+Added: that has been submitted for review by the FDA for safety evaluation and eventual marketing in the United States and around the world.
+Added: Determinations of the safety and efficacy of our devices in the United States are solely within the authority of the FDA.
+Added: recognize that an additional barrier to treatment in today’s mental health treatment landscape -- beyond the concerns about safety,
+Added: efficacy and side-effects that have been associated with conventional mental health treatments such as ECT (shock therapy), drugs and
+Added: psychotherapy -- is stigma.
+Added: We have received industry reports and feedback that many patients that struggle with mood disorders have
+Added: the stigma of embarrassment associated with psychiatrists and psychotherapy (e.g., counselling with a therapist).
+Added: Additional stigmas
+Added: and other issues are associated with the side effects of medication prescribed by psychiatrists.
+Added: When we researched the current pharmaceuticals
+Added: model, public information highlighted the many side effects associated with these medications.
+Added: Frequently, patients would stop taking
+Added: the medication because of the uncomfortable side effects.
+Added: Additional public information mentions dependency and withdrawal issues associated
+Added: with medication for psychiatric disorders.
+Added: address the embarrassment stigma, we are developing a new virtual clinic that will allow the physician to diagnose a mental health issue
+Added: in the privacy of a tele-psychiatry virtual platform.
+Added: After diagnosis, the physician will prescribe the Nexalin Gen-3 headset to the
+Added: patient for treatment.
+Added: Next, the Gen-3 device will be shipped to the patient’s home.
+Added: After patient receives the device, they will
+Added: pair the headset device with an app in the patient’s smart phone.
+Added: The app will communicate with the Nexalin cloud servers to authorize
+Added: the device for treatment according to the protocol designed by the physician.
+Added: The physician will monitor treatment compliance and other
+Added: health related issues in a private physician dashboard that connects through the Nexalin app and cloud servers.
+Added: We believe that to preserve
+Added: product safety and integrity for home use, the headset device will require physician oversight that will include a prescription for use
+Added: with a monthly authorization provided by the physician after a monthly virtual visit.
+Added: All appointments will be in a virtual setting to
+Added: provide privacy and convenience for the physician and patient.
+Added: The Nexalin virtual clinic will be provided in a proprietary virtual platform
+Added: currently in the design stage.
+Added: China Gen-2 15 milliamp device was recently approved in China by the NMPA for the treatment of insomnia and depression in China.
+Added: device and all other clinical devices will include a single use electrode for long term revenue streams.
+Added: The USA Gen-2 device will have
+Added: a fresh and modern appearance that meets the technology standards of the digital tech world of 2023.
+Added: Early adopters of the Gen-1 device
+Added: will be able to access additional firmware upgrades which are planned to enhance the previously purchased devices to the new symmetric15-milliamp
+Added: Our Gen-2 device will be equipped with RFID technology that exchanges electrode usage data with a reader in the main device.
The purpose of RFID is to track and maintain control of the proprietary single use electrode.
−Removed: Our electrode chip will be programmed to exchange data with the device and allow activation for a single treatment with a new electrode only.
−Removed: The use of a disposable RFID ensures a recurring revenue stream on the device and protects against any generic knockoffs.
−Removed: This upgrade in technology also ensures the proprietary nature of the electrodes that support treatment outcomes are sustained.
−Removed: The revenue projections in Phase 2 are based on device sales and recurring disposable electrode sales.
−Removed: We will also be developing a new headset design for our products that will offer medical professionals the opportunity to prescribe the headset device — Gen-3 — for use in a patient’s home to increase access to mental health treatment.
−Removed: We recognize that an additional barrier to treatment in today’s mental health treatment landscape — beyond the concerns of safety, efficacy and discomfort that have been associated with conventional mental health treatments such as drugs, psychotherapy and other forms of electrical stimulation — is stigma.
−Removed: We have received industry reports and feedback that many patients that struggle with mood disorders have a stigma of embarrassment associated with psychotherapy (e.g., counselling with a therapist).
−Removed: Additional barriers to treatment are the side effects of medication prescribed by psychiatrists.
