NOTE 1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION, LIQUIDITY, AND BUSINESS

Corporate History

BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Stem Pearls, LLC (“Stem Pearls”). BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. and its subsidiary are referred to collectively as “BRT” or the “Company”.

On March 20, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), the Company filed a voluntary petition commencing a case (the “Chapter 11 Case”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the U.S. Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”).

On August 7, 2020 the Company and Auctus Fund, LLC (“Auctus”), the Company’s largest unsecured creditor and a stockholder as of the Petition Date, filed an Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) and on October 30, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Plan, as amended. Amendments to the Plan are reflected in the Confirmation Order. On November 16, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan became effective. See Note 5 – Notes Payable – Chapter 11 Reorganization.

Nature of the Business

BRT develops therapeutic products and medical therapies using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells. BRT’s website is at www.biorestorative.com. BRT is currently developing a Disc/Spine Program referred to as “brtxDISC”.

The product is intended to be used for the non-surgical treatment of painful lumbosacral disc disorders or as a complimentary therapeutic to a surgical procedure. BRT is also engaging in research efforts with respect to a platform technology utilizing brown adipose (fat) for therapeutic purposes to treat type 2 diabetes, obesity and other metabolic disorders and has labeled this initiative its ThermoStem Program. Further, BRT has licensed a patented curved needle device that is a needle system designed to deliver cells and/or other therapeutic products or material to the spine and discs or other potential sites.

Liquidity

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and satisfying liabilities in the normal course of business. At June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $109,559,000 and working capital surplus of approximately $502,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had a loss from operations of approximately $18,610,000 (of which, approximately $17,003,000 was attributable to non-cash stock-based compensation) and negative cash flows from operations of approximately $1,556,000. The Company’s operating activities consume the majority of its cash resources. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur operating losses as it executes its development plans for 2021, as well as other potential strategic and business development initiatives. In addition, the Company has had and expects to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. The Company has previously funded, and plans to continue funding, these losses primarily through current cash on hand received subsequent to quarter end and additional infusions of cash from equity and debt financing. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has access to approximately $2,100,000 in additional funding from Auctus, as discussed below.

The Company believes the following has been able to mitigate the above factors with regards to its ability to continue as a going concern: (i) as part of its Chapter 11 reorganization approximately $14,700,000 in outstanding debt and other liabilities were exchanged for (a) shares of common stock, (b) new convertible notes or (c) new convertible notes and warrants to purchase shares of common stock; (ii) the Company secured DIP financing during its Chapter 11 Case in the amount of $1,189,413, as well as an aggregate amount of $3,848,548 in debt financing from Auctus and others as part of the Company’s Chapter 11 reorganization, to sustain operations; and (iii) pursuant to the plan of reorganization, Auctus is required to loan to the Company, as needed, an additional $2,100,000. As a result of the above, and cash on hand of approximately $1,586,414 as of August 12, 2021, the Company believes it has sufficient cash to fund operations for the twelve months subsequent to the filing date. In addition, the Company is seeking further funding to commence and complete a Phase 2 clinical study of the use of BRTX-100.

Curernt funds and Auctus’ funding obligation noted above will not be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or attain profitable operations. If the Company is unable to obtain such needed additional financing on a timely basis, the Company may have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately the Company could be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial information as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 has been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at such dates and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or for any other subsequent interim period.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 30, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Stem Pearls. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Chapter 11 Case

Chapter 11 Accounting

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared as if we were a going concern and in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, Reorganizations.

Weak industry conditions in 2019 negatively impacted the Company’s results of operations and cash flows and may continue to do so in the future. In order to decrease the Company’s indebtedness and maintain the Company’s liquidity levels sufficient to meet its commitments, the Company undertook a number of actions, including minimizing capital expenditures and further reducing its recurring operating expenses. The Company believed that even after taking these actions, it would not have sufficient liquidity to satisfy its debt service obligations and meet its other financial obligations. On March 20, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), the Company filed a voluntary petition commencing a case under chapter 11 of title 11 of the U.S. Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York. On August 7, 2020, the Company and Auctus, the Company’s largest unsecured creditor and a stockholder as of the Petition Date, filed an Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) and on October 30, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Plan, as amended. Amendments to the Plan are reflected in the Confirmation Order. On November 16, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan became effective.

