Basis of Presentation, Organization and Other Matters
NeurAxis,
Inc. (“we,” “us,” the “Company,” or “NeurAxis”) was established in 2011 and incorporated
in the state of Indiana on April 17, 2012, under the name of Innovative Health Solutions, Inc. The name was changed to NeurAxis, Inc.
in March of 2022. Additionally, the Company filed a Certificate of Conversion to become a Delaware corporation on June 23, 2022. The
authorized shares were increased, and a par value established.
On
January 10, 2023, the Company’s board of directors authorized a 1-for-2 reverse stock split . All per share information has been
adjusted for this reverse stock split. The reverse split became effective on January 12, 2023. All share and per share amounts for the
common stock have been retroactively restated to give effect to the splits.
As
part of the conversion to a Delaware corporation, the total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation had
authority to issue was (1) 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $ 0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) and (ii) 1,120,000
shares of Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), 1,000,000 of which was designated as “Series
A Preferred Stock” and 120,000 of which was designated as “Series Seed Preferred Stock” with the rights, preferences,
powers, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations set forth in this Article IV of the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation.
All share amounts have been retroactively restated to give effect to these changes.
On
August 9, 2023, the Company consummated an initial public offering (“IPO”), conducted on a firm commitment basis, pursuant to which it sold 1,098,667
shares of its common stock at a price of $ 6.00
per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $ 6,592,002 .
Net proceeds to the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, 2022 deferred offering costs totaling $ 736,736
and offering expenses paid by the Company, were $ 4,110,721 .
All shares sold in our IPO were registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333- 269179), as amended,
declared effective by the SEC on August 9, 2023. Alexander Capital L.P. (“Alexander”) acted as sole book-running manager
for the offering and Spartan Capital Securities, LLC acted as co-manager for the offering. The underwriters did not exercise their
option to purchase up to an additional 164,801
shares of common stock. The Company paid the underwriters an underwriting discount of seven percent ( 7 %)
of the amount raised in the offering. In addition, we also paid the underwriters a non-accountable expense allowance in the amount
of 1 %
(such 8 %
in commissions and fees amounted to a total of $ 527,000 )
at closing, as well as $ 175,000
for the reimbursement of certain of the underwriters’ expenses. Additionally, as partial consideration for services rendered
in connection with the offering, the Company issued Alexander unregistered warrants to purchase an aggregate of 65,921
shares of Company common stock, representing 6.0 %
of the aggregate shares sold in the offering. The warrants have an initial exercise price of $ 7.20
per share (equal to 120 %
of the offering price per share), have a term of five years from the commencement of sales in the offering, and are exercisable at
any time.
On
August 15, 2024, the Company’s shareholders (i) authorized 5,000,000
shares of preferred stock of which 4,000,000
shares were designated as $ 0.001
par value “Series B Preferred Stock” with 2,073,524
shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2024, (ii)
retired 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and (iii) retired 120,000 shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock.
The
Company is headquartered in Carmel, Indiana. The Company specializes in the development, production, and sale of medical neuromodulation
devices.
The
Company has developed three FDA cleared products, the IB-STIM (DEN180057, 2019), the NSS-2 Bridge (DEN170018, 2017), and the original
510(K) clearance (K140530, 2014).
●
The
IB-STIM is a percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulator (PENFS) device that is indicated in patients 11-18 years of age with
functional abdominal pain associated with irritable bowel syndrome. The IB-STIM currently is the only product marketed and sold by
the Company.
●
The
NSS-2 Bridge is a percutaneous nerve field stimulator (PNFS) device indicated for use in the reduction of the symptoms of opioid
withdrawal. The NSS-2 Bridge device was licensed to Masimo Corporation in April 2020, and the Company received a one-time licensing
fee of $ 250,000 from Masimo. Masimo markets and sells this product as its Masimo Bridge, and the Company will not receive any further
licensing payments or other revenue from this product.
●
The
original 510(K) device was the EAD, an electroacupuncture device, now called NeuroStim. The EAD is no longer being manufactured,
sold or distributed but reserved only for research purposes.
The
Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and following the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by
U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s
annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of
the Company’s financial information. These unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the year ending December 31, 2024, or any other interim period or for any other future year. These unaudited financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December
31, 2023.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use
of Estimates and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.
GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting periods.
