NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION, LIQUIDITY, AND BUSINESS
Corporate
History
BioRestorative
Therapies, Inc. has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Stem Pearls, LLC (“Stem Pearls”). BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. and its
subsidiary are referred to collectively as “BRT” or the “Company”.
On
March 20, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), the Company filed a voluntary petition commencing a case (the “Chapter 11 Case”)
under chapter 11 of title 11 of the U.S. Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy
Court”).
On
August 7, 2020, the Company and Auctus Fund, LLC (“Auctus”), the Company’s largest unsecured creditor and a stockholder
as of the Petition Date, filed an Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) and on October 30, 2020, the Bankruptcy
Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Plan, as amended. Amendments to the Plan are reflected in
the Confirmation Order. On November 16, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan became effective. See Note 5 – Notes
Payable – Chapter 11 Reorganization.
On October 27, 2021, the Company
effected a 1-for-4,000 reverse stock split . The Company has retroactively applied the reverse stock split made effective on October 27,
2021 to share and per share amounts on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company’s authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock were
not affected as a result of the reverse stock split.
Nature
of the Business
BRT
develops therapeutic products and medical therapies using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells. BRT’s
website is at www.biorestorative.com. BRT is currently developing a Disc/Spine Program referred to as “brtxDISC”. Its lead
cell therapy candidate, BRTX-100 , is a product formulated from autologous (or a person’s own) cultured mesenchymal stem
cells collected from the patient’s bone marrow. The product is intended to be used for the non-surgical treatment of painful lumbosacral
disc disorders or as a complimentary therapeutic to a surgical procedure. BRT is also engaging in research efforts with respect to a
platform technology utilizing brown adipose (fat) for therapeutic purposes to treat type 2 diabetes, obesity and other metabolic disorders
and has labeled this initiative its ThermoStem Program. Further, BRT has licensed a patented curved needle device that is a needle system
designed to deliver cells and/or other therapeutic products or material to the spine and discs or other potential sites.
Liquidity
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as
a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and satisfying liabilities in the normal course of business. At September 30,
2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 113,743,000 and working capital surplus of approximately $ 296,000 .
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had a loss from operations of approximately $ 22,299,000 (of which, approximately
$ 19,930,000 was attributable to non-cash stock-based compensation) and negative cash flows from operations of approximately $ 2,185,000 .
The Company’s operating activities consume the majority of its cash resources. The Company anticipates that it will continue to
incur operating losses as it executes its development plans for 2021, as well as other potential strategic and business development initiatives.
In addition, the Company has had and expects to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. The Company
has previously funded, and plans to continue funding, these losses primarily through current cash on hand received subsequent to quarter
end and additional infusions of cash from equity and debt financing. On November 9, 2021, the Company received net proceeds of approximately
$ 20,772,000 from its public offering (see Note 9 – Subsequent Events).
As
a result of the above, and cash on hand of approximately $ 22,191,150 as of November 10, 2021, the Company believes it has
sufficient cash to fund operations for the twelve months subsequent to the filing date.
7
Current
funds noted above may not be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or attain profitable
operations. If the Company is unable to obtain such needed additional financing on a timely basis, the Company may have to curtail its
development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial
condition and results of operations, and ultimately the Company could be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate.
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement
values. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial information as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021
and 2020 has been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at such
dates and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or for any other subsequent interim period.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant
to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2020, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 30, 2021.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Stem Pearls.
Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Chapter
11 Case
Chapter
11 Accounting
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared as if we were a going concern and in accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, Reorganizations .
Weak
industry conditions in 2019 negatively impacted the Company’s results of operations and cash flows and may continue to do so in
the future. In order to decrease the Company’s indebtedness and maintain the Company’s liquidity levels sufficient to meet
its commitments, the Company undertook a number of actions, including minimizing capital expenditures and further reducing its recurring
operating expenses. The Company believed that even after taking these actions, it would not have sufficient liquidity to satisfy its
debt service obligations and meet its other financial obligations. On March 20, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), the Company filed
a voluntary petition commencing a case under chapter 11 of title 11 of the U.S. Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of New York. On August 7, 2020, the Company and Auctus, the Company’s largest unsecured creditor and a stockholder as
of the Petition Date, filed an Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) and on October 30, 2020, the Bankruptcy
Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Plan, as amended. Amendments to the Plan are reflected in
the Confirmation Order. On November 16, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan became effective.

Reorganization
Items, Net
The
Company incurred costs after the Petition Date associated with the reorganization, primarily unamortized debt discount and post petition
professional fees. In accordance with applicable guidance, costs associated with the bankruptcy proceedings have been recorded as reorganization
items, net within the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2021 and 2020. Reorganization items, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $ - and for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2020 were ($ 183,387 ) and $ 597,919 , respectively, representing cash used in operating activities.
