NOTES TO Condensed consolidated FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except for share and per share data)
| 1. | NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Nature of Business
Vicarious Surgical Inc. (including
its subsidiaries, “Vicarious” or the “Company”) (formerly D8 Holdings Corp. (“D8”)) was incorporated
in the Cayman Islands on
The Company is currently developing its differentiated surgical robotic system using proprietary de-coupled actuators to virtually transport surgeons inside the patient to perform minimally invasive surgical procedures.
Going Concern
Since inception, the Company has generated negative cash flows from operations
and has an accumulated deficit of $
Management does not believe that the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments balance at March 31, 2026 of $
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, included herein, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company.
5
The condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2026, the Company’s results of operations, and stockholders’ equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the Company’s cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any interim period or for any other future year.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this Form 10-Q and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
| 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods presented. Estimates are used for, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, depreciation of property and equipment, fair value of financial instruments, and contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
US GAAP requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs for the valuation techniques. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. The most observable inputs are used, when available. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2—Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of checking accounts, money market funds, U.S. treasury securities and U.S. government agency securities. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
6
Restricted Cash
The Company has an agreement to maintain
a cash balance of $
Short-Term Investments
All of the Company’s investments,
which consist of U.S. treasury securities and U.S. government agency securities, are classified as available-for-sale and are carried
at fair value. There were unrealized losses of $
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet risk, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts, or other foreign hedging arrangements. Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents principally with accredited financial institutions of high-credit standing. Periodically, there may be times when the deposits exceed the FDIC insurance limits.
Warrant Liabilities
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge its exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. Management evaluates all of the Company’s financial instruments, including issued warrants to purchase its Class A common stock, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
As part of the Business Combination,
the Company assumed
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or disposed of, the assets and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of net loss. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company continually evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate that the estimated remaining useful life of its long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the carrying value of these assets may be impaired. The Company does not believe that any events have occurred through March 31, 2026, that would indicate its long-lived assets are impaired.
7
Guarantees and Indemnifications
As permitted under Delaware law, the Company indemnifies its officers, directors, consultants and employees for certain events or occurrences that happen by reason of the relationship with, or position held at, the Company. Through March 31, 2026, the Company had not experienced any losses related to these indemnification obligations, and no claims were outstanding. The Company does not expect significant claims related to these indemnification obligations and, consequently, concluded that the fair value of these obligations is negligible, and no related liabilities have been established.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred. Research and development costs include payroll and personnel expenses, consulting costs, software and web services, legal, raw materials and allocated overhead such as depreciation and amortization, rent and utilities. Advance payments for goods and services to be used in future research and development activities are recorded as prepaid expenses and are expensed over the service period as the services are provided or when the goods are consumed.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for all stock-based compensation, including stock options, performance-based stock options (“PSOs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”), warrants and other forms of equity issued as compensation for services, at fair value and recognizes stock-based compensation expense for those equity awards, net of actual forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award.
The fair value of the Company’s stock options and PSOs on the date of grant is determined by a Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing key assumptions such as stock price, expected volatility and expected term. The Company’s estimates of these assumptions are primarily based on the fair value of the Company’s stock, historical data, peer company data used in combination with the Company’s data for volatility, and judgment regarding future trends. The Company uses its publicly traded stock price as the fair value of its common stock.
The fair value of RSUs and PSUs are based on the closing stock price on the grant date.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method pursuant to ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that management believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized in the future. In making such a determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations.
The Company provides reserves for potential
payments of taxes to various tax authorities related to uncertain tax positions. Amounts recognized are based on a determination of whether
a tax benefit taken by the Company in its tax filings or positions is “more likely than not” to be sustained on audit. The
amount recognized is equal to the largest amount that is more than
8
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including potential dilutive common stock. For the purpose of this calculation, outstanding stock options, PSOs, RSUs, PSUs and stock warrants are considered potential dilutive common stock and are excluded from the computation of net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive.
Accordingly, in periods in which the Company reports a net loss, such losses are not allocated to such participating securities. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss attributable to common stockholders, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to be outstanding when their effect is anti-dilutive.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU
2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income
taxes paid. ASU No. 2023-09 requires a public business entity (“PBE”) to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation
using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by
nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. In addition, all entities are required to disclose income
taxes paid, net of refunds received disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign and by jurisdiction if the amount is at least
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amendments in this ASU clarify and enhance certain presentation and reporting requirements related to expense disclosures. The guidance in ASU 2024-03 is effective for public business entities, including smaller reporting companies, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has not yet adopted ASU 2024-03. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 and does not expect that adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
| 3. | Short-term investments |
Short-term investments consist of U.S. treasury and U.S. government agency securities and are classified as available-for-sale.