These
significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these
estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management
bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management
regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes
in facts and circumstances, historical experience, and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates
are adjusted accordingly. The Company uses estimates in accounting for, among other items, revenue recognition, allowance for credit
losses, stock-based compensation, income tax provisions, excess and obsolete inventory reserve, and impairment of property and equipment,
and intellectual property. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair
Value Measurements
The
Company accounts for financial instruments in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”).
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques 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 measurements) and
the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described
below:
Level
1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities in active markets that the reporting entity has
the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level
2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities: quoted
prices in markets that are not active; or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated
by observable market date, either directly or indirectly.
Level
3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets
or liabilities. These unobservable inputs reflect that reporting entity’s own assumptions about assumptions that market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using
pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair
value require significant management judgment or estimation.
The
Company’s Level 1 accounts include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, prepaids, and other current assets. Management
believes the estimated fair value of these accounts on September 30, 2024 approximate their carrying value as reflected in the balance
sheets due to the short-term nature of these instruments or the use of market interest rates for debt instruments.
9
The
Company’s Level 3 accounts include warrant liabilities. Inputs to determine fair value are generally unobservable
and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.
The valuation techniques involve management’s estimates and judgment based on unobservable inputs. The fair value estimates may
not be indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a market exchange. Additionally, there may be inherent uncertainties or changes
in the underlying assumptions used, which could significantly affect the current or future fair value estimates. Unobservable inputs
used in the models are significant to the fair values of the assets and liabilities.
There
were no transfers between any of the levels during the periods ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. In addition to assets
and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company’s assets and liabilities are also subject to
nonrecurring fair value measurements. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no assets that were measured on
a nonrecurring basis.
Basic
and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share
Earnings
or loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss), by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average of all potentially dilutive shares of common stock that were outstanding during the periods presented.
Basic
net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, which
is the case for September 30, 2024 and 2023 presented in these financial statements, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The
Company had the following potentially dilutive common stock equivalents at September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Revenue
Recognition
Neuraxis,
Inc. specializes in the development, production, and sale of medical neuromodulation devices to healthcare providers primarily located
in the United States. Patented and trademarked neuromodulation devices is the Company’s major product line. Products are generally
transferred at a point in time (rather than over time). Essentially all the Company’s revenue is generated from purchase order
contracts.
10
In
accordance with FASB’s ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue
when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects
to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines
are within the scope of ASC 606, it performs the following five steps:
(i)
identify
the contract(s) with a customer;
(ii)
identify
the performance obligations in the contract;
(iii)
determine
the transaction price;
(iv)
allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
(v)
recognize
revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The
Company applies the five-step model to contracts when it determines that it is probable it will collect substantially all the consideration
it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined
to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that
are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the
amount of the transaction price, after consideration of variability and constraints, if any, that is allocated to the respective performance
obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied.
The
Company estimates credit losses on accounts receivable by estimating expected credit losses over the contractual term of the receivable
using a discounted cash flow method. When developing this estimate of expected credit losses, the Company considers all available information
(past, current, and future) relevant to assessing the collectability of cash flows.
The
Company offers a Patient Assistance Program for patients without insurance coverage for IB-Stim. This program extends potential self-pay
discounts for IB-Stim devices, based upon household income and size.
Also,
the Company offers providers an opt-in program to address adequate insurance claim payments on IB-Stim devices. This program may extend
a rebate or invoice credit where the insurance payment and patient responsibility (i.e., deductible, co-payment, and/or co-insurance
amounts required by the Payer) are less than the acquisition cost of the IB-Stim device. The Company recognizes revenue at such a time
that collection of the amount due is assured.
The
following economic factors affect the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of the Company’s revenue and cash flows as indicated:
Type
of customer: Based on dollar amounts of revenue, essentially all of the goods sold by the Company are sold to healthcare customers
including hospitals and clinics. Sales to healthcare customers lack seasonality and have a mild correlation with economic cycles.
Geographical
location of customers: Sales to customers located within the United States represent essentially all of the Company’s sales.
Type
of contract: Sales contracts consist of purchase order contracts that tend to be short-term (i.e., less than or equal to one year
in duration).
Company’s
Performance Obligations with Customers:
Timing
of Satisfaction
The
Company typically satisfies its performance obligations as the goods are received at the customer’s destination.