−Removed: To address the embarrassment stigma, we are developing a new headset design to emit our waveform technology which will offer medical professionals the opportunity to prescribe the headset device for use in a patient’s home — referred to as Generation 3 or Gen-3 — to increase access to mental health treatment.
−Removed: We believe that in order to preserve product safety and integrity for home use, the headset device will require physician oversight including prescriptions for use, monthly authorization for continued patient use and monthly physician monitoring through our digital management platform.
−Removed: According to Infinium Global Research, the global neurostimulation device market is projected to grow from approximately $4.7 billion in 2018 to approximately $9.8 billion for a CAGR of 10.9% from 2019-2025.
−Removed: There are several drivers of this growth.
−Removed: First, many mental health disorders are treated with psychotherapy or pharmaceutical intervention and have limited efficacy and, in the case of the latter increased awareness of the side effects of medication.
−Removed: Second, the rising number of geriatric patients, particularly with respect to Alzheimer’s disease, will increase demand for mental health treatments.
−Removed: Third, increased diagnosis of cases of anxiety, depression and various other mental health disorders in all age populations will contribute to market expansion.
−Removed: Doctors and patients will seek effective, safer and more cost-effective alternatives to current care standards.
−Removed: Advancements in neurostimulation techniques, such as those we are developing, will provide treatment options that address irregularities in the brain’s functional health.
−Removed: These functional brain health issues are believed to be the underlying cause of many mental health disorders and chronic diseases.
−Removed: Overall, we believe that our advanced waveform, technological upgrades and the development of a modern headset monitored with our IT management platform, evidenced in our Gen-2 and Gen-3 devices, will position us with the opportunity to disrupt the traditional mental health treatment model.

−Removed: and publication milestones, which Wider has agreed to undertake but not yet completed.
−Removed: Following its formation, the Joint Venture
−Removed: will design and implement a comprehensive business model and distribution plan for our devices in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
−Removed: The first phase of distribution in China includes implementation of a sales strategy by Wider for mainland China and other territories

−Removed: As originally contemplated, each of the
−Removed: parties to the joint venture would hold a 50% interest in the equity, profits and losses, shareholder voting, management control
−Removed: and rights to use production capacity of the facility.
−Removed: The Company will provide a global exclusive technology license for ADI
−Removed: treatment to the JV and Wider will contribute funding for the design and execution of Company approved clinical studies, which
−Removed: we had estimated at the time of our initial public offering would have cost the Company approximately $4,800,000 if the clinical
−Removed: studies had been undertaken by us in the United States.
−Removed: The Company will also provide the Joint Venture (the “JV”)
−Removed: with a license for exclusive distribution of its technology for the treatment of ADI in additional territories.
−Removed: completed, will be controlled by an equally represented Board of Directors in which neither entity has sole decision-making ability
−Removed: over day-to-day or significant operational decisions.
−Removed: On April 6, 2020, the Company entered into
−Removed: a three-year service agreement with Wider, pursuant to which Wider agreed to perform clinical trials associated with the formation
−Removed: In consideration, the Company and certain designated Wider shareholders entered into stock issuance agreements for the
−Removed: issuance of 450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and simultaneously with the execution of the service agreement,
−Removed: Wider contributed $200,000 to the Company.
−Removed: During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued 150,000 shares to affiliates
−Removed: of Wider in satisfaction of the obligation.
−Removed: The fair value of the 150,000 shares issued (less the contributed $200,000 in cash)
−Removed: resulted in a charge to stock-based compensation of $550,000 and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on
−Removed: the statement of operations.
−Removed: The remaining 300,000 shares will be issued in the following schedule upon Wider’s successful
−Removed: completion of the following milestones (i) 50% upon successful completion of the fourth of four clinical trials pursuant to the
−Removed: terms and conditions of the service agreements and (ii) 50% upon all four trials being submitted for publication in international
−Removed: medical journals satisfactory to the Company.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, these milestones have not been met.