Available-for-sale investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. The fair values of the Company’s available-for-sale cash and cash equivalents securities are Level 1 measurements, based on quoted prices from active markets for identical assets. The fair values of the Company’s available-for-sale short-term investments securities are Level 2 measurements, based on quoted prices from inactive markets for identical assets.

The amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains, gross unrealized holding losses and fair value of the Company’s marketable securities by type of security as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were as follows:

| 5. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

| Quoted Prices | ||||||||||||||||

| Money market funds | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
| U.S. treasury securities | ||||||||||||||||
| Total assets | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
Money market funds are classified as cash and cash equivalents. U.S. treasury securities are classified as cash equivalents when the date from initial purchase to maturity is less than 90 days. The remaining investments are classified as short-term investments.
The carrying values of prepaid expenses, right of use assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair values of the Company’s short-term investments are Level 2 measurements as the US government securities are not the most recent offerings and are therefore not traded in an active market.
The fair value of the Public Warrants is determined from their trading value on public markets. The Public Warrants were suspended from trading on the NYSE on December 15, 2025 and were subsequently delisted. As such, the value of the Public Warrants is as of March 31, 2026. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used in the model were the Company’s stock price, exercise price, expected term, volatility, interest rate, and dividend yield.
For the three months ended March 31,
2026, the Company did recognize a gain or loss in the statement of operations as the fair value of warrant liabilities did not change.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized a loss to the statement of operations resulting from an increase in
the fair value of liabilities of $
The Company estimates the volatility of its warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s Public Warrants and from historical volatility of select peer companies’ common stock that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero.

The Company periodically issues RSUs of Class A common stock to certain employees and members of the Board of Directors. The RSUs generally vest over a four-year period. PSUs are issued in the form of performance share units. PSUs include threshold, target, and maximum achievement levels based on the achievement of specific performance measures. PSUs are subject to forfeiture if applicable performance measures are not attained. The expense is recognized over the vesting period, based on the best available estimate of the number of share units expected to vest. Estimates are subsequently revised if there is any indication that the number of share units expected to vest differs from previous estimates. Any cumulative adjustment prior to vesting is recognized in the current period. As of March 31, 2026, there are no outstanding PSUs.

The Company grants stock options to employees at exercise prices deemed by the Board of Directors to be equal to the fair value of the Class A common stock at the time of grant. The Company uses its publicly traded stock price as the fair value of its common stock. For options with a service condition, the fair value of the Company’s stock options on the date of grant is determined by a Black-Scholes pricing model utilizing key assumptions such as common stock price, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, expected volatility and expected life. The Company’s estimates of these assumptions are primarily based on the fair value of the Company’s stock, historical data and judgement regarding future trends.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 9, 2026, and our other public reports filed with the SEC. This discussion contains forward looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described in the “Risk Factors” section in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we”, “us”, “our”, and “the Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of Vicarious Surgical Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, present the financial position and results of operations of Vicarious Surgical Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. In preparing this MD&A, the Company presumes that readers have access to and have read the MD&A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, pursuant to Instruction 2 to paragraph (b) of Item 303 of Regulation S-K.
Overview
We are combining advanced miniaturized robotics, computer science, sensing and 3D visualization to build a new category of intelligent and affordable single-port surgical robots that virtually transport surgeons inside the patient to perform minimally invasive surgery. With our next-generation robotics technology, which is being designed with proprietary human-like motion, we are seeking to improve surgical precision, ergonomics, and procedural efficiency, with the goal of improving patient outcomes and the cost and efficacy of surgical procedures over time. Led by a visionary team of engineers from MIT, we intend to deliver the next generation in robotic surgery, designed to solve the shortcomings of both open surgery, as well as current manual and robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery.
We estimate that there are 45 million soft tissue abdominal and gynecological surgical procedures performed annually worldwide that could potentially be addressed with the Vicarious Surgical System, including use for ventral hernia, other types of hernia, hysterectomy, cholecystectomy (gall bladder) and certain other gastrointestinal procedures. We intend for use in ventral hernia procedures to be the first clinical application for the Vicarious Surgical System, of which there are estimated to be 3.9 million cases worldwide and 0.9 million in the U.S. annually. We then intend to seek FDA authorization to enable the expansion into the other applications addressable by the Vicarious Surgical System.