Goods
that are shipped to customers are typically shipped FOB destination with freight prepaid by the Company. As such, ownership of goods
in transit transfer to the customer when received and the Company bears the associated risks (e.g., loss, damage, delay).
Shipping
and handling costs are recorded as cost of goods sold in the Statement of Operations.
11
Significant
Payment Terms
Payment
for goods sold by the Company is typically due after an invoice is sent to the customer, within 30 days. Invoices for goods are typically
sent to customers within three calendar days of shipment. The Company does not offer discounts if the customer pays some or all of an
invoiced amount prior to the due date.
None
of the Company’s contracts have a significant financing component.
Nature
Medical
devices that the Company contracts to sell and transfer to customers are manufactured by one specific third-party manufacturer. The manufacturer
is located within the state of Indiana. In no case does the Company act as an agent (i.e., the Company does not provide a service of
arranging for another party to transfer goods to the customer).
Returns,
Refunds, etc.
Orders
may not be cancelled after shipment. Customers may return devices within 10 days of delivery if the goods are found to be defective,
nonconforming, or otherwise do not meet the stated technical specifications. At the option of the customer, the Company shall either:
●
Refund
the price paid for any defective or nonconforming products.
●
Supply
and deliver to the customer replacement conforming products.
●
Reimburse
the customer for the cost of repairing any defective or nonconforming products.
At
the time revenue is recognized, the Company estimates expected returns and excludes those amounts from revenue. The Company also maintains
appropriate accounts to reflect the effects of expected returns on the Company’s financial position and periodically adjusts those
accounts to reflect its actual return experience.
Going
Concern
We
have incurred losses since inception and have funded our operations primarily with a combination of sales, debt, and the sale of capital
stock. As of September 30, 2024, we had a stockholders’ deficit of $ 1,793,932
and short-term outstanding borrowings of $ 147,688 .
As of September 30, 2024, we had cash of $ 260,885 and
a working capital deficit of $ 2,032,284 .
Our
future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including progress with developing, manufacturing, and marketing our technologies,
the time and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, and enforcing patent claims and other proprietary rights,
our ability to establish collaborative arrangements, marketing activities and competing technological and market developments, including
regulatory changes and overall economic conditions in our target markets. Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability requires
us to successfully market and secure purchase orders for our products from customers currently identified in our sales pipeline and to
new customers as well. The primary activity that will drive all customers and revenues is the adoption of insurance coverage by commercial
insurance carriers nationally, which is a top priority of the Company. These activities, including our planned research and development
efforts, will require significant uses of working capital through the rest of 2024 and beyond.
12
Management
evaluates whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern for a period of one year from the date the financial statements are issued.
To
date, the Company has experienced operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. Management believes that increased sales
and acceptance of their product by insurance providers will allow the Company to achieve profitability in the near term.
While
the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and in
its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering of its debt or equity securities, there can be no assurance
that it will be able to do so on reasonable terms, or at all. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and its ability to raise additional funds by
way of a public or private offering. Neither future cash generated from operating activities, nor management’s contingency plans
to mitigate the risk and extend cash resources through the evaluation period, are considered probable. As a result, substantial doubt
is deemed to exist about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As we continue to incur losses, our transition to
profitability is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support its cost structure. We may never achieve profitability,
and unless and until doing so, we intend to fund future operations through additional dilutive or nondilutive financing. There can be
no assurances, however, that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-19, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires the enhancement
of income tax disclosures to provide better insight into how an entity’s operations and related tax risks, planning and opportunities
affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The enhanced disclosures require (i) specific categories in a tabular rate reconciliation
including both amounts and percentages and (ii) additional information for reconciling items and income tax paid that meet a quantitative
threshold. Public business entities are required to adopt the standard for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. All other
entities are required to adopt the standard for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The adoption of the standard is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Related Party Transactions
The
Company has two demand notes receivable from shareholders related to the sale of common stock on January 1, 2016. Both notes’ initial
balances were $ 506,400 , with interest calculated monthly based on applicable federal rates. No payments have been received on the notes.
Since repayment is not assured, the Company provided an allowance for the entire balance of principal and interest as of December 31,
2019. The current allowance is $ 1,012,800 as of September 30, 2024. The current loan balances are as follows:

Mr.