Reorganization
items, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 consisted of the following:

Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity-based transactions, revenue and expenses and disclosure
of contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company bases its estimates and
assumptions on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable. As future
events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates which may cause the Company’s
future results to be affected.
The
Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation
of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include the carrying value of intangible
assets, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, estimated fair value of derivative liabilities stemming from convertible debt securities,
assumptions used in management’s liquidity analysis, and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model, such as expected
volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected divided rate.
Revenue
The
Company derives all of its revenue pursuant to a license agreement between the Company and a stem cell treatment company (“SCTC”)
entered into in January 2012 and amended in November 2015. Pursuant to the license agreement, the SCTC granted to the Company a license
to use certain intellectual property related to, among other things, stem cell disc procedures, and the Company has granted to the SCTC
a sublicense to use, and the right to sublicense to third parties the right to use, in certain locations in the United States and the
Cayman Islands, certain of the licensed intellectual property. In consideration of the sublicenses, the SCTC has agreed to pay the Company
royalties on a per disc procedure basis.
9
Practical
Expedients
As
part of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company has adopted several practical expedients
including:
● Significant
Financing Component – the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration
for the effects of a significant financing component since the Company expects, at contract
inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service
to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
● Unsatisfied
Performance Obligations – for performance obligations related to contracts with a duration
of less than one year, the Company has elected to apply the optional exemption provided in
ASC 606 and therefore is not required to disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price
allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at the end
of the reporting period.
● Right
to Invoice – the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount
that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance
completed to date. The Company may recognize revenue in the amount the entity has a right
to invoice.
Contract
Modifications
There
were no contract modifications during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Contract modifications are not routine in the
performance of the Company’s contracts.
Cash
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company periodically
assesses its accounts receivable and other receivables for collectability on a specific identification basis. The Company provides for
allowances for doubtful accounts based on management’s estimate of uncollectible amounts considering age, collection history, and
any other factors considered appropriate. Payments are generally due within 30 days of invoice. The Company writes off accounts receivable
against the allowance for doubtful accounts when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. The Company did no t record an allowance
for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets, generally 3 – 15 years. Expenditures that enhance the useful lives of assets are capitalized and depreciated. Computer
equipment costs are capitalized as incurred and depreciated on a straight-line basis over a range of 3 – 5 years.
Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lesser of (i) the useful life of the asset or (ii) the remaining lease term. Maintenance and repairs
are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes costs attributable to the betterment of property and equipment when such betterment
extends the useful life of the assets. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations.
10
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company reviews long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the carrying
amount to the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate. If the operation is determined to be
unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then these assets are written down to fair value first, followed by other long-lived
assets of the operation. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the
assets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company determined that there was no impairment charge
for intangible assets.
Intangible
Assets
The
Company records its intangible assets at cost in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other . Definite-lived
intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life, which is determined by identifying the
period over which the cash flows from the asset are expected to be generated.
Advertising
and Marketing Costs
The
Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as they are incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses were $ 300 and $ 150 for the
three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Advertising and marketing expenses were $ 9,120 and $ 28,281 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Advertising and marketing expenses are recorded in marketing and promotion on
the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Fair
Value Measurements
As
defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), fair value is the price that would be received
for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price).
The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions
about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated,
or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy
gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and
the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent
measurement.
Level
1:
Quoted
prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in
which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing
basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed
equities.
Level
2:
Pricing
inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as
of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies.
These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities,
time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant
economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument,
can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.
Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options
and collars.
Level
3:
Pricing
inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally-developed
methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
11
Net
Loss per Common Share
Net
loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
All vested outstanding options and warrants are considered potential common stock. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options, warrants,
and unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are calculated using the treasury stock method. All outstanding convertible
notes are considered common stock at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method.
Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, options, warrants, RSUs and convertible notes have
been excluded from the Company’s computation of net loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021
and 2020.
The
following table summarizes the securities that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these
potential shares was antidilutive:

of September 30, 2021, all of the convertible notes had variable conversion prices and the
shares issuable were estimated based on the market conditions. Pursuant to the note agreements,
there were 12,876,004 shares of common stock reserved for future note conversions as of September
30, 2021 (see Note 9 – Subsequent Events).
Stock-based
Compensation
The
Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement
and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, including employee stock options, in the statements
of operations.