The dollar amounts set forth in this section are presented in thousands, except for per share amounts.
Recent Developments
On March 3, 2026, the NYSE notified us that it had determined to (A) immediately suspend trading in our Class A common stock due to a determination that we had fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard requiring listed companies to maintain an average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading day period of at least $15,000,000 pursuant to Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, and (B) commence proceedings to delist the Class A common stock. We will not appeal the delisting determination. The NYSE subsequently applied to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Class A common stock by filing a Form 25.
We received approval of our application to have the Class A common stock quoted on the OTCID market tier operated by OTC Markets. The Class A common stock commenced quotation on the OTCID at the open of business on March 4, 2026 under the trading symbol of “RBOT.” The quotation of our Class A common stock was upgraded to the OTCQB Venture Market (“OTCQB”) operated by OTC Markets on March 24, 2026.
20
The OTCQB is a significantly more limited market than the NYSE, and quotation on any OTC market will result in a less liquid market for existing and potential holders of Class A common stock to trade their shares and could further depress the trading price of the Class A common stock. We can provide no assurance that the Class A common stock will continue to trade on this market, whether broker-dealers will provide and continue to provide public quotes of the Class A common stock on this market, or whether the trading volume of the Class A common stock will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market.
We have also applied to list our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We have not yet been approved to list our Class A common stock by Nasdaq and do not currently meet all of the requirements for initial listing, and may not meet all of the requirements for uplisting in the future. We hope to list our Class A common stock on Nasdaq in the future and expect that a reverse stock split will be necessary for us to meet the minimum bid price and/or minimum closing stock price requirements of Nasdaq. We may not be able to meet the initial listing standards of Nasdaq, even after a reverse stock split, may meet such listing standards without having to affect a reverse stock split, and/or may have our application to Nasdaq rejected.
Financial Highlights
We incurred net losses of $7,329 and $15,394 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively. These losses include losses of $0 and $93 related to the change in valuation of our warrant obligations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Our loss from operations prior to the warrant loss and other income and expense items was $7,502 and $15,747 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively, representing a period-over-period decrease in expenses of 52%, which was primarily due to decreases of $5,727 in personnel-related expenses, $1,034 of inventory, supplies and materials, $616 of facilities-related expenses, $527 of professional fees, and $186 of depreciation and amortization. The decrease in personnel-related expense was due primarily to a decrease in average headcount of 61%, from an average of 123 people in the three months ended March 31, 2025 to an average of 48 people in the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Factors Affecting Results of Operations
The following factors have been important to our business and we expect them to impact our results of operations and financial condition in future periods:
Revenue
To date, we have not generated any revenue. We do not expect to generate revenue unless and until we receive FDA authorization of our product candidate. The amount of revenue, if any, from initial sales of a new product is difficult to predict and, even if we successfully commercialize our product candidate upon approval and begin generating revenue, such revenues will initially only modestly reduce our continued net losses resulting from our research and development and marketing activities, which we expect to continue to increase even after market authorization is received.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of engineering, product development, regulatory expenses, medical affairs, and other costs associated with product candidates and technologies that are in development. These expenses include employee compensation, including stock-based compensation, supplies, consulting, prototyping, testing, materials, travel expenses, depreciation and an allocation of facility overhead expenses. Additionally, R&D expenses include internal and external costs associated with our regulatory compliance and quality assurance functions and overhead costs. While R&D expenses may vary over time depending on the level and timing of our product development efforts, as well as our clinical development, clinical trial and other related activities, we currently expect such expenses to decrease in absolute dollars as we implement cost control measures, including outsourcing, and operational efficiencies.