Reorganization Items, Net

The Company incurred costs after the Petition Date associated with the reorganization, primarily unamortized debt discount and post petition professional fees. In accordance with applicable guidance, costs associated with the bankruptcy proceedings have been recorded as reorganization items, net within the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Reorganization items, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were $- and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, were $3,361,416 and $781,306, respectively, representing cash used in operating activities.

Reorganization items, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, consisted of the following:

 SCHEDULE OF REORGANIZATION ITEMS, NET

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity-based transactions, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates which may cause the Company’s future results to be affected.

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include the carrying value of intangible assets, deferred tax asset and valuation allowance, estimated fair value of derivative liabilities stemming from convertible debt securities, assumptions used in management’s liquidity analysis, and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected divided rate.

Revenue

The Company derives all of its revenue pursuant to a license agreement between the Company and a stem cell treatment company (“SCTC”) entered into in January 2012, as amended in November 2015. Pursuant to the license agreement, the SCTC granted to the Company a license to use certain intellectual property related to, among other things, stem cell disc procedures and the Company has granted to the SCTC a sublicense to use, and the right to sublicense to third parties the right to use, in certain locations in the United States and the Cayman Islands, certain of the licensed intellectual property. In consideration of the sublicenses, the SCTC has agreed to pay the Company royalties on a per disc procedure basis.

Practical Expedients

As part of ASC Topic 606, the Company has adopted several practical expedients including:

Contract Modifications

There were no contract modifications during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Contract modifications are not routine in the performance of the Company’s contracts.

Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company periodically assesses its accounts and other receivables for collectability on a specific identification basis. The Company provides for allowances for doubtful receivables based on management’s estimate of uncollectible amounts considering age, collection history, and any other factors considered appropriate. Payments are generally due within 30 days of invoice. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. The Company did not record an allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three to fifteen years. Expenditures that enhance the useful lives of the assets are capitalized and depreciated. Computer equipment costs are capitalized, as incurred, and depreciated on a straight-line basis over a range of 3 – 5 years.

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of (i) the useful life of the asset, or (ii) the remaining lease term. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company capitalizes cost attributable to the betterment of property and equipment when such betterment extends the useful life of the assets. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount. If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then these assets are written down first, followed by other long-lived assets of the operation to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company determined that there was no impairment charge for intangible assets.

Intangible Assets

The Company records its intangible assets at cost in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Definite lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, which is determined by identifying the period over which the cash flows from the asset are expected to be generated.

Advertising and Marketing Costs

The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as they are incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses were $6,220 and $6,123 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Advertising and marketing expenses were $8,820 and $28,131 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The above advertising and marketing expenses are recorded in marketing and promotion on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value Measurements

As defined in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” 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.

Net Loss per Common Share

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. All vested outstanding options and warrants are considered potential common stock. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options, warrants, and unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are calculated using the treasury stock method. All outstanding convertible notes are considered common stock at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method. Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, options, warrants, RSUs and convertible notes have been excluded from the Company’s computation of net loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

The following table summarizes the securities that were excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive:

 SCHEDULE OF WEIGHTED AVERAGE DILUTIVE COMMON SHARES

Stock-based Compensation

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees, including employee stock options, in the statements of operations.

For stock options issued to employees and members of the board of directors for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. For awards subject to service-based vesting conditions, including those with a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term. Forfeitures are recorded as they are incurred as opposed to being estimated at the time of grant and revised.

Pursuant to Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07 Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, the Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees for their services in accordance 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.

Since the shares underlying the Company’s 2010 Equity Participation Plan and the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plans”) are registered, the Company estimates the fair value of the awards granted under the Plans based on the market value of its freely tradable common stock as reported on the OTC Markets. On February 3, 2020, the Company was advised by OTC Markets Group that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock being less than $0.001 per share for five consecutive trading days, the Company’s common stock was moved from the OTCQB Market to the Pink Market effective at market open on February 10, 2020. The fair value of the Company’s restricted equity instruments was estimated by management based on observations of the cash sales prices of both restricted shares and freely tradable shares. Awards granted to directors are treated on the same basis as awards granted to employees. Upon the exercise of an option or warrant, the Company issues new shares of common stock out of its authorized shares.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company utilizes ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely than not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s net deferred tax asset has been fully reserved.

