUTICS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(All amounts are in US Dollars except per share data and as stated otherwise)
1. Organization and principal activities
a) Business:
Vyome Therapeutics, Inc. (“VTI”), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on August 22, 2017. VTI was formed with the intent of operating the R&D business of Vyome Biosciences India Private Limited, India (the “R&D Business”), which was transferred to Vyome Therapeutics Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of VTI) pursuant to a Demerged order of National Company law Tribunal (“NCLT”) in India, formally consummated in December 2018. VTI and the wholly owned subsidiary in India, Vyome Therapeutics Limited (“VTL”) are collectively referred to as the “Company” or “Vyome”. “R&D business” is defined as novel drug development in the area of immune-inflammatory diseases space and the commercial exploitation of the same.
The Company is a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based clinical-stage specialty pharmaceutical company working to treat immune-inflammatory and rare diseases of unmet need with next-generation therapeutic solutions. The lead program VT-1953, a topical gel with a novel molecule to treat signs and symptoms of Malignant Fungating wounds, is a potential orphan drug program. The Company is planning to have discussions with the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) on the pivotal trial protocol in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company had initiated a Phase II investigator-initiated trial for VT-1953. The Company also has a Pre-Investigative New Drug application stage ophthalmic drops program, a potentially orphan drug program, and a repurposed immune modulator to treat steroid-sparing anterior uveitis. Another late clinical-stage program, VB 1953, for moderate to severe inflammatory acne has successfully completed its Phase II clinical trial, and this program is Phase III ready. The Company may experience delays in the conduct of clinical trials of its candidates. Clinical trials can be delayed for a variety of reasons, including delays in obtaining regulatory approval to commence a clinical trial, in securing clinical trial agreements with prospective sites with acceptable terms, in obtaining institutional review board approval to conduct a clinical trial at a prospective site, in recruiting patients to participate in a clinical trial or in obtaining sufficient supplies of clinical trial materials. Any delays in completing the Company’s clinical trials will increase its costs, slow down its product development, timeliness, and approval process, and delay its ability to generate revenue.
The Company is also developing other assets for treating immune-inflammatory diseases, which are in pre-clinical or early clinical development.
The Company also has commercialized novel reformulated topical anti-fungal products using its patented technology after two such products successfully completed clinical testing in India. The Company has entered into a licensing and marketing agreement with the Sun Pharma group of companies in India (“Sun Pharma”) to sell a family of novel topical anti-fungal products owned by the Company. The Company used third-party entities to manufacture the products. In December 2024, the above arrangement was terminated.
The Company has entered into a Development and Licensing agreement for Luliconazole (an anti-fungal product) with Sun Pharma for additional development and commercialization in India. Sales of Luliconazole commenced in the third quarter of 2023 by Sun Pharma.
Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all its efforts to drug development, business planning, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, acquiring operating assets, and raising capital. The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, successful development of technology, obtaining additional funding, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, risks of failure of pre-clinical studies, clinical studies and clinical trials, the need to obtain marketing approval for its drug candidates and its consumer products, fluctuations in operating results, economic pressure impacting therapeutic pricing, dependence on key personnel, risks associated with changes in technologies, development by competitors of technological innovations and the ability to transition from pilot scale manufacturing to large scale production.
b) Merger Transaction:
The Company signed a definitive merger agreement (“Merger”) with ReShape Lifesciences, Inc. (“ReShape”) in July 2024, and such transaction was completed on August 14, 2025. Immediately prior to the Merger, ReShape sold substantially all of its assets and operations to a third-party. Immediately prior to the Merger, all of the convertible notes and preferred stock of the Company were converted into shares of common stock. As a result of the Merger, the Board of Directors and management team of ReShape resigned, the Board of Directors and management of the Company were installed, and the Company became a Nasdaq-listed company. The combined company changed its name to Vyome Holdings, Inc. (the “Combined Company”) and will focus on Vyome’s business of advancing the development of its immuno-inflammatory assets and on identifying additional opportunities in the world-class US-Indian innovation corridor for the global market.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods and may not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The information as of June 30, 2025, and for the six months ended June 30, 2025, is unaudited, whereas the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, is derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the year. Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year’s financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.
Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
In August 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a 5,000 – 1 reverse stock split. All share and per share numbers have been updated to reflect such a reverse stock split.
b) Segments
The Company organized its operations into two operating segments. The segments reflect the way the Company evaluates its business performance and manages its operations by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for making decisions, allocating resources, and assessing performance. The Company’s CODM has been identified as the chief executive officer. The Company determined it has in two operating segments: (1) Sale of Products and (2) Biotechnology segment. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies. See Note 14.
As the Company’s long-lived assets, except for the intangible asset and deferred offering costs, are substantially all located in India, and all of the Company’s revenue and expenses related to the sale of products are derived from within India, no geographical segments are presented.
c) Basis of Consolidation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, VTL. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
d) Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company has generated a net loss of $ 602,732 and $ 593,132, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets by approximately $ 6 million. The Company’s major sources of funds to date have been through the sale of preferred stock and the issuance of convertible debt. As a result of the Merger transaction and concurrent financing as described in Note 16, the Company believes it has sufficient funds to finance the operating requirements for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company may be able to access a financing facility that ReShape had in place to sell shares of common stock of the public company (ATM facility) under certain circumstances. Further, the Company will be able to determine the timing of when planned clinical and pre-clinical operations will commence.
Obtaining additional financing to support the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of drug development and operations and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations, is necessary for the Company to continue operations. The Company will continue to seek funds through debt or equity financings, marketing and distribution arrangements, and other collaborations, strategic alliances, and licensing arrangements, or other sources of financing. However, there can be no assurances that such financings or other strategic transactions will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds, it will need to do one or more of the following:
| ● | Delay clinical trials and processes; |
| ● | License third parties to develop and commercialize products or technologies that it would otherwise seek to develop and commercialize itself; |
| ● | Seek strategic alliances or business combinations; |
| ● | Attempt to sell the Company; |
| ● | Cease operations; or |
| ● | Declare bankruptcy |
The Company continues to raise additional capital through the issuance of convertible notes. The Company is in discussions with investment bankers to raise additional capital in the public or private markets. There is no assurance that such financing can be completed. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is implementing plans to reduce expenses and seek additional financing. However, there can be no assurance that these plans will be successful. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.
e) Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results, as determined at a later date, could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates used in preparing these audited consolidated financial statements include the realization of deferred tax assets, timing of the recognition of research and development costs, fair value of debt and equity-based instruments, and future obligations under employee benefit plans.
f) Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The Company also operates in India, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between the US dollar and the Indian Rupee.
The Company’s functional currency is the United States Dollar. The functional currency of its Indian subsidiary is Indian National Rupees. Consequently, revenues and expenses of operations of the Indian subsidiary are translated into United States Dollars using average period exchange rates, while assets and liabilities of the Indian subsidiary are translated into United States Dollars using the year-end exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet dates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of functional currency financial statements to reporting currency are accumulated and reported as a part of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Resulting gains or losses from the settlement of such foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are expressed in functional currency at the historical exchange rates. Losses resulting from foreign currency transactions amounting to ($12) and $84 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 respectively are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss under the caption selling, general and administrative expenses.
g) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains its cash balances in financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At various times during the year, such balances may exceed the FDIC limit. The Company has not experienced any credit losses associated with its balances in such accounts. Cash held in the U.S. bank account as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was approximately $247,585 and $ 3,197, respectively. Cash held in India as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, was approximately $135,801 and $98,707, respectively.
h) Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable is generally recorded at the invoiced amounts, net of an allowance for expected losses. The Company establishes credit terms for new customers based upon management’s review of their credit information and project terms and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, adjusting credit terms when management believes appropriate based upon payment history and an assessment of the customer’s current credit worthiness. The Company follows Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which removed all current thresholds and requires entities under the new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to recognize an allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost basis of a financial instrument and the amount of amortized cost that an entity expects to collect over the instrument’s contractual life. The new CECL model is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Management determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
i) Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment, is stated as net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, summarized as follows:
| Computers and software. | 3 years | |

Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are disposed of, the assets and related allowances for depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.
j) Goods and Service Tax and Other Credits Receivable
The Company has indirect tax credit carry-forwards arising in India, which may be utilized or refunded as VTL generates sales to third parties or invoices to VTI pursuant to intercompany transfer pricing arrangements. The Company expects to utilize these indirect tax credit carry-forwards over a 4-to-5-year period.
k) Intangible Assets
On August 21, 2021, Vyome acquired the majority of the outstanding shares (purchase of substantially all of the outstanding shares of preferred stock) of Livechain, Inc., (“LICH”) for $220,000. The total costs of the asset acquisition were $314,191. LICH is an inactive non-reporting shell (“Shell Company”) that trades on the bulletin board under the ticker symbol LICH. As of the date of the transaction and through June 30, 2025, LICH had no operations. LICH did not meet the definition of a business and therefore, was accounted for as an asset acquisition of the shell company, a single indefinite-lived asset.
Intangible assets with indefinite lives (i.e., non-reporting shell) are not amortized; rather, they are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances exist that would make it more likely than not that an impairment exists.
l) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates all long-lived assets for impairment annually, or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount is not fully recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the carrying amount to fair value and is charged to expense in the period of impairment. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, management has determined that these assets are not impaired.
m) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
| ● | Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer; |
| ● | Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
| ● | Step 3: Determine the transaction price; |
| ● | Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| ● | Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company records sales of its dermatological products to the pharmaceutical company when performance obligations with customers are satisfied. The Company’s performance obligation is a promise to transfer a distinct good to the customer and each distinct good represents a single performance obligation. Such performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time and revenues are recognized when all rights and rewards of ownership are transferred. The majority of the Company’s products are shipped by common carriers resulting in recognition of revenues upon shipment at which time control passes to the customer. Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the transferring of products. Customers may be entitled to cash discounts, typically denoted at the time of invoicing and shipping. Such amounts are considered to be variable consideration under ASC 606. An estimate for cash discounts is included in the transaction price as a component of sales and is estimated based on the satisfaction of outstanding receivables and historical performance. The Company does not have any material financing terms as payment is received shortly after the transfer of control of the products to the customer within a period of 30-60 days.
Net service fee payment and agent fees for sales of products made by Sun Pharma are recorded as service fee revenue in the period earned.
Pursuant to licensing and marketing contracts, the Company receives payments from its pharmaceutical company marketing partner for the right to distribute the products (“royalties”). Such royalty payments are linked to the net sales value of the products by its marketing partner to third parties and are recognized in the period to which the royalty relates. Such amounts are recorded under Revenue from operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operation and Comprehensive Loss.
The Company recognizes milestone payments under the license and marketing agreements when all performance obligations related to the identified performance obligations are completed.
n) Cost of products sold
The cost of products sold represents the cost of manufacturing the products supplied by third-party manufacturers.
o) Research and Development Expenses
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses consist of internal and external expenses. Internal expenses include employee compensation and overheads. External expenses include development, clinical trials, statistical analysis and report writing, and regulatory compliance costs incurred with clinical research organizations and other third-party vendors. At the end of the reporting period, the Company compares payments made to third-party service providers to the estimated progress toward completion of the research or development objectives. Such estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Depending on the timing of payments to the service providers and the progress that the Company estimates have been made as a result of the service provided, the Company may record net prepaid or accrued expenses relating to these costs. Payments made to third parties that perform research and development services on the Company’s behalf are expensed as services are rendered, or as contractually agreed.
p) Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock options granted to employees and non-employees at fair value, which is measured using the Black-Scholes Option pricing model. The fair value measurement date for employee awards is the date of the grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grant, generally equal to the vesting period and uses the straight-line method to recognize stock-based compensation.
The Company’s policy is to account for forfeitures of awards when they occur in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The Company reverses compensation cost previously recognized, in the period the award is forfeited, for an award that is forfeited before completion of the requisite service period.
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which incorporates assumptions and estimates to value options granted. Estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value measurement include the fair value per share of the underlying stock issuable upon exercise of the options, expected life of the options, risk-free interest rate, expected dividend yield, and expected volatility from peer public companies of the price of the underlying stock.
As the Company’s common stock has not been publicly traded, its board of directors periodically estimated the fair value of the Company’s common stock considering, among other things, contemporaneous valuations of its common stock prepared by an independent valuation firm in accordance with the guidance provided by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants 2013 Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. The expected life of the stock options in years is estimated using the “simplified method,” as prescribed in SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, as the Company has no historical information from which to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behaviour for its stock option grants. The simplified method is the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term of the option. For stock price volatility, the Company uses comparable public companies as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of option grants. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve commensurate with the expected life of the option. The expected dividend yield is zero as the Company has no history of paying dividends and no plans to do so in the near term.
q) Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Valuation allowances are recognized to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considers all available evidence for each jurisdiction including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income and the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies. When the Company changes its determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, the valuation allowance is adjusted with a corresponding impact to income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made.
The Company also accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. This guidance prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in the Company’s income tax returns. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that affected its financial position and its results of operations or its cash flows and will continue to evaluate for uncertain tax positions in the future. There are no interest costs or penalties provided for in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024. If at any time the Company should record interest and penalties in connection with income taxes, the interest, and the penalties will be expensed within the general and administrative expenses category in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
r) Leases
ASC Topic 842, “Leases”, establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. Lessor accounting under the new standard is substantially unchanged. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures are also required.
The Company adopted the following practical expedients and accounting policies elections related to this standard:
| ● | Short-term lease accounting policy election allowing lessees to not recognize ROU assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less; option to not separate lease and non-lease components in the Company’s lease contracts; and |
| ● | The package of practical expedients applied to all of its leases, including (i) not reassessing whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) not reassessing the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) not reassessing the capitalization of initial direct costs for any existing leases. |
Disclosures related to the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases are included in Note 12.
s) Notes Payable
The Company has elected to account for notes payable to a shareholder using the fair value option in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 825-10-25. The fair value option provides an option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets, financial liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments, and written loan commitments. See Note 8 for additional information. ASC 815-40-65-1(d) also allows a reporting entity to make a one-time irrevocable election to apply the fair value option in ASC 825-10 as of the date of adoption for any liability classified convertible securities that are within the scope of ASC 825-10. The impact of electing the fair value option would be reflected through a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance as of the beginning of the first reporting period a reporting entity adopted ASU 2020-06.
t) Fair Value Measurements
The Company considers its cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable to meet the definition of financial instruments, and the carrying amounts of such instruments approximated their fair values due to the short maturities of these instruments. The Company records the convertible debt at fair value.
The Company measures fair value as required by the ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 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.
As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, there exists a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| Level 1 - | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. |
| Level 2 - | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. |
| Level 3 - | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability are only used when there is little if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. |
The Company utilizes a Probability Weighted Expected Return Model (“PWERM”) to value the convertible debt and promissory notes. The quantitative information with respect to valuation methodology and significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s convertible debt that is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy included the discount rate and expected financing date. The other factors used in the calculation of fair value are contractual terms of the convertible note and promissory note instruments.
The following table sets forth the financial liabilities, measured at fair value, by level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024
| June 30, 2025 |
December 31, 2024 |
|||||||
| Level 3 | ||||||||
| Convertible debt | $ | 4,034,381 | $ | 3,589,410 | ||||
| Promissory notes – ReShape | $ | 424,247 | ||||||
u) Basic and diluted net loss per common share
Net loss per share information is determined using the two-class method, which includes the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and other securities that participate in dividends (a “participating security”). The Company considered its Preferred Stock to be participating securities because the shares included rights to participate in dividends with the common stock.
Under the two-class method, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The net loss attributable to common stockholders is calculated by adjusting the net loss of the Company for the accretion on the Preferred Stock. Net losses are not allocated to preferred stockholders as they do not have an obligation to share in the Company’s net losses. In periods with net income attributable to common stockholders, the Company would allocate net income first to preferred stockholders based on dividend rights under the Company’s certificate of incorporation and then to preferred and common stockholders based on ownership interests. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using the more dilutive of (1) the two-class method or (2) the if-converted method.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, diluted earnings per common share is the same as basic earnings per common share because, as the Company incurred a net loss during each period presented, the potentially dilutive securities from the assumed exercise of all outstanding stock options would have an anti-dilutive effect. The dilutive shares as of June 30, 2025, and 2024, not included in the loss per share calculation, include 3,076 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of preferred stock; and 279 and 293 shares of common stock potentially issuable under stock options at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The number of shares potentially issuable upon conversion of the debt is not currently calculable and would be anti-dilutive.
v) Post Employment benefits
The Subsidiary in India has a defined benefit gratuity scheme for its employees in India. This gratuity scheme provides for lump sum payment in accordance with the provisions of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 to vested employees at retirement or death while in employment or on termination of employment of an amount equivalent to 15 days basic salary payable for each completed year of service or part thereof in excess of three months subject to a limit of INR 2,000,000 (equivalent to approximately $ 24,000). Vesting occurs upon completion of 5 years of continuous service.
Accumulated compensated absences, which are expected to be encashed within 12 months from end of the year, are treated as short-term employee benefits. The obligation towards the same is measured at the expected cost of accumulating compensated absences as the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement at the end of the year. Actuarial gains or losses are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in the year in which they arise.
w) Recent accounting pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB and are early adopted by the Company or adopted as of the specified effective date. There were no recent accounting pronouncements that impacted the Company or are expected to have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company accounted for this debt extinguishment as a capital contribution since the liability was with related parties. Accordingly, the difference between the liability extinguished of $1,115,232 and the fair value of the stock options issued ($379,950) of $ 735,282 is considered a capital contribution.
8. Convertible debt and Promissory Notes- ReShape
Convertible Debt
Commencing in October 2020, the Company began raising money under a compulsorily convertible promissory note (the “Promissory Notes”) pursuant to a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”). The Promissory Note was issued as part of a private placement (the “Offering”) for the sale of up to $2,395,542 (which was subsequently expanded) of secured convertible promissory notes (collectively, the “Promissory Notes”) for a period until three years of maturity. The Promissory Notes bear interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, on a non-compounding basis, and are due and payable on the earlier of (i) the date upon which the Promissory Notes are converted into equity securities of the Company, or (ii) at maturity in three (3) years (“Maturity Date”). Significant conversion terms of the Promissory Notes are as follows:
a) In the event that the Company issues and sells shares of its equity securities (“Equity Securities”) to investors (the “Investors”) prior to the Maturity Date in an equity financing with total proceeds to the Company of not less than $10,000,000 (excluding the conversion of the Promissory Notes or other convertible securities issued for capital raising purposes (e.g., Simple Agreements for Future Equity) (a “Qualified Financing”), then the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any unpaid accrued interest shall automatically convert in whole without any further action by the Holder into Equity Securities sold in the Qualified Financing at a conversion price equal to the cash price per share paid for Equity Securities by the Investors in the Qualified Financing multiplied by 0.75 in some notes or 0.8 in some other notes; provided, that if such Qualified Financing is also a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, restated, and otherwise in effect from time to time, the “Certificate of Incorporation”), shall govern with respect to the conversion of this Note. The issuance of Equity Securities pursuant to the conversion of this Note shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to Equity Securities sold in the Qualified Financing. Notwithstanding this paragraph, if the conversion price of the Notes as determined pursuant to this paragraph (the “Conversion Price”) is less than the price per share at which Equity Securities are issued in the Qualified Financing, the Company may, solely at its option, elect to convert this note into shares of a newly created series of preferred stock having the identical rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions as Equity Securities issued in the Qualified Financing, and otherwise on the same terms and conditions, other than with respect to (if applicable): (i) the per share liquidation preference and the conversion price for purposes of price-based anti-dilution protection, which will equal the Conversion Price; and (ii) the per share dividend, which will be the same percentage of the Conversion Price as applied to determine the per share dividends of the Investors in the Qualified Financing relative to the purchase price paid by the Investors. For the avoidance of doubt, such newly created series of preferred stock described in the preceding sentence shall be pari passu with the Equity Securities issued in the Qualified Financing.
b) If the Company consummates a transaction that is a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) while this Note remains outstanding, then the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any unpaid accrued interest shall, immediately prior to the closing of such Deemed Liquidation Event, automatically convert in whole without any further action by the Holder into shares of a newly created series of preferred stock (“New Senior Preferred Stock”) at a conversion price equal to the Original Issue Price (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) for the most senior series of preferred stock of the Company outstanding at such time (the “New Senior Preferred Conversion Price”). The New Senior Preferred Stock shall have the identical rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions as the most senior series of preferred stock of the Company outstanding at the time of such conversion, other than with respect to: (i) the per share liquidation preference, which shall be equal to two (2) times in some notes three (3) times in the other notes the New Senior Preferred Conversion Price; (ii) the conversion price for purposes of price-based anti-dilution protection, which will equal the New Senior Preferred Conversion Price; and (iii) the per share dividend, which will be the same percentage of the New Senior Preferred Conversion Price as applied to determine the per share dividends of the holders of the most senior series of preferred stock of the Company outstanding at such time relative to the Original Issue Price for such shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the New Senior Preferred Stock shall be senior to the most senior series of preferred stock of the Company outstanding at such time and shall be pari passu with all other securities into which compulsory convertible notes issued by the Company convert.
c. If this Note has not otherwise been converted pursuant to the above transactions, then, effective as of the Maturity Date, all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under this Note shall be automatically converted into Senior D Preferred Stock, at a conversion price equal to the New Senior Preferred Conversion Price.
During 2023 and through June 2025, certain Notes that had reached their maturity date were extended by an additional year. In connection with such extension, the conversion rate was amended from 0.80 to 0.75, and liquidation preference was amended from three times to two times in clause (b). All other terms remained the same. The Company accounted for such extension as a modification of the debt instrument. From April to September 2024, seven Notes have matured, out of which two noteholders converted to Series D Preferred stock at maturity as per the terms of the Notes. In August 2024, two Convertible Notes with an aggregate principal plus accrued interest of $ 434,077 were converted into 22 shares of Series D preferred stock at $19,450 per share. No other Convertible Notes have been converted through June 30, 2025. All remaining Convertible Notes were converted into common stock as a result of the Merger – see Note 16.
In July 2024, the Company began offering investors the opportunity to participate in a Securities Purchase Agreement providing investors the right to certain equity instruments and other equity rights in the Company and its subsidiary in India, some of which are dependent upon the completion of the Merger. An aggregate of 34 investors agreed to participate in such financing through June 30, 2025, for an aggregate of approximately $7.3 million, of which approximately $ 659,542 was received through June 30, 2025, in the form of bridge notes. The bridge notes have similar terms to the above convertible notes, except that there is a one-year maturity and is convertible at a 30% discount to the Merger valuation. The remainder of the committed funds were placed in an escrow account six to seven days before the Merger; however, these funds have not been received as of June 30, 2025. These funds were received in August 2025 – see Note 16.
The fair value amount of the convertible debt and accrued expense is summarized as follows:

