SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report
includes forward-looking statements that relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially
from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Words
such as, but not limited to, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,”
“plan,” “targets,” “likely,” “aim,” “will,” “would,” “could,”
and similar expressions or phrases identify forward- looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our
current expectations and future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operation,
business strategy and financial needs.
You should read thoroughly
this Quarterly Report with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify
all of our forward-looking statements by risk factors included in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (SEC File Number 333-279684)
as declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 27, 2024 and the Prospectus contained therein,
which risk factors could adversely impact our business and financial performance. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is
not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent
to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update such
statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made, except as required by applicable
law.

NEXALIN
TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1 — NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Corporate
History
Nexalin
Technology, Inc. (“NV Nexalin”) was formed on October 19, 2010 as a Nevada corporation. The Company’s principal
offices are located at 1776 Yorktown, Suite 550, Houston, Texas 77056.
On
September 6, 2019, Neuro-Health International, Inc. (“Neuro-Health”), a Nevada corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary
of NV Nexalin, was formed. Neuro-Health had no activity from December 6, 2019 (Inception) through September 30, 2024.
Our
shares and warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market tier of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on September 16,
2022, under the symbols “NXL” and “NXLIW”, respectively.
On
July 1, 2024, we consummated a follow-on public offering of an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of the Common Stock for an offering
price of $ 1.75 per share, resulting in aggregate net proceeds of approximately $ 4,720,000 . The Company intends to use the
net proceeds of such offering primarily for general corporate purposes, which may include, but is not limited to, working capital, operating
expenses, and capital expenditures.
Throughout
this report, the terms “Nexalin,” “our,” “we,” “us,” and the “Company” refer
to Nexalin Technology, Inc.
Business
Overview
Nexalin
is headquartered, and maintains its base of management and operations, in Houston, Texas. We design and develop innovative neurostimulation
products to uniquely and effectively help combat the ongoing global mental health epidemic. We developed an easy-to-administer medical
device — referred to as “Generation 1” or “Gen-1” — that utilizes bioelectronic medical technology
to treat anxiety, insomnia, and depression, without the need for drugs or psychotherapy. Our original Gen-1 devices are cranial electrotherapy
stimulation (CES) devices that emit waveform at 4 milliamps during treatment and are presently classified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(the “FDA”) as a Class II device.
Medical professionals in the United States have
utilized the Gen-1 device to administer to patients in clinical settings. While the Gen-1 device had been cleared by the FDA to treat
depression, anxiety, and insomnia, three prevalent and serious diseases, because of the FDA’s December 2019 reclassification
of CES devices, the Gen-1 device was reclassified as a Class II device for the treatment of anxiety and insomnia. We are required to
file a new application under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (“510(k) Application”) to be
approved by the FDA for the sales and marketing of our devices for the treatment of anxiety and insomnia. In the FDA’s December 2019
reclassification ruling, the treatment of depression with our device will require a Class III certification and require a new PMA (premarket
approval) and/or a new De Novo application to demonstrate safety and effectiveness.
While
we continue providing services to medical professionals to support patients’ use of the Gen-1 devices which were in operation prior
to December 2019, we are not making new sales or new marketing efforts of Gen-1 devices in the United States. We continue to derive
revenue from devices which we sold or leased prior to the FDA’s December 2019 reclassification announcements. This revenue
consists of monthly licensing fees and payments for the sale of electrodes and patient cables. We have suspended marketing efforts for
new sales of devices related to the Gen-1 device for treatment of anxiety and insomnia in the United States until the Nexalin regulatory
team decides on a new 510(k) application at 4 milliamps based on FDA comments expected to be received in late 2024. Our regulatory team
continues to inform the FDA of the suspension of the marketing and sale of the Gen-1 products to new providers. We are currently analyzing
whether to proceed with an amended application with the FDA for Gen-1 devices for the treatment of insomnia and anxiety.
5
The waveform that comprises the basis of our “Generation
2” or “Gen-2” and new “Generation 3” or “Gen-3” headset devices is in pre-submission for review
by the FDA for safety evaluation and eventual marketing in the United States. Determinations of the safety and efficacy of our devices
in the United States are solely within the authority of the FDA. We plan to conduct decentralized clinical trials for the Gen-3 device
in the U.S. and we continue to consult with the FDA as part of the pre-submission process. If and when we obtain FDA clearance for the
Gen-3 device, we intend to extend the development and commercialization of our devices for sale in the U.S. and other territories, given
the potential unmet demand for the treatment of mental health conditions with our device.
We have designed and developed a new advanced
waveform technology to be emitted at 15 milliamps through new and improved medical devices referred to as Gen-2 and Gen-3. Gen-2 is a
clinical use device with a modern enclosure to emit the new 15 milliamp advanced waveform. Gen-3 is a new patient headset that will be
prescribed by licensed medical professionals in a virtual clinic setting similar to existing tele-health platforms. The Nexalin research
team believes that the new 15 milliamp Gen-2 and Gen-3 devices can penetrate deeper into the brain and stimulate associated structures
of mental illness, which we believe will generate enhanced patient response without any risk or unpleasant side effects. The Nexalin regulatory
team has made a strategic decision to develop strategies for pilot trials and/or pivotal trials in various mental health disease categories.
In addition, a new PMA application in the United States is in strategic development for the treatment of depression utilizing both Gen-2
and Gen-3. We plan to schedule additional pilot trials and/or pivotal trials for the new Gen-3 device for anxiety and insomnia in the
United States and China beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024 . Preliminary data provided by The University of California,
San Diego and recent published data from Asia supports the safety of utilizing our 15 milliamp waveform technology. However, the determination
of safety and efficacy of medical devices in the United States is subject to clearance by the FDA.