For uncertain tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, the Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations when a determination is made that such expense is likely.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with Topic 815 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record embedded conversion options (“ECOs”) and any related freestanding instruments at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. Conversion options are recorded as a discount to the host instrument and are amortized as amortization of debt discount on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements over the life of the underlying instrument. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

The Multinomial Lattice Model and Black-Scholes Model were used to estimate the fair value of the ECOs of convertible notes payable, warrants, and stock options that are classified as derivative liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The models include subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the actual volatility during the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the instruments.

Sequencing Policy

Under ASC 815-40-35 (“ASC 815”), the Company has adopted a sequencing policy, whereby, in the event that reclassification of contracts from equity to assets or liabilities is necessary pursuant to ASC 815 due to the Company’s inability to demonstrate it has sufficient authorized shares as a result of certain securities with a potentially indeterminable number of shares, shares will be allocated on the basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive instruments, with the earliest grants receiving the first allocation of shares. Pursuant to ASC 815, issuances of securities to the Company’s employees and directors, or to compensate grantees in a share-based payment arrangement, are not subject to the sequencing policy.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”)). The standard requires all leases that have a term of over 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet with the liability for lease payments and the corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset initially measured at the present value of amounts expected to be paid over the term. Recognition of the costs of these leases on the income statement will be dependent upon their classification as either an operating or a financing lease. Costs of an operating lease will continue to be recognized as a single operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs for a financing lease will be disaggregated and recognized as both an operating expense (for the amortization of the ROU asset) and interest expense (for interest on the lease liability).

A lease is defined as a contract that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company recognized an ROU asset and corresponding lease liability on its balance sheets for its office space lease agreement. See Note 8 - Leases for further discussion, including the impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

ROU assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

Leases in which the Company is the lessee are comprised of office rental. All of the leases are classified as operating leases. The Company has a lease agreement for office space with a remaining term of 3.5 years as of June 30, 2021.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04 “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation— Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815- 40) Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options” which clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. An entity should measure the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as follows: i) for a modification or an exchange that is a part of or directly related to a modification or an exchange of an existing debt instrument or line-of-credit or revolving-debt arrangements (hereinafter, referred to as a “debt” or “debt instrument”), as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged written call option and the fair value of that written call option immediately before it is modified or exchanged; ii) for all other modifications or exchanges, as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the modified or exchanged written call option over the fair value of that written call option immediately before it is modified or exchanged. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

All other newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed to be not applicable or immaterial to the Company.

NOTE 3 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

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

Chapter 11 Reorganization

On March 20, 2020, the Company filed a voluntary petition commencing a case under chapter 11 of title 11 of the U.S. Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York. On August 7, 2020, the Company and Auctus, the Company’s largest unsecured creditor and a stockholder as of the Petition Date, filed an Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Bankruptcy, for any outstanding principal and interest at the date of the Company’s Chapter 11 petition (except for creditors who provided additional debt financing in connection with the Bankruptcy), 100 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued for each dollar of allowed claim, with such shares subject to leak-out restrictions prohibiting the holder from selling, without the consent of the Company, more than 33% of the issued shares during each of the three initial 30 day periods following the Effective Date. As a result of the Chapter 11 petition, the conversion rights for the then outstanding notes were rescinded and were subject to the conversion rights outlined above.

On October 30, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Plan, as amended. Amendments to the Plan are reflected in the Confirmation Order. On November 16, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan became effective.

The material features of the Plan, as amended and confirmed by the Confirmation Order, are as follows:

Stock Incentive Plan

On March 18, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). Pursuant to the 2021 Plan, a total of 4,700,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized to be issued pursuant to the grant of stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and other incentive awards.

Warrant and Option Valuation

The Company has computed the fair value of warrants and options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected term used for warrants and options issued to non-employees is the contractual life and the expected term used for options issued to employees and directors is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee option grants. The Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

Warrant Activity Summary

In applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model to warrants granted or issued, the Company used the following assumptions:

Pursuant to a hearing held on February 13, 2020, the temporary restraining order with regard to the Company issuing shares of common stock was not continued.