Promissory Notes - ReShape
The Company entered into a note payable with ReShape for $400,000, of which payments under such note were received in several instalments from April 16, 2025, to June 5, 2025. The note bears interest at 8% per annum, is senior to the convertible notes and matures on September 30, 2025. If the Merger Agreement is terminated due to the Company’s failure to close on the Concurrent financing that is already committed, then the promissory note will become senior in right of payment to all other debt of the Company and will become a secured obligation of the Company. The promissory notes could convert into shares of common stock of the Company at the implied valuation of the transaction at the Merger date. On June 30,2025, the Company borrowed an additional $200,000 from ReShape pursuant to the same terms. Changes in the fair value of the Convertible Notes for the six months ended June 30, 2025, are summarized as follows:

The significant terms of the preferred stock, are as follows:
Preferred stock carries an 8% cumulative preference dividend, payable when declared by the Board of Directors. No dividend has been paid on any series of preferred stock as of June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, cumulative dividends in arrears for all classes’ preferred shares were approximately $19,700,000 and $18,100,000, respectively.
Each share of preferred stock shall be convertible at the option of the holder, without the payment of additional consideration, into units of common stock at the conversion price as defined in the shareholders’ agreement. The conversion price is subject to adjustment in the event of subsequent issuance of common stock at a lower price than the original conversion price. Each series preferred stock is mandatorily convertible into common stock at the conversion price as defined in the shareholders’ agreement on the occurrence of an initial public offering (IPO).
In the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, all classes of preferred stockholders would be entitled to receive, in preference to common shareholders, an amount equal to the original issue price plus accrued and unpaid dividends. All series of preferred stock rank pari passu with each other in terms of liquidation preference except series B1 and C1. Part of the amount invested by series B1 and C1 preferred stock as mentioned in the shareholders’ agreement ranks junior to other preferred stockholders, however, rank pari passu with each other. After the liquidation preference payments to all classes of preferred stockholders have been met, preferred shareholders have unlimited right to participate on a prorated basis with common shareholders.
Holders of the preferred stock shall be entitled to elect 5 members of the Board of Directors and also hold certain protective rights with respect to significant corporate transactions as defined. Each holder of common stock shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each share held.
10. Stock-Based Compensation
On December 14, 2018, the Company authorized an Employee Stock Option Plan 2018 (‘ESOP plan’) under which 344 (post-split) shares of common stock were reserved/authorized by the Company for issuance to directors, consultants, and employees of the Company. The ESOP plan entitles directors, consultants, and employees of the Company to purchase common stock for each option of the Company at a stipulated price, subject to compliance with vesting conditions i.e. employees remaining in employment during the vesting period and director and consultants to continue rendering services during the vesting period. The options of directors and consultants vest as per the schedule prescribed in the grant letter. These can be exercised any time after the vesting period and during their tenure with the Company. However, the exercise period lapses ninety (90) days after the employee, director or consultant leaves the Company.
The Company recognized $ Nil and $ Nil of stock-based compensation expense (which is included in research and development expenses) in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The fair value of stock-based compensation transactions is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Measurement inputs include share price on the measurement date, the exercise price of the instrument, expected volatility (based on weighted average historic volatility for a duration equal to the weighted average life of the instruments, life based on the average of the vesting and contractual periods for employee awards as minimal prior exercises of options in which to establish historical exercise experience), and the risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds). Service and performance conditions attached to the transactions, if any, are not considered in determining fair value. The expected life of the stock options is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. The Company is a private company and lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock volatility based on the historical data regarding the volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies. The expected term of stock options granted to non-employees is between 5 and 7 years. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award.
Stock-based compensation expense attributable to equity awards granted to employees is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for awards that vest, which is generally the period from the grant date to the end of the vesting period. Stock-based awards provided to non-employees are measured and expensed as the services are provided and are remeasured at each reporting period until these stock options vest. There were no stock options granted in the first quarter of 2025. In June 2024, the Company granted options to purchase 131 shares of common stock in settlement of accrued compensation (see Note 7). There was no expense recorded for these stock option grants since these were issued in lieu of previously recognized compensation.
The Company has estimated the fair value of the 2024 stock option awards as of the date of grant by applying the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the Company used the following assumptions:
| Risk- free interest rate | 5.2 | % | ||
| Expected term | 5 years | |||
| Expected volatility | 76 | % | ||
| Expected dividends | 0 | |||
| Grant date fair value of common stock | $ | 4,500 |

As of June 30, 2025, there is no future compensation cost to be recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss related to stock options granted through June 30, 2025. The intrinsic value of vested and outstanding stock options was approximately $429,000.
11. Income taxes
Both VTI and VTL generated a current taxable loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, and therefore the only current income taxes payable were certain minimum taxes. The effective tax rate for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 was NIL and differs from the federal statutory income tax rate of 21% principally due to the full valuation allowance recognized against deferred income tax assets, and to a lesser extent due to different tax rates in the jurisdiction of VTL and certain non-deductible expenses for income tax purposes.
As of December 31, 2024, VTI has net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $19.3 million in the United States, which shall expire as follows: $7.4 million has no expiry, $10.2 million expiry in 2039 and $1.7 million expiry in 2038. At December 31, 2024, VTL has approximately $4.8 million of net operating loss carry-forwards. Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the availability of the Company’s net operating loss carry-forwards may be subject to annual limitations against taxable income in future periods, which could substantially limit the eventual utilization of such carry-forwards. The Company has not analyzed the historical or potential impact of its equity financings on beneficial ownership and therefore no determination has been made whether the net operating loss carry-forward is subject to any Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limitation. To the extent there is a limitation, there would be a reduction in the deferred tax asset with an offsetting reduction in the valuation allowance.
12. Leases
The Company leases offices and laboratory space in India which were automatically extended for two one-year periods ending December 2026 with monthly payments ranging from $2,500 to $2,900 per month. The Company has an intention to renew the leases through December 2026 as allowed under the lease agreement. In the U.S., the Company has month-to-month shared space arrangements, and therefore there is no requirement to record a right to use asset and related liability.
Operating leases are presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as right-of-use assets, net, operating lease liabilities – current portion, and operating lease liabilities, net of current portion. The assets and liabilities from our leases are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s incremental borrowing rates. Short-term leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet. As the Company’s operating leases do not provide implicit rates, the Company has utilized its incremental borrowing rate, determined based on the long-term borrowing costs of companies with similar credit profiles, to record its lease obligations. For operating leases, the Company recognizes the minimum rental expense on a straight-line basis based on the fixed components of a lease arrangement. The Company will amortize this expense over the term of the lease beginning with the lease commencement date.
If the Company renews the lease for the entire three-year period, as expected, the annual lease payments will be approximately $32,000, and $34,000 in the years ending December 31, 2025 and 2026, respectively. The following table presents information about the amount and timing of liabilities arising from the Company’s operating leases as of June 30, 2025:
| Lease payments – From July 2025 to December 2025 | $ | 15,821 | ||
| Lease payments – 2026 | 34,014 | |||
| Total undiscounted operating lease payments | 49,835 | |||
| Less: Imputed interest | (2,754 | ) | ||
| Present value of operating lease liabilities | $ | 47,081 | ||
| Current portion of lease liability | $ | 30,353 | ||
| Long-term portion of lease liability | 16,728 | |||
| Total lease liability | $ | 47,081 |

| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||
| Weighted average remaining lease term in years | 1.5 | 2.0 | ||||||
| Weighted average discount rate | 8.0 | % | 8.0 | % | ||||
The Right of Use Asset on June 30, 2025, of $45,388 will be amortized over the 1.5 years remaining under the lease term. The Right of Use Asset balance on December 31, 2024, was $59,387. Rent expense was approximately $24,000 and $19,900 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
13. Commitments and contingencies
a) CRO contract
In December 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with a Contract Research Organization (“CRO”) for services to be rendered with respect to the phase 2B clinical trials for the VB-1953 product. During 2022, the Company and the CRO signed a definitive agreement to convert the liability of $1,680,210 into shares of 86 shares of Series D preferred shares (based upon the then estimated fair value of such shares), however, the shares were not issued. In June 2024, the Company increased its authorized shares of preferred stock and issued 86 shares of Series D preferred stock to settle this liability.
b) Employee Benefits – Gratuity
The Company has a defined benefit gratuity scheme for its employees in India. This gratuity scheme provides for lump sum payment in accordance with the provisions of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 to vested employees at retirement or death while in employment or on termination of employment of an amount equivalent to 15 days basic salary payable for each completed year of service or part thereof in excess of six months subject to a limit of INR 1,000,000 (equivalent to approximately $12,000). Vesting occurs upon completion of 5 years of continuous service. A roll forward of the liability balance for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:
| Six months ending |