−Removed: In March 2022, we entered into a second supplement to the Joint Venture agreement with Wider, whereby the parties confirmed that the Joint Venture had not yet been established and is subject to further review and analysis of regulatory issues in China and the United States, trade and political issues between the two countries and potential changes in the use and market for the Company’s products and technology.
−Removed: Pursuant to the second supplement, the parties agreed to use their commercial efforts to complete documentation by September 30, 2022.
−Removed: In light of general economic conditions in China and the United States and the continued impact of regulatory issues in China and the United States and trade and political issues between the two counties, the parties determined to further extend the time frame to complete establishment of the joint venture to September 30, 2023 and entered into a supplement 3 to the Joint Venture Agreement to memorialize such extension.
−Removed: The parties intend to continue to work together to complete the establishment prior to such extended time.
−Removed: Although Wider continues its efforts on clinical trials in various areas of brain related diseases, it is not possible at this time to estimate when normal sales activities for our devices will resume.
−Removed: As of September 30, 2022, the joint venture
−Removed: has not been established.
−Removed: During the first nine months of 2022, we
−Removed: sold Gen-2 devices in China through Wider which agreed to act as a distributor on a limited basis pursuant to a separate agreement
−Removed: entered into in May 2019, pending formation of the Joint Venture.
−Removed: During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we derived revenue
−Removed: of approximately $1,183,367 from this distribution relationship.
−Removed: As a result of the Covid pandemic and the China government’s
−Removed: implementation of severe restrictions on businesses and people, we anticipate that we will incur a significant and material negative
−Removed: impact on sales and revenue from the China market in the fourth quarter of 2022.
−Removed: As with all other economic activities in China,
−Removed: at this point it is impossible to predict when orders will again commence.
−Removed: In September of 2021, the NMPA, the equivalent of the United States FDA, approved the Gen-2 device for marketing and sale in China for the treatment of insomnia and depression.
−Removed: These treatment indications and clearances from the NMPA have allowed us to market and sell the Gen-2 device in China for the treatment of insomnia and depression.
−Removed: The significant cost of studies and the approval process in China has been borne by Wider.
−Removed: We do not believe that any other regulatory or governmental approvals are required for the sale of our devices, including the sales made to date, by Wider in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
−Removed: If and when the potential Joint Venture is formed and it completes sales of our devices in China, there are no regulatory or other restrictions that would restrict either (i) the transfer from China of any proceeds resulting from such sales by Wider to the potential Joint Venture in Hong Kong, other than standard compliance with China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange policies and approval process, or (ii) our receipt of our share of such proceeds from Hong Kong to us in the United States, which is not subject to SAFE’s policies and approval process.
−Removed: According to the SAFE guidelines on foreign exchange management of trade in goods (implemented on August 1, 2012) and the PRC guidelines on foreign exchange business under current account (2020 version) implemented on August 28, 2020, there are no restrictions on the transfer of sales proceeds by Chinese domestic companies to Hong Kong companies or foreign companies as long as a company is in standard compliance with the SAFE’s policies and approval process.
−Removed: The current standard SAFE procedures are as follows:
−Removed: a Chinese domestic company shall first apply to the local foreign exchange bureau for directory registration by presenting an application form and business license;
−Removed: after the domestic company is registered in the directory and provides documentation to prove the authenticity of the business transaction between the parties, such as the contract for the transaction, banks in China will approve the transfer of the sales proceeds.
−Removed: Although there can be no assurance in light of recent worldwide events such as the Russia and Ukraine war and continuing changes within the China legal system, we expect to consummate the formation of the potential Joint Venture by the third quarter 2023.
−Removed: As noted elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, China’s economy continues to be impacted by the COVID pandemic.
−Removed: The government of the People’s Republic of China has been and apparently will continue to impose lockdowns on businesses and the society in general in China.
−Removed: These lockdowns adversely impact the ability of businesses to conduct business in China and throughout the Asian region.
−Removed: As a result, the ability of our distributor, Wider, to conduct its business, including the distribution of our devices, has been adversely impacted.
−Removed: Therefore, our ability to generate revenue through the potential and actual sale of our devices in China has been adversely affected.