For
stock options issued to employees and members of the board of directors for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair
value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management
to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the
expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. For awards subject to service-based
vesting conditions, including those with a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to
the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting
term. Forfeitures are recorded as they are incurred.
Pursuant
to Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07 Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee
Share-Based Payment Accounting , the Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees for their services in accordance with
ASC 718. The Company uses valuation methods and assumptions to value the stock options that are in line with the process for valuing
employee stock options noted above.
12
Since
the shares underlying the Company’s 2010 Equity Participation Plan and the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plans”)
are registered, the Company estimates the fair value of the awards granted under the Plans based on the market value of its freely tradable
common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market. On February 3, 2020, the Company was advised by OTC Markets Group that,
based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock being less than $0.001 per share for five consecutive trading days,
the Company’s common stock was moved from the OTCQB Market to the Pink Market effective at market open on February 10, 2020. The
fair value of the Company’s restricted equity instruments was estimated by management based on observations of the cash sales prices
of both restricted shares and freely tradable shares. Awards granted to directors are treated on the same basis as awards granted to
employees. Upon the exercise of an option or warrant, the Company issues new shares of common stock out of its authorized shares.
Income
Taxes
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets,
including tax loss and credit carry forwards, 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 income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The
Company utilizes ASC 740, 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns.
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets
and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more
likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s
net deferred tax asset has been fully reserved.
For
uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, the Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax
positions in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties,
if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations when
a determination is made that such expense is likely.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
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 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
ASC. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record embedded conversion options (“ECOs”)
and any related freestanding instruments 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 as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period
at each balance sheet date. Conversion options are recorded as a discount to the host instrument and are amortized as amortization of
debt discount on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements over the life of the underlying instrument. 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.
The
Multinomial Lattice Model and Black-Scholes option pricing model were used to estimate the fair value of the ECOs of convertible notes
payable, warrants, and stock options that are classified as derivative liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
These models include subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated
based on the actual volatility during the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the instruments.
13
Sequencing
Policy
Under
ASC 815-40-35 (“ASC 815”), the Company has adopted a sequencing policy whereby, in the event that reclassification of contracts
from equity to assets or liabilities is necessary pursuant to ASC 815 due to the Company’s inability to demonstrate it has sufficient
authorized shares as a result of certain securities with a potentially indeterminable number of shares, shares will be allocated on the
basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest grants receiving the first allocation of shares.
Pursuant to ASC 815, issuances of securities to the Company’s employees and directors, or to compensate grantees in a share-based
payment arrangement, are not subject to the sequencing policy.
Leases
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”)). The standard requires all leases that have
a term greater than 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet with a liability for the lease payments and a corresponding right-of-use
(“ROU”) asset initially measured at the present value of amounts expected to be paid over the term. Recognition of the costs
of these leases on the income statement will be dependent upon their classification as either an operating or financing lease. Costs
of an operating lease will continue to be recognized as a single operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs
for a financing lease will be disaggregated and recognized as both an operating expense (for the amortization of the ROU asset) and interest
expense (for interest on the lease liability).
A
lease is defined as a contract that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time
in exchange for consideration.
In
accordance with ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), the Company recognized an ROU asset and corresponding lease liability
on its balance sheets for its office space lease agreement. See Note 8- Leases for further discussion, including the impact on
the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
ROU
assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum
lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms used in measuring ROU assets and lease liabilities
may include or exclude periods covered by options to extend or terminate a lease, respectively, if it is reasonably certain that the
Company will exercise the option(s).
Leases
in which the Company is the lessee are comprised of rented office space. All of the leases are classified as operating leases. The Company
has a lease agreement for office space with a remaining term of 3.25 years as of September 30, 2021.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In
May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share ( Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic
470-50), Compensation— Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity
(Subtopic 815- 40) (“ASU 2021-04”), which clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications
or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity-classified after a modification
or exchange. An entity should measure the effect of a modification or exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option
that remains equity-classified after a modification or exchange as follows: i) for a modification or exchange that is a part of or directly
related to a modification or exchange of an existing debt instrument or line-of-credit or revolving-debt arrangements (hereinafter, referred
to as “debt” or a “debt instrument”), as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged written
call option and the fair value of that written call option immediately before it is modified or exchanged; ii) for all other modifications
or exchanges, as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the modified or exchanged written call option over the fair value of that written
call option immediately before it is modified or exchanged. The amendments in ASU 2021-04 are effective for all entities for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively
to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
of this standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
All
other newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be immaterial or not applicable to the Company.