| Currency translation differences | (71 | ) | (292 | ) | ||||
| End of the six months | $ | 78,708 | $ | 84,721 | ||||
c) Employee Benefits – Leave Encashment
Accumulated Compensated absences or paid leave encashment, which are expected to be encashed within 12 months from the end of the year and are treated as short-term employee benefits. The obligation towards the same is measured at the expected cost of accumulating compensated absences as the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement at the end of the year. Actuarial gains or losses are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in the year in which they arise. A roll forward of the liability balance for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

| Currency translation differences | (69 | ) | (271 | ) | ||||
| End of the six months | $ | 77,550 | $ | 83,374 | ||||
d) Employee Benefits – Provident Fund
In accordance with Indian law, all employees in India are entitled to receive benefits under the ‘Provident Fund’, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the employee and the employer make monthly contributions to the plan at a predetermined rate (presently at 12%) of the employee’s basic salary. These contributions are made to the fund which is administered and managed by the Government of India. The Company’s monthly contributions to the above-mentioned plans are charged to consolidated statements of operations loss in the year they are incurred and there are no further obligations under the plan beyond those monthly contributions. The Company’s contribution towards the Provident Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $790 and $810, respectively.
e) Litigation
From time to time, the Company is involved in various disputes, claims, liens and litigation matters arising out of the normal course of business which could result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s combined financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had no outstanding claims or litigation and had no liabilities recorded for loss contingencies.
14. Segments
The Company operates in two segments – the sale of products and licensing/service income in India (“Pharmaceutical Segment”) and the development of biotechnology products (“Biotechnology Segment”), with substantially all of the resources of the Company focused on its biotechnology activities. The Company purchases substantially all of the products for the Pharmaceutical Segment from a third-party manufacturer. Other income items relate to corporate financing activities outside of these two segments. Reporting by segment is summarized as follows:

Exhibit 99.2
VYOME MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is to allow investors to view the Company from management’s perspective, considering items that would have a material impact on future operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and related notes thereto attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current plans, expectations and beliefs that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including those discussed in the sections captioned “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed by ReShape Lifesciences Inc. on October 1, 2024, as subsequently amended.
Overview
The Company is a Cambridge, MA/Princeton, NJ/ New Delhi, India-based clinical-stage specialty pharmaceutical company working to treat immune-inflammatory and rare diseases of unmet need with next-generation therapeutic solutions, with a business advantage of the US-India innovation corridor. The lead program, VT-1953, is a topical gel that is being developed to treat signs and symptoms of malignant fungating wounds, a potentially orphan drug designation program. The Company is planning to have discussions with the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) on a pivotal trial protocol in the first quarter of 2026. The Company also has a Pre-Investigational New Drug application stage ophthalmic drops program, a potentially orphan drug program, VT-1908, a repurposed immune modulator to treat steroid-sparing anterior uveitis. Another late clinical-stage program, VB1953, for moderate to severe acne, has completed its Phase II clinical trial, and this program is Phase 3 ready.
The Company may experience delays in the conduct of clinical trials of its candidates. Clinical trials can be delayed for a variety of reasons, including delays in obtaining regulatory approval to commence a clinical trial, in securing clinical trial agreements with prospective sites with acceptable terms, in obtaining institutional review board approval to conduct a clinical trial at a prospective site, in recruiting patients to participate in a clinical trial or in obtaining sufficient supplies of clinical trial materials. Any delays in completing the Company’s clinical trials will increase its costs, slow down its product development, timeliness, and approval process, and delay its ability to generate revenue.
The Company also has commercialized two novel reformulated topical anti-fungal products based on the technology platform of Molecular Replacement Therapeutics (“MRT”) in India — a dandruff lotion and shampoo. The Company has entered into a licensing and marketing agreement with Sun Pharma Laboratories Limited (“Sun Pharma”) to sell such topical anti-fungal products in India. The Company used third-party entities to manufacture the products. During 2023, the Company amended its arrangement with Sun Pharma such that the Company will no longer be responsible for purchasing and selling inventory of the products, but instead will receive a net service fee payment for sales of such products made by Sun Pharma. One of the agreements for the supply of dandruff products to Sun Pharma is terminated in December 2024. The Company has also entered into an agreement with Sun Pharma for the development and licensing of MRT technology-based Luliconazole topical cream for skin fungal diseases for the Indian market.
The Company operates in two segments, biotechnology and pharmaceutical. Our biotechnology segment comprises our operations around our VT-1953, VT-1908, and VB-1953 programs that are in development, and our pharmaceutical segment comprises our antifungal products.
Since inception, our operations have focused on organizing and staffing our biotechnology segment, business planning, raising capital, acquiring and developing our technology, establishing our intellectual property portfolio, identifying potential product candidates, undertaking pre-clinical and clinical studies and manufacturing. We do not have any products approved for sale and have not generated any revenue from product sales from the biotechnology segment. Our pharmaceutical segment represents the operations of a legacy business, and after the 2023 amendment to our licensing agreement with Sun Pharma, requires little further effort on our part. From inception through June 30, 2025, we raised an aggregate of approximately $37.5 million of gross proceeds through the sale and issuance of our preferred stock and common stock, approximately $ 2.9 million from the sale of convertible notes, and $600,000 from the issuance of promissory notes to ReShape Lifesciences Inc shortly prior to the Merger.
Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. Our net loss was $602,732 and $593,132 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We had an accumulated deficit of $56,025,476 as of June 30, 2025. We expect to continue to incur significant and increasing expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future, as we advance our current and future product candidates through pre-clinical and clinical development, manufacturing of our drug product and drug supply, regulatory approval for our current and future product candidates, maintenance and expansion of our intellectual property portfolio, hiring of additional research, development and business personnel and operations as a public company.
We will not generate revenue from product sales for our biotechnology segment unless and until we successfully complete clinical development and obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates. In addition, if we obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates and do not enter a third-party commercialization partnership, we expect to incur significant expenses related to developing our commercialization capability to support product sales, marketing, manufacturing, and distribution activities.
As a result, we will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. Until we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of public or private equity offerings and debt financings or other sources, such as potential collaboration agreements, strategic alliances, and licensing arrangements. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other agreements or arrangements when needed on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such agreements as, and when needed, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
As of June 30, 2025, we had a cash balance of $383,386 and have operated under an austerity plan for several years. We received the proceeds from the issuance of $191,253 in convertible notes and $600,000 in promissory notes from ReShape during the six months ended June 30, 2025. We believe that our existing cash and with the anticipated net proceeds from the Concurrent Financing, described below, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Recent Developments
Merger Agreement
On July 8, 2024, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with ReShape Lifesciences Inc., and Raider Lifesciences Inc., a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of ReShape (“ReShape”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified therein, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Vyome, with Vyome surviving as a subsidiary of ReShape (the “Merger”). Such a transaction was completed on August 14, 2025. Immediately prior to the Merger, Reshape sold substantially all of its assets and operations to a third-party. Also, immediately prior to the Merger, all of the convertible notes and preferred stock of the Company were converted into shares of common stock. As a result of the Merger, the Board of Directors and management team of Reshape resigned, the Board of Directors and management of the Company were installed, and the Company became a Nasdaq-listed company. The combined company changed its name to Vyome Holdings, Inc. (the “Combined Company”) and will focus on Vyome’s business of advancing the development of its immuno-inflammatory assets and on identifying additional opportunities in the world-class US-Indian innovation corridor for the global market.
Concurrent Financing
Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, ReShape, Vyome, and Vyome’s wholly-owned subsidiary Vyome Therapeutics Limited (“Vyome India”) entered into agreements with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the investors have agreed to purchase up to approximately $6.9 million in securities of ReShape, Vyome and Vyome India (the “Concurrent Financing”). As part of the Concurrent Financing, an aggregate of 34 accredited investors agreed to participate in such financing through August 2025, for an aggregate of approximately $7.3 million, of which approximately $660,000 was received through June 30, 2025, in the form of bridge notes. The price per share for the common stock of the Combined Company will be calculated as a 30% discount to the price per share of the common stock for the agreed upon valuation of the combined company obtained by dividing (i) the sum of $130,000,000 and Reshape Net Cash by (ii) the sum of Total Reshape Outstanding Shares and Vyome Merger Shares. Reshape and the investors also entered into registration rights agreements which provide for certain registration rights to the investors, including the filing of a registration statement that includes the shares of common stock purchased by the investors, within 45 days of the closing of the Merger. Simultaneously with the execution of the subscription agreements, Vyome entered into a securities purchase agreement with each investor pursuant to which Vyome issued to each investor a convertible promissory note in the principal amount equal to 5% or more of such investor’s total agreed upon investment amount, which convertible notes will bear interest at 8% per annum and immediately prior to completion of the Merger will convert into a number of shares of common stock of the Combined Company equal to 100% of the outstanding principal and interest of the convertible notes divided by the price per share of common stock of the Combined Company to be purchased in the Concurrent Financing, as set forth above. ReShape and the investors are executing and delivering the subscription agreements in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Upon completion of the Merger, the remaining funds of approximately $6.9 million under the concurrent financing were received by the Company.
In August 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a 5,000 – 1 reverse stock split. All share and per share numbers have been updated to reflect such a reverse stock split.
Expected Use of Proceeds
The expected use of proceeds represents current intentions based on present plans and business conditions. The Combined Company currently expects to use the approximately $ 5.0 million in cash immediately after the completion of the Merger for up to fifteen months, and the use of proceeds as follows after deducting estimated transaction expenses of approximately $1.7 million:
| ● | approximately $2.0 million for continued research and development towards regulatory work and pivotal trial of VT-1953 for the therapeutic indication of treating malodor in malignant fungating wounds; |
| ● | approximately $500,000 for continued advancement of VT-1908 into IND filing and Phase1/2 trial; and |
| ● | The remainder is for general corporate purposes. |
The specific allocation of the expected cash immediately after the completion of the Merger towards specific programs will depend on, among other things, results from the Combined Company’s research and development efforts for each program, the timing and success of its pre-clinical and clinical studies and the timing and outcome of regulatory submissions. However, based on the Combined Company’s current planned use of the cash immediately after the completion of the Merger and after deducting estimated transaction expenses, such funds are estimated to be sufficient to enable the Combined Company to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through the initiation of pivotal trial for VT-1953 product candidate for nine months after Merger Closing (subject to submission of regulatory filing and authorization to proceed), as well as other potentially value-creating milestones for VT-1908 in 2025. This estimate is based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and the Combined Company could use its expected capital resources sooner than currently anticipated.
The Combined Company does not expect the proceeds from the Concurrent Financing and Vyome’s existing cash will be sufficient for it to advance any of its programs through regulatory approval, and the Combined Company will need to raise additional capital to complete the development and potential commercialization of any of its programs. The Combined Company may also use a portion of its cash to acquire, in-license, or invest in products, technologies, or businesses that are complementary to its business.
Components of Results of Operations
Although we operate in two segments, all of our revenue relates to the pharmaceutical segment, and substantially all of our costs relate to the biotechnology segment. See the “Segments” footnote in our Financial Statements.
Revenue
We recorded sales of pharmaceutical products until October 2023. During 2023, the Company amended its arrangement with Sun Pharma such that the Company will no longer be responsible for purchasing and selling inventory of the dandruff lotion and shampoo, but instead will receive a net service fee payment for sales of such products made by Sun Pharma. This arrangement was terminated in December 2024. We have a development and licensing agreement for MRT technology-based Luliconazole topical cream product for skin fungal diseases, from where we get revenues from milestone payments, royalties and the sale of a proprietary ingredient. These payments are recorded as service fee revenue in the period earned. We have occasionally received payments for milestones specified under the license of our products to Sun Pharma, but do not expect to receive any significant further milestone payments. We expect to continue to receive a minor amount of royalties under such licenses. Such revenues are part of our pharmaceutical segment.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist of (i) research and development expenses, and (ii) cost of goods sold and (iii) general and administrative expenses.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for our research and development activities, including our product candidate discovery efforts and pre-clinical and clinical studies under our research programs, which include:
| ● | employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense for our research and development personnel; |
| ● | costs of funding research performed by third parties that conduct research and development and pre-clinical and clinical activities on our behalf; |
| ● | costs of manufacturing drug product and drug supply related to our current or future product candidates; |
| ● | costs of conducting pre-clinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates; |
| ● | consulting and professional fees related to research and development activities, including equity- based compensation to non-employees; |
| ● | costs of maintaining our laboratory, including purchasing laboratory supplies and non-capital equipment used in our pre-clinical studies; |
| ● | costs related to compliance with clinical regulatory requirements; and |
| ● | facility costs and other allocated expenses, which include expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, insurance, depreciation and other supplies. |
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Costs for certain activities are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as information provided to us by our vendors and analyzing the progress of our pre-clinical and clinical studies or other services performed.
The successful development of our product candidates is highly uncertain. We cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing, and estimated costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete development of our current or future product candidates. We are also unable to predict when, if ever, material net cash inflows will commence from the sale of our product candidates, if they are approved. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing product candidates, including the uncertainty of:
| ● | the scope, rate of progress, and expenses of our ongoing research activities as well as any pre-clinical studies and clinical trials and other research and development activities; |
| ● | establishing an appropriate safety profile; |
| ● | successful enrollment in and completion of clinical trials; |
| ● | whether our product candidates show safety and efficacy in our clinical trials; |
| ● | receipt of marketing approvals from applicable regulatory authorities; |
| ● | establishing commercial manufacturing capabilities or making arrangements with third-party manufacturers; |
| ● | obtaining and maintaining patent and trade secret protection and regulatory exclusivity for our product candidates; |
| ● | commercializing product candidates, if and when approved, whether alone or in collaboration with others; and |
| ● | continued acceptable safety profile of the products following any regulatory approval. |
A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of our current and future product candidates would significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of those product candidates.
Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. We expect research and development costs to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we commence clinical trials and continue the development of our current and future product candidates. However, we do not believe that it is possible, at this time, to accurately project expenses through commercialization. There are numerous factors associated with the successful commercialization of any of our product candidates, including future trial design and various regulatory requirements, many of which cannot be determined with accuracy at this time based on our stage of development. Additionally, future commercial and regulatory factors beyond our control will impact our clinical development programs and plans.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold represents the costs to obtain products from the third-party manufacturer of our pharmaceutical products and proprietary ingredients sold to Sun Pharma.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include salaries and other compensation-related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel in executive, finance and accounting, business development, operations and administrative roles. Other significant costs include insurance costs, professional fees, travel costs, facility and office-related costs, not included in research and development expenses.
We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as our business expands to support expected growth in research and development activities, including our future clinical programs. These increases will likely include increased costs related to the hiring of additional personnel and fees to outside service providers, among other expenses. In addition, if we obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates and do not enter into a third-party commercialization collaboration, we expect to incur significant expenses related to building a sales and marketing team to support product sales, marketing and distribution activities.
We also anticipate increased expenses associated with being a public company upon consummation of the Merger, including costs for audit, legal, regulatory and tax-related services related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, and listing standards applicable to companies listed on a national securities exchange, director and officer insurance premiums, and investor relations costs.
Interest Expense
Interest expense results from the stated interest rates under our convertible notes. Borrowings under the notes carry an 8% coupon interest rate.
Fair value adjustment
We record our convertible notes at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the convertible notes are recognized as a component of other income.