Currently, the waveform that comprises the basis
of Gen-2 and new Gen-3 headset devices has been tested in research settings to develop safety data that has been submitted for review
by the FDA for safety evaluation and eventual marketing in the United States and around the world. Determinations of the safety and efficacy
of our devices in the United States are solely within the authority of the FDA.
A new pre-submission document in preparation of
a new 510(k) and/or De Novo application for our Gen-3 HALO headset at 15 milliamps was filed with the FDA in January of 2023. Formal comments
to our pre-submission document filing were received in March of 2023. A formal meeting to address FDA comments took place on May 9,
2023.
A
second FDA pre-submission document was submitted on February 13, 2024. FDA comments to this second pre-submission document were
received on April 26, 2024. A formal teleconference was held with the FDA on April 30, 2024. The Nexalin regulatory team and
the FDA came to a consensus on the Anxiety and Insomnia Clinical research protocols.
On
May 31, 2023, the Company formalized an agreement related to the formation of a joint venture established to engage in the clinical
development, marketing, sale and distribution of Nexilin’s second generation transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (“tACS”)
devices (“Gen-2 devices”) in China and other countries in the region. The Joint Venture is registered in Hong Kong.
Under
the Joint Venture Agreement, Wider Come Limited (“Wider”), a related party, is obligated to fund all operations for the
initial 12-month period of the Joint Venture, after which Nexalin and Wider plan to jointly fund the Joint Venture’s operating
expenses in accordance with their pro rata ownership. The Joint Venture conducts research, development and clinical studies of our
devices, which supplements similar activities being conducted by Nexalin in the United States. The Joint Venture is responsible for
funding all clinical trial and development costs incurred in China. We share associated economic responsibility for these expenses
under the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement. The Joint Venture may provide the financial resources for, and– together with
our clinical studies conducted in the U.S. - serve as an important regulatory precursor towards the advancement of our efforts in
securing 510(k) and/or De Novo clearance from the FDA for our devices.
6
As
of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have no employees or office in China and none of our operations are conducted
in China. The Joint Venture does not maintain any variable interest entity structure or operate any data center in China.
The
Joint Venture is controlled by a Board of Directors in which Wider is to have sole representation but neither the Company nor Wider has
exclusive decision-making ability over day-to-day or significant operational decisions. Wider and Nexalin own 52 % and 48 % of the Joint
Venture, respectively. In accordance with ASC 323 Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (“ASC 323”) and ASC 810
- Consolidations (“ASC 810”), the Company recognized $ 159 and $ 0 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
and $ 4,651 and $ 0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 of equity method investment income from the Joint Venture
on a one-quarter reporting lag, on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The
investment in the Joint Venture is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31,
2023 the Company had an Equity Method Investment of $ 100,651 and $ 96,000 , respectively, recorded on the condensed consolidated balance
sheets. The Company invested $ 96,000 in the joint venture in September 2023 which is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet
at December 31, 2023 as an Equity Method Investment. Wider invested $ 104,000 . In accordance with ASC 323, the Company uses the equity
method of accounting for its investment in the Joint Venture, an unconsolidated entity over which it does not have a controlling interest.
The equity method of accounting requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s
share of equity in the unconsolidated entity’s earnings or losses. The Company evaluates the carrying amount of this investment
in the Joint Venture for impairment in accordance with ASC 323. If the Company determines that a loss in the value of the investment
is other than temporary, the Company writes down the investment to its estimated fair value. Any such losses are recorded to equity in
income of unconsolidated entities in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company has
made an election to classify distributions received from the Joint Venture using the nature of the distribution approach. Distributions
received are classified as cash inflows from operating activities based on the nature of the activities of the unconsolidated entity.
Continued
Nasdaq Listing
Our
common stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and
other continued listing requirements and standards, including the Minimum Bid Price Rule and Minimum Stockholder Equity Rule (each as
discussed below) and those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity,
and certain corporate governance requirements. There can be no assurances that we will be able to comply with the applicable listing
standards.
We
are required to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. On May 10, 2023, the Company received written notice from The Nasdaq
Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was no longer in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement
for continued listing on Nasdaq, as the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock was below $1.00 per share as set forth
in the Nasdaq listing rules. The Company was afforded 180 calendar days, or until November 6, 2023, to regain compliance with the
Nasdaq listing rules. The Company was unable to regain compliance with the bid price requirement by November 6, 2023.
The
Company requested a second 180-day period in order to regain compliance with Nasdaq Rule 5550(a)(2). On January 18, 2024, the
Nasdaq Hearing Panel granted the Company a temporary exception to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule until March 27,
2024, which date was further extended by the Panel until April 25, 2024.
On
April 23, 2024, the Company received notice from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s
minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Rule 5550(a)(2).
7
Under
the Nasdaq listing rules, we are also required to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 (the “Minimum Stockholder
Equity Rule”). In our Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2024, we reported stockholders’ equity of $2,326,987.
On May 16, 2024, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that its stockholders’
equity as reported in such Quarterly Report did not satisfy the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1)
for the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Pursuant
to the Notice, the Company had 45 calendar days from the date of the Notice to submit a plan to regain compliance. On July 1, 2024,
the Company submitted a plan to Nasdaq. As described in the Company’s submission to Nasdaq, and as set forth in
the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on July 3, 2024 , the Company consummated the public offering of
3 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock for total aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $ 5,250,000 On July 23,
2024, the Company received written notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq, confirming that, based on the information
contained in the Company’s Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on July 16, 2024, the Company is now in compliance with the Minimum
Stockholder Equity Rule.
On
September 23, 2024, we received a notice from Nasdaq notifying us that we were not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we had 180 calendar days, or until March 24, 2025, to regain compliance
with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our common stock must be at least $1.00 per
share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. On October 31, 2024, the Company received notice from Nasdaq notifying the
Company that it has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Rule 5550(a)(2).