NOTE
3 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The
Company is a party to a license agreement with the SCTC (as amended) (the “SCTC Agreement”). Pursuant to the SCTC Agreement,
the Company obtained, among other things, a worldwide, exclusive, royalty-bearing license from the SCTC to utilize or sublicense a certain
medical device patent for the administration of specific cells and/or cell products to the disc and/or spine (and other parts of the
body) and a worldwide (excluding Asia and Argentina), exclusive, royalty-bearing license to utilize or sublicense a certain method for
culturing cells. Pursuant to the license agreement with the SCTC, unless certain performance milestones had been or are satisfied, the
Company would have been required to pay to the SCTC $ 150,000 by April 2017 and an additional $ 250,000 by April 2019 in order to maintain
its exclusive rights with regard to the disc/spine technology. In February 2017, the Company received authorization from the Food and
Drug Administration (the “FDA”) to proceed with a Phase 2 clinical trial. Based upon such authorization, the Company has
satisfied a performance milestone such that the Company was not required to pay to the SCTC a minimum amount of $ 150,000 by April 2017
to retain exclusive rights with regard to the disc/spine technology. In addition, the Company believes that it has until February 2022
to complete the Phase 2 clinical trial in order to satisfy the final performance milestone such that the Company was not required to
pay the additional $ 250,000 by April 2019 pursuant to the SCTC Agreement to maintain its exclusive rights.

Chapter
11 Reorganization
On
March 20, 2020, the Company filed a voluntary petition commencing a case under chapter 11 of title 11 of the U.S. Code in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York. On August 7, 2020, the Company and Auctus, the Company’s largest
unsecured creditor and a stockholder as of the Petition Date, filed an Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”).
Pursuant to the Bankruptcy, for any outstanding principal and interest at the date of the Company’s Chapter 11 petition (except
for creditors who provided additional debt financing in connection with the Bankruptcy), 100 shares of the Company’s common stock
were issued for each dollar of allowed claim, with such shares subject to leak-out restrictions prohibiting the holder from selling,
without the consent of the Company, more than 33% of the issued shares during each of the three initial 30 day periods following the
Effective Date. As a result of the Chapter 11 petition, the conversion rights for the then outstanding notes were rescinded and were
subject to the conversion rights outlined above.
On
October 30, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Plan, as amended. Amendments
to the Plan are reflected in the Confirmation Order. On November 16, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan became effective.
The
material features of the Plan, as amended and confirmed by the Confirmation Order, are as follows:
i. Treatment
of the financing to the Company by Auctus of up to $ 7,000,000 which Auctus has provided or
committed to provide consisting of the debtor-in-possession loans made to the Company by
Auctus during the Chapter 11 Case (the “DIP Funding”) and additional funding
as described below.
ii. Auctus
has provided $ 3,500,000
in
funding to the Company (the “Initial Auctus Funding”) and is to provide, subject
to certain conditions, additional funding to the Company, as needed, in an amount equal to
$ 3,500,000 ,
less the sum of the debtor-in-possession loans made to the Company by Auctus during the Chapter
11 Case (inclusive of accrued interest) (approximately $ 1,227,000
as
of the Effective Date) and the costs incurred by Auctus as the debtor-in-possession lender
(the “DIP Costs”). The DIP Costs and the additional Plan costs in the aggregate
totaled $ 650,493 ,
of which $ 500,000
and
$ 150,493
were
recorded in debt discount and accrued expenses, respectively, on the consolidated balance
sheets. On September 27, 2021, these amounts were converted into secured convertible promissory
notes totaling an aggregate principal amount of $ 715,303 .
In addition, four other
persons and entitles (collectively, the “Other Lenders”) who held allowed general
unsecured claims provided funding to the Company in the aggregate amount of approximately
$ 348,000
(the
“Other Funding” and together with the Initial Auctus Funding, the “Funding”).
In consideration of the Funding, the Company has issued the following:
16
a. Secured
convertible notes of the Company (each, a “Secured Convertible Note”) in the
principal amount equal to the Funding; the payment of the Secured Convertible Notes is secured
by the grant of a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets; the
Secured Convertible Notes have the following features:
● Maturity
date of three years following the Effective Date;
● Interest
at the rate of 7 % per annum;
● The
right of the holder to convert the indebtedness into shares of common stock of the Company
at a price equal to the volume weighted average price for the common stock over the five
trading days immediately preceding the conversion; and
● Mandatory
conversion of all indebtedness at such time as the common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital
Market or another senior exchange on the same terms as provided to investors in connection

NOTE
6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Series A Preferred
Subsequent
to September 30, 2021, concurrent with the Company’s public offering, see Note 9 – Subsequent Events, the Company’s
Board of Directors adopted a resolution allowing for the authorization of and issuance of 1,543,458 shares of the Company’s Preferred
Stock, $ .01 par value per share, designated as Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A”).