Revenue
The Company derives revenues from the sale of products, including royalties related to sales of such products, and from the license of our technology. Substantially all revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 were derived from one customer, Sun Pharma, based in India. During 2023, the Company amended its arrangement with Sun Pharma such that the Company will no longer be responsible for purchasing and selling inventory of the dandruff lotion and shampoo, but instead will receive a net service fee payment for sales of such products made by Sun Pharma. This arrangement was terminated in December 2024. We have a development and licensing agreement for MRT technology-based Luliconazole topical cream product for skin fungal diseases, from where we get revenues from milestone payments, royalties and the sale of a proprietary ingredient. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are summarized as follows:

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $170,329 and $151,049 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $19,280 was primarily due to:
| ● | Our compound VB-1953 completed its Phase 2 clinical trial for inflammatory acne in 2020, and we have been focused since then on organizing our plans to commence the pivotal trial of the same compound for a different program, VT-1953, for treating malodor in malignant fungating wounds, once sufficient funding is secured. |
| ● | Our pre-clinical programs have proceeded more slowly than we expected due to a lack of available funding. However, during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we had some minimal R&D work related to VT-1953 program. |
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $525,020 and $404,375 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $120,645 was primarily due to an increase in legal, accounting, auditing and related professional fees associated with preparing for the Merger and preparation of quarterly reports.
Interest expense
Interest expense was $111,093 and $107,487 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase was driven by additional convertible note borrowings by the Company.
Fair value adjustment
The fair value adjustment related to the fair value of the convertible notes was favorable/(unfavorable) $30,511 and $(17,996) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in 2025 the fair value was primarily due to changes in the assumptions used for the six months ended June 30, 2025, to calculate the fair value, including the likelihood and timing of a “qualified financing” which would trigger a conversion of the convertible notes, under their terms.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 indicated:
For the six months ended June 30,
| Net cash provided by (used in): | 2025 | 2024 | Change | |||||||||