Bradley Mitch Watkins, Director, provided certain sales, marketing and commercialization consulting services to the Company prior to
his appointment to the Board of Directors. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid Mr. Watkins $ 0 and
$ 10,000 , respectively, for these services. No amounts were owed to Mr. Watkins as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively,
for these services.
The
Company’s former Chief Financial Officer is contracted for services through a third-party public accounting firm. He is the
firm’s managing partner and majority shareholder. The firm is engaged by the Company to provide accounting and tax services on
a continuous basis. Fees paid for services were $ 148,106
and $ 304,158
for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company owed the firm for open invoices of $ 50,808
and $ 84,279
that are included in accounts payable as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
4.
Notes Payable
The
Company borrowed $ 250,000 on December 16, 2021, from Channel Partners Capital. The note called for 65 weekly payments of $ 4,923 with
the final payment scheduled for March 16, 2023. The note’s interest rate computes to a nominal rate of 40.9 %. The principal outstanding
as of January 1, 2022 was $ 244,048 . The Company borrowed $ 122,000 on September 16, 2022, to bring the principal balance back to $ 250,000 .
After making scheduled payments, the Company borrowed $ 107,231 on May 24, 2023, to bring the principal balance back to $ 250,000 . The
terms of the note are the same as the previous note with the final payment made on August 22, 2024. The principal outstanding as of September
30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was zero and $ 148,062 , respectively. The Company believes that the advancement of additional funds is
a minor modification to the terms of the existing loan since the difference in present value of the cash flows under the terms of the
new loan is less than 10% of the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original loan. As a result, the modification
was accounted for as a modification of debt.
The
lender was granted and assigned a continuing security interest in all the Company’s personal property assets including, but not
limited to, business equipment, inventory, accounts, accounts receivable, intellectual property, chattel paper, instruments, deposit
accounts, commercial tort claims, contract rights, licenses, claims, and general intangibles.
On
November 8, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with a shareholder for the issuance 1,260,504
shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate
purchase price of $ 3,000,000 paid in 15 monthly installments of $ 200,000 each, commencing on the later of January 10, 2024 or a date
after stockholders approve an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the creation of the Series B
Preferred Stock (the “Stockholder Approval”). The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into shares of common
stock of the Company without any further consideration. Following the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, it will rank senior to
the common stock with respect to payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. Due to a delay in Stockholder
Approval, the Company amended the SPA on February 12, 2024 to issue a promissory note, due and payable on the earlier of 15 months or
12 months if the Series B Preferred Stock has not been authorized, convertible into Series B Preferred Stock with identical funding amounts
and terms.
In
February and March of 2024, the Company entered into a series of convertible promissory notes totaling $ 3,135,000 with terms identical
to the $ 3,000,000 convertible promissory note issued on February 12, 2024 (collectively referred to as the “Original 2024 Convertible
Promissory Notes”).
14
The
2024 Original Convertible Promissory Notes bear interest at 8.5 % per annum payable quarterly in either cash or common stock at the election
of the Company. At any time following the date of shareholder approval to authorize the creation of Series B Preferred Stock prior to
the maturity date, the investor may elect to convert all or part of the principal into the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock at
a conversion price per share equal to $ 2.38 . Without limiting the forgoing, all principal amounts outstanding on the maturity date will
automatically convert into the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to cumulative dividends
at 8.5 % per annum (whether or not declared) payable quarterly in either cash or common stock at the $ 2.38 conversion price at the election
of the Company. Upon conversion to Series B Preferred Stock, the investor may elect, at its option at any time, to convert all or part
of the Series B Preferred Stock plus accrued but unpaid dividends into an equivalent amount of common stock at the $ 2.38 conversion price.
As of September 30, 2024, no investor has converted any portion of the Original 2024 Convertible Notes into Series B Preferred Stock
as the shareholders have not yet authorized its issuance.
On
May 21, 2024, the Company entered into three convertible promissory notes with related institutional accredited investors with terms
similar to the Original 2024 Convertible Promissory Notes (collectively referred to as the “Amended 2024 Convertible Promissory
Notes”) for an additional amount of $ 3,000,000 . Certain provisions to the SPA and Certificate of Designation previously issued
on February 12, 2024 changed, including (i) the number of shares of preferred stock to be designated as Series B Preferred Stock was
increased from 1,500,000 to 5,000,000 , (ii) the stated value of the Series B Preferred Stock was changed from $ 1.00 to $ 2.38 per share,
(iii) the right to receive dividends will expire automatically on June 30, 2025, (iv) the liquidation rights will automatically expire
on June 30, 2025, and (v) the number of shares of the common stock that a holder of Series B preferred stock is entitled to receive shall
not exceed the maximum percentage chosen by the holder, which is initially set at between 4.99 % and 19.99 % until shareholder approval
is obtained, of the number of outstanding shares of the common stock at the time of the conversion of the Series B preferred stock shares.