On March 11, 2020, the Court ordered that the Company (i) convene and hold a special meeting, by no later than March 18, 2020, of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), for approval of certain changes to the shares of the Company, as set forth below; (ii) approve a reverse split and/or a stock consolidation, solely of the Company’s outstanding shares, at a ratio of 1,000 to 1, (iii) approve of the continuation of the Company’s then total authorized shares of common stock at 2,000,000,000 shares; and (iv) to call a special meeting of stockholders of the Company, within ten days of the special meeting of the Board and by not later than March 25, 2020, to approve the foregoing.

As discussed above in Note 5 – Notes Payable – Chapter 11 Reorganization on March 20, 2020, the Company filed a petition commencing its Chapter 11 Case. As of the date of this report, the Company has not effected the reverse split.

The Company records legal costs associated with loss contingencies as incurred and accrues for all probable and estimable settlements.

Appointment or Departure of Directors and Certain Officers

On March 18, 2021, the Company and Lance Alstodt, its President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, entered into an employment agreement (the “Alstodt Employment Agreement”) which provides for a term ending on March 18, 2026. Pursuant to the Alstodt Employment Agreement, Mr. Alstodt is entitled to receive initially an annual salary of $250,000. Mr. Alstodt’s annual salary will increase by $50,000 per year. In addition, in the event certain performance goals are met, Mr. Alstodt’s salary will increase by $150,000. The Alstodt Employment Agreement also provides for the grant to Mr. Alstodt pursuant to the Plan of (i) a ten year option for the purchase of 1,173,917,974 shares of common stock of the Company and (ii) 586,958,987 RSUs of the Company (See Note 6 – Stockholders’ Deficit) for additional information.

Conversion of Convertible Notes

During the year ended December 31, 2020 and prior to the Petition Date, certain lenders requested to exchange a portion of their outstanding convertible note principal and accrued interest for shares of the Company’s common stock. As of the Petition Date these shares had yet to be issued to the lenders; however, the shares of the Company’s common stock issued for unsecured claims as part of the Plan to the certain lenders represented the aggregate unsecured claims less the principal and accrued interest that was represented in the unaffected exchanges. The Company believes that there may be a potential contingency related to the non-issued shares that would be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock and not monetary compensation.

On June 24, 2021, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with one of the abovemention lenders, whereby the Company agreed to issue 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of cash for an additional $30,000 of approved unsecured claims related to the Plan. The Company issued the 3,000,000 shares on July 16, 2021 (See Note 9).

Business Overview

We develop therapeutic products and medical therapies using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult (non-embryonic) stem cells. We are currently pursuing our Disc/Spine Program with our initial investigational therapeutic product being called BRTX-100. We submitted an IND application to the FDA to obtain authorization to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial investigating the use of BRTX-100, our lead cell therapy candidate, in the treatment of chronic lower back pain arising from degenerative disc disease. We have received such authorization from the FDA. We intend to commence such clinical trial during 2022 (assuming the receipt of necessary funding). We have obtained a license to use technology for investigational adult stem cell treatment of disc and spine conditions, including protruding and bulging lumbar discs. The technology is an advanced stem cell injection procedure that may offer relief from lower back pain, buttock and leg pain, and numbness and tingling in the leg and foot. We are also developing our ThermoStem Program. This pre-clinical program involves the use of brown adipose (fat) in connection with the cell-based treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity as well as hypertension, other metabolic disorders and cardiac deficiencies. United States patents related to the ThermoStem Program were issued in September 2015, January 2019, March 2020, March 2021, and July 2021; Australian patents related to the ThermoStem Program were issued in April 2017 and October 2019; Japanese patents related to the ThermoStem Program were issued in December 2017 and May 2021; Israeli patents related to the ThermoStem Program were issued in October 2019 and May 2020; and European patents related to the ThermoStem Program were issued in April 2020 and January 2021.

We have licensed a patented curved needle device that is a needle system designed to deliver cells and/or other therapeutic products or materials to the spine and discs or other potential sites. We anticipate that FDA approval or clearance will be necessary for this device prior to commercialization. We do not intend to utilize this device in connection with our contemplated Phase 2 clinical trial with regard to BRTX-100.