21
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses consist primarily of compensation for personnel, including stock-based compensation, related to executive, finance and accounting, information technology and human resource functions. Other G&A expenses include travel expenses, professional services fees (including legal, audit and tax fees), insurance costs, general corporate expenses and allocated facilities-related expenses. We expect G&A expenses to decrease in absolute dollars as we continue to streamline operations and realize cost efficiencies.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing (“S&M”) expenses consist primarily of compensation for personnel, including stock-based compensation, related to sales and marketing functions and physician education programs. Other S&M expenses include training, travel expenses, promotional activities, marketing initiatives, market research and analysis, conferences and trade shows, professional services fees and allocated facilities-related expenses. We expect S&M expenses to continue to decrease in absolute dollars as we prioritize capital preservation and limit marketing activities until closer to commercialization.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities
The change in fair value of warrant liability represents the mark-to-market fair value adjustments to the outstanding Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants assumed as part of the consummation of the Business Combination on September 17, 2021. The change in fair value of our Private Placement Warrants is primarily the result of the change in the underlying stock price of our stock used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model while the Public Warrants are marked-to-market based on their historical price on the NYSE. On December 15, 2025, the NYSE suspended trading of the Public Warrants and subsequently delisted the Public Warrants. The warrant liability was measured at fair value initially on September 17, 2021 and is remeasured at exercise, and for warrants that remain outstanding at the end of each subsequent reporting period.
Interest Income
Interest income consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists of interest incurred on our D&O insurance financing.

Comparison of the Three Months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
Research and Development Expenses. R&D expenses decreased $4,376, or 46%, to $5,039 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $9,415 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to decreases of $2,136 in personnel-related expenses, $1,034 in supplies and direct materials, $564 in consulting and contractor fees, $281 in facilities and other office-related expenses, and $217 in software costs. The decrease in personnel-related expense was due primarily to a decrease in average headcount of 61%, from an average of 99 people in the three months ended March 31, 2025 to an average of 39 people in the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Sales and Marketing Expenses. S&M expenses decreased $698, or 67%, to $343 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1,041 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $711 in personnel-related expenses, partially offset by an increase of $41 in professional fees. The decrease in personnel-related expense was due to an average headcount decrease of 63%, from an average of 8 people in the three months ended March 31, 2025 to an average of 3 people for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
General and Administrative Expenses. G&A expenses decreased $3,171, or 60%, to $2,120 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $5,291 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to decreases of $2,880 in personnel-related expenses, $104 in software costs, and $92 in facilities and other office-related expenses. The decrease in personnel-related expense was due primarily to a decrease in average headcount of 56%, from an average of 16 people in the three months ended March 31, 2025 to an average of 7 people in the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Other income, net. Other income, net decreased by $180 to $173 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to other income of $353 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest income from short-term investments of $396, partially offset by a gain on sale of equipment of $133 and a decrease in expense related to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $93.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, our primary sources of capital have been private placements of preferred stock prior to the Business Combination, public and private sales of securities and the issuance of common stock. Net cash used in our operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025 was $6,325 and $45,076, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, we held cash and cash equivalents of $1,407, short-term investments of $2,275 and had an accumulated deficit of $253,446.
We expect net losses to continue in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue to invest in our product development and clinical pathway. Based on our current planned operations, we do not believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance of $3,682 as of March 31, 2026 will be sufficient to support our operations for the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Due to a reduction in headcount effective March 6, 2026, we currently expect that our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to support our operations through the second quarter of 2026. As such, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We may consider raising additional capital to expand our business, to pursue strategic investments, to take advantage of financing opportunities or for other reasons.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, any changes in the size, number and scope of clinical trials we may be required to conduct, the timing and conditions of market authorization (if any) for the Vicarious Surgical System, whether we are able to successfully commercialize the Vicarious Surgical System, if approved, additional product candidates we may choose to develop, fluctuations in the cost and timing of our business activities, including manufacturing, hiring and protection of our intellectual property portfolio, and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” sections in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2026, and in other filings that we make with the SEC from time to time.
23
We expect that we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in order to complete our clinical trials, obtain market authorization for the Vicarious Surgical System, and commercialize it, if approved. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate sufficient revenues to support our expenses, we may seek to sell additional common or preferred equity or convertible debt securities, enter into an additional credit facility or another form of third-party funding or seek other debt financing. The sale of equity and convertible debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders. Preferred equity securities or convertible debt could provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock, including liquidation or other preferences that could adversely affect the rights of our existing stockholders. The terms of debt securities issued or borrowings pursuant to a credit agreement could impose significant restrictions on our operations. If we raise funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we might be required to relinquish significant rights to our platform technologies or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us, or that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves. Additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all, particularly given the current macroeconomic environment, including diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence and economic growth, rising interest rates, inflation, uncertainty about economic stability and potential for economic recession. If the equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to obtain, more costly and more dilutive. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development, market authorization or commercialization of the Vicarious Surgical System or future product candidates, or seek collaborators at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable or on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available.