NOTE
2 — 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 the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At September 30,
2024, the Company had a significant accumulated deficit of approximately ( 81,811,956 ) $81.8 million. For the nine months ended September 30,
2024, the Company had a loss from operations of approximately ( 4,879,250 ) $4.9 million and negative cash flows from operations of approximately ( 2,809,914 ) $2.8
million. While the Company had a working capital surplus as of September 30, 2024 of approximately $ 4.6 million, the Company’s
operating activities consume most of its cash resources.
The
Company expects to continue to incur operating losses as it executes its development plans, as well as undertaking other potential strategic
and business development initiatives through 2024 and through the twelve months from the date of this report. In addition, the Company
has had and expects to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. We previously funded these losses primarily
through the sale of equity . These factors, among others, raise substantial
doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable perio d.
Our
ability to continue as a going concern will be dependent upon our ability to execute on our business plan, including the ability to generate
revenue from the joint venture and obtain U.S. approval for the sale of our devices in the United States, and, if necessary, our ability
to raise additional capital. Although no assurances can be given as to our ability to deliver on our revenue plans or that unforeseen
expenses may arise, management has evaluated the significance of the conditions as of September 30, 2024 and have concluded that
we will not have sufficient cash and short-term investments to satisfy our anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months from
the issuance of these financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE
3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). 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
and the operating results and cash flows. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for any other subsequent interim period. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the
SEC. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s
audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nexalin and its wholly owned subsidiary Neuro-Health. Intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 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.
Revenue
The
Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligations with its customers have been satisfied. At contract inception, the Company
determines if the contract is within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers , and then evaluates the contract using the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2)
identify the performance obligations; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations;
and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only recognizes revenue to the extent
that it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period.
The
Company has existing licensing and treatment fee agreements with its customers for the use of the Nexalin Device in their practices.
These agreements generally have terms of one year with automatic renewal if certain requirements are met and amounts due per these agreements
are billed monthly. The Company also sells products related to the provision of services. The Company sells its Devices in China to its
acting distributor and sells products relating to the use of the Devices. The Company has a Royalty Agreement whereby the manufacturer
of the Company’s electrodes will pay a royalty to the Company for a three-year period beginning January 1, 2022. The amount
of the Royalty is equal to 20% of the amount that the manufacturer invoices to the acting distributor for the sale of the electrodes.
Revenue
Streams
The
Company derives revenues from our license agreements by charging a monthly licensing fee for the duration of the agreement. The Company
derives revenues from equipment by selling additional individual electrodes to customers for use with the Nexalin Device. We receive
revenue from the sale in China of our Devices to our distributor and from the sale of products relating to the use of those Devices.
We derive revenue as a royalty fee from the China-based manufacturer for electrodes ordered in connection with our China sales.

Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents held at financial institutions may at times exceed insured amounts. The Company believes it mitigates such
risk by investing in or through, as well as maintaining cash balances with, with major financial institutions.
10
Short-Term
Investments
The
appropriate classification of marketable securities is determined at the time of purchase and evaluated as of each reporting balance
sheet date. Investments in marketable debt and equity securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value. Fair value
is determined using quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities or quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the
assets or liabilities. Unrealized holding gains and losses for equity securities are recognized in earnings. Unrealized holding gains
and losses for available for sale debt securities are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss.) Realized gains and losses and
interest and dividends earned are included in other income (expense), net. For individual debt securities classified as available-for-sale
securities, the Company determines whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or
other factors. If the decline below amortized cost is a result of credit loss or the Company will more likely than not be required to
sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company will recognize an impairment relating to the decline through
an allowance for credit losses. There were no deemed permanent impairments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024
and 2023, respectively.
Patents
and Trademarks
Patents
and trademarks are amortized over their useful lives and are reviewed for impairment when warranted by economic conditions. Amortization
expense was $ 10,666 and $ 2,105 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Amortization expense was $ 4,211
and $ 753 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets
and liabilities related to the expected future tax consequences arising from temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax
bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences are
expected to reverse. Any effects of changes in income tax rates or laws are included in income tax expense in the period of enactment.
The
Company records valuation allowances against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred
tax asset will not be realized. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a full valuation allowance applied
against its net tax assets.
11
Fair
Value Measurements
As
defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , fair value is the price that would be received to sell 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 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.
●
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. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair
value measurement for nonrecurring fair value measurements of long-lived assets include pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies
and similar techniques.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying value of cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaids, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and
other current liabilities approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of
the loans payable approximates the estimated fair value for this financial instrument as management believes that such debt and interest
payable on the note approximates the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
The
following table summarizes the amortized cost, unrealized gain (loss) and the fair value at September 30, 2024 and December 31,
2023.

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 condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
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 as opposed to being estimated at the time of grant and revised.
Pursuant
to ASU 2018-07 Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the
Company accounts for stock options and restricted shares 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.
Research
and Development
Research
and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company
recorded $ 453,643 and $ 1,842,341 , respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive loss. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $ 178,565
and $ 1,638,508 , respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations
and comprehensive loss.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
August of 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations—Joint Venture (“JV”) Formations: Recognition and
Initial Measurement. The guidance requires newly formed JVs to apply a new basis of accounting to all of its contributed net assets,
which results in the JV initially measuring its contributed net assets under ASC 805-20, Business Combinations. The new guidance would
be applied prospectively and is effective for all newly formed joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1,
2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the accounting and disclosure requirements of this update and does not
expect them to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The
ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided
to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description
of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. All disclosure
requirements under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. The ASU is effective on a retrospective
basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
14
In
December of 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, establishes incremental
disaggregation of income tax disclosures pertaining to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This standard is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires prospective application with the option to apply it retrospectively.
Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this standard on our disclosures.
All
other newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not applicable or immaterial to the Company.

Sarah
Veltz v. Nexalin Technology, Inc. et al.
Plaintiff,
Sarah Veltz, filed a lawsuit in this matter on January 20, 2021 in Orange County Superior Court (Case No. 30-2021-01180164-CU-WT-CJC)
(the “Complaint”) naming the Company and others as defendants. In her Complaint, Plaintiff contends that she was employed
by defendants, including Nexalin, and has not been paid all wages, including overtime wages and other benefits allegedly due her. Plaintiff
also contends that, during her employment, she was subjected to sexual harassment by the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer.
Plaintiff seeks both compensatory and punitive damages. On March 12, 2021, the Company filed its answer to the Complaint. Although
the parties are seeking mediation, the court has set a trial in this matter for June 9, 2025, with a mediation date not yet set.
Management’s intent is to contest the allegations vigorously and, as of the date of this report, is unable to provide an evaluation
of the potential outcome of the litigation within the probable or remote range or to provide an estimate of the amount of or a range
of potential loss that might be incurred by the Company.

Employment
Development Department
The
Company is currently engaged in settlement discussions with the Employment Development Department (EDD) of the State of California. This
matter involves issues related to our previous management’s classification of certain work provided to or on behalf of the Company’s
business as contract labor instead of employee labor. The total amount involved was approximately $300,000. Management has petitioned
for reassessment and believes the hired workers at issue were indeed actual contractors and not employees. We have no business in California
other than one part time and one full time worker residing in California. The EDD approved a significant downward adjustment in our outstanding
employment tax liability to approximately $40,000 as reflected on its Statement of Account dated November 30, 2023. We plan to further
negotiate with the EDD and proceed with a settlement offer. The Company has accrued $40,000 and $40,000 on the consolidated balance sheets
as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The reduction in the amount accrued was recognized as other income
on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company believes it
has adequately accrued for this matter.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You
should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements
and related notes appearing in this Quarterly Report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, our actual results could differ materially from the results
described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. Forward-looking statements
represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Actual future results may be materially
different from what we expect. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that
exist after the date on which they are made, except as required by applicable law.
The
management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Overview
We
design and develop innovative neurostimulation products to uniquely and effectively help combat the ongoing global mental health epidemic.
We developed an easy-to-administer medical device — referred to as Generation 1 or Gen-1 — that utilizes bioelectronic medical
technology to treat anxiety and insomnia, without the need for drugs or psychotherapy. Our original Gen-1 devices are cranial electrotherapy
stimulation (CES) devices that emit waveform at 4 milliamps during treatment and are presently classified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(“FDA”) as a Class II device.
Medical
professionals in the United States have utilized the Gen-1 device to administer to patients in clinical settings. While the Gen-1 device
had been cleared by the FDA to treat depression, anxiety, and insomnia, three prevalent and serious diseases, because of the FDA’s
December 2019 reclassification of CES devices, the Gen-1 device was reclassified as a Class II device for the treatment of anxiety
and insomnia. We are required to file a new application under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (“510(k)
Application”) to be approved by the FDA for the sales and marketing of our devices for the treatment of anxiety and insomnia. In
the FDA’s December 2019 reclassification ruling, the treatment of depression with our device will require a Class III certification
and require a new PMA (premarket approval) application to demonstrate safety and effectiveness.
While
we continue providing services to medical professionals to support patients’ use of the Gen-1 devices which were in operation prior
to December 2019, we are not making new sales or new marketing efforts of Gen-1 devices in the United States. We continue to derive
revenue from devices which we sold or leased prior to the FDA’s December 2019 reclassification announcements. This revenue
consists of monthly licensing fees and payments for the sale of electrodes and patient cables. We have suspended marketing efforts for
new sales of devices related to the Gen-1 device for treatment of anxiety and insomnia in the United States until the Nexalin regulatory
team decides on a new 510(k) application at 4 milliamps based on FDA comments expected to be received in 2024. Our regulatory team continues
to inform the FDA of the suspension of the marketing and sale of the Gen-1 products to new providers. We are currently analyzing whether
to proceed with an amended application with the FDA for Gen-1 devices for the treatment of insomnia and anxiety.
We have designed and developed a new advanced
waveform technology to be emitted at 15 milliamps through new and improved medical devices referred to as “Generation 2”
or “Gen-2” and “Generation 3” or “Gen-3.” Gen-2 is a clinical use device with a modern enclosure
to emit the new 15 milliamp advanced waveform. Gen-3 is a new patient headset that is designed to be prescribed by licensed medical professionals
in a virtual clinic setting similar to existing Tele-health platforms. The Nexalin research team believes that the new 15 milliamp Gen-2
and Gen-3 devices can penetrate deeper into the brain and stimulate associated structures of mental illness, which we believe will generate
enhanced patient response without any risk or unpleasant side effects. The Nexalin regulatory team has made a strategic decision to develop
strategies for pilot trials and/or pivotal trials in various mental health disease states. In addition, a new PMA application in the
United States is in development for the treatment of depression utilizing both Gen-2 and Gen-3. The new Gen-3 device is also scheduled
for additional pilot trials and/or pivotal trials for anxiety and insomnia in the United States and China beginning in the fourth quarter
of 2024. Preliminary data provided by The University of California, San Diego and recent published data from China supports the safety
of utilizing our 15 milliamp waveform technology. However, the determination of safety and efficacy of medical devices in the United
States is subject to clearance by the FDA.