Revenue

The Company derives all of its revenue pursuant to a license agreement between the Company and a stem cell treatment company (“SCTC”) entered into in January 2012, as amended in November 2015. Pursuant to the license agreement, the SCTC granted to the Company a license to use certain intellectual property related to, among other things, stem cell disc procedures and the Company has granted to the SCTC a sublicense to use, and the right to sublicense to third parties the right to use, in certain locations in the United States and the Cayman Islands, certain of the licensed intellectual property. In consideration of the sublicenses, the SCTC has agreed to pay the Company royalties on a per disc procedure basis.

Results of Operations

Revenues

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we generated $15,000 and $19,000, respectively, of royalty revenue in connection with our sublicense agreement.

Marketing and Promotion

Marketing and promotion expenses include advertising and promotion, marketing and seminars, meals, entertainment and travel expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, marketing and promotion expenses remained consistent.

We expect that marketing and promotion expenses will increase in the future as we increase our marketing activities following full commercialization of our products and services.

Consulting

Consulting expenses consist of consulting fees and stock-based compensation to consultants. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, consulting expenses decreased by $31,941, or 95%, from $33,589 to $1,648, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease is primarily due to the Company’s reduced usage of consultants as the Company continues to emerge from its Chapter 11 reorganization.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses include cash and non-cash compensation of (a) our Vice President of Research and Development; (b) our Scientific Advisory Board members; and (c) laboratory staff and costs related to our brown fat and disc/spine initiatives.

The decrease is primarily due to (i) the decrease of approximately $35,000 in stock compensation allocated to the Company’s research and development activities and (ii) a decrease of approximately $20,000 in depreciation allocated to research and development activities.

We expect that our research and development expenses will increase with the recommencement of our research and development initiatives during the year ending December 31, 2021.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, severance costs and stock-based compensation to employees (excluding any cash or non-cash compensation of our Vice President of Research and Development and our laboratory staff), as well as corporate expenses such as legal and professional fees, investor relations and occupancy related expenses.

We expect that our general and administrative expenses will further increase as we expand our staff, develop our infrastructure and incur additional costs to support the growth of our business.

Interest expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, interest expense increased $157,790, or 653%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was due to the increase in outstanding notes payable as a result of our restructuring under our Chapter 11 reorganization.

Amortization of debt discount

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, amortization of debt discount increased $325,374, or 100%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was due to the increase in outstanding notes payable not accounted for under bankruptcy accounting as a result of our restructuring under our Chapter 11 reorganization.

Reorganization items, net

Reorganization items, net consists primarily of costs associated the post-petition Chapter 11 bankruptcy. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we did not record reorganization items, net as compared to reorganization items, net of $3,361,416 for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

The increase is primarily due to an increase of approximately $16,700,000 in stock-based compensation resulting from the issuances of 2,347,835,948 stock options and 1,173,917,974 RSUs and (ii) an increase of approximately $850,000 in legal, accounting and financial services fees.

We expect that our general and administrative expenses will further increase as we expand our staff, develop our infrastructure and incur additional costs to support the growth of our business.

Interest expense

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, interest expense increased $53,378, or 17%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was due to the increase in outstanding notes payable as a result of our restructuring under our Chapter 11 reorganization.

Amortization of debt discount

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, amortization of debt discount decreased $323,992, or 30%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was due to a decrease in outstanding notes payable containing beneficial conversion features resulting in a debt discount.

Loss on extinguishment of notes payable, net

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we did not record a gain (loss) on extinguishment of notes payable, as compared to a loss on extinguishment of notes payable of $658,152 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we did not record a gain (loss) related to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, as compared to a loss related to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $2,141,069 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Reorganization items, net

Reorganization items, net consists primarily of costs associated the post-petition Chapter 11 bankruptcy. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we did not record reorganization items, net as compared to reorganization items, net of $781,306 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:

Availability of Additional Funds

Based upon our accumulated deficit and stockholders’ deficit of $109,558,758 and $3,808,941, respectively, as of June 30, 2021, along with our forecast for continued operating losses and our need for financing to fund our contemplated clinical trials, as of such date, we required additional equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations.