| Net (decrease) increase in cash | $ | 281,481 | $ | 132,381 | $ | 149,100 | ||||||
Operating Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $500,536, consisting primarily of net losses of $602,732 less the non-cash charge for interest and the loss on the fair value adjustment of convertible note debt of $108,476 and $(30,511), respectively, an increase in accrued compensation and post-employment benefits of $66,913, a decrease in other assets of $31,644, an increase in due from affiliates of $50,000 and an increase in accounts payable of $96,325.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $237,051, consisting primarily of net losses of $593,132 less the non-cash charge for interest expense of $92,200 and an increase in accrued compensation and post-employment benefits of $127,223, offset by the loss on fair value adjustment of convertible debt of $17,996 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $102,969.
During 2025 and 2024, we have primarily used the proceeds of the sale of our convertible notes to incrementally develop our biotechnology products and prepare the Company for an offering of its securities and activities related thereto. We have operated under an austerity program for several years, delaying projects and payments until sufficient funds could be raised. We also settled certain liabilities in 2024 for accrued compensation and a vendor payment by issuing stock or stock options. We had $383,386 of cash at June 30, 2025.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash provided by financing activities was $782,005 from the sale of convertible notes. consisting primarily of approximately $191,253 from the sale of convertible notes, $600,000 from the issuance of promissory notes by ReShape and $(9,248) of advances from affiliates. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash provided by financing was $370,941, consisting primarily of approximately $339,999 from the sale of convertible notes and $30,942 of advances from affiliates.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity/Going Concern
Since our inception, we have funded our operations through the sale and issuance of preferred and common stock and convertible notes. From inception through June 30, 2025, we raised an aggregate of approximately $37.5 million in gross proceeds from sales of our equity securities (the last of such offering occurred in December 2018), and approximately $2.9 million in gross proceeds from our convertible notes.
In October 2020, we offered for sale an 8%, interest bearing convertible promissory note to investors, which provide for a three-year term from the date of issuance, unless earlier converted. This has been our primary source of funding since 2020. We received $791,253 and $340,000 from the sale of our convertible notes during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Through June 30, 2025, eight of our convertible notes, were extended by an additional year. In connection with such extension, the conversion rate was amended from 0.80 to 0.75 of the price paid by investors in a qualified offering, as defined in the convertible notes, and the liquidation preference, in the event the Company consummates a Deemed Liquidation Event, as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, was amended.
In July 2024, the Company began offering investors the opportunity to participate in a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Concurrent Financing”) providing investors the right to certain equity instruments and other equity rights, some of which are dependent upon the completion of the Merger. An aggregate of 34 investors agreed to participate in such financing through June 30, 2025, for an aggregate of approximately $7.3 million, of which approximately $660,000 was received through June 30, 2025, in the form of bridge notes. The bridge notes have similar terms to the above convertible notes, except that there is a one-year maturity. The remainder of the committed funds was placed in an escrow account six days before the Merger, pending completion of the Merger, and these funds were received in August 2025.
We have converted certain liabilities to vendors, employees, and board members into equity instruments during 2024 — see further discussion below in the sections captioned “Accrued Compensation” and “CRO Contract.”
The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025, and 2024 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Since our inception, we have not generated any revenue from our biotechnology products, and we have incurred significant operating losses. We have not yet commercialized any biotechnology products, and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of any biotechnology product candidates for a number of years, if ever. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we have incurred recurring net losses since our inception. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred a net loss of $602,732 and used cash in operations of $500,536 and had a stockholders’ deficit of $4,993,753 as of June 30, 2025.
As a result of the Merger transaction and concurrent financing as described in Note 16, the Company believes it has sufficient funds to finance the operating requirements for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The Company may be able to access a financing facility that ReShape had in place to sell shares of common stock of the public company (ATM facility for sale of up to $12 million in shares of common stock) under certain circumstances. Further, the Company will be able to the timing of when planned clinical and pre-clinical operations will commence based upon available cash flows.
Obtaining additional financing to support the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of drug development and operations and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations, is necessary for the Company to continue operations. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing, or grant unfavorable terms in licensing agreements.
Funding Requirements
We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue our research and development, initiate and conduct pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, and seek marketing approval for our current and any of our future product candidates. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for any of our current or future product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution, which costs we may seek to offset through entry into collaboration agreements with third parties. Furthermore, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, upon consummation of the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with our continuing operations. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or future commercialization efforts.
We believe that our existing cash, together with the anticipated net proceeds from the Concurrent Financing, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least 15 months. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we may use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including:
| ● | the costs of conducting pre-clinical studies and clinical trials; |
| ● | the costs of manufacturing; |
| ● | the scope, progress, results and costs of discovery, pre-clinical development, laboratory testing, and clinical trials for product candidates we may develop, if any; |
| ● | the costs, timing, and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates; |
| ● | our ability to establish and maintain collaborations on favorable terms, if at all; |
| ● | the achievement of milestones or occurrence of other developments that trigger payments under any license or collaboration agreements we might have at such time; |
| ● | the costs and timing of future commercialization activities, including product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution, for any of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval; |
| ● | the amount of revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of our product candidates, should any of our product candidates receive marketing approval; |
| ● | the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, obtaining, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights, and defending intellectual property-related claims; |
| ● | our headcount growth and associated costs as we expand our business operations and research and development activities; and |
| ● | the costs of operating as a public company. |
We believe that the net proceeds of the Concurrent Financing, together with our existing cash, will be sufficient to initiate the pivotal trial of our lead candidate, VT-1953, but will not be sufficient to complete the trial and or work on the other indications or the development of any other product candidate. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain further funding to further achieve our business objectives.
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings and debt financings or other sources, such as potential collaboration agreements, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the interests of our stakeholders may be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that could adversely affect the rights of our stockholders. Additional debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include restrictive covenants that limit our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends, that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business.
If we raise funds through potential collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates, or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
Bridge Loan and Convertible Notes
Commencing in October 2020, the Company began raising money through the issuance of compulsorily convertible promissory notes in a private placement offering of up to $2,132,000 until 2023, which was subsequently expanded to approximately $2.9 million and extended through June 30, 2025.
The convertible notes bear interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, on a non-compounding basis, and are due and payable on the earlier of (i) the date upon which the convertible notes are converted into equity securities of the Company, pursuant to the conversion terms of the convertible notes, set forth therein, or (ii) at maturity, which is three (3) years from the date of issuance. The terms of the convertible notes provide for automatic conversion of the outstanding principal and any unpaid accrued interest in the event that the Company issues and sells shares of its equity securities to investors prior, to the maturity date of the convertible notes, for total proceeds to the Company of not less than $10,000,000, at a conversion price equal to the cash price per share paid for the equity securities by the investors in such financing transaction multiplied by 0.75 in the case of some of the convertible notes or 0.8 in the case of other convertible notes.
Through June 30, 2025, certain of our convertible notes were extended by an additional year. In connection with such extension, the conversion rate was amended from 0.80 to 0.75 of the price paid by investors in a qualified offering, as defined in the convertible notes, and the liquidation preference, in the event the Company consummates a Deemed Liquidation Event, as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, was amended. All other terms of the convertible terms remained the same. The Company accounted for such extension as a modification of the debt instrument; however there is no impact on the financial statements as a result of such modification.
In August 2024, two Convertible Notes with an aggregate principal plus accrued interest of $434,077 were converted into 22 shares of Series D preferred stock at $19,450.00 per share. No other Convertible Notes have been converted through June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, several Convertible Notes have reached their maturity date, and the Company had been negotiating further extensions with the noteholders, however as a result of the Merger transaction, all notes were converted to common shares.
In July 2024, the Company and it’s Indian subsidiary began offering investors the opportunity to participate in a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Concurrent Financing”) providing investors the right to certain equity instruments and other equity rights, some of which are dependent upon the completion of the Merger. An aggregate of 34 investors agreed to participate in such financing through June 30, 2025, for an aggregate of approximately $7.3 million, of which $ 660,000 was received through June 30, 2025, in the form of bridge notes. The bridge notes have similar terms to the above convertible notes, except that there is a one-year maturity and is convertible at a 30% discount to the Merger valuation. The remainder of the committed funds was placed in an escrow account six days before the Merger, pending completion of the Merger. These funds were not received until the Merger date in August 2025.
The fair value of the Company’s convertible notes is summarized as follows:

Promissory Notes – ReShape
The Company entered into a note payable with ReShape for $400,000, of which payments under such note were received in several instalments from April 16, 2025 to June 5, 2025. The note bears interest at 8% per annum, is senior to the convertible notes and matures on September 30, 2025. If the Merger Agreement is terminated due to the Company’s failure to close on the Concurrent financing that is already committed then the promissory note will become senior in right of payment to all other debt of the Company and will become a secured obligation of the Company. The promissory notes could convert into shares of common stock of the Company at the implied valuation of the transaction at the Merger date. On June 30,2025, the Company borrowed an additional $200,000 from ReShape pursuant to the same terms. Changes in the fair value of the Convertible Notes for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are summarized as follows:

Interest expense under these ReShape promissory notes was approximately $5,400 for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The fair value of the convertible notes is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, using the inputs below to calculate the fair value. The Company used a probability weighted scenario analysis to determine the fair value of the convertible notes. The risk-free rate used in the analysis is based on the yield on a US Government zero-coupon bond, interpolated for the period that corresponds to the time to liquidity as at the valuation date.