22
Additionally,
a new pre-submission document in preparation of a new 510(k) and/or De Novo for our Gen-3 Halo headset at 15 milliamps was filed with
the FDA in January of 2023. Formal comments to our pre-submission document filing were received in March of 2023. A formal meeting to
address FDA comments took place on May 9, 2023. Minutes of the meeting with the FDA were filed with the FDA on May 16, 2023.
A
second FDA pre-submission document was submitted on February 13, 2024. FDA comments to this second pre-submission document were
received on April 26, 2024. A formal teleconference was held with the FDA on April 30, 2024. The Nexalin regulatory team and
the FDA came to a consensus on the Anxiety and Insomnia Clinical research protocols.
In
part due to the increasing incidence attributed to the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health and cognitive
disorders are widespread across the globe and cause substantial health, social and economic losses, and hardships accordingly. Our
focus is on the continued development of our innovative bioelectronic medical technologies and rapid regulatory approval. We intend
to help reverse these losses, and hardships of these losses, by safely and effectively treating various mental health disorders
associated with post Covid and long Covid mental disease states.
All
our products are non-invasive, safe, undetectable to the human body and can provide relief to those afflicted with mental health issues
without adverse side effects. We have a proprietary design that stabilizes currents, electromagnetic fields, and various frequencies
— referred to collectively as a waveform - particularly our proprietary, 15 milliamp patented waveform. Additionally, our devices
generate a high frequency carrier wave for deeper penetration into the brain. It is applied to the brain with an array of electrodes
on the forehead and behind each ear at the mastoid. The features of this proprietary waveform and the array of electrodes allow the application
of the waveform to the entire brain rather than a small, targeted area of the brain. To ensure deeper penetration into the brain, we
have created a waveform that is undetectable to the brain which allows the increase of the power from < 4 mAmps to 15 mAmps, more
than a 400% increase without incurring any patient discomfort, risk, or adverse side effects. By increasing the power, our waveform can
penetrate deeper into the brain and stimulate deep mid-brain structures associated with mental illness. Our research and clinical teams
believe that a more powerful waveform will create a stronger response in the brain. A stronger response creates a higher level of efficacy.
This entire proprietary technique allows Nexalin to provide a non-invasive and comfortable treatment that is more powerful than any stimulation
device in the market. Current pilot study protocols and randomized clinical trials have been designed and submitted to the FDA to provide
feedback on final reports and data sets for the purpose of safety and efficacy evaluations in the future. Determinations of the safety
and efficacy of our devices are solely within the authority of the FDA.
Currently,
the waveform that comprises the basis of Gen-2 and new Gen-3 headset devices has been tested in research settings to develop safety data
that has been submitted for review by the FDA for safety evaluation and eventual marketing in the United States and around the world.
Determinations of the safety and efficacy of our devices in the United States are solely within the authority of the FDA.
We
recognize that an additional barrier to treatment in today’s mental health treatment landscape -- beyond the concerns about safety,
efficacy and side-effects that have been associated with conventional mental health treatments such as ECT (shock therapy), drugs and
psychotherapy – is stigma. We have received industry reports and feedback that many patients that struggle with mood disorders
have the stigma of embarrassment associated with psychiatrists and psychotherapy (e.g., counselling with a therapist). Additional stigmas
and other issues are associated with the side effects of medication prescribed by psychiatrists. When we researched the current pharmaceuticals
model, public information highlighted the many side effects associated with these medications. Frequently, patients would stop taking
the medication because of the uncomfortable side effects. Additional public information mentions dependency and withdrawal issues associated
with medication for psychiatric disorders.
23
To
address the embarrassment stigma, we are developing a new virtual clinic that will allow the physician to diagnose a mental health issue
in the privacy of a tele-psychiatry virtual platform. After diagnosis, the physician will prescribe the Nexalin Gen-3 headset to the
patient for treatment. Next, the Gen-3 device will be shipped to the patient’s home. After the patient receives the device, they
will pair the headset device with an app in the patient’s smart phone. The app will communicate with the Nexalin cloud servers
to authorize the device for treatment according to the protocol designed by the physician. The physician will monitor treatment compliance
and other health related issues in a private physician dashboard that connects through the Nexalin app and cloud servers. We believe
that to preserve product safety and integrity for home use, the headset device will require physician oversight that will include a prescription
for use with a monthly authorization provided by the physician after a monthly virtual visit. All appointments will be in a virtual setting
to provide privacy and convenience for the physician and patient. The Nexalin virtual clinic will be provided in a proprietary virtual
platform currently in the design stage.
Our
China Gen-2 15 milliamp device was approved in China by the NMPA for the treatment of insomnia and depression in China. This device and
all other clinical devices will include a single use electrode for long term revenue streams. The USA Gen-2 device will have a fresh
and modern appearance that meets the technology standards of the digital tech world of 2024. Early adopters of the Gen-1 device will
be able to access additional firmware upgrades which are planned to enhance the previously purchased devices to the new symmetric15-milliamp
waveform. 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. Our electrode chip will be programmed to
exchange data with the device and allow activation for a single treatment with a new electrode only. This ensures a recurring revenue
stream on the device and protects against any generic knockoffs designed to avoid treatment costs. This upgrade in technology also ensures
the proprietary nature of the electrodes that support treatment outcomes are sustained.
Overall,
we believe that our advanced waveform, technological upgrades and the development of a modern headset monitored with our IT management
platform will position us with the opportunity to disrupt the traditional mental health treatment model. Our mission is to remove the
stigma of expensive psychotherapy or pharmaceuticals with the attendant side effects and dependency issues and replace such stigma with
clinically proven and cost-effective technology that is easily accessible in the privacy of the patient’s home and monitored by
licensed healthcare providers.