As of June 30, 2021, our outstanding debt of $9,326,037, together with interest at a rate of between 5% and 7% per annum, has a maturity date of November 16, 2023, except for the PPP loan. As of June 30, 2021, the outstanding debt amount of $9,326,037 did not include $650,493 of DIP and Plan costs associated with the DIP Funding and the Plan (the “Auctus Costs”). Of the Auctus Costs, $500,000 and $150,493 are recorded in debt discount and accrued expenses, respectively, on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings.

We may be unable to raise sufficient additional capital when we need it or raise capital on favorable terms. We have granted a security interest in all of our assets to certain lenders, including Auctus, in connection with our Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. This may impede our ability to raise additional debt financing. In addition, future financing may require us to pledge certain assets and enter into covenants that could restrict certain business activities or our ability to incur further indebtedness and may contain other terms that are not favorable to our stockholders or us. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The following events have mitigated the above factors with regards to our ability to continue as a going concern: (i) as part of our Chapter 11 reorganization approximately $14,700,000 in outstanding debt and other liabilities were exchanged for (a) shares of common stock, (b) new convertible notes with three year terms or (c) new convertible notes with three year terms and warrants to purchase shares of common stock; (ii) we secured DIP financing during our Chapter 11 reorganization in the aggregate amount of $1,189,413, and $3,848,548 in debt financing as part of our Chapter 11 reorganization to sustain operations; and (iii) pursuant to the plan of reorganization, Auctus is required to loan to us, as needed, an additional $2,100,000. As a result of the above, we have sufficient cash to fund operations for the twelve months subsequent to the filing date.

The Company will need to obtain further funding of at least $12,000,000 to complete a Phase 2 clinical study of the use of BRTX-100.

Cash Flows

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, our sources and uses of cash were as follows:

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,555,530 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the net loss of $19,715,925 which was partially offset by non-cash expenses of $17,849,822 related to amortization of debt discount and stock-based compensation and $310,573 of cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of increases in accrued interest partially offset by a decrease in prepaid assets and other current assets, accounts payable, and lease liability. Net cash used in operating activities was $869,084 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to the net loss of $4,675,112, which was partially offset by non-cash expenses of $2,829,648 related to amortization of debt discount, accretion of interest expense, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of derivative liabilities, and loss on extinguishment of notes payable and $976,380 of cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of increases in accounts payable, accrued interest, expenses and other current liabilities and decreases in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $250,000, which was due to $250,000 of net proceeds from a loan received under the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1,165,517, which was primarily due to $441,762 of net proceeds from debt financings and $713,755 of proceeds from the DIP financing.

We anticipate that the costs to complete our Phase 2 clinical trials with regard to our Disc/Spine Program will be at least $12,000,000. In addition, we anticipate approximately $45,000,000 in additional funding will be needed to complete the clinical trials using BRTX-100 (assuming the receipt of no revenues). As noted above in “Availability of Additional Funds” we secured additional funding as part of Chapter 11 reorganization in the aggregate amount of $5,037,961 as well as approximately $14,700,000 in outstanding debt and other liabilities being exchanged for (a) shares of common stock, (b) new convertible notes with three year terms or (c) new convertible notes with three year terms and warrants to purchase shares of common stock. Additionally, pursuant to the plan of reorganization, Auctus is required to loan to us, as needed, an additional $2,100,000. As a result of the above, we have sufficient cash to fund operations for the twelve months subsequent to the filing date.

Effects of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, revenues or operating results during the periods presented.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on April 30, 2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not Applicable. As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer, who is also our principal financial officer, we are required to perform an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2021. Management has not completed such evaluation and, as such, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer, who is also our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As a result of the material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting described below, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021 were not effective.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021 based on the framework established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021 was not effective.

A material weakness, as defined in the standards established by the Sarbanes-Oxley, is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The ineffectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses:

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than described above there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our second quarter of 2021 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company, threatened against or affecting our Company, our common stock, our subsidiary or of our Company’s or our subsidiary’s officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use Of Proceeds

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we issued the following securities in transactions not involving any public offering. For each of the following transactions, we relied upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering or Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code as a security exchanged by an issuer for a claim against the issuer in a bankruptcy plan of reorganization. For each such transaction, we did not use general solicitation or advertising to market the securities, the securities were offered to a limited number of persons, the investors had access to information regarding us (including information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2021 and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, press releases made by us and information contained in filings with the bankruptcy court), and we were available to answer questions by prospective investors.