Dividends
Series
A holders shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends on a pari passu basis with the
holders of the shares of the Company’s common stock based upon the number of shares of common stock into which the Series A is
then convertible.
Voting
Rights
Series
A holders shall be entitled to vote on all matter presented to the stockholders of the Company and shall be entitled to such number of
votes that equal the number of shares of common stock that each share of Series A held may be converted into; provided, however, that
in no event shall a Series A holder be entitled to vote more than 4.99 % of the then outstanding shares of common stock.
Conversion
Optional
Conversion - Each share of Series A shall be convertible, at any time, at the option of the Series A holder, into one share of common
stock; provided, however, that in no event shall a Series A holder be entitled to convert any shares of Series A to the extent that such
conversion would result in beneficial ownership by the Series A holder of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock.
Automatic
Conversion – In the event that an event occurs which has the effect of reducing a Series A holder’s beneficial ownership
of shares of common stock to less than 4.5 % of the then publicly disclosed outstanding shares of common stock, then within five business
days thereafter, the Series A holder shall provide notice to the Company to such effect. Such notice shall have the effect of a notice
of conversion such that the Series A holder’s post-conversion ownership of common stock will be 4.99% of the then publicly disclosed
outstanding shares of common stock.
Stock
Incentive Plan
On
March 18, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2021
Plan”). Pursuant to the 2021 Plan, a total of 1,175,000 shares of common stock are authorized to be issued pursuant to the grant
of stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and other incentive awards.
Warrant
and Option Valuation
The
Company has computed the fair value of warrants and options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected term used
for warrants and options issued to non-employees is the contractual life and the expected term used for options issued to employees and
directors is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified”
method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee option grants. The Company is utilizing an
expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of
the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined
from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument
being valued.

Claims and Assessments
Coventry
Enterprises, LLC
On
February 11, 2020, pursuant to an Order to Show Cause of the United States District Court of the Eastern District of New York (the “Court”),
in the matter of Coventry Enterprises, LLC vs. BioRestorative Therapies, Inc., pending the hearing of the plaintiff’s application
for a preliminary injunction, the Court issued a temporary restraining order enjoining the Company from issuing any additional shares
of stock except for purposes of fulfilling the plaintiff’s share reserve requests or conversion requests until such reserve requests
were fulfilled and enjoining the Company from reserving authorized shares for any other party until the plaintiff’s reserve requests
were fulfilled. Pursuant to a hearing held on February 13, 2020, the temporary restraining order with regard to the Company issuing shares
of common stock was not continued.
On
March 11, 2020, the Court ordered that the Company (i) convene and hold a special meeting, by no later than March 18, 2020, of the Board
of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), for approval of certain changes to the shares of the Company, as set forth below;
(ii) approve a reverse split and/or a stock consolidation, solely of the Company’s outstanding shares, at a ratio of 1,000 to 1,
(iii) approve of the continuation of the Company’s then total authorized shares of common stock at 2,000,000,000 shares; and (iv)
to call a special meeting of stockholders of the Company, within ten days of the special meeting of the Board and by not later than March
25, 2020, to approve the foregoing. On March 18, 2020, the Board considered the matter, and, based upon the Court order, determined to
approve the foregoing items, including the 1,000 to 1 reverse split, subject to the Company having available funds to effectuate such
items . As discussed above in Note 5 – Notes Payable – Chapter 11 Reorganization, on March 20, 2020, the Company filed
a petition commencing its Chapter 11 Case. As of the date of this report, the Company has not effected the 1,000 to 1 reverse
split; however, on October 27, 2021, the Company effected a 1-for-4,000 reverse split of its common stock.

Agreement also provides for the grant to Mr. Silva pursuant to the 2021 Plan of (i) a ten year option for the purchase of 293,479
shares of common stock of the Company and (ii) 146,740 RSUs of the Company (see Note 6 – Stockholders’ Deficit) for
additional information. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, the Company reduced the exercise price of these options from $ 47.60
per share to $ 13.50 per share and revised the vesting period (see Note 9 – Subsequent Events).
Conversion
of Convertible Notes
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, and prior to the Petition Date, certain lenders requested to exchange a portion of their outstanding
convertible note principal and accrued interest for shares of the Company’s common stock. As of the Petition Date these shares
had yet to be issued to the lenders; however, the shares of the Company’s common stock issued for unsecured claims as part of the
Plan to the certain lenders represented the aggregate unsecured claims less the principal and accrued interest that was represented in
the unaffected exchanges. The Company believes that there may be a potential contingency related to the non-issued shares that would
be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock and not monetary compensation.