The
maturity date shall be on the earlier of (i) June 21, 2025, (ii) upon written demand occurring on or after March 21, 2025 in the event
that the Series B preferred shares have not been duly authorized on or before such date, or (iii) immediately upon the occurrence of
an event of default. Automatic conversion into shares of Series B preferred stock (at a conversion price of $ 2.38 per share) will occur
following the date of shareholder approval. In the event the Company fails to obtain shareholder approval before August 15, 2024, rights
exist to convert the outstanding amount into shares of the common stock, at a price per share of $ 2.38 .
As
of August 15, 2024, the Company received $ 4,935,000 of the principal amount of the Amended 2024 Convertible Notes with the remainder
due in monthly installments through March of 2025. On August 15, 2024, the Company’s shareholders authorized 5,000,000 shares of
preferred stock of which 4,000,000 shares were designated as $ 0.001 par value Series B preferred stock. Pursuant to the Amended 2024
Convertible Promissory Notes, the outstanding principal balance of $ 4,935,000 was mandatorily converted into 2,073,524 Series B Preferred
Shares at a conversion price of $ 2.38 .
On
August 9, 2024, the Company entered into a promissory note to finance the premiums on its annual directors and officers insurance
policy, bearing interest at a rate of 7.40 %
per annum and maturing on June 9, 2025. The outstanding balance of $ 166,149 consisted of a $ 147,688 note payable and $ 18,461 in
accounts payable on the condensed balance sheets as of September 30, 2024.
The
Company’s private placement agent fees included (i) 10% of the Original 2024 Convertible Promissory Notes funded principal amount
and (ii) warrants calculated as 6.0% of the funded principal amount divided by the $2.38 exercise price. The fair value of the warrants
of $97,465 were deferred as a financing fee and classified as additional paid in capital. The private placement agreement was terminated
on March 18, 2024 pursuant to an new advisory agreement (See Note 12).
Accrued
interest totaled $ 66,648 and
$ 66,648 as
of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Interest expense totaled $ 64,676 and $ 102,628 for the three months ended
September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $ 171,934 and $ 453,869 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023,
respectively. Amortization of the debt discount on the Amended 2024 Convertible Notes totaled $ 40,888 and
$ 126,387 for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Upon mandatory conversion of the Amended 2024 Convertible
Promissory Notes to Series B Preferred Stock, the Company wrote off the amortized debt discount of $ 165,577 to
additional paid in capital included in stockholder’s deficit on the condensed balance sheet.
5.
Leases
At
the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and
circumstances present in the arrangement. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use
assets and current and non-current lease liabilities, as applicable.
15
Operating
lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are initially recorded based on the present value of lease payments over
the expected remaining lease term. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as incentives received.
The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental
borrowing rate to discount lease payments, which reflects the fixed rate at which the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis
the amount of the lease payments in the same currency, for a similar term, in a similar economic environment. Prospectively, the Company
will adjust the right-of-use assets for straight-line rent expense, or any incentives received and remeasure the lease liability at the
net present value using the same incremental borrowing rate that was in effect as of the lease commencement or transition date. The Company
has elected not to recognize leases with an original term of one year or less on the balance sheet. The Company typically only includes
an initial lease term in its assessment of a lease arrangement. Options to renew a lease are not included in the Company’s assessment
unless there is reasonable certainty that the Company will renew. Certain leases may contain rent escalation clauses, either fixed or adjusted periodically for inflation
of market rates, that are factored into the calculation of lease payments to the extent they are fixed and determinable at lease inception.
The Company also has variable lease payments that do not depend on a rate or index, primarily for items such as common area maintenance
and real estate taxes, which are recorded as expenses when incurred.
Assumptions
made by the Company at the commencement date are re-evaluated upon occurrence of certain events, including a lease modification. A lease
modification results in a separate contract when the modification grants the lessee an additional right of use not included in the original
lease and when lease payments increase commensurate with the standalone price for the additional right of use. When a lease modification
results in a separate contract, it is accounted for in the same manner as a new lease.