On October 7, 2022, we filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3”), which was declared effective by the SEC on October 27, 2022, on which we registered for sale up to $400 million of any combination of our Class A common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights and/or units from time to time and at prices and on terms that we may determine, which includes up to $100 million of Class A common stock that we may issue and sell from time to time, through Cowen and Company, LLC acting as our sales agent, pursuant to the sales agreement that we entered into with Cowen and Company, LLC on October 7, 2022 for our “at-the-market” equity program. We did not sell any shares of our Class A common stock under our sales agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC for the three months ended March 31, 2026 or for the year ended December 31, 2025. This Form S-3 expired on October 27, 2025.
On December 12, 2025, we filed a new universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “ new Form S-3”), which was declared effective by the SEC on December 22, 2025, on which we registered for sale up to $100 million of any combination of our Class A common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights and/or units from time to time and at prices and on terms that we may determine, which includes up to $3 million of Class A common stock that we may issue and sell from time to time, through H.C. Wainwright and Company, LLC acting as our sales agent, pursuant to the sales agreement that we entered into with H.C. Wainwright and Company, LLC on December 12, 2025 for our “at-the-market” equity program. We did not sell any shares of our Class A common stock under our sales agreement with H.C. Wainwright and Company, LLC for the three months ended March 31, 2026 or for the year ended December 31, 2025.
On October 7, 2025, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor pursuant to which we agreed to issue in a registered direct offering 588,300 shares of our Class A common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 561,700 shares of our Common Stock, as well as in a concurrent private placement, Series A common warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,150,000 shares of our Common Stock and Series B common warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,150,000 shares of our Common Stock, in each case with an exercise price of $5.10. The gross proceeds from the offering were $5.9 million and net proceeds of $5.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by us.
24
The delisting of the Class A common stock from the NYSE as described above under “Recent Developments” could materially limited the number of investors willing to hold or acquire the Class A common stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; and negatively impact our ability to use a registration statement to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby preventing us from accessing the public capital markets.
Cash
Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments balance as of March 31, 2026 was $1,407 and $2,275, respectively. Our future capital requirements may vary from those currently planned and will depend on various factors, including the timing and extent of R&D spending and spending on other strategic business initiatives.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods presented, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, which were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the consolidated balance sheet date, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
While our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our historical condensed consolidated financial statements (see Note 2 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements), we believe the following critical accounting policy requires significant judgment and estimates in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements:
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” in our condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Background and Remediation of Material Weaknesses
In connection with our evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures covering our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. We have concluded that material weaknesses exist in our disclosure controls and procedures, including internal control over financial reporting, as we do not have the necessary business processes, personnel and related internal controls to operate in a manner to satisfy the accounting and financial reporting requirements of a public company. These material weaknesses manifested themselves in ways that included the improper segregation of duties relating to review of the recording of journal entries and the reconciliation of key accounts and safeguarding of assets, as well as the analysis of accounting for certain transactions and accounts, improper controls related to information technology, ineffective risk assessment process and documentation and monitoring of control processes, accounting policies and procedures.
We are focused on designing and implementing effective internal controls measures to improve our evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures, including internal control over financial reporting, and remediate the material weaknesses. In order to remediate these material weaknesses, we have taken and plan to take the following actions:
| ● | the hiring and retention of accounting, finance and legal resources with public company experience; and |
| ● | implementation of additional review controls and processes requiring timely account reconciliation and analyses of certain transactions and accounts. |
These actions and planned actions are subject to ongoing evaluation by management and will require testing and validation of design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting over future periods. We are committed to the continuous improvement of our internal control over financial reporting and will continue to review the internal control over financial reporting.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of March 31, 2026 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Securities and Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to our knowledge, we are not party to and our property is not subject to any material pending legal proceedings. However, from time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. Regardless of the outcome, such legal proceedings or claims could have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including the risk factors described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2026, and the risk factors described below. We may disclose changes to risk factors or additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
We cannot assure you that a reverse stock split will increase the price of our Class A common stock and have the desired effects.