Since
our inception, we have generated significant losses; we expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses
for at least the next two years. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from period to period, depending on the timing of our planned
clinical trials and expenditures for other research and development activities. We expect our expenses will increase substantially over
time as we:
●
continue the ongoing and
planned preclinical and clinical development of our products;
●
review and analyze the
value of amending our previous 510(k) Application for anxiety and insomnia in accordance with the FDA;
●
arrange for an outsourced
sales, marketing and distribution model and scale up external manufacturing capabilities to commercialize any product candidate for
which we may obtain regulatory approval and intend to commercialize;
●
maintain, expand and protect
our intellectual property portfolio;
●
engage additional clinical,
scientific, manufacturing and controls personnel;
●
add additional information
systems including personnel to support our product development;
Furthermore,
we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, including significant legal, accounting, investor
relations and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company.

Recent
Developments
Formalized
Joint Venture; China Related Activities; Approvals in Oman and Brazil
On
May 31, 2023, the Company formalized an agreement related to the formation of a joint venture established to engage in the clinical
development, marketing, sale and distribution of Nexilin’s second generation transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (“tACS”)
devices (“Gen-2 devices”) in China and other countries in the region. The Joint Venture is registered in Hong Kong.
As
of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, (i) our operations are carried on outside of China; and (ii) the Joint Venture
does not maintain any variable interest entity structure or operate any data center in China.
Under
the Joint Venture Agreement, Wider is obligated to fund all operations for the initial 12-month period of the Joint Venture, after which
Nexalin and Wider plan to jointly fund the Joint Venture’s operating expenses in accordance with their pro rata ownership.
The
Joint Venture is controlled by a Board of Directors in which Wider is to have sole representation but neither the Company nor Wider has
exclusive decision-making ability over day-to-day or significant operational decisions. Wider and Nexalin own 52% and 48% of the Joint
Venture, respectively. In accordance with ASC 323 and ASC 810, the Company recognized $159 and $0 for the three months ended September 30,
2024 and 2023 and $4,651 and $0 of equity method investment income from the Joint Venture on a one-quarter reporting lag for the nine
months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
loss.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 150,000 shares of common stock to affiliates of Wider in satisfaction
of obligations pursuant to their collaborative agreement. A charge to research and development was recorded in 2023 at the time the Company
recognized its obligation to issue these shares.
The
investment in the Joint Venture is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31,
2023 the Company had an Equity Method Investment of $100,651 and $96,000, respectively, recorded on the condensed consolidated balance
sheets. The Company invested $96,000 in the joint venture in September 2023 and Wider invested $104,000. In accordance with ASC
323, the Company uses the equity method of accounting for its investment in the Joint Venture, an unconsolidated entity over which it
does not have a controlling interest. The equity method of accounting requires the investment to be initially recorded at cost and subsequently
adjusted for the Company’s share of equity in the unconsolidated entity’s earnings or losses. The Company evaluates the carrying
amount of this investment in the Joint Venture for impairment in accordance with ASC 323. If the Company determines that a loss in the
value of the investment is other than temporary, the Company writes down the investment to its estimated fair value. Any such losses
are recorded to equity in income of unconsolidated entities in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive loss. The Company has made an election to classify distributions received from the Joint Venture using the nature of the
distribution approach. Distributions received are classified as cash inflows from operating activities based on the nature of the activities
of the unconsolidated entity.
In
September of 2021, the China National Medical Products Administration (the “NMPA”), the equivalent of the FDA, approved the
Gen-2 device for marketing and sale in China for the treatment of insomnia and depression. These treatment indications and clearances
from the NMPA have allowed Wider to market and sell the Gen-2 device in China for the treatment of insomnia and depression.

Our
participation in the Joint Venture with Wider in China is subject to general, as well as industry-specific, economic, political and legal
developments and risks in China. The Chinese government exercises significant control over the Chinese economy, including but not limited
to controlling capital investments, allocating resources, setting monetary policy, controlling and monitoring foreign exchange rates,
implementing and overseeing tax regulations, providing preferential treatment to certain industry segments or companies and issuing necessary
licenses to conduct business. In addition, we could face additional risks resulting from changes in China’s data privacy and cybersecurity
requirements. Accordingly, any adverse change in the Chinese economy, the Chinese legal system or Chinese governmental, economic or other
policies could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations of the Joint Venture in China and our prospects generally.
We
face additional risks in China due to China’s historically limited recognition and enforcement of contractual and intellectual
property rights. We may experience difficulty enforcing our intellectual property rights in China. If we cannot adequately monitor the
use of our technologies and devices or enforce intellectual property rights related to our devices in China or contractual restrictions
relating to use of our intellectual property by Chinese companies, our revenue could be adversely affected.
The
Joint Venture with Wider is subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China. There are uncertainties regarding
the interpretation and enforcement of laws, regulations and policies in China. Because many of the laws, regulations and policies applicable
to our operations in China are relatively new, the interpretations of such laws, regulations and policies are not always uniform. Moreover,
the interpretation of statutes and regulations may be subject to government policies reflecting domestic political agendas. Enforcement
of existing laws or contracts may be uncertain. As a result of the foregoing, it may be difficult for us to obtain timely or equitable
enforcement of laws ostensibly designed to protect companies like ours, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and
results of operations. Our ability to monetize the Joint Venture in China may also be limited.
The
Sultanate of Oman’s Ministry of Health granted conditional approval for use of our Gen-2 device on June 16, 2022, effective
upon the end user of our device opening and operating a mental health care clinic being constructed in Oman. The Company’s first
shipment of a device to Oman was made on January 30, 2024 and received in Oman on February 5, 2024 in connection with the opening
of the end user’s clinic, rendering the approval effective. Two additional devices were shipped to Oman on February 29, 2024
and were received by the end user on March 6, 2024. Upon receipt of the two additional devices, the end user’s clinic was
operational, and the use of the device to treat patients commenced pursuant to the approval.