Entities
may elect not to separate lease and non-lease components. The Company has elected to account for lease and non-lease components together
as a single lease component for all underlying assets and allocate all the contract consideration to the lease component only.
The
Company’s leases are comprised of operating leases for office space. At the inception of the lease, the Company determines whether
the lease contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases
are classified as operating or finance leases at the commencement date of the lease. Operating leases are recorded as operating lease
right-of-use assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in the Balance Sheets. The Company did not have any finance
leases as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The
Company has two leases primarily consisting of office space in Versailles and Carmel, Indiana. The
lease in Versailles started January 1, 2022 and has a term of one year, with automatic one year renewal, unless 60 day notice of vacating
is given, commencing on the execution hereof and continuing through December 31 st of each year. The current monthly lease
payment for this lease is $ 1,800 with a 4 % per annum increase. The new lease in Carmel started January 1, 2024. The initial term is five
years and five months. The monthly lease payment started at $ 6,721 with an annual increase of 2.5 %. As long as the Company is not in
default, it is only obligated to pay an amount equal to 50% of the monthly base rent for months 1-10.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $ 74,314 and $ 35,678 of operating lease expense, including short-term
lease expense and variable lease costs.

Warrant
Issuances
In
connection with a bridge loan, the Company issued a warrant on September 18, 2018 that allows the holder to purchase common stock from
the Company at a share price of $ 4.38 per share. The number of shares was based on a formula tied to the final amount of loans made by
the holder of $ 375,000 , multiplied by 150 %, and divided by $ 70.03 . The number of shares based on this formula is 12,852 . The warrant
contains certain rights in the event of liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company. If the fair market value of one share is
greater than the warrant price, the holder may elect to receive a number of shares equal to the value of the warrant. If the exercise
is in connection with the sale of the Company, the holder may, at its option, condition its exercise of the warrant upon the consummation
of such transaction. The warrant expires on September 18, 2028 and can be exercisable either in whole or from time to time in part prior
to the expiration date.
18
The
Company issued a second warrant on September 6, 2019, under similar terms but is a penny warrant that allows the holder to purchase 40,000
shares of common stock and is subject to adjustment for certain equity events. The warrant contains certain rights in the event of liquidation,
merger, or consolidation of the Company. The warrant expires on September 6, 2029. This warrant was converted to 39,924 shares of common
stock on December 28, 2023. The fair market value of the stock on that day was calculated as the average of the daily closing prices
per share for the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the second trading day prior to such date or $ 2.61 per share. Since the
fair value was greater than the warrant price of $0.01 per share the holder elected to receive the number of shares equal to 40,000 times
the difference between the fair market value and the exercise price divided by the fair market value, resulting in 39,924.
The
Company issued a third warrant to Masimo Corporation on April 9, 2020. This warrant was pre-funded in the amount of $ 2,734,340 . The warrant
allows the holder to purchase 289,779 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at $ 9.44 per share and is subject to adjustment for certain
equity events. The warrant contains certain rights in the event of liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company. There will be
no additional purchase price for the Warrants. In the event that all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are converted, automatically
or by action of the holders thereof, into Common Stock, including, without limitation, in connection with the Company’s initial,
underwritten public offering and sale of its Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, then from and
after the date on which all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been so converted, this Warrant shall be exercisable
for such number of shares of Common Stock into which the Warrant Shares would have been converted had the Warrant Shares been outstanding
on the date of such conversion, and the Exercise Price shall equal the Exercise Price in effect as of immediately prior to such conversion
divided by the number of shares of Common Stock into which one share of Series A Preferred Stock would have been converted, all subject
to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. On August 14, 2023, the 144,890

Preferred Stock
On
August 15, 2024, the Company’s shareholders authorized 5,000,000
shares of preferred stock of which 4,000,000
shares were designated as $ 0.001
par value Series B Preferred Stock with 2,073,524
shares issued and outstanding as of September
30, 2024. Series B Preferred Stock shareholders vote with Common Stock shareholders on an as-converted basis and not as a separate class.
Cumulative dividends accrue at 8.5 %
per annum and are due and payable in either cash for common shares as the Company’s discretion on a quarterly basis through June
30, 2025. Series B Preferred Stock converts to common stock on a 1:1 basis, subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations
and similar events as well as unpaid dividends thereon, solely at the election of the holder at any time.