On April 8, 2026, at a special meeting of stockholders, our stockholders approved the adoption of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of all of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock, at a ratio in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-30 (a “Reverse Stock Split”), with the ratio to be determined by our Board of Directors (the “Board”). If a Reverse Stock Split is implemented, our Board expects that such transaction will increase the market price of our Class A common stock so that we are able to meet the price criteria for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market and make our Class A common stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors. However, the effect of the Reverse Stock Split upon the market price of our Class A common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of similar stock splits for companies in like circumstances is varied. It is possible that (i) the per share price of our Class A common stock after a Reverse Stock Split will not rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our Class A common stock outstanding resulting from the Reverse Stock Split, or (ii) the Reverse Stock Split may not result in a per share price that would attract brokers and investors who do not trade in lower priced stocks. Even if a Reverse Stock Split is implemented, the market price of our Class A common stock may decrease due to factors unrelated to the Reverse Stock Split. In any case, the market price of our Class A common stock will be based on other factors which may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding, including our future performance. If a Reverse Stock Split is consummated and the trading price of our Class A common stock declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of the Reverse Stock Split.
A reverse stock split may decrease the liquidity of our Class A common stock.
The liquidity of our Class A common stock may be harmed by a Reverse Stock Split given the reduced number of shares of Class A common stock that would be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split, particularly if the stock price does not increase as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
As we are not reducing the number of our authorized shares, a reverse stock split could make a change of control more difficult because we will have the right to issue additional shares.
While a Reverse Stock Split would decrease the number of outstanding shares of our common stock, it would not change the number of authorized shares under our Certificate of Incorporation. Consequently, a Reverse Stock Split would have the effect of increasing the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under our Certificate of Incorporation. The Board believes that such an increase is in our and our stockholders’ best interests as it would provide us with greater flexibility to issue shares of common stock in connection with possible future financings as under our equity incentive plans and for other general corporate purposes. By increasing the number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock, a Reverse Stock Split could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect, although this is not the intent of the Board. In addition, a Reverse Stock Split will not change the number of authorized shares of our preferred shares, as designated by our Certificate of Incorporation. Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue one or more series of preferred stock, which we are not changing in the Reverse Stock Split. Our Board has the authority to determine the preferences, limitations and relative rights of the shares of preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series, subject to certain approval rights of our stockholders. Our preferred stock could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to the rights of our Class A common stock. The potential issuance of preferred stock may delay or prevent a change in control of us, discouraging bids for our Class A common stock at a premium to the market price, and materially and adversely affect the market price and the voting and other rights of the holders of our Class A common stock. A Reverse Stock Split is not being recommended by the Board as part of an anti-takeover strategy, but rather its principal purpose is for us to facilitate the listing of our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market and to make such shares more attractive to a broader group of investors.
28
Our initial listing application to the Nasdaq Capital Market may not be approved, and we may not meet all of the criteria and standards for initial listing.
The Board sought stockholder approval for a Reverse Stock Split with the primary intent of increasing the price of our Class A common stock to meet the price criteria for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The initial listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market require a market value of unrestricted publicly held shares of at least $15 million, in addition to a bid price of at least $4.00 and stockholders’ equity of at least $5.0 million. A Reverse Stock Split would be intended to permit our Class A common stock to trade above the $4.00 bid price requirement to facilitate a listing of our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Board expects that we will need to take additional actions to comply with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement and the requirement to have a market value of unrestricted publicly held shares requirement. While we have applied to list our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq as of the date of this report, we have not yet been approved to list our Class A common stock by Nasdaq and do not currently meet all of the requirements for initial listing, and may not meet all of the requirements for uplisting in the future. We hope to list our Class A common stock on Nasdaq in the future and expect that a Reverse Stock Split will be necessary for us to meet the minimum bid price and/or minimum closing stock price requirements of Nasdaq. We may not be able to meet the initial listing standards of Nasdaq, even after a Reverse Stock Split, may meet such listing standards without having to affect a Reverse Stock Split, and/or may have our application to Nasdaq rejected. Our Class A common stock may never trade on Nasdaq in the future.
In the event we do not receive approval from Nasdaq to list our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we will continue to list our shares on the OTCQB or another quotation medium, depending on our ability to meet the specific listing requirements of those quotation systems. As a result, an investor would likely continue to find it more difficult to trade or obtain accurate price quotations for our shares. Failure to list our Class A common stock on a national securities exchange would likely also reduce the visibility, liquidity, and value of our Class A common stock, reduce institutional investor interest in our company, and increase the volatility of our Class A common stock. Failure to list our Class A common stock could also cause a loss of confidence of potential industry partners, lenders, and employees, which could further harm our business and our future prospects.