On
June 24, 2021, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with one of the abovementioned lenders whereby the Company agreed to issue
750 shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of cash for an additional $ 30,000 of approved unsecured claims related to the
Plan. On July 16, 2021, the Company issued the 750 shares with a fair value of $ 28 per share.
Note
8 - LEASES
With
the adoption of ASC 842, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the balance sheet as ROU assets and corresponding
lease liabilities.
The
Company is a party to a lease for 6,800 square feet of space located in Melville, New York (the “Melville Lease”) with respect
to its corporate and laboratory operations. The Melville Lease was scheduled to expire in March 2020 (subject to extension at the option
of the Company for a period of five years) and provided for an annual base rental during the initial term ranging between $ 132,600 and
$ 149,260 . In June 2019, the Company exercised its option to extend the Melville Lease and entered into a lease amendment with the lessor
whereby the five-year extension term commenced on January 1, 2020, with annual base rent ranging between $ 153,748 and $ 173,060 .
When
measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, the Company discounted lease payments using its estimated
incremental borrowing rate at August 1, 2019. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied was 12 %.

Business
Overview
We develop therapeutic products
and medical therapies using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult (non-embryonic) stem cells. We are currently pursuing
our Disc/Spine Program with our initial investigational therapeutic product being called BRTX-100 . We submitted an IND
application to the FDA to obtain authorization to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial investigating the use of BRTX-100 , our lead
cell therapy candidate, in the treatment of chronic lower back pain arising from degenerative disc disease. We have received such authorization
from the FDA. We intend to commence such clinical trial during 2022 (assuming the receipt of necessary funding). We have obtained a license
to use technology for investigational adult stem cell treatment of disc and spine conditions, including protruding and bulging lumbar
discs. The technology is an advanced stem cell injection procedure that may offer relief from lower back pain, buttock and leg pain,
and numbness and tingling in the leg and foot. We are also developing our ThermoStem Program . This pre-clinical program involves
the use of brown adipose (fat) in connection with the cell-based treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity as well as hypertension, other
metabolic disorders and cardiac deficiencies. United States patents related to the ThermoStem Program were issued in September
2015, January 2019, March 2020, March 2021 and July 2021; Australian patents related to the ThermoStem Program were issued in
April 2017, June and October 2019, and August 2021; Japanese patents related to the ThermoStem Program were issued
in December 2017 and June 2021; Israeli patents related to the ThermoStem Program were issued in October 2019 and May 2020;
and European patents related to the ThermoStem Program were issued in April 2020 and January 2021.
We
have licensed a patented curved needle device that is a needle system designed to deliver cells and/or other therapeutic products or
materials to the spine and discs or other potential sites. We anticipate that FDA approval or clearance will be necessary for this device
prior to commercialization. We do not intend to utilize this device in connection with our contemplated Phase 2 clinical trial with regard
to BRTX-100 .
On October 27, 2021, we effected
a 1-for-4,000 reverse stock split. We have retroactively applied the reverse stock split made effective on October 27, 2021 to share
and per share amounts on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020. Our authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock were not affected as a result of
the reverse stock split.
Revenue
We derived all of our revenue
pursuant to a license agreement with the SCTC entered into in January 2012, as amended in November 2015. Pursuant to the license agreement,
the SCTC granted to us a license to use certain intellectual property related to, among other things, stem cell disc procedures and we
have granted to the SCTC a sublicense to use, and the right to sublicense to third parties the right to use, in certain locations in
the United States and the Cayman Islands, certain of the licensed intellectual property. In consideration of the sublicenses, the SCTC
has agreed to pay us royalties on a per disc procedure basis.

our sublicense agreement.
Marketing
and Promotion
Marketing
and promotion expenses include advertising and promotion, marketing and seminars, meals, entertainment and travel expenses. For the three
months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, marketing and promotion expenses remained consistent.
We
expect that marketing and promotion expenses will increase in the future as we increase our marketing activities following full commercialization
of our products and services.
Consulting
Consulting expenses consist
of consulting fees and stock-based compensation to consultants. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, consulting expenses decreased
by $33,594, or 100%, from $33,594 to $0, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease is primarily due to our
reduced usage of consultants as we continue to emerge from our Chapter 11 reorganization.
Research
and Development
Research
and development expenses include cash and non-cash compensation of (a) our Vice President of Research and Development; (b) our Scientific
Advisory Board members; and (c) laboratory staff and costs related to our brown fat and disc/spine initiatives. Research and development
expenses are expensed as they are incurred. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, research and development expenses decreased
by $13,626, or 5%, from $251,036 to $237,410, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease is primarily due
to a small decrease in stock compensation expense attributable to research and development.