On
June 13, 2024, the “Company announced that our Gen-2 device had been granted regulatory approval by the Brazilian Health Regulatory
Agency, a regulatory body of the Brazilian government responsible for approving new drugs and medical devices.

Revenues
For
the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we generated $36,031 and $24,113 respectively, of revenue primarily from the
sale of devices, supplies and from licensing and treatment fee agreements with our customers for which we charge a monthly licensing
fee for the duration of the agreement. We also generated revenue from treatment fee agreements by collecting fees based on the number
of treatments per month the customer performs. In addition, we derived revenue from equipment by selling electrodes and patient cables
to customers for use with our device. The increase in revenue for the three months ended September 30 2024 compared to 2023 was
primarily due to sales of supplies and parts.
27
Cost
of Revenues and Gross Profit
For
the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, cost of revenues was $12,694 and $3,973, respectively, yielding a gross profit
of $23,337 and $20,140, respectively, or 64.77% and 83.52%, respectively. Such decrease in gross margin was due to the lower margins
on supplies and parts.
Operating
Expenses
Total
operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $2,531,854 and $2,435,677, respectively. The increase
in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to an increase in shareholder related expenses of approximately $56,000,
an increase in professional fees of approximately $79,000, an increase in travel of approximately $34,000, and an increase in stock compensation
of approximately $1,466,000. These amounts were offset by a decrease in salaries and benefits of approximately $69,000 a decrease
in research and development costs of approximately $1,452,000 and a decrease in insurance of approximately $17,000.
The
increase in shareholder related expenses was due to costs associated with investor relations. The increase in professional fees is due
to an increase in legal fees and an executive search professional fee of $60,000. The increase in travel is primarily due to costs associated
with meetings with our joint venture partners, staff visits to our Houston office and travel related to investor relations. The increase
in stock compensation is primarily related to compensating consultants with stock compensation upon shareholder approval of amending
the Company Equity Plan. The decrease in salaries is primary due to a bonus recorded in 2023. The decrease in research and development
costs are primarily related to costs associated with clinical trials not incurred in 2024. The decrease in insurance is due to a reduction
in our insurance premiums.
Other
Income (Expense), Net
Other
income (expense), net for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $60,101 and $118,348, respectively, consisting
of interest and dividend income, gain on the sale of short-term investments offset by interest expense. The decrease in other income
was due to a decrease in the amount available for investment.

Revenues
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we generated $141,542 and $90,212 respectively, of revenue primarily from the
sale of devices, supplies and from licensing and treatment fee agreements with our customers for which we charge a monthly licensing
fee for the duration of the agreement. We also generated revenue from treatment fee agreements by collecting fees based on the number
of treatments per month the customer performs. In addition, we derived revenue from equipment by selling electrodes and patient cables
to customers for use with our device. The increase in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 2023 was
primarily due to the sales of devices to a new overseas customer.
29
Cost
of Revenues and Gross Profit
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, cost of revenues was $29,097 and $20,457, respectively, yielding a gross profit
of $112,455 and $69,755, respectively, or 79.44% and 77.32%, respectively. Such increase in gross margin was primarily due to device
revenue having a higher gross profit margin than that of other sources of revenue.
Operating
Expenses
Total
operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $4,991,695 and $4,141,578, respectively. The increase
in selling, general and administrative expenses was due primarily to an increase in shareholder related expenses of approximately $271,000,
an executive search professional fee of $60,000, an increase in travel of approximately $115,000, and an increase
in stock compensation of approximately $1,847,000. These amounts were offset by a decrease in research and development costs of
approximately $1,389,000, a decrease in taxes of approximately $21,000, and a decrease in insurance of approximately $57,000.
The
increase in shareholder related expenses was due to costs associated with investor relations. The increase in stock compensation is primarily
related to compensating consultants with stock compensation upon shareholder approval of amending the Company Equity Plan. The increase
in travel is primarily due to costs associated with meetings with our joint venture partners, staff visits to our Houston office and
travel related to investor relations. The decrease in research and development costs are primarily related to costs associated with clinical
trials not incurred in 2024. The decrease in taxes is due to a reduction in our Delaware Franchise tax. The decrease in insurance is
due to a reduction in our insurance premiums.
Other
Income (Expense), Net
Other
income (expense), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $100,692 and $203,753, respectively, consisting
of interest and dividend income, gain on the sale of short-term investments offset by interest expense. The decrease is primarily due
to a decrease in gain on short term investments resulting from decreased short term investments.

of short-term investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Compared to short-term investment sales of approximately
$32.7 million offset by purchases of $29.3 million of short-term investments during the nine months ended September 30,

offering. The September 30, 2023 use of cash was for a payment of note payable to an officer of the
Company.