Prior
to August 15, 2024 the Company had 1,000,000
and 120,000
shares authorized as Series A and Series Seed Preferred Stock, respectively, of which zero
shares are issued and outstanding for both classes of preferred stock as of December 31, 2023, respectively. The Series A and Series
Seed Preferred Stock (i) voted together with common stock on an as-converted basis, and not as separate classes and (ii) converted
1:1 to common stock at any time at option of holder, subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations, and similar
events. The Series A Preferred Stock carried an annual 8 %
cumulative dividend, payable upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. For any other dividends or
distributions, the Series A Preferred Stock participated with common stock on an as-converted basis. The Company’s 1,000,000
shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 120,000
shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock were retired on August 15, 2024.
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Series B Preferred Stock shareholders maintain priority preference over all other
classes of capital stock. A merger or consolidation (other
than one in which stockholders of the Company own a majority by voting power of the outstanding shares of the surviving or acquiring
corporation) and a sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
will be treated as a liquidation event, thereby triggering payment of the liquidation preferences.
As
of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no preferred stock dividends declared or paid. Series B Preferred Stock
un declared cumulative dividends totaled $ 44,820 and $ 0 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Warrant Liabilities
Management
evaluates all of the Company’s financial instruments and contracts, including issued warrants to purchase its Class A common
stock and Series B Preferred Stock, to determine if such instruments are liabilities or contain features that qualify as embedded
derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC 815-15. The classification of these financial instruments, including whether such
instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.
The
Company utilizes a Black-Scholes option-pricing model for warrants that have an option to convert at a variable number of shares to compute
the fair value and to mark to market the fair value of the warrant at each balance sheet date. The inputs utilized in the application
of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model included an expected remaining term of each warrant as of the valuation date, estimated volatility
of 65.3 %, and a risk-free rate of 3.6 %.
Risk-free
interest rate: The Company uses the risk-free interest rate of a U.S. Treasury Note adjusted to be on a continuous return basis to align
with the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
Dividend
yield: The Company uses a 0 % expected dividend yield as the Company has not paid dividends to date and does not anticipate declaring
dividends in the near future.
Volatility:
The Company calculates the expected volatility based on comparable company’s historical stock prices with a look back period commensurate
with the period to maturity.
22
Expected
term: The Company’s remaining term is based on the remaining contractual maturity of the warrants.

Derivative Liabilities
The
Company accounts for derivative financial instruments as either equity or liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives
and Hedging , or ASC 815, based on the characteristics and provisions of each instrument. Embedded derivatives are required to be
bifurcated from the host instruments and recorded at fair value if the derivatives are not clearly and closely related to the host instruments
on the date of issuance. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether
or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The
Company identified derivative instruments arising from the conversion shares from convertible notes in Note 4 as of December 31, 2023.
The
Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation model for commitment shares that have an option to convert at a variable number of shares to
compute the fair value of the derivative and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. The inputs
utilized in the application of the Monte Carlo model included a starting stock price of $ 9.20 per share, an expected remaining term of
each warrant as of the valuation date, estimated volatility of 80.0 %, drift, and a risk-free rate ranging from 3.5 % to 5.5 %.
Risk-free
interest rate: The Company uses the risk-free interest rate of a U.S. Treasury Note adjusted to be on a continuous return basis to align
with the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
Dividend
yield: The Company uses a 0 % expected dividend yield as the Company has not paid dividends to date and does not anticipate declaring
dividends in the near future.
Volatility:
The Company calculates the expected volatility based on comparable company’s historical stock prices with a look back period commensurate
with the period to maturity.
Expected
term: The Company’s remaining term is based on the remaining contractual maturity of the warrants.

improve shareholder value and to contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company. The agreements had an employment start
date of October 1, 2022, with initial terms from 2 to 5 years and optional one-year renewals .
The
total base salaries for the nine key employees in the agreements are $ 1,920,000 per year with various provisions for annual increases.