29
We
expect that our research and development expenses will increase with the recommencement of our research and development initiatives during
the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and subsequent fiscal periods.
General
and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, severance costs and stock-based compensation to employees
(excluding any cash or non-cash compensation of our Vice President of Research and Development and our laboratory staff), as well as
corporate expenses such as legal and professional fees, investor relations and occupancy-related expenses. For the three months ended
September 30, 2021, general and administrative expenses increased by $3,118,492, or 916%, from $340,485 to $3,458,977,
as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase is primarily due to an increase of approximately $2,800,000
in stock-based compensation resulting from the issuances of 586,959 stock options and 293,479 RSUs.
We
expect that our general and administrative expenses will further increase as we expand our staff, develop our infrastructure and incur
additional costs to support the growth of our business.
Interest
expense
For
the three months ended September 30, 2021, interest expense increased $452,934, or 1,063%, as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2020. The increase was due to the increase in both interest and amortization of debt discount on outstanding notes payable
as a result of our restructuring under our Chapter 11 reorganization.
Reorganization
items, net
Reorganization
items, net consists primarily of costs associated the post-petition Chapter 11 bankruptcy. For the three months ended September 30, 2021,
we did not record reorganization items, net as compared to reorganization items, net of ($183,387) for the three months ended September

our sublicense agreement.
Marketing
and Promotion
Marketing
and promotion expenses include advertising and promotion, marketing and seminars, meals, entertainment and travel expenses. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2021, marketing and promotion expenses decreased by $19,011, or 68%, from $28,131 to $9,120, as compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease is primarily due to our reduced marketing plan as we continue to
emerge from our Chapter 11 reorganization.
We
expect that marketing and promotion expenses will increase in the future as we increase our marketing activities following full commercialization
of our products and services.
Consulting
Consulting
expenses consist of consulting fees and stock-based compensation to consultants. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, consulting
expenses decreased by $91,158, or 90%, from $101,195 to $10,037, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease
is primarily due to our reduced usage of consultants as we continue to emerge from our Chapter 11 reorganization.
Research
and Development
Research
and development expenses include cash and non-cash compensation of (a) our Vice President of Research and Development; (b) our Scientific
Advisory Board members; and (c) laboratory staff and costs related to our brown fat and disc/spine initiatives. Research and development
expenses are expensed as they are incurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, research and development expenses decreased
by $135,355, or 19%, from $698,917 to $563,562, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease is primarily due
to the decrease in stock compensation allocated to our research and development activities.
We
expect that our research and development expenses will increase with the recommencement of our research and development initiatives during
the year ending December 31, 2021.
General
and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, severance costs and stock-based compensation to employees
(excluding any cash or non-cash compensation of our Vice President of Research and Development and our laboratory staff), as well as
corporate expenses such as legal and professional fees, investor relations and occupancy related expenses. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2021, general and administrative expenses increased by $20,627,669, or 1,827%, from $1,129,218 to $21,765,887,
as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase is primarily due to an increase of approximately $19,500,000 in
stock-based compensation resulting from the issuances of 586,959 stock options and 293,479 RSUs.
We
expect that our general and administrative expenses will further increase as we expand our staff, develop our infrastructure and incur
additional costs to support the growth of our business.
31
Interest
expense
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2021, interest expense increased $189,089, or 13%, as compared to the nine months ended September
30, 2020. The increase was due to the increase in both interest and amortization of debt discount on outstanding notes payable as a result
of our restructuring under our Chapter 11 reorganization.
Loss
on extinguishment of notes payable, net

$ 1,129,716
$ 3,064,610

Notes Payable (Gross)
$ 10,041,342
$ 9,637,102
Availability
of Additional Funds
Based
upon our accumulated deficit and stockholders’ deficit of $113,742,990 and $4,879,304, respectively, as of September
30, 2021, along with our forecast for continued operating losses and our need for financing to fund our contemplated clinical trials,
as of such date, we required additional equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations.
As
of September 30, 2021, our outstanding debt of $10,041,342, together with interest at a rate of between 5% and 7% per annum, has
a maturity date of November 16, 2023, except for the PPP loan.
Our
operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures.
Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully
commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with
other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings.
32
We
may be unable to raise sufficient additional capital when we need it or raise capital on favorable terms. In addition, future financing
may require us to pledge certain assets and enter into covenants that could restrict certain business activities or our ability to incur
further indebtedness and may contain other terms that are not favorable to our stockholders or us. If we are unable to obtain adequate
funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or obtain funds by entering into financing
agreements on unattractive terms.