The significant terms of the preferred stock, are as follows:
Preferred stock carries an 8% cumulative preference dividend, payable when declared by the Board of Directors. No dividend has been paid on any series of preferred stock as of June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, cumulative dividends in arrears for all classes’ preferred shares were approximately $19,700,000 and $18,100,000, respectively.
Each share of preferred stock shall be convertible at the option of the holder, without the payment of additional consideration, into units of common stock at the conversion price as defined in the shareholders’ agreement. The conversion price is subject to adjustment in the event of subsequent issuance of common stock at a lower price than the original conversion price. Each series preferred stock is mandatorily convertible into common stock at the conversion price as defined in the shareholders’ agreement on the occurrence of an initial public offering (IPO).
In the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, all classes of preferred stockholders would be entitled to receive, in preference to common shareholders, an amount equal to the original issue price plus accrued and unpaid dividends. All series of preferred stock rank pari passu with each other in terms of liquidation preference except series B1 and C1. Part of the amount invested by series B1 and C1 preferred stock as mentioned in the shareholders’ agreement, ranks junior to other preferred stockholders; however, rank pari passu with each other. After the liquidation preference payments to all classes of preferred stockholders have been met, preferred shareholders have unlimited right to participate on a prorated basis with common shareholders.
Holders of the preferred stock shall be entitled to elect 5 members of the Board of Directors and also hold certain protective rights with respect to significant corporate transactions as defined. Each holder of common stock shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each share held.
Accrued compensation
Accrued compensation payable to the chief executive officer, a board member/consultant of the Company and another consultant was $1,115,232 as of December 31, 2023. In June 2024, these individuals to forgo accrued compensation of $1,115,232 as of December 31, 2023, in exchange for the issuance of stock options for the purchase of 131 shares of common stock. The Company accounted for this debt extinguishment as a capital contribution since the liability was with related parties.
Accordingly, the difference between the liability extinguished of $1,115,232 and the fair value of the stock options issued ($379,950 as determined using a Black Scholes model) of $735,282 is considered a capital contribution, collectively included in the condensed consolidated statement of stockholder’s deficit as “Issuance of shares in settlement of accrued liability”.
CRO contract
In December 2018 as amended in July 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with a Contract Research Organization (“CRO”) for services to be rendered with respect to the phase 2B clinical trials for the Company’s VB-1953 product. Also, pursuant to the July Agreement, the parties agreed that if the balance remained outstanding as of March 2021, then such balance could convert to Series D preferred stock of the Company at Series D preferred conversion price as of the July Agreement date. During 2022, the Company and the CRO agreed by signing a definitive agreement to convert the amount owed of $1,680,210 into 86 shares of Series D preferred stock (based upon the then estimated fair value of such shares). However, the shares were not issued. At that time, in order to issue the shares, the Company would have had to authorize additional shares of its Series D preferred stock in order to consummate the transaction, and accordingly, as of December 31, 2023, $1,680,210 was recorded as a liability to be settled in equity in the consolidated balance sheet. In June 2024, the Company increased its authorized shares of preferred stock and issued the 86 shares of Series D preferred stock to settle this liability.
Due to Affiliates
The amount outstanding to two of our board directors as of June 30, 2025, is $170,098, which is included in the “due to affiliates” in the consolidated balance sheet. There is no interest or scheduled repayment dates for such advances.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We enter into agreements in the normal course of business for sponsored research, pre-clinical studies, contract manufacturing, and other services and products for operating purposes, which are generally cancellable upon written notice.
Licenses, employment agreements or other commitments
The Company leases offices and laboratory space in India, which were extended for a one-year period ending December 2024, with an automatic renewal for two years with monthly payments ranging from $2,500 to $2,900 per month. The Company has an intention to renew the leases for the two additional years allowed under the lease agreement.
We also have offices in Princeton, NJ, and Cambridge, MA, under short-term rentals.
We may enter into contracts in the normal course of business with clinical research organizations for clinical trials and clinical supply manufacturing and with vendors for pre-clinical research studies, research supplies, and other services and products for operating purposes. These contracts generally provide for termination on notice, and therefore, we believe that our non-cancelable obligations under these agreements will not be material.
We also have employment agreements with certain employees and consulting agreements that require the funding of a specific level of payments if certain events, such as a change in control, termination without cause, or retirement, occur. We also have an agreement on Resignation and Separation Letter dated January 11, 2021, Craig Tooman, a past employee, to pay a certain amount on change of control.
Controls and Procedures
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, that company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by that company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness in future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
We have concluded that there were material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. Historically, and as a private company, we had not maintained sufficient resources with various levels of accounting knowledge, experience, and expertise that are commensurate with our prospective financial reporting needs. These material weaknesses relate to the fact that we (1) do not maintain a comprehensive policies and procedures manual designed to establish internal controls over financial reporting to reduce the risk of publishing materially misstated financial statements (2) do not have well defined segregate incompatible duties to reduce the risk of unauthorized transactions, and (3) insufficient accounting expertise to calculate certain technical matters. Collectively, this could result in difficulties in meeting our internal reporting needs and our external reporting requirements and assessing the appropriate accounting treatment for various events and/or circumstances.
Although we have initiated various remediation efforts, we have concluded that the material weaknesses have not been fully remediated. Our remediation efforts to date have included the following:
We have assessed our current accounting personnel, financial reporting, and information system environments and capabilities. Based on our preliminary findings, we have found these resources and systems lacking and have concluded that these resources and systems will need to be supplemented and/or upgraded. We have hired a fractional Chief Financial Officer and, thereafter will implement additional accounting procedures and controls as resources permit.
We engaged external consultants with public company and technical accounting experience to facilitate accurate and timely accounting closes and to accurately prepare and review our financial statements and related footnote disclosures. We plan to retain these financial consultants until such a time that our internal resources have been upgraded and the required financial controls have been fully implemented.
The actions that have been taken are subject to continued review, implementation, and testing by management, as well as audit committee oversight. While we have implemented a variety of steps to remediate these weaknesses, we cannot assure you that we will be able to fully remediate them, which could impair our ability to accurately and timely meet our public company reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective and that material weaknesses exist, we believe that we have employed supplementary procedures to ensure that the consolidated financial statements contained in this filing fairly present our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the reporting periods covered herein in all material respects.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Convertible Promissory Notes
The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record any bifurcated embedded features at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded in earnings each period as non-operating, non-cash income or expense. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. Bifurcated embedded features are recorded at their initial fair values which create additional debt discount to the host instrument.
We have elected to account for the convertible notes to a shareholder using the fair value option in accordance with the guidance contained in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825-10-25. The fair value option provides an option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets, financial liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments, and written loan commitments. See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Stock options
Our company accounted for the issuance of stock options in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. We estimate the fair value of stock option awards granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which uses as inputs the fair value of our common stock and subjective assumptions we make, including expected stock price volatility, the expected term of the award, the risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. Due to the lack of a public market for the trading of our common stock and a lack of company-specific historical and implied volatility data, we base the estimate of expected stock price volatility on the historical volatility of a representative group of publicly traded companies for which historical information is available. The historical volatility is generally calculated based on a period of time commensurate with the expected term assumption. We use the simplified method to calculate the expected term for options granted to employees and directors. We utilize this method as we do not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. For options granted to non-employees, we utilize the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate is based on a U.S. Treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected term of the stock options. The expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero, as we have never paid dividends and do not have current plans to pay any dividends on our common stock. We determine the fair value of common stock awards based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant.
Fair value measurements
FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach, and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, representing the assumptions the buyer and seller use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of our company. Unobservable inputs reflect our company’s assumptions about the inputs the buyer and seller would use to price the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The notes payable party are reported at fair value as the Company elected the fair value option for such note. The key determinants of the fair value of the notes payable is the expected date and type of transaction that would require conversion or repayment of the notes, and the discount rate/term used to compute the present value of such future payments.
The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
| ● | Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that our company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, the valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment. |
| ● | Level 2 — Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by the market through correlation or other means. |
| ● | Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |
Determination of the Fair Value of Equity-Based Awards
As there had been no public market for our common stock prior to the Merger, the estimated fair value of our common stock has been approved by our board of directors, with input from management, as of the date of each award grant, considering our most recently available sale of our common stock to independent investors and our board of directors’ assessment of additional objective and subjective factors deemed relevant that may have changed from the date of the most recent determination through the date of the grant. The additional objective and subjective factors considered by our board of directors in determining the fair value of our common stock included the following:
| ● | the prices of our common stock and preferred stock sold to outside investors in arm’s length transactions, if any, and the rights, preferences and privileges of our preferred stock as compared to those of our common stock, including the liquidation preferences of our preferred stock; |
| ● | the progress of our research and development efforts, including the status of pre-clinical studies and planned clinical trials for our product candidates; |
| ● | the lack of liquidity of our equity as a private company; |
| ● | our stage of development and business strategy and the material risks related to our business and industry; |
| ● | the valuation of publicly traded companies in the biotechnology industry, as well as recently completed mergers and acquisitions of peer companies; |
| ● | any external market conditions affecting the biotechnology industry, and trends within the biotechnology industry; |
| ● | the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an IPO or a sale of our company in light of prevailing market conditions; and |
| ● | the analysis of IPOs and the market performance of similar companies in the biotechnology industry. |
The assumptions underlying our board of directors’ valuation determinations represented our board’s best estimates, which involved inherent uncertainties and the application of our board’s judgment. As a result, if factors or expected outcomes had changed or our board of directors had used significantly different assumptions or estimates, our equity-based compensation expense could have been materially different. Following the completion of this offering, our board of directors will determine the fair value of our common stock based on the quoted market prices of our common stock.
Inflation
Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor. We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024.
Exhibit 99.3
RESHAPE AND VYOME UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On July 8, 2024, ReShape, Vyome, and Merger Sub, entered into the Merger Agreement (“Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified therein, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Vyome, with Vyome surviving as a subsidiary of ReShape. Closing of the Merger occurred on August 14, 2025 (the Effective Time”).
At the Effective Time of the Merger, each Vyome Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the shares that are owned by ReShape, Vyome, or Merger Sub and shares that will be subject to a put-call option agreement with certain stockholders of Vyome located in India) will be converted into the right to receive a number of fully paid and non-assessable ReShape Shares according to an Exchange Ratio determined at least 10 calendar days prior to the ReShape Special Meeting that will result in the holders of such Vyome Shares, together with holders of Vyome securities convertible into Vyome Shares, owning approximately 92.4% of the outstanding ReShape Shares on a fully-diluted basis immediately after the Effective Time.
The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Effective Time, each outstanding stock option or other equity award to purchase capital stock of Vyome will be converted into equity awards to purchase a number of ReShape Shares equal to the number of shares of Vyome Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Vyome equity award multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, with an exercise price, in the case of warrants and stock options, equal to the exercise price of such Vyome option divided by the Exchange Ratio. The exercise price and number of shares will be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, and as applicable, Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder.
Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, ReShape entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement with Biorad (“Asset Sale”). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified therein, ReShape will sell substantially all of its assets (excluding cash) to Biorad, and Biorad will assume substantially all of ReShape’s liabilities, for a purchase price of approximately $1.6 million in cash, net of adjustment based on ReShape’s actual accounts receivable and accounts payable at the closing compared to such amounts as of March 31, 2024. Biorad is party to a previously disclosed exclusive license agreement, dated September 19, 2023, with ReShape for ReShape’s Obalon® Gastric Balloon System. The proforma financials below include the anticipated impact the Asset Sale might have on our combined financial information.
Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, ReShape, Vyome, and Vyome’s wholly- owned subsidiary Vyome Therapeutics Limited (“Vyome India”) entered into agreements with certain existing accredited investors, pursuant to which the investors have agreed to purchase of approximately $7.30 million in securities of ReShape, Vyome and Vyome India (the “Concurrent Financing”), of which approximately $660,000 has been received in the form of bridge notes through the Effective Time. As part of the Concurrent Financing, certain accredited investors have agreed to purchase up to $5.7 million in shares of common stock of the combined company and approximately $930,000 in shares of shares in Vyome India, immediately following completion of the Merger. The price per share for the common stock of the Combined Company will be calculated as a 30% discount to the price per share of the common stock for the agreed-upon valuation of the combined company obtained by dividing (i) the sum of $130,000,000 and ReShape Net Cash by (ii) the sum of Total ReShape Outstanding Shares and Vyome Merger Shares. Simultaneously with the execution of the subscription agreements, Vyome entered into a securities purchase agreement with each investor pursuant to which Vyome issued to each investor a convertible promissory note in the principal amount equal to approximately 5% of such investor’s total agreed upon investment amount, which convertible notes will bear interest at 8% per annum and immediately prior to completion of the Merger will convert into a number of shares of common stock of the combined company equal to 100% of the outstanding principal and interest of the Note divided by the price per share of common stock to be purchased in the financing as set forth above. ReShape and the investors are executing and delivering the subscription agreements in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and contemporaneously with the sale of the shares of common stock will execute and deliver a registration rights agreement in substantially the form attached to the subscription agreement.
The pro forma ownership percentages of the ReShape and Vyome stockholders of the Combined Company of 8.12% and 91.88%, respectively, subject to adjustment as described in this proxy/information statement-prospectus, are prior to taking into account the Concurrent Financing. Therefore, the actual ownership percentages will be different following the completion of the Concurrent Financing, and, because certain of the investors in the Concurrent Financing are existing Vyome stockholders, the actual ownership percentage of the ReShape stockholders will be decreased compared to that of the Vyome stockholders after the closing of the Concurrent Financing.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effects of the Merger. The ReShape and Vyome unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet data combine the ReShape and Vyome historical balance sheets at June 30, 2025. The ReShape and Vyome unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations data assume that the Asset Sale and the Merger closed as of January 1, 2024, and combine the historical results of operations of ReShape and Vyome for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X, as amended.
The Merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under U.S. GAAP since ReShape will have nominal operations and assets at the time of the closing of the Merger. Vyome was determined to be the accounting acquirer based upon the terms of the Merger and other factors including (i) holders of such Shares, together with holders of Vyome securities convertible into Vyome Shares are expected to own 91.62% of the outstanding ReShape Shares on a fully-diluted basis immediately after the Effective Time, (ii) Vyome will hold substantially all of the board seats of the combined company and (iii) Vyome’s management will hold all key positions in the management of the combined company.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on and should be read in conjunction with both Vyome and ReShape Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Vyome and ReShape’s financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this proxy/information statement-prospectus.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position or results of operations that would have been realized had the Merger occurred as of the dates indicated, nor is it meant to be indicative of any future consolidated financial position or future results of operations that the Combined Company will experience. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements combine the historical statements of ReShape and Vyome, the Concurrent Financing undertaken, financings done by ReShape in the third quarter of 2025, and reflects the impact of the sale of substantially all of ReShape’s assets and liabilities to Biorad, for the period on a pro forma basis along with the Merger and related transactions, summarized below. The pro forma adjustments included in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on currently available data and assumptions that management of ReShape believes are reasonable.

