We do not yet know the extent we could be affected
by the imposition of trade tariffs
In recent months, following the change in the U.S. presidential administration, there has been an imposition by the
U.S. of increased trade tariffs on imported goods entering the United States and the imposition by some countries of retaliatory tariffs.
Vycor Medical’s products and the raw materials that are used to manufacture the products are all manufactured in the United States.
The imposition of import tariffs should not, therefore, impact our costs, however raw material prices may increase, and raw material supply
chains could be disrupted. Although the majority of our sales are to hospitals in the United States, we export to a number of countries,
with important export territories including Canada, Japan, the UK and the EU. The imposition of additional retaliatory tariffs by these
or other countries to which we export could negatively impact our international revenues. The escalation of tariffs globally could have
broader economic impacts which could adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity.

2026 will be available. However, the Company
believes it may not have sufficient cash to meet its various cash needs through March 31, 2026

will continue to be the case. The Company may consider
seeking additional equity or debt funding, although there is no assurance that

The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our

critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to “Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our most
recent Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026. Critical
accounting policies are those
that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows and require management’s
most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make
estimates about the effect of matters that are
inherently uncertain. If actual results were to differ significantly from estimates
made, the reported results could be materially affected.
There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and
estimates during the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026.