On November 9, 2021, we completed a public offering of units, each consisting of one share of common stock and a warrant for the purchase of one share
of common stock. Pursuant to the public offering, we issued and sold 2,300,000 units at a publc offering price of $10.00 per
unit and, pursuant to the exercise of an option granted to the underwriters, warrants for the purchase of 345,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $0.01 per warrant, less underwriting discounts and commissions.
Our
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate our continuation
as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values.
The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The following events have
mitigated the above factors with regards to our ability to continue as a going concern: (i) on November 9, 2021, we received net proceeds
of approximately $20,772,000 from our public offering, and (ii) in connection with the public offering, we exchanged all of our outstanding
convertible debt to shares of common stock, Series A preferred stock, and warrants. As a result of the above, we have sufficient cash
to fund operations for the twelve months subsequent to the filing date.
Cash
Flows
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, our sources and uses of cash were as follows:
Nine Months Ended September 30,

Operating
Activities
Net
cash used in operating activities was $2,184,894 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to the net loss of $23,900,157
which was primarily offset by non-cash expenses of $21,182,776 related primarily to amortization of debt discount and stock-based
compensation and $541,414 of cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of increases
in accrued interest and accounts payable, decreases in accounts receivable and prepaid and other current assets, all partially offset
by a decrease in lease liability. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,392,145 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020,
primarily due to the net loss of $5,511,375, which was partially offset by non-cash expenses of $3,047,219 related to amortization of
debt discount, accretion of interest expense, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of derivative liabilities, and loss on extinguishment
of notes payable and $1,072,011 of cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result
of increases in accounts payable, accrued interest, expenses and other current liabilities and decreases in accounts receivable, prepaid
expenses and other current assets.
Financing
Activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $250,000, which was due to $250,000 of net proceeds
from a loan received under the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program. Net cash provided by financing
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was $1,566,475, which was primarily due to $1,114,713
of proceeds from the DIP financing and $441,762 of net proceeds from debt financings.
33
We
anticipate that the costs to complete our Phase 2 clinical trials with regard to our Disc/Spine Program will be at least $12,000,000.
In addition, we anticipate approximately $45,000,000 in additional funding will be needed to complete the clinical trials using BRTX-100
(assuming the receipt of no revenues). As a result of the above, we have sufficient cash to fund operations
for the twelve months subsequent to the filing date.
Effects
of Inflation
We
do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, revenues or operating results during the periods presented.
Significant
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included
herein for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on April 30, 2021.
New
and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Any
new and recently adopted accounting pronouncements are more fully described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements herein for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that
is material to stockholders.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not
Applicable. As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports
under the Exchange Act 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, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls and procedures,
our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls
and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood
of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance
of achieving the desired control objectives.
34
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer, who is also our principal financial
officer, we are required to perform an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2021. Management has not completed such evaluation and, as such, has concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports
we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, who is also our principal
financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As a result of the material weakness in internal
controls over financial reporting described below, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021
were not effective.
Material
Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management
assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2021 based on the framework
established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as
of September 30, 2021 was not effective.
A
material weakness, as defined in the standards established by the Sarbanes-Oxley, is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies,
in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or
interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The
ineffectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses:
●
Inadequate
segregation of duties due to limited personnel consistent with control objectives;
●
Adherence
to formal policies and procedures post-bankruptcy; and
●
Lack
of risk assessment procedures on internal controls to detect financial reporting risks on a timely manner.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other
than described above there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our third quarter
of 2021 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART
II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal Proceedings
We
are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results
of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency,
self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company, threatened against or affecting
our Company, our common stock, our subsidiary or of our Company’s or our subsidiary’s officers or directors in their capacities
as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
An
investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors included in
the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC
on April 30, 2021, in addition to other information contained in those reports and in this quarterly report in evaluating the Company
and its business before purchasing shares of our common stock. The Company’s business, operating results and financial condition
could be adversely affected due to any of those risks.
35
Item
2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use Of Proceeds
During
the three months ended September 30, 2021, we issued the following securities in transactions not involving any public offering. For
each of the following transactions, we relied upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering or Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code as a security exchanged by an issuer
for a claim against the issuer in a bankruptcy plan of reorganization. For each such transaction, we did not use general solicitation
or advertising to market the securities, the securities were offered to a limited number of persons, the investors had access to information
regarding us (including information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, press releases made by us and information contained in filings with the bankruptcy court), and we were available
to answer questions by prospective investors. We reasonably believe that each of the investors is an accredited investor.