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
1. Description of the Merger
On July 8, 2024, ReShape, Vyome, and Merger Sub, entered into the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified therein, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Vyome, with Vyome surviving as a subsidiary of ReShape. Closing of the Merger occurred on August 14, 2025 (the Effective Time”).
At the Effective Time of the Merger, each Vyome Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the shares that are owned by ReShape, Vyome, or Merger Sub and shares that will be subject to a put-call option agreement with certain stockholders of Vyome located in India) will be converted into the right to receive a number of fully paid and non-assessable ReShape Shares according to an Exchange Ratio determined at least 10 calendar days prior to the ReShape Special Meeting that will result in the holders of such Vyome Shares, together with holders of Vyome securities convertible into Vyome Shares, owning 92.4% of the outstanding ReShape Shares on a fully-diluted basis immediately after the Effective Time.
The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Effective Time, each outstanding stock option or other equity award to purchase capital stock of Vyome will be converted into equity awards to purchase a number of ReShape Shares equal to the number of shares of Vyome Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Vyome equity award multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, with an exercise price, in the case of stock options, equal to the exercise price of such Vyome option divided by the Exchange Ratio. The exercise price and number of shares will be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, and as applicable, Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder.
In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement ReShape entered into an agreement with a majority of the holders of its outstanding Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to which the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock agreed, subject to and contingent upon the completion of the Merger and the Asset Sale, to reduce the liquidation preference of the Series C Preferred Stock from $26.2 million to the greater of (i) $1 million, (ii) 20% of the purchase price paid for the Asset Sale and (iii) the excess of ReShape’s actual net cash at the effective time of the Merger over the minimum net cash required as a condition to the closing of the Merger as set forth in the Merger Agreement and described below (the “Series C Amendment”). Under the terms of the Series C Amendment, the Series C Preferred Stock would automatically terminate at the effective time of the Merger and would be paid the agreed upon reduced liquidation preference.
In the Merger, ReShape stockholders will continue to own and hold their existing ReShape Shares. Each ReShape restricted stock unit award that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall become fully vested as of immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the Effective Time. Each ReShape stock option that is outstanding, whether vested or unvested, immediately prior to the Effective Time was canceled and terminated without any payment.
2. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11, as amended by SEC Final Rule Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses. In accordance with Release No. 33-10786, the unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet and statements of operations reflect transaction accounting adjustments, as well as other adjustments deemed to be directly related to the Proposed Transactions, irrespective of whether or not such adjustments are deemed to be recurring.
Reverse Stock Split
On August 13, 2025, at the commencement of trading, ReShape effected a 1-for-4 reverse stock split. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts presented in the accompanying pro forma financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the reverse stock split. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split.
On May 9, 2025, at the commencement of trading, ReShape effected a 1-for-25 reverse stock split. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts presented in the accompanying pro forma financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the reverse stock split. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split.
On September 23, 2024, at the commencement of trading, ReShape effected a 1-for-58 reverse stock split. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts presented in the accompanying pro forma financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the reverse stock split. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split.
For accounting purposes, Vyome is considered to be the acquiring company and the Merger will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization of ReShape by Vyome because, at the time of the Merger, ReShape is expected to have nominal assets and operations as a result of the closing of the Asset Sale.
Under reverse recapitalization accounting, the financial statement of the combined entity will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Vyome. No goodwill or intangible assets will be recognized. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of Vyome reflects the operations of the acquirer for accounting purposes together with the shares held by the stockholders of the legal acquirer and the issuance of the shares to be held by the accounting acquirer. The pro forma adjustments represent management’s best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the Combined Company’s financial position or results of operations would have been had the Merger been completed on the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the Combined Company.
There were no material transactions between ReShape and Vyome during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, other than the promissory notes issued by Vyome to ReShape in the principal amount of $600,000.
3. Accounting Policies and Reclassification Adjustments
The accounting policies used in the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are those set out in Vyome’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. Based on Vyome management’s assessment to date, the accounting policies of ReShape are similar in all material respects to Vyome’s accounting policies.
The Combined Company may, as a result, identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined consolidated financial statements.
Certain reclassifications have been made ReShape’s financial statements to conform to classifications used by Vyome.
4. Share Issuances
At the Effective Time, each Vyome Share (other than the shares that are owned by ReShape, Vyome, or Merger Sub and shares that will be subject to a put-call option agreement with certain Indian stockholders of Vyome and its’ subsidiary in India) will be converted into the right to receive a number of ReShape Shares, according to a ratio determined at least 10 days prior to the ReShape Special Meeting that will result in the holders of such Vyome Shares (not including the investors in the Concurrent Financing) owning 85.5% of the outstanding Combined Company Shares immediately after the effective time of the Merger, subject to adjustment based on whether ReShape’s net cash is greater than or less than $5 million and assuming the Concurrent Financing occurs. Based on the number of shares outstanding as of the Effective Time, and ReShape’s net cash at such time, the Exchange Ratio was calculated to be 0.6244 ReShape Shares for each share of Vyome common stock outstanding or underlying the Vyome preferred stock, without giving effect to the proposed reverse stock split of ReShape Shares described in this proxy/information statement- prospectus.
Based on the closing price per share of ReShape Shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market on the Effective Date of $8.96, the date on which the assumed Exchange Ratio of 0.6244 ReShape Shares for each Vyome Share was calculated, the estimated value of each Vyome Share in the Merger would be approximately $15.74. The market price of the ReShape Shares is subject to general price fluctuations in the market for publicly traded equity securities and has experienced volatility in the past and may vary significantly from the date of the ReShape Special Meeting.
The following table shows the shares outstanding pre- and post-Merger for purposes of this pro forma financial statement, as adjusted for the share exchange ratio.

618,808 | |||||||||
| Post-merger, proforma shares outstanding in Combined company and Vyome subsidiary in India | 5,565,597 | 1,625,812 | 7,191,409 | |||||||||
The following table shows the post-split fully diluted shares outstanding for purposes of this pro forma financial statement:
| Shares | ||||
| Post-merger Vyome stock options outstanding | 1,725,220 | |||
| Post-merger, proforma shares outstanding | 7,191,409 | |||
| Fully diluted shares outstanding | 8,916,629 | |||
As a result of the conversion of the Vyome Convertible Debt, preferred stock and Bridge Financing to common shares prior to the Merger, Vyome will have approximately 4.3 million common shares outstanding and 1.6 million shares subject to the put/call option described below.
ReShape completed a 1-for4 reverse stock split in August 2025, 1-for-58 reverse stock split in September 2024 and a 1-for-25 reverse stock split in May 2025, prior to the Merger such that approximately 0.7 million common shares will be outstanding. In connection with the Merger and pursuant to the Exchange ratio, ReShape will issue approximately 4.2 million shares to former Vyome shareholders. At the Merger date, there will be approximately 0.8 million entitled shares of the Combined Company which are subject to put/ call option agreement using Vyome shares owned by certain Indian resident shareholders. At the Merger date, there will be 0.9 million entitled shares of the Combined Company which are subject to put/call Option agreement using Vyome’ subsidiary shares owned by certain Indian resident shareholders. At the Merger date, there will be Vyome stock options outstanding for the purchase of approximately 1.8 million shares of common stock.
Post Merger, the combined company issued approximately 0.6 million shares of common stock from the Concurrent Financing, raising expected gross proceeds of approximately $5.7 million. Also, as part of Concurrent financing for the investments made by certain India resident shareholders in Vyome’s subsidiary in India, there will be approximately 0.1 million entitled shares of the Combined Company which are subject to put/call option agreement using this investment-related shares in Vyome’s subsidiary in India.
Based on ReShape’s closing share price of $8.96 on the Effective Time, the value of shares to be issued in connection with the Merger will be approximately $38.2 million. This amount reflects the following:
| ● | Shares to be issued to former Vyome debtholders, common and preferred shareholders, penny warrants (which will be exercised and convert to common shares prior to Merger date) for participation in Concurrent financing — a portion of which are subject to the put/call option agreement. |
| ● | Underlying entitlement of common shares in the combined company for former Indian resident shareholders for participation in Concurrent Financing by putting money in Vyome-India-subject to the put/call option agreement |
The value of shares to be issued post Merger, in connection with the Concurrent Financing, will be approximately $3.3 million. This amount reflects the following:
| ● | Shares to be issued in Concurrent Financing only for those amounts that come at merger closing in combined company and the entitlement shares thru a put/call option agreement using the shares of Vyome’s subsidiary as a result of such an investment at merger closing in Vyome’s India subsidiary |

Vyome Pro Forma Adjustments:
D: Through August 2024, Vyome continued its compulsory note payable bridge offering (“Bridge Financing”), which could be raised prior to the Merger. The term of these Bridge Financing notes is similar to the convertible notes issued by Vyome since 2020 and may be issued by either the Vyome US parent company or the Vyome subsidiary in India. Through June 30, 2025, the Vyome US parent company raised approximately $660,000 of these Bridge Financing notes which, along with accrued interest, will convert immediately prior to the Merger at a 25% discount to the 30% discount to the valuation determined through the Merger. The Bridge Financing notes issued by the Vyome subsidiary in India of approximately $86,000 have the same terms and are also subject to a “put/call option” — see discussion below. Immediately prior to the Merger, all but the notes subject to the put/call option from such Bridge Financing notes were converted into shares of common stock of Vyome.
In July 2024, Vyome commenced a debt and equity offering (“Concurrent Financing”) of up to $10 million to be issued by Vyome. It’s subsidiary in India and the combined company immediately after completion of Merger. The investors in the Concurrent Financing were able to invest in a one-year 8% compulsory convertible note issued by either Vyome or the Vyome subsidiary in India or shares of either the combined company or Vyome’s subsidiary entity in India. Certain investors also received a warrant to purchase shares of the combined company’s common stock at $0.001 per share. The Company has received commitments of approximately $6.5 million of the combined company common stock and has received commitments of approximately $1.0 million of common stock of the Vyome subsidiary in India and are also subject to a “put/call option” — see discussion below — under such Concurrent Financing.
E: Vyome’s outstanding principal amount of their Convertible Notes including any unpaid accrued interest shall automatically convert in whole into Vyome’s common shares immediately prior to the Merger date at a conversion price equal to the assumed pre-Merger valuation per share multiplied by 0.75 and then multiplied by 70%. Since this conversion is deemed to have happened at the beginning of each period presented, the recorded interest expense and changes in the fair value of the convertible notes is eliminated from the presentation of the pro forma results of operations.
F: Each share of Vyome’s preferred stock is mandatorily convertible into shares of Vyome common stock at the conversion price as defined in the shareholders’ agreement immediately prior to the Merger date. However, certain India-based shareholders will not convert their preferred shares into common shares due to regulatory restrictions. Instead, they will receive shares subject to the put/call option — see below.
The shares issued by Vyome subsidiary in India and certain shares owned by Indian resident shareholders are subject to put and call option agreements whereby the Combined Company can call the shares at the quoted market value on such date called by the combined company, or the shareholders can put their shares to the combined company either for exchange, subject to certain conditions, of the equivalent number of combined company shares or for a specified amount of cash subject to explicit approval of the board of directors of the combined company.
G: Vyome’s estimated transaction costs for the Merger related expenses is approximately $1.7 million.

E: — Refer to Note E above for adjustments related to Vyome’s convertible debt.
| 7. | Pro Forma Weighted Average Shares (Basic and Diluted) |
Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common-equivalent shares outstanding during each period. The exchanged Vyome stock options for the issuance of 1,725,220 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive shares of common stock because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
The below table reflects the Pro Forma loss per share computation for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