In addition to base salaries, eight of the employees have a provision for a special one-time incentive payment to be paid in a lump sum
after the start date. The total amount of these special incentive payments is $ 1,100,000 . The special incentive payment amount includes

agreements whereas the Company will pay a special bonus equal to the aggregate of the strike price or exercise price of all their stock
options plus a tax gross-up payment. The special bonus shall be paid in twenty percent ( 20 %) installments starting January 2, 2024, and
the same date each of the next four years. As a condition of the payment, the key employee must exercise at least 20 % of their stated
number of stock options. There are additional provisions to cover termination and change of control events.

to our financial condition as a whole or may negatively affect our operating results if changes to our business operations are required.
The cost to defend such litigation may be significant and may require a significant diversion of our resources, and there is no guarantee
that we will be able to successfully defend against any such litigation regardless of particular merits. There also may be adverse publicity
associated with litigation that could negatively affect customer perception of our business, regardless of whether the allegations are
valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. Insurance may not be available on favorable terms, at all, or in sufficient amounts
to cover any liabilities with respect to these or other matters. A judgment or other liability in excess of our insurance coverage for
any claims could adversely affect our business, financial condition and the results of our operations.
On
February 6, 2019, plaintiff Ritu Bharnbhani, M.D., initiated a lawsuit against Innovative Health Solutions, Inc. and others in the United
States District Court for the District of Maryland. Plaintiffs Bhambhani and Sudhir Rao subsequently amended the complaint, with the
Third Amended Complaint (“Complaint”) containing the most recent set of allegations. The Complaint asserted claims under
the RICO Act, as well as of fraudulent misrepresentation, intentional misrepresentation by concealment, and civil conspiracy and sought
compensatory damages in excess of $ 5 million, pre-judgment interest, punitive damages, attorney’s fees, court costs and designation
of the case as a class action. The Complaint states that the Company, distributors of the Company’s product, and medical billing
and coding consultants allegedly made misrepresentations to the plaintiffs that the Company’s NeuroStim device and related procedures
could be billed to, and reimbursed by, Medicare and other insurance payors as a surgically implantable neurostimulator. Plaintiffs claim
to have suffered damages when Medicare administrative contractors declined to pay plaintiffs for their use of the device.

On
February 11, 2022, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment based upon the plaintiffs not being proper parties to assert claims
against the Company. On June 14, 2022, the Court granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed the Complaint.
On
July 14, 2022, plaintiffs Ritu Bhambhani and Sudhir Rao filed a notice of appeal with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Company
filed a motion to dismiss. On January 4, 2023, the Court issued an order that stated it was deferring a ruling on the motion to dismiss
the appeal and that it would address those arguments at the same time that it addressed the substantive merits of the case. As of May
5, 2023, the parties have submitted their appellate briefs to the Fourth Circuit. No date has been set for either oral argument or for
issuance of a decision by the court. While it is too early to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter, we continue to believe we
have meritorious defenses, that the dismissal of the Complaint should be upheld, and intend to continue to defend this matter vigorously.
On
July 14, 2022, plaintiffs Ritu Bhambhani, LLC; Box Hill Surgery Center, LLC; Pain and Spine Specialists of Maryland, LLC; and SimCare
ASC, LLC initiated a lawsuit against the Company and others in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. The plaintiffs
in this lawsuit are business entities owned or partially owned by the plaintiffs that initiated the litigation described above. The Complaint
asserted claims under the RICO Act, as well as fraudulent misrepresentation, intentional misrepresentation by concealment, and civil
conspiracy and seeks compensatory damages in excess of $ 75,000 , pre-judgment interest, punitive damages, attorney’s fees, and court
costs. The Complaint states that the Company, distributors of the Company’s product, and medical billing and coding consultants
allegedly made misrepresentations to the plaintiffs that the Company’s NeuroStim device and related procedures could be billed
to, and reimbursed by, Medicare and other insurance payors as a surgically implantable neurostimulator. Plaintiffs claim to have suffered
damages when Medicare administrative contractors declined to pay plaintiffs for their use of the device.
On
September 28, 2022, the Company filed a motion to dismiss all claims. On May 25, 2023, the Court issued an Order and a Memorandum Opinion
which dismissed the plaintiff’s claims related to the RICO Act. The remaining claims are still pending, and no trial date has been
set for the case.
The
Court has vacated its Scheduling Order at the parties’ request so that the parties could try to resolve the disputes in both cases
through an independent third-party mediator. No mediation date has been set. While it is too early to predict the ultimate outcome of
this matter, we believe the Company has meritorious defenses and intends to defend this matter vigorously.