Uses
and Availability of Additional Funds
Our
primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, compensation and related expenses, third-party clinical research and
development services, manufacturing development costs, legal and other regulatory expenses, and general administrative costs. Although
we have produced Gen-2, which is selling in China where it is approved for certain utilizations by medical practitioners, the successful
development of our future products is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing and estimated
costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the clinical development of Gen-3 and obtain regulatory approvals. We are also
unable to predict when, if ever, net cash inflows from revenues will enable us to be cash flow positive. This is due to the numerous
risks and uncertainties associated with developing products, including, among others, the uncertainty of:
●
successful enrolment in,
and completion of clinical trials;
●
performing preclinical
studies and clinical trials in compliance with the FDA or any comparable regulatory authority requirements;
●
the ability to outsource
the manufacture of our products for development, clinical trials and/ or potential commercialization;
●
obtaining and maintaining
patent, trademark and trade secret protection for our products;
●
scaling the commercial
sales of products, if and when approved, whether alone or in collaboration with others;
●
acceptance of existing
therapies, and future therapies, if and when approved, by healthcare providers, physicians, clinicians, patients and third-party
payors;
●
competing effectively with
other therapies;
●
obtaining and maintaining
healthcare coverage and adequate reimbursement;
●
protecting our rights in
our intellectual property portfolio; and
●
maintaining a continued
acceptable safety profile of our products following approval.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of September 30, 2024, the Company had a significant accumulated deficit of $81.8 million. For the nine months ended September 30,
2024, the Company had a loss from operations of $4.9 million and negative cash flows from operations of $2.8 million. The Company’s
operating activities consume the majority of its cash resources. The Company will continue to service existing customers in the United
States. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur operating losses as it executes its development plans through 2024, 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 previously funded these losses primarily through the sale of equity.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents on hand of approximately $4.6 million.
31
Our
ability to continue as a going concern will be dependent upon our ability to execute on our business plan, including the ability to generate
revenue from the joint venture and obtain U.S. approval for the sale of our devices in the United States, and, if necessary, our ability
to raise additional capital. Although no assurances can be given as to our ability to deliver on our revenue plans or that unforeseen
expenses may arise, management has evaluated the significance of the conditions as of September 30, 2024 and have concluded that
we will not have sufficient cash and short-term investments to satisfy our anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months from
the issuance of these financial statements.
Critical
Accounting Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP and the Company’s discussion and analysis of
its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that
affect the amounts reported. Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards” of the Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the 2023 Form 10-K describe the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation
of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical
accounting estimates since the 2023 Form 10-K.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
August of 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations—Joint Venture (“JV”) Formations: Recognition and
Initial Measurement. The guidance requires newly formed JVs to apply a new basis of accounting to all of its contributed net assets,
which results in the JV initially measuring its contributed net assets under ASC 805-20, Business Combinations. The new guidance would
be applied prospectively and is effective for all newly formed joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1,
2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the accounting and disclosure requirements of this update and does not
expect them to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The
ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided
to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description
of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. All disclosure
requirements under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. The ASU is effective on a retrospective
basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In
December of 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, establishes incremental
disaggregation of income tax disclosures pertaining to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This standard is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires prospective application with the option to apply it retrospectively.
Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this standard on our disclosures.
All
other newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not applicable or immaterial to the Company.

Continued
Nasdaq Listing
Minimum
Bid Price Requirement
On
May 10, 2023, the Company received written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company
that it was no longer in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq, as the closing bid price
for the Company’s common stock was below $1.00 per share as set forth in the Nasdaq listing rules. The Company was afforded 180
calendar days, or until November 6, 2023, to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules. The Company was unable to regain compliance
with the bid price requirement by November 6, 2023.
The
Company requested a second 180-day period in order to regain compliance with Nasdaq Rule 5550(a)(2). On January 18, 2024,
the Nasdaq Hearing Panel granted the Company a temporary exception to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule until
March 27, 2024, which date was further extended by the Panel until April 25, 2024. On April 23, 2024, the Company
received notice from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement
under Nasdaq Rule 5550(a)(2).
On
September 23, 2024, we received a notice from Nasdaq notifying us that we were not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we had 180 calendar days, or until March 24, 2025, to regain compliance
with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our common stock must be at least $1.00 per
share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. On October 31, 2024, the Company received notice from Nasdaq notifying the
Company that it has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Rule 5550(a)(2).
Minimum
Stockholder Equity Requirement
Under
the Nasdaq listing rules, we are also required to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 (the “Minimum Stockholder
Equity Rule”). In our Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2024, we reported stockholders’ equity of $2,326,987.
On May 16, 2024, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that its stockholders’
equity as reported in such Quarterly Report did not satisfy the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1)
for the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Pursuant
to the Notice, the Company had 45 calendar days from the date of the Notice to submit a plan to regain compliance. On July 1, 2024,
the Company submitted a plan to Nasdaq. As described in the Company’s submission to Nasdaq, and as set forth in
the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on July 3, 2024 , the Company consummated the public offering of
3 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock for total aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5,250,000. On July 23,
2024, the Company received written notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq, confirming that, based on the information
contained in the Company’s Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on July 16, 2024, the Company is now in compliance with the Minimum
Stockholder Equity Rule.
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.
33
Item 4.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
have adopted and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required
to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. Our disclosure controls and procedures
are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. As required under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by
this report. Based upon that evaluation, management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
The material weaknesses identified to date include: (i) lack of sufficient resources necessary to provide adequate segregation of duties
related to the preparation and review of financial information used in financial reporting and review of controls over the financial
reporting process, including documentation of review of reconciliations; and (ii) insufficient IT controls which are effectively designed
and implemented, specifically related to user/superuser access to the Company’s financial reporting system.
As
of September 30, 2024, based on evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, management concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective. To address our material weakness, we intend to engage an outside firm to advise on our financial
reporting processes and intend to implement new financial accounting controls and processes. We intend to continue to take steps to remediate
the material weakness described above through implementing enhancements and controls within our accounting systems, subject to budget
limitations. We will not be able to remediate these control deficiencies until these steps have been completed and have been operating
effectively for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively.
The redesign and implementation of improvements to our accounting and proprietary systems and controls may be costly and time consuming
and the cost to remediate may impair our results of operations in the future.
In
light of the conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at September 30, 2024, we have applied particular
procedures and processes as necessary to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting with respect to this quarterly report. Accordingly,
we believe, based on our knowledge that: (i) this quarterly report does not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit a statement
of material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading with
respect to the period covered by this report; and (ii) the consolidated financial statements, and other financial information included
